The last plates of breakfast were being withdrawn from the table when King Paul started talking, wanting to update his children on the news their castle was going to get prepared for that same day. Stretching his hand to take the one of Queen Darlene, he cleared his throat as his daughter and son were sharing their plans for the day with each other.

“We received an urgent letter written from the Kingdom of Asgard last evening,” he started, soon getting the attention of the youngest in the room. “It appears that Lady Darcy is traveling to Manhattan Land, and in her journey she wishes to make a stop at our castle. We will host a dinner for our guest, and I trust you both will behave by showing the values our family has been keeping for generations.”

Princess Sarah’s face lit up at the name of the other young woman, and the Prince could not help but show a tiny smile as he knew the true meaning of that reaction.

“As I know you two are good friends,” the King continued, “I believe it will be suitable to settle her in your chamber, as I wouldn’t want her to feel un-welcomed by having one of the guest rooms, since they are at the other wing of the castle.”

“Father, we will make sure she feels at home,” Princess Sarah reassured, even if her father did not have a doubt about that being their performance.

“Is she traveling alone, father?” Prince Samuel asked, earning a questioning raised eyebrow from his mother, who then landed eyes on the princess.

“The letter spoke about her bodyguard as well,” the king continued, strange to the exchange, “Thor from the ancient Odin Dynasty. I believe he was the Lady’s personal guard in previous visits, so he will not want to leave her side. It is expected of you, son, to offer him accommodation in your chambers, since it is placed next to your sister’s.”

Prince Sam nodded in agreement, not wanting to seem too excited about their future visit as his sister gave him a knowing look from the other side of the table.

“You can go now to have your classes of the day, my dears,” Queen Darlene let them go before going back to discuss with her husband what arrangements they would have to make for the Lady’s driver and carriage.

Lady Darcy tried to hold her excitement as she knew they had entered the lands of their allies, where they would spend a night with a family she had known since she was a child. Thor was working on her hair to pass the time, having finished a second braid that he linked to the first one with a red ribbon, over the rest of Darcy’s long hair, at the level of her neck.

“I believe Princess Sarah will be eager to see you,” he commented, knowing the depths of her protégée’s feelings for the woman as they had been raised as equals before he had become part of the royal guard.

“I will adventure myself to say the same about the prince,” Darcy responded. She was not unaware, either, of the glances the men had exchanged in other events in which they had coincided. “We have not encountered them in a long time. I believe we will have time to catch up with our dear friends.”

Thor smiled in silence.

As they had been promised by their driver, they arrived at the castle when the sun was leaving for the night. While some of their luggage was brought up upstairs, Lady Darcy and her guard were welcomed by the King and Queen in a hall briefly before heading to one of the dining rooms, where they were double- welcomed as well by their long-distance friends and a display of local products.

They had dinner while chattering about how things were going on in Asgard and summarizing what their trip to Manhattan was for. The King offered them accommodation for their way back the following month, and the Lady was pleased to accept such a generous offer.

When food was run low they moved onto other entertainments to a larger hall. The Queen delighted them with some songs, filling the room with glee as Prince Sam asked Lady Darcy for a dance. Then, at the first sign of tiredness from the Lady, Princess Sarah excused all of them for the night and after wishing their parents to have a peaceful night, they led their visitors to the part of the castle where their chambers awaited with the promise of a comforting night among loved ones.

Having passed the corner where the last guard stood, the princess and Lady Darcy linked hands as the prince backed off to walk at the level of the bodyguard, their fingers brushing as their hands got closer with every step.

“We can set up the fireplace and sleep in front of it,” Sarah was telling her beloved as they planned how to spend the little time they would have together. “Oh, and I loved your braids!”

Lady Darcy had a smile that almost could not fit her face, and soon the pair parted ways.

Prince Sam led Thor to a chamber that was not strange to the bodyguard and out to the balcony, where they could finally speak; a place to return to their shared memories of passionate moments from past encounters.

“I believe my raven found its way into delivering my letter,” Thor stated.

“He did,” Samuel smiled, remembering Thor’s words in his later letter. “You trained him well. I hope mine got to you as well.”

“It did,” Thor replied, taking one of his hands. “I also wish you liked my gift, though I am aware you are accustomed to higher accessories.” They locked eyes on the bracelet Thor had made for the prince, one that now he wore proudly every day.

“Having with me a piece of you, it means everything,” Samuel shared before lamenting “I am sad I do not have anything from me to give you, as I wish this would be reciprocated. I can only offer you this night, my dear.”

“Being able to hold you, to kiss you, is enough of a gift,” Thor confessed to him and the night sky only, brushing a thumb over his beloved’s hand.

According to FRIDAY, it was the hottest day of the year by a landslide. You were wearing a pair of your thinnest shorts as well as a tank top but you were still too hot, even with the air con blasting through your rooms, it wasn’t enough to keep you cool.

“Ah, my love.” Thor’s voice boomed through your bedroom before he sauntered over to you out on the balcony, throwing himself onto you in a hot, humid bear hug.

