#━━ ✦ ft. Jove Thunder { ofmoonandthunder }

[walkingthroughfire-a]

It felt like it was all too good to be true ; and then it was. Before her, before God, before family and friends he was ready to make the vow of forever. Something he had given up long ago - but Jove helped him find that spark again and turned it into a fire. But now as they are here at this new road in their lives she's telling him she can't do this.

And Steve in his military blues is looking at her with heartbreak in his eyes, holding her hands. "Hey..." He will gently escort her away from the view of everyone so they could talk one on one with one another. " What's going on? Talk to me." He speaks softly, concerned, brushing strands of hairs from her face.

" If you don't want to do this ..." he gives a pause and the thought of speaking further on it nearly has his heart cracking. " ... We don't have to. We can get out of here, you and me." but as long as she agreed with the 'you and me' it wasn't all bad, right? But why did his heart seem to sway toward the possibility that it wasn't with him that she'd want to leave..?

"Tell me what it is you need." His hand still holds hers, thumbs stroking in circles hoping that his touch can ease her mind, her heart and that she can draw focus, to talk to him.

"Jove..?"

  They look into each other's eyes , his hand cups her cheek while his calloused thumb brushes slowly against her skin. They could fight this, they could find a way to make it so that they were nothing more than what they once were a long time ago. Colleagues, friends, but nothing more.

Steve can't go back to that -- he doesn't want to go back to that. Ever since he met her his life has been turned upside down but that was never a bad thing in Steve's eyes. She let him see the world outside of it's own bubble that sat in shades of black and white. She brought a color to it that was unlike any other that he's ever seen.

He's tired of fighting this. Every day is another battle and yet when it comes to her there is only one thing he wants, one thing he needs. With her she makes him stronger than the serum ever could. With her by his side his faith doesn't waver and he doesn't falter. He knows that with her he'll always have someone who has his back. Not simply out there on the field ; but in life as a whole. He's lost enough in his past life, and in this one.

But the one thing he refuses to lose is this. Her.

❝ I need you like water , like breath, like rain ... like the mercy from Heaven's gate. There's a freedom in your arms and it carries me through...I need you.❞

He stands there with a smirk across his lips, tossing Mjolnir with a twirl to catch the hilt. To her words he chuckles and it rumbles like the thunder he commands. "Showing off?" he asks but he dismisses it with one shake of his head. "Not at all. It's more of a ... display of skill." though who is he trying to impress? The woman next to him with a similar skill set when it comes to the roll of the clouds?

Or is he simply being himself, taking joy in the battle before them? Perhaps a little bit of both but it goes unsaid. No one has asked which is why it's best kept as his own personal secret that he hides with that charming smile as he takes his stance.

"Dear Jove, " He turns to look at her, grin as big as ever. " If you're afraid you cannot compete there is no shame in that, but I wouldn't give up on yourself too easily."

Now he's simply asking for it, but he does greatly enjoy their banter and her show of skill. After all, he is impressed by not only that but her beauty as well.

And there is no shame in that.

" stop showing off " @ofmoonandthunder

[walkingthroughfire-a]

An idea of a simple life was something Steve had given up on some time ago. But then he thought love was off the table when he lost her the first time. Back together by the grace of God or the universe only to nearly be ripped away from each other again. Losing her once was hard enough on the heart - to lose her again would be devastation.

"Jove!" he yells her name over the chaos and destruction. "Jove!" And when there is no answer the panic sets in. "not again" he thinks to himself, frantically looking around but then he sees her standing among rubble. Relief courses through him as he breathes and without a thought he rushes over to her.

No words said, he simply grabs hold of her by the waist, his shield on his back as his other hand moves on the back of her neck and pulls her into a deep and thankful kiss.

Perhaps now is not the time nor the place, but he wasn't going to waste another moment to let her know how he feels. Words were not enough.

kissing your lover after believing you’d lost them �� Jove & Steve @ofmoonandthunder

[walkingthroughfire-a]

He lost her once ; and that was more than enough. Now he stands before her with the odds stacked against them and it feels they are higher than ever. Will they come out the other side like the good guys always should, or will this be it?

