You forced a false smile "I'm sorry Thor I won't die I promise." He didn't look too convinced but you decided to take it one step further "I'm not ok but I'm sure I'll find a way to be if you're there." you slipped your hand in his you could tell this reassured him even if it was just a lie.
That's what you were now apparently, a liar.- story recap
-Thor's Pov-
Her hand was small in mine so delicate and soft I didn't want to release it but I also did not wish to make her uncomfortable in any way, shape, or form. She didn't seem to be in any rush to retract her hand from mine which I must say I was grateful for. "Thor," she called delicately tilting her head upwards and looking at me. "Hm?" I replied taking my eyes away from her hand and meeting her gaze "I don't know where he is." she whimpered faintly, "where who is?" I asked in a confused voice. "Loki, I don't know where he is so the whole torture thing was pointless." a knot tightened in my stomach she thought we were looking for Loki and that's why she was tormented. Grasping the image of that I spoke knowing full well it was something she didn't want to hear "(name)... Loki is in custody." She instantly retracted her hand pulling it close to her chest "what does that mean?" her voice so painfully raw I didn't want to answer. "Thor, then why would your father put me down there I don't understand." I pressed my lips into a fine line trying to form the right words, "You were his punishment (name)." it came out more straightforward than I would have hoped her expression was tense and dark possibly from the discomfort of her body that she awoke to. "what does that mean I still do not understand." her (h/e) eyes pleaded with my blue ones begging for a better answer than she would receive. "He made him watch." I said woefully watching as she turned callous and stiff once more. "Do you know what they did?" she said barely audible staring blankly at the wall straight ahead. "I know vaguely from what the healers told me of your condition but no I do not strictly know." she finally turned her head to face me but her lifeless gaze felt like she was looking through me. "I need to see Loki" she parted back the bed covers to stand, "(Name), please you just woke up and your body is still mending you most likely cannot stand." she shook her head forcefully, "I have to he'll be so worried and you don't understand how he gets I have to tell him I'm ok, please Thor." she begged me, as much as I didn't want to say no to her I knew for her own health I would have to. "(name)," I started "you need to worry about your own health and emotions, not Loki's, the healers managed to put you in a coma-like state so your body could heal on the inside and give it the rest it needed. But you will still feel all the pain from everything including what the healers mended, I'm looking out for your own well-being and I will not allow you to see him for the time being." My voice sounded strict but I had no intention of wavering on this she needed to come to terms with what has happened. "Ok, I'll listen." an answer I was not expecting from her at all, she put up so little resistant it was scary. "Thor?" she called to me in a solid voice, "yes (name)?" her lips parted in an odd laugh "food, can I have food?" My cheeks turned a deep shade of red that should have been the first thing I offered her instead of getting wrapped up in her touching me. "Of course!" I shall find a nurse to watch you while I'm gone." I think she understands I do not trust her alone with herself our conversation was so grim and dark I would be a fool too. I stood placing my hand on the doorknob getting ready to depart. "Thor," she called once more rolling my name off her tongue sweetly. I returned to face her at the foot of the bed urging her to finish the thought "could you find the book I came with? It's brown with my name on it I had it in my coat pocket but I don't know where the guards placed it. It would really make me happy to see it again." I placed a happy smile on my face making her give me one also, "then I will not stop until I find It." her smile widened and seemed more natural than all the other ones I had seen. "Thor, when you come back could you... stay with me? I do not wish to be alone anymore especially with someone I don't know." I took three large steps until I was beside her again bending over to give her an innocent kiss on the forehead. "Then I will move with haste and never leave your side." with a promise I intended to keep I left her with a petite nurse in search of her book and food.
-note: YAY! really happy I finally hammered out this chapter I went through some writer's block and posted one I didn't quite here is one I'm actually proud of and can present, I was going to back away from Reader and Thor's relationship and do one with Sigyn's pov but it wasn't as interested in it. Hopefully, this odd relationship becomes more established before I move to Sigyn and Reader's relationship. I honestly never intended to make a chapter with Sigyn's Pov but it might happen to show what she thinks of you and feels for you etc. Anyway thanks for reading up to here and sticking with the story I'm still trying to figure out the direction this will go but hopefully, it's always worthy of you the reader. Until the next chapter- Eira