“Thor!” You groaned, arching your back to get away from his warmth, the warmth that you usually loved. “Honey, as much as I love you and your hugs… today will not be the day where I accept or enjoy them until it is winter again and I can’t feel my arms and legs.

“My apologies, Y/N.” He said, pulling away from the unwanted hug. “I think my very own drink concoction will help cool you down.”

“Anything will help in this heat. I’ll try anything to get cool again.” You whined, your feet dragging behind you as you followed Thor through the compound.

When you got to the kitchen, sweat was already beading on your forehead and rolling down your temple, making you groan. Thor sped ahead, picking up a plastic cup but not giving it to you immediately but walking out into the garden where the rest of the team was, relaxing and keeping cool in the pool.

Finally, Thor stopped his motions and gave you the cup, when you look inside you were disappointed. “It’s just water with ice cubes.”

“Drink it.” Was all he said, you caught a smile on his face before he turned away. What the hell was he hiding?

Squinting your eyes, you took a sip of the drink, you were right, “it’s still just water and ice. Thor what the hell?”

“Oh, someone must have switched the cups. I need to start a conquest to find out which one of those mortals did it.”

Rolling your eyes, you took another sip of your drink not caring whether or not it was from Asgard or the high tech two in the freezer on Midgard.

Thor didn’t give you any time to think before he asked you whether you had any valuables in your pockets but he was already on the move to the pool with you in his arms.

“Thor! No! God dammit, If you throw me in I’ll kill you!” You bellowed, throwing down your cup like a petulant child, hitting at his back when he threw you over his shoulder.

“You can try but it is highly unlikely that you will succeed.” He chuckled, walking to the edge of the pool and putting you down but not quite on the floor before he tossed your flailing limbs into the pool below.

Shivering when you resurfaced, you shot daggers at the God of thunder, your lip quivering from the shock of the cold water. “Why would you do that?! I mean it feels good- great actually but I’m fully clothed!”

“You wanted to cool down, yes?” Thor asked, perplexed. He was only doing what you had not explicitly asked.

“Yes but when I got in a bathing suit! I guess I’ll just have to survive with these clothes for now so how about you join me?”

Thor had no problem jumping into the pool with you, a huge splash in his cannonball’s wake. There was a moment when you slapped at his chest but he was right, there was no way you would even get close to killing him. Not that you would want to anyway.

“My heart tells me to kiss you. My head tells me to walk away.” You say as he swims towards you, you couldn’t help but giggle at him and the faces that he had pulled at you. How you hadn’t thought about jumping in the pool before was beyond you.

“Always one for the dramatics, I see.” He wrapped his arms around you and smiled before he dipped his head low to press his lips to yours in a soft kiss. You only pulled away to laugh when you heard Natasha say that she would kill anyone that even thought about throwing her in the pool the way Thor had done to you. In an instant, Clint, Steve and even Tony backed away with their hands up in the air, moving to the farthest corner away from the Russian assassin, looking over their shoulder to ensure that they were at a safe distance.

“Do you remember the first time we met?”

Thor laughed, tightening his hold on me.

“Of course I do. You hated me.”

I gasped, turning in his arms, hitting his chest.

“I did not! I just didn’t want to be forced to marry someone I didn’t know!”

He grinned, pinching my side.

“Which in turn made you hate me.”

“I did not hate you!”

“You did too!”

“I did not!”

⍟⃝⎊‎‎⧗‎✇ϟ✪‎✵⍟⃝⎊‎‎⧗‎✇ϟ✪‎✵⍟⃝⎊‎‎⧗‎✇ϟ✪‎✵

“My lady.”

I curtsied as he bowed, smiling up at him.

“My prince.”

He held his hand out, and I grabbed it, everyone cheering as we walked through the curtain. I smiled, nodding at the people my mom told me to. Thor led me to the front of the room where our parents were, my mom sitting to the left of his mother. We both bowed in front of them, Odin nodding at us as we stood back up, Thor leading me to his father’s left side, two chairs left empty beside him, his brother sitting at the end. I smiled at Loki as I sat down, Thor sitting on my left side. The party started once Thor sat down, the music playing louder as laugher and yelling filled the hall. Thor had gotten up to join his friends, and my mother glared at me as I huffed.

“Not enjoying your party?”

I turned towards Loki, seeing Thor out of the corner of my eye.

“Of course I am.”

Loki grinned, shaking his head.

“No you’re not. Tell me, do you want to marry my brother?” “I don’t even know him.”

“Then get to know him.”

Loki got up, moving to stand in front of me, holding his hand out.

“May I have this dance?”

“Uh-” Loki grinned, shaking his hand.

“It is just a dance.”

I nodded, grabbing his hand. He helped me stand, holding my hand up as we walked to the middle of the room, Loki placing my hand on his shoulder as he held my other, placing his hand on my waist as we started to move around the room.

“My brother has his moments, but he is a good man.”

“He has barely spoken to me.”

“Have you spoken to him?”

“I have.” Loki grinned, tilting his head to the side.

“More than what your mother had you memorize?” “How did you-” “I have my ways. I know you are against this marriage but he is not that bad, once you get to know him at least.”