His hands caress her cheeks as though he's memorizing her face for the last time, fighting back the tears that want to spill. He only has one simple question for Jove. More so one demand of her before they part their ways.

"Tell me how I am supposed to live without you...?" He asks, his head leaning against hers. He doesn't want to and he hopes it doesn't come to that. But hope in battles like this ... Hope is a dangerous word to use.

[ PUMPKIN SPICE ]  for  the  sender  and  receiver  to  share  a  pumpkin  spice  latte. — Two gods trying earthy things @ofmoonandthunder

Coffee had become one of his favorite things here ; but he was taken in when he realized that the flavors changed with the seasons. Offering something with a 'pumpkin spice' it left Thor with a bit of wondering especially since he saw people purchase such drinks day in and out when the fall weather hit.

After obtaining the cup he turns and smiles at Jove, then he offers it to her. " You first." He says with a smile, though it may not be out of the kindness of his heart in which he offers it. While others seem to enjoy it with their soft 'mms' and 'yums' after taking a sip or a chug, Thor is hesitant to give it a true taste.

The smell is overwhelming ; not in a bad way. Unlike anything he has ever had bless his nostrils. The mix of pumpkin, the spice, the smell of the vanilla and the cream all blend so wonderfully that it can't possibly be that delicious. And, he trusts Jove's judgement.

" Go on. My treat. " And there he stands with a devious smirk that could rival his brother's.

[ TACKLE ]  for  sender  to  tackle  receiver  into  a  freshly  accumulated  pile  of  leaves. — Jove to Steve @ofmoonandthunder

He had been working all morning, raking up pile after pile of the leaves that seemed to have not only changed color but fallen over night. It took a few hours but there were piles that now decorated the yard.

Some small ,some large, and now it's time to get the bags out to get all the leaves up. A sigh escapes Steve but he is enjoying the mundane chores around this place. The view from the outside overlooking the country side, the chill in the air, and the company that he thought was inside the house.

" Hey. " he says to Jove as he looks to her standing there and she's looking rather mischievously at him. "Uh..Jove?"

Before he even realizes it she's running toward him, lunging in the air and soon tackling him down into the largest pile of leaves. There is a yell that escapes Steve as he fumbles into it, hearing the crunch underneath him and watching the orange and brown colors fly up around them.

He can't help it, he's laughing as he wraps his arms around Jove. There is a sigh that follows but the smile stays.

" You're raking them up again. "

He can hear the rain hitting the top of the tent with a faint echo as he sits in it's shelter. Tired but not really given a moment to rest he feels like he's just a face and nothing more than that. He wanted this to fight, not to be a spectacle or a show even if he was an uplifting visage for everyone to view.

Steve wanted to be more ; and she's the only one who is seeing him as more - for all of the things he's done it felt as though only she took real notice of him. Honored, flattered and in awe of her to be seen by her eyes gave him something so much more. It gave him the encouragement to keep fighting.

And it gives him something else to fight for.

His hand gentle against her cheek he leans in, lips softly on her own without regret but with thanks, with affection, with a boldness he hasn't felt before.

Where they go from here - only time will tell.

sender kisses receiver in a tent. — jove to steve @ofmoonandthunder

[walkingthroughfire-a]

Words and sentiments that hit almost too close to home. After everything that has happened between them, to them against them even from back when they first met certainly seems like a moment of peace is so far out of reach. And yet in her company it's the most real anything has ever felt.

Even after being in ice for all of those years -- nothing felt more real than when he saw her as though nothing ever changed. Even though the world clearly had one thing remained the same and it was their bond.

Nothing, not even years could break that.

Steve moves his hand gentle against her hip and pulls her close to him, his other hand against her cheek.

"Then let me reassure you, Jove. It's real. They're real."

We're real, he thinks to himself wanting to speak those words yet they get caught between his teeth. But he hopes those words are enough for her. Even if actions will speak louder to soothe such fears.

