"Or undressed, which is my favorite." A beat. "You are, however you choose to dress yourself- or not- perfect in my eyes, always."
If pressed, Thor would admit to parading Tony around a little. Possibly to gauge interest, possibly to prove to Tony that he matters to him dearly. Mostly? On Midgard what he shares with Tony is private. For them and them alone; and he understands. Invasive as Midgardian news-mongers are, they'd never have a moment's respite. But on Asgard...
Perhaps he ought to have asked before being so open an overt about his affections, but he wants somewhere to show that he is Tony's, and Tony is his, and have Tony watch people alight with envy and amazement both. There is no sordid history here as there would be on Midgard, and what there that could cross over? Wouldn't garner disrespect or shame from the people of Thor's golden city. This is a fresh opportunity for Tony to be accepted without hesitation, without scorn, and without condescension. A warrior, scholar, and smith of Midgard, Prince in his own right?
Thor wants, more than anything, for Tony to see and realize that here and in Thor's heart? They are equal. That he is worthy.
But their time together has been short yet, and Tony a lifetime of thinking to the contrary to wade through. Thor cannot change what has happened to cause this, but he can give Tony one realm in the nine that see him as he is and does as much as Thor to help him see it as well. Hence: the royal treatment. Spoiling him as much as possible with knowledge, with gifts, with attention.
And food. The first feast may or may not have the Asgardian equivalent of burger king cheeseburgers. Thor will admit to nothing as he guides them through the long paths to the centralmost tower, swinging off Ysra with a huff and offering Tony his hands. "I've told them of your preferences, size, and coloring, feel free to offer your thoughts and opinions to every sketch they show you- they haven't had someone discerning to fuss over in centuries."
It would be fussing, Thor opting for practical leather and armor more often than not, Loki particular to the point of being a menace- without lady Frigga to dress? They haven't had any real opportunity for innovation in quite some time.
[ Yes? Yes. Perfect! All this and more for Thor's intended boyfriend. ]
short, smart brunettes that don't take him seriously at all and humble him- that's the type.
