After stopping Loki, the Avengers went back to Stark Tower, to just chill. Bruce saw the best opportunity to study Thor and Mjolnir.
Bruce's POV
I walked up to Thor. "Hey, can I have a look at that thing? Your hammer?" I asked, turning slightly red. Thor chuckled. I felt like there's something more I should know before having the hammer. Thor lifted it up easily from the ground and gave it to me carefully. "Here you go, Banner." I took the hammer and suddenly my hands sunk lower. I couldn't lift it. Thor laughed. "Only the ones that are worthy the power can lift the hammer", he said. I turned more red and chuckled nervously. "Now I'm more curious to study it. But how?" I asked, thinking about ways to possibly lift the hammer. "I can come and help", Thor said. "I can carry it everywhere and lift it and like that." I thanked him and showed the way to my lab.
Thor grabbed the hammer, just by a flash, and followed me. I couldn't help but look at his enormous muscles. Were those the secret to lift it? Oh my, the feeling someone would have to be his boyfriend. Feeling of safety and protection. I could use that feeling. I'm sure he could've stopped me when I had turned big and green. Not with his strength. Also with it, but mostly with his child-like adorable curiosity and excitement. Optimism and happiness spread out all around.
"Hello, planet Earth is calling!" I shivered and saw Thor's big hand waving in front of my face. Thor chuckled again. "Hey, Banner, wake up", he smiled. "You suddenly stopped. What were you thinking about?" I turned bright red. "Just science stuff..." Thor looked at me suspiciously. Then he shrugged his shoulders and smiled. I walked inside the lab, Thor following me. He lifted Mjolnir on the table and sat on a chair. I took my magnifying glass and looked at the hammer. Thor looked curiously at my working. I noticed his breath in my neck. Oddly enough, it didn't bother me. It felt cute. His presence was calming and carefree. He also asked questions the whole time.
"How did you become the big guy?"
I stopped working. "Gamma radiation", I said quietly. Thor suddenly understood he shouldn't have asked. "A-a-a bomb." I said and sat on a chair next to his. I started sobbing quietly. "Sorry", Thor said and patted me on the back. "I'm terribly sorry, Banner..." He hugged me and I hugged nervously back. I felt racing power inside of me. Thor seemed to notice my green fingertips and hugged me more. I cried more and more, seeing my whole hand turn green. Suddenly, Thor lifted me up on his hands and kissed my forehead, carrying me to the couch with his strong hands. "The sun's getting real low, Banner..." He said cuddling with me on the couch. I calmed down instantly and leaned on Thor. "Real low", I repeated. "I love you, Thor."