❝ When things are good I don’t believe that they’re for real. ❞ — Jove to Steve @ofmoonandthunder

[walkingthroughfire-a]

He's washing off the dirt from his body, from his neck and his face as he stands looking in the mirror. He hears her voice from the open door, across the room and it gives him pause.He says nothing to her then, but continues the process of cleaning himself up as her words weigh heavy on him.

When he was younger, smaller, it was his best friend who saved him from himself and the troubles he got into. But then after the serum he's been saving everyone else and he's never thought twice about it. It's what he does, it's who he is. But it's the second part that has him quiet.

'who takes care of him?'.

Steve puts the cloth on the edge of the sink, his hands resting on it as he leans forward but avoids his own reflection. Instead he turns to Jove who is leaning against the door looking at him in that way she does. That concern, that kind of hidden affection.

He forces a smile.

" I suppose I never thought about it."

— Jove to Steve: ❝  you’re always trying to save everyone.  who takes care of you? ❞ @ofmoonandthunder

[walkingthroughfire-a]

He can't recall a time he slept as well as he had the night before. Even as he knows the sun is hanging higher in the sky than his usual get up time, Steve doesn't seem to mind the idea of remaining wrapped up in the blankets beside her.

The warmth of her body drawing him in closer to her but just as he is about to get his arm back around her she's sitting up. Steve opens his eyes slowly watching as she pushes her hair from her shoulder wondering if she is going to get up completely or lay back with him. As he notices the shifts in the blanket and her ready to make a move, he grabs her by the waist and pulls her back in, his head nestled between her shoulder blades.

"Don't go." He murmurs, kissing between them before closing his eyes once more.

"It's still early."

[walkingthroughfire-a]

They fight. They fight for each other, with each other, and sometimes at each other. That's just something that is bound to happen but one thing always remains the same at the end of the day ; he'd give up everything to be with her - happy with her come hell or high water. Tonight is no different as he wraps his arm around her as they stand in the middle of a moment that only they are living. He kisses her softly, his arms wrapped round her with those warms that were not always as strong. His eyes closed while he takes in a deep breath, the scent of her hair bringing a calm over him. His fingertips curl against the hem of her top but go no further as this moment is a different kind of intimacy.

They could have lost each other again ; yet they stand here once more in each others arms, defying all of the odds. "Jove..." he speaks softly as his free hand has his fingers tangling themselves through her hair as he takes her in and getting lost in the calm only she can provide.

The world will always have chaos and he hopes that while it turns they'll still have each other, come what may. "Let me know that you love me...let that be enough..." he whispers softly, placing a kiss against the side of her head.

Erik : He really doesn't want to be playing this game, it's obvious by the look on his face but he will give his answer honestly. "Smash."

Gideon : A touch to his chin as he looks Jove up, down, then back up again. "Pass. Not that I don't love a strong woman, I just know she has something for my facesake."

Bucky : " Pass. " and he points toward Gideon and nods in agreement.

Loki : Loki takes a step back, lifts his hands as though to defend himself. She is a lot like Sif in her strength and he already knows the levels of which Sif would inflict harm on him. "I shall pass.'

Cory : There is a long pause from Cory as he considers it, arms crossed and fingers tapping against his arms. "Hm....Smash." He nods with confidence.

Nathan : " Smash. " is there anyone he wouldn't at this point or is he simply being silly and shameless ? Just enjoying the game as one would think. He's simply having a good time.

Steve Rogers : Stephen says nothing, he's just turning a few shades of pink from his cheek to his nose, even into his ears as he looks from Jove then looks away as he mumbles his answer under his breath. "Smash."

⌨️ — jove & steve

I know there is a lot of debate surrounding Steve and whether or not he actually lost his virginity but here's the thing....Steve DID and it was with JOVE and that's my canon and the rest can go skip around a pond.

And it happened before he was frozen in ice.

Anyway - that headcanon aside ...

During their time apart, Steve never once forgot Jove. In fact he thinks about her most when it storms, and misses her the most during them as well.

He regrets never telling her his true feelings for her back then, and is afraid it's too late now with how much time has passed.
