;3 Chapter Start C:
Thor and Fandral stand nervously outside of Datsu's door with Loki, Sif, Hogun, and Volstagg standing patiently behind them. Fandral is the one that eventually steps forward and knocks on the thick wooden door. Everyone hears the gentle tapping of footsteps and Datsu opens the door smiling up at them. Everyone takes a step back in astonishment of what they see. Instead of wearing his street clothes from Midguard he is now dressed in leather, some black cloth, and chain. He is adjusting the strings of his leather for arm guards. Loki allows his forest green eyes to look over Datsu from the top of his head all the way down to the tis of his toes.
Datsu is wearing a well-kept cotton sleeveless black shirt with a black leather chest guard that has three belt like straps on either of his sides. He has on a black cotton set of renaissance looking trousers that are covered to his knees by his black shirt. After all of that, he is wearing black leather boots that are made with an intricately woven look to them that matches that of Loki's leather chest guard. His hair is pulled back into a small ponytail with his long blue black bangs hanging out and framing his thin face. Datsu meekly gulps and smiles more shyly at them still adjusting his straps to be nice and tight like the rest of them.
"D-do I l-look a-alright?" His voice is quiet and shy. And Thor bursts into loud laughter.
"My young friend you look as if you were born and raised an Asguardian!" His voice is loud and echoing as he steps forwards hugging Datsu tightly. Datsu laughs softly and it almost sounds like a hyena and the rest of them join in including Loki who quietly chuckles off to the side. Once the laughter dies down and Thor releases Datsu from his vise like grip, Datsu smiles and looks up at Thor.
"So what did you come to talk about? I'm sure it wasn't about my fashion sense~" His tone is light but his features turn more serious as Thor looks away sadly.
"We have come to apologies to you for our rudeness earlier" Fandral speaks up sadly and bows lowly to Datsu. Thor nods and bows as well and Datsu smiles sadly. He slides his slim finger under either of their chins and lifts them gentle.
"You have no reason to apologies to me. I am only sad that you two were saying such harsh words to each other because of me." His voice is light and soft as he speaks and both Thor and Fandral blink and stare before standing and Thor pulls him into another deep hug.
"You are far too kind to us my young friend." Tears are forming in Thor's eyes and his voice has lost its booming edge. He sniffles and pulls back whipping his eyes lightly before smiling and clapping Datsu on the shoulder. "Now shall we continue the feast?! I don't remember you being able to taste our Asguardian delicacies!" Datsu smiles brightly and nods.
"Then let us go!" Fandral's voice is jolly and they all start to walk off to the hall.
Once they get to the main hall Thor and Volstagg go into a drinking and eating contest, Sif walks off to get a drink of her own with Hogun, and Loki disappears into the crowed. Datsu finds himself plastering his back to the cool stone wall in his usual quiet and out of the way position.
"Are you not having fun?" Fandral's voice startles Datsu out of his thoughts and he looks up from the floor into Fandral's dazzling blue eyes.
"No! No, I'm h-having plenty o-of fun!" Datsu smiles fakely for Fandral but he just shakes his head and takes Datsu's chin gently as he slides his thumb across Datsu's cheek.
"Thor is not here. You don't have to lie and fake your happiness to me." Fandral's voice is gentle and kind. Datsu's eyes dilate and he gulps lightly before frowning lightly.
"B-but…" Datsu's voice trails off and he swallows thickly. Fandral smiles softly and continues to let his thumb caress Datsu's cheek gently.
"From the moment I saw you I recognized your look of faked happiness and hidden pain. I know several people who are so much like you, but they aren't nearly as ambitious as you." Fandral continues to use the same kind voice and Datsu swallows again. "Now let us go make you actually happy! I'm sure a pint of our famous Meade shall surely cheer you up!" Datsu laughs softly and nods allowing Fandral to drag him off.
Loki returns from whatever else he had been doing all this time and looks idly around noticing that he doesn't see either Fandral or Datsu. Loki frowns softly and walks over to Thor who is laughing heartily and drinking Volstagg under the table.
"Thor? Have you seen Datsu?" Loki's voice is regal and quizzical. Thor looks at his brother and blinks looking around and noticing Datsu's absence he becomes instantly more sober.
"We must find him!" Thor stands up quickly as Volstagg tips over in unconsciousness but Sif and Hogun walk up quizzically wondering what has worried Thor. After they talk as to if any of them had seen where Datsu had walked off to. No one knew and they began to look around. Loki walked out to the balcony and saw Datsu puking into a bucket as Fandral passes worriedly. Fandral freezes and stares sacredly at Loki.
"It isn't what it looks like!" Fandral frantically blurts out and Datsu looks up sickly.
"I really shouldn't have let you talk me into drinking that much." Datsu mutters lightly before puking into the bucket again. Loki slides a hand across his face and pinches the bridge of his nose.
"What really happened?" Loki looks into Fandral's eyes with a slight glare and Fandral meekly smiles back.
"I saw him being a wall flower a-and figured I-I'd cheer him up. S-so I took him over and got him a drink…Or two…" Fandral scratches the back of his head. Datsu looks up with a slight glare.
"Or six." Datsu mutters. Loki sighs again before sending one of his illusions to lead Thor and the others back to him.
"You do know that it's illegal for people under twenty-one to drink on Midguard, right?" Fandral gulps lightly and looks over at Datsu thinking he's only in his teens. Thor walks briskly in and stares worriedly over at Datsu.
"Are you alright my young friend?" His voice is booming and worried and Datsu swallows setting down the bucket and sitting up a bit straighter.
"Yes of course, I must have eaten something that didn't agree with me" His lie is told flawlessly and Thor instantly falls for it. "Fandral was just being a friend to me and keeping me away from all of the noise and crowdedness." He smiles and shakily stands up looking as though he had recovered. Thor smiles and looks to Fandral who looks away unable to keep eye contact with Thor especially if he was going to pull of the lie. Loki conceals his surprise and he nods to Thor who rushes up to Datsu and hugs him tightly.
"Then we should get you to the healers at once!" Thor raps his arm across Datsu's shoulders and begins to drag him off with the others following quickly. Datsu looks behind himself as best he can at the moment and makes eye contact with Fandral for but a second with the slightest essence of a nod, before, he looks into Loki's knowing eyes and blinks softly. Loki gets the message and smiles lightly with a slight nod in return.
