THORxYUI (THOI)
"Thor-sempai!" He heard his name being called out to him, he was making his way to Loki's 'Going Home Club' meeting. They were planning to have their first 'get together'.
He turned around and faced the purple haired girl who was running up to him, "Thor-sempai! I was looking all over for you! Thoth-sama has requested for all the students and gods to meet in the student hall for an all school meeting!" She was panting, obviously running around looking for every one.
He remained stoic however, "Is Loki going?" He asked calmly with no such expression on his face. "We-Well, I haven't found him-" he didn't let her finish, "If Loki's not going, then I don't feel obligated to do so then." That seemed to always be his excuse for everything related to unimportant school events (which would also include school itself) he didn't find necessary.
He turned without a blink and started to walk away, he wasn't about to get caught up in the depths of her deep caramel brown eyes.
"Thor-sempai! Please!" She grabbed his arm, he stopped mid-step and glanced behind his shoulder, "Yes." He tried to avoid eye contact, meeting her hazel irises would definitely sway him to go to the all school meeting and leave poor Loki all by himself.
"Come? Please? Apollon-san and I have been trying our very hardest to get all the gods involved with school activities, it would make him happy to see both you and Loki-san there!" He spared a quick peek at her face, she had her lips pursed and eyes shining.
He could feel his eye twitch.
She let go of his arm then started to fiddle with her fingers while looking down, a slight blush gracing her cheeks, "It would make me happy too to see you there..." She looked away.
By this time, Thor had completely turned around to face her again, and without his consent, his hand rested gently on her shoulder, "Ok, I'll come."
No matter how many times the corners of his lips twitched, he refuse to crack a smile. It would completely shatter his facade.
•
It's hardly been three weeks at the School Of Gods, and she's been having trouble controlling the irrational and sometimes reckless gods that desperately needed to be taught humanity for the sake of their thrones. Susanoo and Tsukuyomi were the quiet ones, usually Tsukuyomi being the one dragged around by his brother. Dionysus was too busy tending to his vineyard and winery in the school gardens to care about school. Apollon and Balder usually were the most involved, they were actually enthusiastic about coming to the School Of Gods. She still however, didn't understand what drove those two enthusiasts.
But on the other hand, there was Loki and Thor, they usually were the troublemakers, pulling pranks or stealing from the spirits or the other gods. Though she refused to believe that Thor was involved with such treacheries, he was just too... Emotionless for that type of nonsense.
What she said to Thor-sempai was true, she and Apollon-san have been kicking butt to hopefully get the rebel gods to join at least a few school activities. It was definitely not an easy task, and just getting the gods into clubs was hard enough, let alone trying to get them to attend their school classes...
But she wasn't lying when she said that it would make her happy to see Thor-sempai at a school function, she'd actually enjoy school if the rest of the gods would just try to at least listen to what she had to say.
She and Thor started to walk in the direction of the school leaving the outside to be in the cool interior of the main building's Great Hall. She could swear it was air conditioned, but Zeus-sama wouldn't allow such a 'human invention' in this dazzling place. He was probably able to control the interior temperature, it wouldn't surprise her one bit, actually, nothing would really surprise her anymore.
"Kusanagi-san, what exactly is this meeting about?" Thor-sempai's voice rang in the unusually empty hall; it broke her from her thoughts. "Well..." She placed a finger gingerly on her lips, it seemed to become her only bad habit, "Thoth-sama didn't explain himself," she made sure to add a quiet 'like usual' to the end of that, "So I'm guessing that maybe it has something to do with an upcoming activity that would hopefully link the gods more to their humanity." She tapped her bottom lip while looking up to the ceiling.
She honestly didn't know what the meeting was about.
•
He couldn't look her in the eyes, he was probably the most stern god here (maybe not including Zeus-sama and Thoth-sensei), so why could he feel himself crumbling in her presence. His eye twitched of annoyance of his own naïveté, how could this be happening to him?
He could hear her ramble on about insignificant school activities that do not concern him but he couldn't be frustrated with her for he was the very one to ask a school related question.
"...and that I'm not sure of either." He must've been deep in thought for she completely stopped and started at him. He hadn't notice at first, but he could feel her light brown chocolate eyes on him.
He stopped walking, "Can I help you?" To his own surprise, he didn't sound one bit irritated, he noted that he almost sounded amused.
She smiled lightly at him, "No, it's nothing really..." She stopped by his side, a little too close for comfort. He narrowed his eyes slightly at her, "Don't lie to me, Kusanagi-san." He could tell that under his gaze, she faltered slightly, "We-Well, you seemed to be deep in thought..."
She played with her fingers, he noticed that seemed to be a habit of hers too. An adorable one, he added to his thoughts. His lips twitched up just slightly, "Yes, I was."
