The Demigod From Asgard - A Steve Rogers x Reader Story

Chapter 61: Not Inadequate*

"Now this is in no way as good as your present, I did have another present for you at the compound but you know" you ramble as you walk back over.

Steve looks back at you in surprise "you had something for me already?" He asks.

"Yeah I was making a scrapbook of sorts, filled with stuff from our time together, our first year married, with space to add more if we wanted" you explain a hint of sadness in your voice as you sat down.

"Hey, it's okay, none of us knew we'd be in this situation at all, I'm sure I would have loved it and maybe at some point in the future we'll be back in the compound or I'll break in and steal it" Steve smirks making you laugh.

"I'm still sorry," you say as you pass him his present.

"Stop apologising I love it already," Steve tells you kissing the top of your head.

You smile slightly as he begins to unwrap his present revealing the art supplies you had brought him.

"I know it's not the exact stuff you like you use but it's the closest I could find," you tell him quickly as you scratch the back of your head nervously.

Steve stops your rambling by cupping your cheek and crashing his lips to yours. You let out a squeak of surprise but soon melt into the kiss. Once he pulled out of the kiss Steve rested his forehead against yours.

"I love it, thank you so much" he smiles kissing you again gently.

"Really?" You ask uncertain.

"Really, I've been meaning to try out new supplies so this is perfect" he smiles "and I have the perfect muse" he adds with a smirk.

"I was thinking maybe we could spend the day by the lakes, just chill out we'll hopefully be back on earth next week so may as well make the most of it," you say with a casual shrug of your shoulders.

"Sounds perfect, I'll bring my brand new supplies" Steve smiles pecking your lips.

Once you two were dressed you made your through the palace and out towards the lake. As you were walking down a corridor you could hear your father hissing at someone.

"Have you even been watching!" Odin hisses.

"Yes, I swear" you heard Skurge respond quickly.

"Get back to your post and tell me as soon as you hear something" Odin orders.

As you round the corner you saw Odin pinching the bridge of his nose as Skurge rushed away.

"Everything okay father?" You ask as you approach.

He startles slightly before looking over at you and nodding quickly "yes, everything is fine, nothing to worry about" he tells you.

"Are you sure?" Your question.

"Yes, it's fine, you don't need to worry si-daughter" Odin says stumbling over his words at the end.

"Anyway, I hear today is a special day," Odin says changing the subject before you could question him.

"Uh yeah, it's our anniversary," Steve says putting his arm around your waist.

"Congratulations, how do you plan to celebrate?" Odin smiles clapping his hands together.

"Just gonna spend the day by the lakes" you say smiling up at Steve.

"Well enjoy it, I have duties to attend to," Odin says patting you on the shoulder as he passed you.

You look over your shoulder watching him walk away quickly "something is up with him and I can't work out what" you say looking up at Steve.

"Maybe old age is getting to him," Steve says making you snort with laughter.
