Chapter Text
Thor hummed with content as his lover, Steve gently nibbled on his lips. The super soldier let out a sigh as the God King returned his gestures.
"Steve, I got you something." Thor said, pulling back from his snogging. Steve pouted, but waited for the larger man to do something.
"What is it?" he asked. Thor smiled and stood, moving to retrieve a small crate. He held the crate with a delicateness unlike him, which, for some reason, kind of turned Steve on. Thor then placed the crate in his lover's arms.
"I remember conversing with your friend, The Sargent Barnes, that you would have loved a pet when you were younger. Now that you are retired, i found a perfect companion for you." Thor then opened the tony crate. A tiny squeak peeped from the container. Steve gasped. He pulled out a small kitten, a tiny honey colored thing with red socks and a white bib.
"She's lovely." Steve cuddled the kitten, who was all for some love from the large man. Thor smiled.
"She is called a Flerkin. There are very few in the galaxies, so few that she is the last female in thirty nine light years. Flerkins are feline looking aliens, able to hold a small pocket universe in their stomachs. Many try to slay them, for they are formidable creatures, and can swallow a bilgesnipe with ease, even at this size. It took me a long time, but i found her." Steve gave Thor a gentle peck on the cheek.
"She looks like just a kitten to me, but i'll take your word for it." Thor smiled. The flerkin kitten mewled and nuzzled her new masters clean cut face. Steve laughed.
"You need a name." the kitten cocked her tiny head. Thor chuckled at the innocent antics.
"That she does." Steve chuckled and held the kitten up close. Said creature was purring away. The two massive blondes looked over the baby alien cat.
"I like...Toffee." Steve stated.
"Toffee, that's the sweet candy you favor, correct?" Thor asked. Steve nodded.
"Yeah, her colors remind me of fresh toffee, not yet solidified."
"Toffee it is, then." Toffee mewled, seemingly agreeing with the name. Thor and Steve chuckled and happily cuddled with the kitten.
"...What does a flerkin eat?" Steve asked.
"Anything really. But since it is similar to a cat on Midgard, I think fish and bird meat should be okay." Steve smiled.
"Then let's feed her."

Peter smiled happily as his girlfriend snuggled close to his side. Shuri was adoring Midtown High School, but from the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a glowering tan skinned boy, angrily staring at the uncaring Peter. Lucas was chirping away, happy to be sitting on her boyfriends head.
"Peter, who is that boy?" she asked. Peter turned to see Flash Thompson stalk their way, his eyes livid.
"Flash Thompson. A common jerk who hates me." he replied.
"Is that so?" Shuri then steeled up her frame and plastered a obviously fake smile on her lips as Flash sauntered over.
"Hey Princess. Why are dating a loser like Parker, I might a much better choice than him." Flash gloated as he sneered at Peter. Peter rolled his eyes, knowing that the moron was digging a very deep proverbial grave.
"Oh? Why might you be better than him?" she asked, her voice empty of emotion. Flash smiled, thinking he had convinced her.
"Well, for one I'm better looking. I'm smarter, stronger and richer than he is. He is nothing but an orphaned loser who lies about having an internship with Tony Stark." he replied. Shuri scoffed. Flash thought it was to Peter.
"Oh, so you believe me." he then began to try to woo her.
"Shut up, you stupid American. I wasn't agreeing with you." Shuri then lost her facade and glowered at the male. Peter stifled his laughing.
"You say you are better than Peter. How? You say you are smarter than him, you are stronger and richer. I don't care what you say. You want to know why I chose him to be my boyfriend and future spouse?" Peter choked at the exclamation, "It's because he is not only smart enough to keep up with me, but he is sweet, kind and patient. He understands responsibility, and doesn't go on power highs, like you." she snipped. Peter sniggered at the dressing down of Flash. Said boy was blushing furiously at being chastised.
"Well, at least I have a family, unlike this loser." he sneered. Shuri growled.
"He does have a family. Mr. Stark, Me, his somehow attractive aunt...family is more than just a parent or sibling. It is who you love." Shuri then flipped her braided locks over her shoulder and pressed close to her boyfriend.
"Look, Flash. I don't know why she likes me, or if she was serious on me being her husband later on, but I love Shuri, and She is amazing. So please, back off." Peter then ushered his lovely girlfriend over to the bleachers. Flash snarled as the two left him behind.
"Damn you Parker."

The day passed by as many of the Midtown high school students avoided Shuri and her white American boyfriend. Especially since her snips at Flash. Ned and MJ however, couldn't care less. Lucas the spider puppy was purring happily as the snarky teenage girl gave the odd creature scratches under his...face.
"This little guy is adorable. What's his name?" she asked. Peter smiled.
"I call him Lucas." Lucas purred and waved a fuzzy leg at the girl. The spider thing's bright eyes blinked happily at the girl as well.
"Like the cartoon on Facebook?" Ned asked.
"Yeah." MJ smiled, which caused the two male teens gasp in mock shock.
"She's smiling!!!!!! We are all doomed!" they wailed in humorous fear. MJ rolled her eyes, Shuri laughed. As the small quartet of nerds entered the final classroom, MJ and Ned went to their seats, and Shuri, of course, stayed near her romantic interest. Flash were near the back of the room, mocking Peter and Shuri. Lucas was hissing at the boy, making the group of friends chuckle and giggle.
The teacher, who was usually known as Mr. Williams, strolled in, paused at the sight of the princess, but continued on.
"Okay, before we continue with today's lesson, I have a quick announcement." The class murmured and focused on the adult. Mr. Williams smirked.
"So, I was able to get us a tour at....Stark Industries! We go on Friday." The class erupted in glee. Peter groaned. Shuri laughed.
