My Lady- Thor Odinson x Female!Reader

Information for Context: In Asgard, you are a lady of the court. This is like an origin story for you and Thor. Enjoy!

***********************************************************************************************

"My Lady, may I have this dance?"

Under the watchful gaze of AllFather, nobles, lords, and ladies gracefully danced across the large ballroom floor. Thor, who had been stealing glances of you all evening, finally decided to offer his hand to you for a dance. 

The blond prince towered above you, his smile as bright as the sun as you looked up to him. His deep ocean blue eyes were bright, hopeful that you would accept his request. With a smile of your own, you slipped your (much smaller) hand into his.

"You may," you replied with a nod, following his lead towards the center of the dance floor.

The couples that had originally been on the floor parted ways, leaving the space open for just you and Thor. A ring of nobles formed at the edges as they watched. AllFather watched from his throne above the room, shifting with amusement at his son's choice of a lady. However, he did not protest. 

Thor bowed as the music began, and you curtsied in response. He offered his hand, and once you took it, he pulled you into him to lead you through a traditional Asgardian waltz. The guests at the edges of the floor quietly conversed as they watched. You couldn't help overhearing a handful of jealous ladies and their friends whispering about Thor, but you didn't mind or care. The prince in your grasp couldn't take his eyes off of you, and by the time the music had ended, he twirled you and brought you back into his frame.

"My greatest thanks, My Lady," Thor smiled, bringing your hand up to his lips, "you are a wonderful dance partner," he kissed your knuckles.

You blushed, "The pleasure was all mine."

Thor looped your arm through his and began taking you towards Odin's throne.

"I would like to introduce you to my Mother and Father," he explained, stopping at the bottom of the staircase that led to the thrones, "if that is alright with you."

"I would be honored," you said, smoothing your skirt before following Thor up the stairs.

***********************************************************************************************

You grew tired as the night passed on. Occasionally, Thor would leave your side to get a drink or some food from one of the tables against the walls of the ballroom, but he would always watch to make sure no one bothered you. He noticed your heavy eyes, and leaned down to whisper in your ear, "Are you tired, My Lady? I can escort you to you room, if you wish."

You quickly covered your mouth with your hand as you yawned, "That would be greatly appreciated, Your Highness," you fluttered your eyes as you looked to him, "but I do not want to tear you away from your guests and cause you trouble."

"Nonsense," Thor stood, "my father can learn to be patient for a moment."

You chuckled and stood, taking his arm and following out of the ballroom.

***********************************************************************************************

You found yourself sitting on your bed conversing with the Prince of Asgard for hours. It was unintentional, but he was so easy to talk to him, and you knew he was truly listening to every word you said. He was warm and welcoming, a trait that he had clearly inherited from AllMother. Your eyes widened when you glanced to your window and saw nothing but darkness in the sky and guests exiting the palace on the ground floor.

"Please forgive me Your Majesty," you rushed, "I did not mean to keep you this long."

Thor laughed, "Believe me, I much rather prefer talking to you over conversing with the nobles of Asgard any time," he gingerly reached up and tucked a stray strand of hair back into place, "however you do seem tired. Perhaps we could rendezvous for breakfast in the morning?"

You nodded and leaned your cheek into his warm hand, "I would like that," you pulled yourself away, instantly feeling your heart drop at the sight of him nervously pulling his hand back, "Um," you straightened your spine and tried to fight back the growing warmth on your face, "allow me to show out."

Thor stood, and you both laughed when your bed creaked from the weight being lifted off of it. He followed you to your chamber door, reached around you, and opened the door for himself. He crossed the threshold into the hallway and paused. You stood in the doorway, taking in the sight of him in the warm yellow light.

"This was one of the best nights I have ever experienced," the prince smiled, his eyes crinkling in doing so, "I thank you for your company."

"I should be the one thanking you," you insisted, "you escorted me here, and you are a lovely man," you complimented, "your mother raised you well."

Thor chuckled with a nod, blinking before his face suddenly dropped.

"If I may," he stepped closer to you and reached up to cup your cheek, "do I have your permission to kiss you?"

You considered his offer, placing your hand on top of his and bringing it down. Once your fingers had interlaced, you glanced to your hands, and back up to him.

"Yes, I give you my permission."

With that, Thor leaned down to press a soft kiss to your lips. The gentleness in his touch took you aback, seeing as Thor was a big and strong warrior that typically manhandled his companions and enemies. You broke away first and cleared your throat, smiling at the familiar flutter in your heart, "Shall I see you in the morning? For breakfast?"

"Yes," Thor's thumb rubbed circles into your hand, "you shall," he kissed your hand, "goodnight My Lady."

You squeezed his hand and let him go, stepping back to close your door with a smile, "Goodnight Thor."
