Stay
Thor’s POV
Thor had been sleeping when a sudden feeling of dread washed over him. He sat straight up in his bed, searching the room for any sign of distress but it was quite. However, something still felt deeply wrong.
Hazel. Thor thought. He didn’t know how or why but her name popped into his mijd along with a feeling of dread.
“JARVIS, where is Hazel?” Thor asked to the empty room.
“In the basement, sir.” The AI responded from a hidden speaker.
“Loki.” He muttered under his breath.
Thor grabbed a shirt and pulled it over his bare chest. His legs were covered by a pair of grey sweat pants. Before leaving the room he pulled on a pair of boots and ran to the the elevator.
Once he reached the pair of doors he basically slammed on the button. After what felt like an eternity the doors slid open. Thor jumped inside and jammed the basement button. The protective instinct he had felt when they first met was returning.
Why was she in the basement? Thor was thinking to himself. The elevator glided down into the lower levels of Stark Tower until they slid open to reveal Loki’s glass prison and a shivering girl.
“Hazel!” Thor shouted, running down the walkway to her curled up body.
Thor dropped down to his knees, hovering over Hazel’s trembling form. She looked up at him with tear rimmed eyes.
“What did you do?” Thor shouted at Loki. He didn’t respond. “Answer me!”
“I was just trying to have a conversation.” Loki grinned wickedly before walking back towards the sofa in the center of the glass box. Thor wanted to rip his throat out right then and right there but he redirected his attention to Hazel. Her eyes wear glazed over not only by tears but by something else.
“Hazel, are you okay?” He didn’t try to hide the concern in his voice. Loki scoffed.
“I’m fine.” She responded a few seconds later. Thor knew she was lying but he didn’t want to pry. Thor picked up her weakened body. She rolled into his chest, breathing irregularly. Thor couldn’t help but relish the feeling of their closeness.
“Still protecting the filth I see.” Loki snarled as Thor walked down the metal walkway towards the elevator. It was still wide open when he stepped into the box.
Turning back to his brother, it was Thor’s time to be brutal.
“This will seem like heaven compared to were I’m dumping you soon, brother.” Hazel shivered in his arms as the doors closed. Loki had no chance to respond with a witty comment before they were zooming back up to the infirmary.
“Don’t leave me.” Hazel muttered. Thor barely heard what she said but he understood.
“You can sleep in my room tonight.” He said without thinking. He mentally slapped himself. She’d never agree to that.
“That’s sounds great.” She murmured again, nuzzling closer to his chest. Thor felt a warmth blossom where her head met his body. She was strong yet fragile at the same time. Everything in him wanted to keep her safe, especially from his brother. Thor frowned in disgust at the thought of Loki and was only calmed by the thought of him being locked away in some hellhole for the rest of eternity.
The elevator doors opened to the infirmary but Thor let them close. He pressed the button which lead to his floor all while still holding Hazel in his arms.
After reaching his floor he walked past a few closed doors which belonged to other Avengers. The one furthest down the hallway was his. He quickly pressed in the pin code to the door, taking care not to disturb Hazel. Her eyes were closed so he was pretty sure she was asleep.
They entered the room and Thor kicked off his boots. He placed Hazel on his messy bed before pulling the sheets around her. He looked down at her dozing face. It was so peaceful and content.
Thor sighed and began to walk towards the small couch he had on the other side of his room but a small hand grabbed his wrist. The fingers didn’t go all the way around his wrist as they were too short but they were close.
“Stay.” Hazel muttered. She was barely awake as her hand tried to pull Thor to the bed. “Please.”
Thor sighed again but this time it was for content. He walked to the other side of the bed were her half bare back was facing him. He pulled the sheets beck and got in the bed. He pulled the sheets back down over the two of them.
Hazel sighed happily as she drifted off to sleep caressed against Thor’s body. Thor ran his fingers through her shoulder length hair before eventually drifting off as well.
