"Shouldn't I be the one trying to protect you, traditionally?" Thor joked, trying to lighten the mood as he felt a familiar tension creep into his chest. Diana bit her lip, like she was holding something back. Or maybe she was just trying to be alluring? It didn't matter what her intention. It worked. He couldn't look away. "But I do feel better when in your presence as well. Like there's a light to get through the dark, at times. If either of us can sleep for even a whole, I will be pleased with the outcome."
His feet kicked idly in the water as he spoke, leg accidentally brushing against hers at one point with how close they were together. As if to punctuate his words, Thor found that if he listened and tried to focus on it, his heart betrayed his nervousness, beating faster than normal, but still slower than before he'd proposed the idea. He was calming, slowly, knowing she meant what she said.
