Hanahaki Disease

Party's over

"Where I'm from...we had a war going on. Asgardians had a hatred for us because Odin thought we would overthrow Asgard and kill everyone. His people raided our homes and I've never seen my father so angry before.." I said.

"So it's story time right? Keep going." Tony said, leaning back into his chair.
I sighed.

"So basically...." I started.
****
As my father battled Odin somewhere else, I was rampaging threw a crowd of useless asgardian warriors.

There he stood.
Thor.

He stuck out his hand and his hammer returned to it.
Many of my people were on the ground in agony.

"Thor Odinson....a pleasure.." I mocked, curtsying in front of him.
"Your kind is cruel and deserves to be gone for many reasons..." he grunted.

"Such a dull and dimwitted creature you are....where's your brother?" I asked.
"He's somewhere you should know..." Thor grinned.

That's when I felt a snake coil and tighten my leg, slowly making its way to my waist, and then my neck.

"Loki" bared his fangs as me and but my neck.
I felt weak....

I fell onto my knees and I began to look pale.
The snake slithered next to thor and Loki transformed to himself.

I fell onto my side and looked up at them, in agony.
****
It felt like my skin was burning.
It was hot.
Everyone else fought while the two watched me slowly die.

I looked up at the blond.
It was either my blurry vision but I could've sworn he has remorse in his eyes.

I couldn't move afterwards. I was still and my breathing was slowing down.
"Any last words?" Loki asked.
"Black......" I croaked.

"That's it?" Loki asked, raising his eyebrow.

"Velvet....." I croaked, slowly grinning afterwards.

"NO, DON'T-!" Thor said.

"Inferno.." I smirked.
****
Everything was finished.
Done.
That's it.

I stood in front of him and sighed.
He was as badly bruised like me.
He looked away and saw his father motioning him to follow him.

And then he looked at me.
"I want a future where....I'm happy. Where there's a new adventure around the corner..."Thor smiled softly.

"You'd rather stay with a demon and have a shitty life than staying in a beautiful palace with people that admire you for being alive?" I asked.
"My life with you won't be bad...we'd have ups and downs, bad times all around, and yet....I'd still love you with all my heart. Promise?" He asked, holding up his pinky.

I took it with my pinky.
"You still owe me chocolate." He said.
"In your dreams thunder dork." I chuckled.
****
I jumped awake in a cold sweat.
My hand was clamped over my heart.
I was scared.

I looked at the sleeping man next to me and caressed his cheek.
"I had another nightmare....." I whispered.
He placed his hand on mine and showed me a soft smile.

"Nothing to worry about dear.....I'm here...." he whispered.
"I know....but-"
Thor sits up slowly and stretches.
He embraces me in a warm hug and smiles.
"I know you're scared and so am I. Well, hardly. Anyways....you have a team with you to help you when you're in danger. Isn't that amazing?" He asked.
I shrugged.
"I'll make a promise....I, Thor Odinson solemnly swear that I'll protect this woman who is ever so close to me. No matter what happens. No matter what dangers we face, I'll protect her." Thor smiled, holding his hand up.

"Thank you...." I sighed, laying my head on his arm.

The next day was a chill day for us.
We just sat around and did nothing most of the time.

"How's the most beautiful person in Midgard  doing...?" Thor asked, slowly wrapping his arms around my waist.
"I don't know....how are you doing?" I asked, looking at him.
He shook his head and smiled softly.
"Ever think how....we're gods living among normal, human people...? I find it strange and yet...endearing. Fascinating actually...." I said, taking a peak at the streets.
"I believe that everyone deserves to live a wonderful life....and if they die and come back....it's like a do over for them." Thor spoke.

"You're so wise....don't lose an eye." I chuckled, pecking at his cheek.
"Don't become tainted in evil.....but....I love someone that takes charge....way better than tony~." Thor chuckled, slowly letting go of me.

"What about me?" Tony had asked, leaning against the large 'doorway'.

"Just saying she'd make a good leader. You're talking about a commander in chief." Thor said, crossing his arms.
"It's fine. He's better anyways. The way he takes charge, cares for everyone, and is sweet at heart is really amazing." I said, looking back at Thor.

"May I ask you a question june...?" Thor asked.
"Better be about dinner...." I murmured, smiling afterwards.

"A king needs a queen....be mine forever?" He asked, getting on one knee.

"Y-You can't be serious...." I whispered.
He grabbed my hand.
"I'm series...." Thor smiled.