She seemed to be slightly surprised by his more than honest answer, he recognized her bewildered face, "Did you expect to hear differently, Kusanagi-san?" He raised his right eyebrow slightly, amused by her reactions and his own words.
She pursed her lips and started to play with her fingers again, "Well, I just didn't expect you to bluntly say 'yes'. It just doesn't seem like... Like y-you..." She turned away from him quickly, but not before he could spot red that lined her cheeks.
There was silence for a short moment before he decided to end her, dare he say it, adorable embarrassment. "Why don't we head on to the Hall, we're bound to be late." He turned back around and started to walk away with the corners of his lips tugging upwards.
•
To her, he seemed to be more talkative than usual, he actually held a conversation with her, albeit it was not the usual 'casual talk'. She followed him on his heels, he had a long stride and she could honestly say that he was speeding up every five steps, purposely.
She was almost to a jog before they reached the hall and she was out of breath. Thor-sempai opened the double door and she braced herself for Thoth-sensei's wrath. "Kusanagi Yui, why are you late?!" His voice boomed through the auditorium and everyone present in the room turned their heads in Yui and Thor's direction. "Well, sensei, I couldn't find the rest of the gods, but I managed to find Thor-sempai..." She nervously played with her fingers, she knew she was going to get wall slammed by him again, it was inevitable.
She felt Thoth-sensei's intense stare on her and the odd emotion that radiated off of the god whom stood next to her. She grabbed the sleeve of Thor-sempai's jacket and pulled him to the front row where the gods and her assigned seats were. She could still feel Thoth-sensei's glare, it was boring a hole through her.
•
They sat down, he couldn't sit still the way Thoth-sensei was looking at her, it was unsettling and making him very uncomfortable even though he wasn't the one getting stared at. It made something in the pit of his stomach stir.
He stole a glance to his left side where she was sitting, she had a very stressed look on her face, her forehead was wrinkled and eyebrows in a knot.
It seemed to be making her uneasy too.
He rested his hands on his thighs and made sure to stare at the podium that Thoth-sensei was lecturing at, he wasn't sure how much time had passed by or how long his sensei was up there talking, but one thing was for sure, he couldn't stop feeling Kusanagi's tension.
His fingers twitched, and he could feel sweat rolling down his forehead. He felt almost sick, he assumed this is what a fever would've felt like.
"Thor-sempai, are you feeling alright? You look a little pale..." The angel next to him raised her hand and rested it on his twitching fingers. He couldn't bring himself to say anything, she was too close. He turned his head the other direction and quickly pulled his hand away from her's afraid of what he was feeling.
"You two!" Yui and Thor's heads whipped to face the front where Thoth-sensei was up on the stage behind the podium. He held his pointer finger right in their direction, "What is happening here?!" Thor noticed that Yui had completely paled after she briefly flushed red.
The entire room hushed to a point where you could probably hear your neighbor's heartbeat. "Outside at once, Kusanagi Yui!" He jumped off the stage and strode over to the double doors, Thor watched as Kusanagi got up and fell into step with his evil genius sensei. He watched as her head hung before Thoth-sensei slammed the doors shut.
"What just happened?!" Thor could hear Apollon yell in the background, it was obvious that Apollon enjoyed Kusanagi's company, 'who wouldn't', he thought to himself secretly. But what he couldn't stand for was the god of sun all over her, he just didn't like to be around them for reasons unknown to him, and in all honestly, he didn't want to know the reason. That's why he was never around for most of the occasions, he would prefer to stay away from Kusanagi because she seemed to get a substantial amount of attention from the other gods. He assumed that being around multiple gods begging for her attention was driving her over the edge of insanity.
"Don't dare forget what I talked about today! If you do, that means another twenty pages of Shakespeare and the history of Leonardo Da Vinci due Friday on my desk! Dismissed!" With that, he walked away leaving the doors open.
Thor waved off his sensei's threat with a quick roll of his eyes, he was about to continue to sit there and wait for Loki and Balder to find him, when he realized that when Thoth-sensei stormed off with Kusanagi and never came back, he, almost by instinct, got up and rushed to the door. "Oi! Thor-Thor! Where are you goin'?" He ignored Apollon and all the looks that were given by the other gods.
The only thought that ran through his mind was to get to Yui.
•
Like she suspected, he cornered her and pushed her into a wall slamming his arm to the side of her head, "What was the meaning of your," he narrowed his eyes at her, "exchange with Thor, Norse god of thunder?" She couldn't help but swallow back the lump in her throat, sometimes, she was just deathly afraid of her sensei.
When she didn't answer, he leaned closer to her, obviously oblivious to personal space, "Answer me, Kusanagi Yui." She could feel his breath on her cheeks and it made the blood rise to her face. "I-I..."
•
Thor had left the auditorium and started down the right hallway where he saw Thoth-sensei turn before leaving the doorway. He continued on until he could hear talking from a stern voiced male that couldn't be mistaken for anyone else's other than sensei. He couldn't bring himself to go up to them, so he hid like a coward. The Norse god of thunder hid like a coward from a human and an Egyptian god. In a few hours, maybe minutes, he would regret this.
