Thanos and Me [Thanos × OC]

Chapter 12: Butterflies

"Akki." I turned around and I could see he was starting to walk closer towards me. He took big steps and just a few seconds, he was now just few steps away from me.

"Thanos." I called out his name but it's more in a greet kind of way. I couldn't bare to see his face and so I turned my gaze away to the floor. I then heard his footsteps coming in closer to the point where I saw his feet next to mine.

He touched my chin and made me look at him, he grazed my cheek. His eyes never leaving mine but I followed how his hand was touching my right cheek and then pushed my hair out of face and tucked it in my ear.

I grabbed his hand and put it down. I sighed and returned my gaze back at him.

"What did you want to talk about?" I asked him seriously and he looked at me with a hint of troubled eyes. He opened his mouth but couldn't find the words to tell me. I guess this is it. Where he will say what's wrong with me, why am I avoiding him, and tell him that I have feelings for him this past weeks so that's why I've been avoiding him and he tells me he doesn't feel the same way because he is the almighty Thanos and I'll just shrugged off his answer then walk away and then go to planet Xuvillon to drink my broken hearted away. To drink all my troubles away.

And then I'll probably start to avoid him even more for breaking my heart and it will get awkward between the two of and maybe I'll ran away, far from this place to start a new life and possibly never meet someone who I will like for the next few decades.

Why did I even ate that stupid grape? The fruit that grants immortal life? And now, I'm stuck with a broken heart? Why did I even have feelings for the purple plump.

"I noticed you have been steering clear of me." He finally spoke. Ah, here it comes. I glanced away from his eyes.

"Yes, I have been avoiding you." I said and returned back my gaze at him and stood my ground. I breathed in for a few times first before telling him the truth.

"Thanos. I wanted to tell you about this for a long time now. I've thought about it at first for not telling you but Gamora said I should." I could feel my heart beat faster and breathing was a bit heavy now. He was only listening to me.

"So when I was about to tell you, I got interrupted by Maw. I decided not to tell you and have been avoiding you this past few weeks. Because I knew I couldn't stand the pain of being rejected." Here goes nothing. I've already gotten this far by telling him, I can't stop now.

"After deciding not to tell you, I walked away that day and Maw followed me. He told me that he knows something was going on and-" I stopped talking when I heard footsteps closing in towards us. A hard growl escaped from Thanos's.

Somehow, whenever I'm ready to tell Thanos my feelings, I always get interrupted. Maybe, this is a sign that I shouldn't tell Thanos. It's not the right time.

"My lord. I bring you news." Someone called out to him and I turned around to see it was one of the black order. His name is Corvus. Tall guy, in love with this another tall girl just looks like him, Proxima Midnight.

I returned my gaze back to Thanos, who is now filled with rage. My eyes was wide-eyed now, his stare was so intense, it made me stood straight and it made me trembled with fear. I just remembered that Thanos is the most powerful being in the universe, he can kill me with just his one hand wrapped around my neck. It amazes that he hadn't killed me yet for being rude towards him.

His stare at Corvus, I could feel that Thanos made him leave and Corvus's footsteps were trembling. So, I wasn't the only one who was scared.

"What were you saying, little one?" He asked with a strict tone and it took me a moments before answering.
