lovers alone wear sunlight (prompts post and meme)

[harborshore]

It's been a month, darlings. I'm constantly exhausted, grateful for spring, worrying about things settling down. I found out it's going to take 5 months to get into the clinic I need, my brother's knee is pretty much fucked (surgery can do a lot, but), I still don't have a job in the fall--but I have an apartment on a magical island in the middle of the city starting on August 1 or so. I have a job right now. And I had an interview yesterday and it went well.

Two things!

First, the You Are Beautiful meme is happening again. My thread is here: THE YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL MEME

Second, I'd like to write about cuddling. Give me any two or three (or five) Avengers characters and a setting, and I will tell you about them cuddling. XMFC characters are also fair game.

.....I had a really really bad day at work, so I'm indulging myself here:

Thor and a kitten. A FLUFFY KITTEN. LIKE THIS ONE:



or this one!



or maybe this one!



or heck, this one's cute too!




....this wasn't just an excuse for me to spam you with cute kittens. It was also a) an excuse for me to look at cute kittens and b) a serious request. I would LOVE a ficlet about Thor cuddling a kitten. *pets Thor*

Thor is decidedly taken aback when he enters the Avengers Mansion and none of his comrades are there. Instead of Tony asking to test Mjölnir's effect on some new invention of his or Steve asking to spar or Natasha making him cook her lunch (Thor has mastered the art of cooking in this new environment; he is very much looking forward to demonstrating his new skill set to Jane, who is on her way from Norway now that the threat is deemed to have passed), he is greeted by cats.

Kittens, rather.

He finds one of them in the foyer, sitting in the middle of the floor looking forlorn.

"Little one," Thor says, because the Allspeak is useful for many things, including the ability to make himself understood to animals in all realms, "are you lost?"

"Call me little again and I'll kick your ass, big guy," the kitten replies, twitching its tiny tiny nose.

That was a rather distinctive tone. "Clint Barton!" Thor says happily, scooping him up. "I didn't know you had the ability to shape-shift!"

"I don't," Clint says patiently, and, true to his nature, climbs up Thor's arm to sit on his shoulder.

"Not the hair," Thor says hastily, because Clint does tend to choose the highest vantage point he can get to.

"Fine," Clint mutters, biting at Thor's throat. Thor can't really feel it, but he imagines Clint misses his usual weaponry.

"What happened to make you so small?" he says, grinning when Clint hisses in protest.

"Fucking magic," Clint says. "You're sure your brother can't get out, right?"

There is real anxiety in his voice, and Thor's heart is sore at the thought of his brother, awaiting trial in Asgard.

"He cannot touch you," he says gently. "Something else must be the cause. Have you seen any of the others?"

"Natasha is hiding," Clint says. "She's tiny and black, of course. The others--I don't know about Stark or Banner. Maybe there's a green cat somewhere?"

Thor almost stumbles then, because another kitten walks across the floor right in front of them. It isn't green, but the way it blinks at them--"Bruce?" Thor asks.

"Yes," Bruce says tightly. "Someone tell me this will be over soon?"

"I wonder what would happen if you shifted right now," Clint says.

"We would contain you," Thor says.

"Because that went so well last time," Bruce mutters.

"Not to worry," Thor says firmly. "We need to find the others."

They do, slowly. Tony is holed up under a table in his lab and only comes out when Bruce hops off of Thor's shoulder and walks in there to coax him out. Steve's the smallest, sickly and scrawny, and Thor picks him up carefully because he cannot be sure that Steve can climb up himself. Natasha doesn't come out until they've all gathered in the living room, and she doesn't say a word to any of them but also doesn't push Clint off when he crawls next to her and starts licking at her face. Thor lets the other three fall asleep on him, and he finally succumbs to slumber himself when he has tried Coulson twice and manages to leave a message with the irritating system the Midgardians came up with to replace messengers.

KITTENS COVERING THOR.


Thank you, I kind of needed that visual.
