New Room
Thor’s POV
Thor felt his frustration at Fury growing as he continuously didn’t listen to his warnings. Sure the chance of Loki escaping was slim but still, it was possible.
He was broken from his train of thought as Hazel ran into him with a light oomph.
“Oh shit, sorry.” She looked frazzled and Thor suddenly felt defensive. The only other person in the room with her had been Fury and he knew that Fury would have a few choice words with Hazel.
“What did he say to you?” His words came out a little too direct but Hazel didn’t seem to mind. However, the second she responded Thor knew something was wrong.
“Nothing.” Her response was far to quick and Thor could hear a waver in her answer but he decided not to act upon it. He didn’t want to upset her. She didn’t say anything else after that so Thor decided to break the silence. He pulled a sheet of folded paper out of his pocket and gave it to Hazel which he noticed was still wearing his shirt.
“Stark gave me this.” Thor once again knew that his words came out too direct. At least explain to the lady what it is.
“What is this?”
See, you should’ve told her what it was first!
“The top number is your room.” Thor began, pointing at the top row signifying the floor number and room. “And the bottom is the room code.” Hazel mouth spread into a big smile. She really is more beautiful when she smiles. Thor couldn’t help but grin in response.
“Wow.” Hazel seemed lost for words. “I don’t know how to thank you!” Thor felt awkward as she leaned in for a hug. Stop being a fool and hug her back! Thor internally screamed to himself. He wrapped his arms around her muscular yet small body, admiring every curve he felt. After a few seconds she let go although Thor wished they could’ve held on a little longer.
“Don’t thank me, thank Stark.” Thor was being honest. This wasn’t his tower, it was Tony’s. “Come, I’ll show you the way.” Thor wanted to hook her arm and lead her up to her room which was just down the hall from his from his but decided against it. He didn’t know if his feelings were being reciprocated. Thor instead opted for showing her the way through gestures.
“Why thank you, Lord Thor.” Her words were followed by an exaggerated curtsey which they both laughed at. He loved it when she called him Lord Thor but he would never admit it.

Hazel’s POV
During the short elevator ride Hazel cracked jokes with Thor. They were feeling much more comfortable around each other which allowed them to have normal conversations, or in their case, a never-ending stream in jokes. Thor especially enjoyed her puns which always resulted in loud bellows of laughter. He also made some jokes that he had learnt on earth but he often forgot the punchline and they were laughing more about the times it took for him to get the joke correct than the actual thing.
“How do you get an elephant out of the trunk?” Thor asked as they walked down the hallway that Hazel recognized as were Thor’s room was.
“I think you mean how do you get an elephant out of a car and the trunk is the answer.” Hazel was breathless from previous laughter.
“Oh no.” Thor chuckled again. Nice to see he has a good sense of humor.
Thor stopped a few rooms away from his. Hazel almost ran into him for the second time that day but quickly stopped herself.
“This is your room.” Thor gestured to the door in front of him. Hazel looked down at the sheet of paper in her hand and walked over to the door. A keypad sat underneath the door handle.
“8-3-6-1-3-0-2-5” Hazel began pressing the buttons as she whispered them under her breath. The door beeped once and a little green light illuminated above the keypad. Hazel tried the door handle and it turned easily. She pushed the door open into the dark room. Before stepping in she turned to Thor.
“Thank you for everything.” She began. Hazel knew that Thor would say something along the lines of how she shouldn’t be thanking him so she cut him off with a kiss. She had to stand on her toes to reach his soft, warm lips for what felt like an eternity but probably was only a second or two. Hazel pulled away but before either one could respond to what just happened she stepped further back into the room and shut the door.
She leaned into it, staring into the darkness before letting her face fall into her hands. What the hell did I just do?