I laughed, shaking my head.

“You’re a good brother Loki.” He grinned, shaking his head.

“Don’t tell everyone.”

“Brother, may I steal Lady Y/N from you?”

We stopped dancing, Thor taking my hand from Loki, Loki grinning as he walked back towards the front.

“Would you like to walk with me?” I nodded, looking up at Thor.

“I’d love to.”

“The gardens are my favorite place to visit.” “I can see why, these flowers, they’re beautiful.”

“I’m sorry you’re being forced to marry me.” I turned, looking up at Thor.

“What?” He smiled, picking one of the flowers.

“I know you do not wish to be married, but I am glad it’s you.” “Me?”

He nodded, moving closer to me.

“I picked you personally.” “Why?” “We’ve met before, when we were little.” I shook my head, sighing.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t remember.” He smiled, shaking his head.

“I didn’t believe you did after the cold shoulder you gave me earlier.”

I stopped, turning to look at him.

“I’m, sorry.” “Don’t be. I understand. It’s reasonable as to why you don’t remember.”

He came up beside me, pushing my hair to the side.

“This scar, you got it from an accident.” I nodded, looking up at him.

“I know that.”

He smiled, shaking his head.

“You got that scar because you were riding with me and my brother.” “Loki?” He nodded, a soft smile on his face.

“Yes, we were all riding together and my brother tried to prank me but it backfired. Your horse got spooked and it threw you. You hit your head on a rock and when you woke, you didn’t remember us so your mom decided it was time to go back to your home. We never saw you after that.”

“I wish I could remember.”

Thor shrugged, placing the flower behind my ear.

“We could make new memories, if you’re willing.”

I smiled, grabbing his hand.” “I’d love to.”

⍟⃝⎊‎‎⧗‎✇ϟ✪‎✵⍟⃝⎊‎‎⧗‎✇ϟ✪‎✵⍟⃝⎊‎‎⧗‎✇ϟ✪‎✵

I turned to face Thor, smiling up at him as he grabbed my hands.

“Father, smith, warrior.” “Mother, maiden, crone, stranger.” “I am hers.” “And he is mine. From this day-” “Until the end of my days.”

Odin nodded as he spoke, his voice echoing throughout the hall.

“Let it be known that Y/N of House Y/N and Thor of the House Odinson are one heart, one flesh, one soul. Cursed be he who would seek to tear them asunder.”

Thor pulled me to him, leaning down and kissing me as everyone cheered. We were ushered out of the room before we were pulled from each other, the handmaid's my mother had brought waiting for me and helping me out of my dress. I didn’t see Thor again until the gala.” ⍟⃝⎊‎‎⧗‎✇ϟ✪‎✵⍟⃝⎊‎‎⧗‎✇ϟ✪‎✵⍟⃝⎊‎‎⧗‎✇ϟ✪‎✵

I sighed, slumping in my chair.

“Red always did look good on you”

I perked up, turning around.

“You’re here!” Thor laughed, walking around my chair, leaning down and kissing me.

“Did you think I wouldn’t show?”

I shrugged, grabbing Thor’s hand as he pulled me up, walking us to the middle of the room, placing his hand on my waist.

“I haven’t seen you for an hour, I was beginning to think you wouldn’t show.” Thor laughed, shaking his head as he spun me around. “I’ll always come back to you.”

⍟⃝⎊‎‎⧗‎✇ϟ✪‎✵⍟⃝⎊‎‎⧗‎✇ϟ✪‎✵⍟⃝⎊‎‎⧗‎✇ϟ✪‎✵

“Ok, so you didn’t hate, hate me.” “I didn’t hate you period! I just didn’t want to get married to a stranger!” “Yes, but we weren’t strangers!” I gasped as Thor grinned, running his hands up my sides.

“I didn’t know!”

“Ah, yes, the ole’ I lost my memory speal!” I huffed, climbing on top of Thor.

“You’re being unfair.” Thor looked up at me, his hands coming to rest on top of my thighs.

“I believe you’re the one being unfair.” I nodded, pushing my hair out of my face.”

“Yes and that is why I have to tell you something.” Thor tilted his head, squeezing my hip.

“Is something wrong?” “No, no it’s something good, I hope.” “What is it?” I grabbed Thor’s hand, moving it to my stomach. His face scrunched up in confusion before he gasped, his eyes lightening as he smiled.

“You’re pregnant?”

I smiled, nodding.

“Yes, you’re going to be a father.”

Thor laughed, sitting up and kissing me, flipping us so he was on top.

“I love you.”

I laughed, grabbing Thor’s hands and twiddling with his fingers as he kissed me.

“I love you too.” He grinned, moving down the bed and laying his head on my stomach.

“Uh, Thor? What’re you doing?” “I’m listening.” “For what?”

“For the little one! Now shush!” I laughed, running my fingers through his hair.

“It’s to early, you won’t be able to hear anything for sometime.” He glared up at me, squinting his eyes.

“And?”

I laughed as he laid back down, running his hand over my stomach.

“Thank you.”

I smiled, shaking my head.

“I love you.”

“Love you too now shush.”