He decided to just listen, he could hear and feel sensei slam his hand against the wall, and he knew who was pinned under him, for an odd reason, he felt like his blood was boiling. He gripped the clothing by his left chest.
"What was the meaning of your exchange with Thor, the Norse god of thunder?"
He heard Thoth-sensei ask her, quite sternly. There was a long silence and then there was a little shuffling, oh how he wished to know what was going on, he wanted to look around the corner, but he knew he would be caught. But a small gasp from Kusanagi was enough to confirm his suspicions that Thoth-sensei was getting a little too close for her comfort.
He sucked in a breath.
"Answer me, Kusanagi Yui."
He looked a different direction, his body thinking that turning away from the sound was enough to keep his cool.
"I-I..."
He let his head hang, why was he still listening, this wasn't something he should eavesdrop on. It was his sensei and classmate he was spying on. But that was the exact reason why he wouldn't let any other relationship form between the two, he felt that anything more between the two would be dire and cause too much conflict.
He tried to persuade himself that he wasn't being selfish and he was trying to prevent anything from happening between the two for everyone's mental sake.
Not just his own.
"He didn't look too good, I-I thought that maybe he-he..."
Her voice faded to a point where no matter how much he strained his ears, he wouldn't be able to hear anything. He wanted to turn around the corner so badly that it physically hurt his subconscious.
What was he thinking? He leaned his back against the wall and he could feel his body slump slightly. What was he doing here? He ran his fingers through his ear length messy hair. He should make sure sensei isn't doing anything he shouldn't. He traced a finger over his one bolt cut in his hair. Why should he care about Kusanagi?
•
She tried to explain to him why she was looking after Thor-sempai, but she couldn't finish because Thoth-sensei was getting too close. He had his hand by the side of her head and not to mention his face was only mere centimeters from hers and he was still leaning in. And before she knew it, his lips were brushing her neck. She could feel a shiver go up her spine. 'Why was sensei getting so close?' She thought to herself. She couldn't help but feel a little vulnerable bring under Thoth-sensei, he had such a intimidating aura.
She couldn't find her voice or her strength to say anything.
"Kusanagi..." He breathed into the nape of her neck. She could feel her knees buckling.
•
He couldn't take it anymore, he snapped. He composed himself and walked around the corner as if he just arrived. Sensei pulled away immediately, anyone else who passed by wouldn't have suspected anything, but he knew better.
Thoth-sensei quickly walked away, but Thor made sure he sent a message. He ran his shoulder into his sensei's and continued walking, but Thoth didn't, he glared at the back of Thor's head but he wasn't phased by it.
Thoth-sensei briskly walked away without another word.
"Kusanagi-san, are you ready to go?" He asked her knowing that she'd still be recovering from sensei's actions. "Wh-Where...?" She stumbled over her words and her feet, he helped her by grabbing her arms, he saw her flush. "To the barbecue that A-Apollon had prepared." The always straight faced and uptight Norse god of thunder stuttered. But something deep down in the darkness of his heart despised that name and made it hard for him to say it.
She rubbed her forehead trying desperately to grip reality, "It's Friday already?" She sighed. He gripped her tightly and made sure to stand her upright before he let her go and slowly started walking to the back of the school where the garden was. "Yes, it's Friday."
He could hear her light footsteps fall into step next to him, he could feel her gaze on him, but he just pretended not to notice.
They had enjoyed the barbecue and now were just conversing amongst themselves on full stomachs. Apollon and Balder were stuck like glue to Kusanagi as usual, Susanoo and Tsukuyomi were admiring Kusanagi from a distance (like usual), Loki was probably causing mischief somewhere, and Dionysus was getting drunk in a corner muttering Kusanagi's name (odd...).
Thor had stayed away from most of the party, he wished not to discuss matters with the other gods, he barley talked with his closest and dearest friends: Loki and Balder. But the more he watched the gods talk and near Kusanagi, the more his blood boiled.
For the longest time, he didn't know what was happening to him, so he stayed away from what he didn't understand: Kusanagi Yui.
He didn't understand her effect on him, and honestly speaking, it scared him.
But over a few weeks, he realized that he was jealous. Jealous of the Japanese gods, jealous of the Greek gods, but what surprised him most, was that he was jealous of his best friends. If he thought that not understanding what was happening scared him, this terrified him.
Out of all the gods, he knew he was the most protective, the weakest, and the most jealous of all the gods. That's why he wasn't around, that's why he didn't want to be around. Because he was still afraid of her effect.
Maybe it wasn't Hades who brought in the thunder.
Maybe he didn't know if the shackle prevented his powers to leak.
Maybe he actually loved Kusanagi Yui.
