Hey so I'm not sure if anyone's even gonna read this haha but just in case you do I had this playing on my mind ever since I saw the hilarious Thor Ragnarok promos 'Team Thor' and loved the idea of Thor finding a flat mate on earth and the fluff got me! This is just a tiny one shot I wanted to get out there ^_^
?
"Ellie are you here?" Thor called out in his usual booming voice eliciting a surprised squeak from Ellie.
"Yes I'm just getting changed!" She called back to him and he smiled at the sound of her voice.
"Would you like to watch a movie with me?" He called back through her door and he heard her shuffling around inside her room.
"Yeah that would be nice!" She shouted back. He heard more shuffling then her footsteps growing closer to him. "Maybe we could orde..." She began as she opened the door then yelped in surprise when she bumped against his rather solid form. "Oh!" She said her eyes slowly rising to meet his taking in every inch of his bare chest before finally resting on his toothy smile. She managed an awkward smile in response and mumbled an apology as she stumbled back slightly.
"It's quite alright. You were saying?" He asked leaning his arm out and resting a hand against the door frame. Her eyes were once again drawn to his muscles that rippled with every movement he made, his smile grew as he followed her gaze.
"Well I just-" she cleared her throat before continuing. "I thought that maybe we could order a take away." She took a deep breath as she finished and stepped forward ducking underneath his arm as she snuck past him into the living room.
"Yes! The uh- the kee-bob" he replied and she couldn't help but laugh at that.
"We can get kebab if you want." She said as she tucked her legs beneath her and curled into the sofa. "I think I'm going to order it this time if that's alright? Last time you didn't order any salad, just meat." She commented with a smile and he gave an awkward smile in return.
"Apologies Ellie, I have much to learn it seems." He said and she turned to him in surprise.
"Oh it's fine you didn't know. Please don't apologise." She replied abashedly and he gave a nod in response. "Do you want to choose a film?" she asked and he smiled at her before nodding again and picking up the remote control. After a little while he settled on a romance, one they had neither of them seen before. His intentions were of course to learn, the manner of humans and how they dealt with attraction. Thor wasn't usually a man who cared if he got things wrong, if he said something he shouldn't have, if he behaved in a way not suitable for a man in his position. And yet when he sat with Ellie watching a movie and eating dinner like normal people he found that there wasn't anything in that world that was more important to him than what she thought of him. He'd surprised both of them when he started cleaning while she was at work. He'd even sold some of his Asgardian items in order to pay the rent, a surprise he was saving for later.
Being there with her had changed him entirely and he found it didn't bother him in the least, caring for her, feeding her (not that the dinners he had cooked had gone down particularly well) these things that had seemed so trivial before were suddenly all so important and he hadn't the faintest idea why.
The movie ended and he wasn't entirely sold on how he was going to deal with his current situation. Lost in thought he didn't even realise that Ellie had fallen asleep beside him until a soft snore gave her away and he looked up smiling sadly at the vision before him. She looked so small, so fragile.
"Sweet little Midgardian you are working too hard." He murmured as he crouched before her and sighed softly watching the changes in her expression as she dreamed. "What I would give to know what it is that you dream of." Leaning forward he brushed his lips just barely against her cheek and stood reaching for the blanket folded over the sofa. He placed it over her as gently as he could manage and returned to his seat curling himself up against the arm of the sofa and with one last look to his Midgardian he drifted into an easy dreamless sleep.
Fin!
