Eye of the Storm (Marvel Fanfic)

Chapter Seven

You wake up the following morning to find Thor in the kitchen making pancakes for breakfast.

Y/N: "Erm....morning?"

Thor: "Morning! How did you sleep?"

He responds with a huge grin on his face.

Y/N laughs awkwardly: "Yeah... pretty good....I didn't even know I had pancake mix?"

Thor: "You don't, I made the batter from scratch."

Y/N: "Wait, what?"

Thor scoffs: "It's really not that difficult, Y/N - do you not cook at all?"

Y/N: "No."

Thor: "What? Never?"

Y/N: "Yeah, no, I use my oven for storage."

Thor: "How do you eat?"

Y/N: "Take out, packets, ready meals, toast, chips - that kind of stuff."

Thor looks horrified.

Thor: "Ok, well, I'm going to cook you some real meals today, and you can freeze them and just heat them up later. You need some proper protein in your body."

You smirk: "I feel like I got plenty of protein last night, to be honest."

Thor shoots you a half grin: "...a different kind of protein, princess."

Y/N: "Ahhh, a different kind of protein, gotcha!" You wink at him, and he just shakes his head, smiling to himself as he flips the pancakes.

You sit down for breakfast.

Y/N: "So, what do you want to do today?"

Surprised by your question, Thor answers: "Honestly, I thought you'd want rid of me as soon as possible. I was going to cook for you, get it all packed up, and then get out of your hair."

Y/N: "Why?"

Thor: "You said you wanted to be left alone? Is that not....still the case?"

Y/N: "Not particularly. I figured we could go see a movie or something, maybe grab some food later on and then pick up where we left off last night?"

Thor is shocked. He genuinely thought you would've woken up today, not exactly regretting it, because it was after all, fucking phenomenal.....but certainly thinking better of doing it again.

Plus you were adamant you wanted to be left in peace, they'd all been ignoring your wishes because they were worried about you, but after the intensity of last night, he didn't want to overstay his welcome.

Thor: "Are you sure you want a repeat of last night? It wasn't just a one time thing?"

Y/N: "Fuck yes I want a repeat! I'm not done with you yet Odinson! Now I know what you can do, I have many, many more things I want us to try, and it's going to take a hell of a lot longer that one night. So, get comfy because this could take a while."

Thor grins from ear to ear: "Yes ma'am."

Later.

You settle down to watch the movie and scooch up close to Thor - the same way you always do when you go to the movies together. The AC is always on full blast, and you never remember to bring a blanket.

Usually, you huddle up to Thor, stealing his body heat as he wraps one of his massive arms around his friend, while the other handles the popcorn.

This time, though, it feels off. You can't put your finger on it, but there's a knot in your stomach that you can't account for. You've done this a 1000 times before.....why does it feel so different now?

You can't shake it. You keep trying to get comfy, squirming about, but it's no use - this feels way too intimate. Which is ludicrous to think after everything that happened less than 24 hours ago....but it does, and you're worried he'll get the wrong idea. So, you immediately unravel yourself and sit firmly back in your own seat.

Thor notices and whispers: "Are you ok?"

Y/N: "Yeah, of course - just trying to get comfy, you know."

You respond awkardly.

Thor: "Ok, you're not cold? You don't want to get snuggled in?"

Y/N: "Nah, it's ok, I'm good, thank you. Ooh, the movie's starting.... ssshhh."

You answer, abruptly ending the conversation.

Thor gives you a bemused look, you're acting very strangely - but after the week you've had, it's not surprising. He decides to let it go.
