Broken Window (Thor x reader)

(Based on a Tumblr prompt from: https://prompts-to-inspire.tumblr.com/post/140404758448/smashed) 

You were engrossed in your book when you heard it. A faint clink. You furrowed your brows in confusion and listened. When you didn't hear it again, you shrugged and went back to your book. You read for a few more minutes before you heard it again. You let out a sigh, but didn't look up from your reading. You figured it was probably a bird or something.

Suddenly, there was a loud CRASH and the window broke. You jumped almost a foot in the air. "What the-" You got up and walked over to the window, being careful not to step on the shards of glass. You poked your head out of the window to see a rather sheepish looking Thor standing on the ground below the window. "Thor? What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to see you, Y/N." You arched a brow. "So you decided to break my window?" Thor shrugged. "I thought I could get your attention by throwing pebbles at your window, but you did not appear. So, I threw a bigger rock." Sighing, you asked, "Why would you try and get my attention by throwing rocks?" Thor glanced up at you.

" Your family does not like me."You rolled your eyes, but knew it was true. Your parents really didn't care for Thor though you couldn't imagine why. He was sweet and kind, albeit a little loud. "My family isn't home, Thor. Go to the front door and I'll let you in." You left the window, avoiding the glass, and made your way downstairs to where your friend was waiting.

You opened the door and Thor pulled you to him in a bone-crushing hug. "Too tight, Thor. A little too tight," you breathed. Thor loosened his hold. "My apologies." You chuckled. "Come on in. You can help me clean up the mess you made." Thor nodded and followed you back up the stairs.

It only took a few minutes to get the glass cleaned up. "So, was there a particular reason you wanted to see me?" you asked him once the mess was clean. Thor shrugged. "I have only just returned from Asgard and I wished to spend time with my friend." You grinned at him. "Well then, why don't we go into the living room and watch a movie for a bit?" Thor agreed readily. Before you could leave your room, Thor had picked you up and carried you downstairs. "Thor!" you giggled, "Put me down!" He didn't listen until you made it to the living room, where he just plopped you down on the couch.

"Thor!" you cried through your laughter. Thor beamed at you before sitting down next to you. Thor stretched his arm across the back of the couch behind you and you leaned into him as if on instinct. It was always like this with him. He was so easy to get along with most of the time and you missed him when he was off in Asgard. Sighing happily, you picked a movie on Netflix and pressed play.

It didn't take long for the movie and Thor's comforting presence to lull you to sleep. Thor felt your weight on his arm and he chuckled softly. He kissed your temple and pulled you a little closer. He grabbed the blanket you kept on the back of the couch and covered you both. He let his own eyes close, ready for sleep to claim him. Here, Thor felt at peace. Here, he was away from all the stresses of Asgard and the Avengers. Here, he was content.
