I want to begin by telling everyone that I am so bad whit norse mythology and the things I learned as a child are so different from the way Thor is told that I decided to go my own way with this, so if it is wrong according to the norse mythology, have in mind that I consider this kind of an au. I own nothing :P
In my younger years I had the reckless mind of my two sons. I would put up fights and live by my own standard, I considered myself over everyone else. The heir of the throne was a honorable and important position, and I had been born into it. My life was already planned and I didn't need to work for anything, so I spent my time getting drunk and just "living the life" as I called it. My father similar to me at an older age, decided that he'd had it with my young stupidity and sent my out to make my own way through Asgard, which meant that he wanted me to find a job and make a living without anyone's help but my own. After proving that I had grown I let back into the place, and my orignal title as heir of the trone, and then king.
It's thanks to that I grew close to the people of Asgard and still to this day I roam the streets greeting my people and lending them a helping hand when ever it's needed. That is how I found Sebastian one night.
It was an extremely quiet evening in Asgard. Thor and Loki was running around the palace playing some game and it was the only thing that could be heard from whitin the palace. Their games was often lively and rather loud but usually the sounds from the people in Asgard would make enough sound that you didn't really notice how loud the children's game was. It was getting rather annoying hearing them scream and yell at each other so I was racking my mind of a place I could go where their playing wouldn't intrerrupt me.
The night looked so peaceful that I made up my mind to take a walk on the streets of Asgard, I walked down the Heart of Asgard first and then made my way towards the fisher-men's dock. It was then that I heard a piercing shriek in the night. I rush towards the sound, and as I turn a corner I see the reason to the screaming. In a little bundle on a doorstep lies a screaming new born. I walk to the child and carry him up into my arms and tries to stop his crying.
"You must be freezing little child, who could leave you at night in only a thin blanket?" I whisper to the child. Who now is quiet but squirming in my arms.
"The orphange is full your majesty, so we left him out here to, well I think you can figure it out" A voice says from behind me. As I turn I see an old lady with a crocked back. She is holding a basket full with clothes and has a grin to her face. How she can smile at being a part of an almost murdering of a child is beyond me.
"So you leave this poor, helpless child on the street!? There sure is more room for one new born to at least sleep for the night." Her expressions turn into one of fright when she realizes that i'm not as cruel person as she thought me to be.
"Of course Your highness! I will find a place for him immediately! He won't die tonight" The old lady said in a rush trying to convince me that she was somehow suitable to care for a child, but my mind had already been set.
"I can't trust you with this child or any other, as of right now you are no longer and employe of this orphanages, You will leave to find another job more fitting for your character, And don't try and argue with me on this matter, you should feel lucky that I didn't give you a Worse punishment." I say and she doesn't even pretend to care for the child anymore, simply runs inside the orphanages, but before she goes I think I hear her mumble: Thank you!
I look down at the child resting in my arms, he is squirming and Stretching his arms out. Once again I start to talk to the child, and this time also let my finger tickle his belly some. The child then open his eyes and I am met with the most stunning green eyes I have ever seen and it feels almost as if the child can see through my very soul with those piercing eyes.
"I shall bring you back to the palace and raise you as one of my own. You will be called Samuel, no that doesn't fit you right. Si- no. Sa- no. Se-Sebastian?" The child gives out what sounded like a laugh so I take it he likes it. "My son Sebastian."
Growing up being the youngest of three is hard enough, but then to have one of your brothers be the god of mischief is just plainly unfair. It was as though the only thing Thor and Loki could bond over was mocking me, at least that's how I saw it. Worst is that after all that their behavior hasn't changed one bit towards me as they grew up, if anything it grew worse.
That is also the reason why I am stuck in the celling to the throne room. Mother and Father have been searching for me for quite some time now. I had been gone since dawn and it was almost midnight now so I can understand their concern, and I wanted to be found, but Thor and Loki had cast a spell upon me which made it impossible for me to speak. So screaming: I'm up here. Would do me no god since no one would even hear me.
I soon saw Thor and Loki entering the room, laughing themselves silly at my misfortune. Father on the other hand would have nothing of it and started screaming at them that their brother missing is no laughing matter. It was then that Thor pointed at me and whitin seconds I was down safe and sound.
"Sebastian are you alright? It must have been horrible up there sweetheart, have you been stuck up there all day?" Mother says to me gently checking out for any kind of injury. Before I can answer any of her questions she has turned towards thor and Loki.
"How could you two do this!? You complete morons, who's idea was it to hang your brother up in the roof! He could have been seriously hurt!" Thor and Loki look to the floor both mumbling different excuses and shockingly looking guilty.
"I am fine alright? They even brought me food earlier! It's no big deal I just want to go to sleep. If you really find this nescessarily then can we please save it for morning?" I ask faking a yawn to make it more believable. Mother and father agrees immediately telling me to go and get some rest. As I walk towards my chambers I hear Mother and Father keep on lecturing my brothers, and it gives me quite some satisfaction.
"I want to go to Midgard. Permanently" I state during dinner. My announcement is met with total silence. At least until Mother breaks it food forgotten and the most hurt expression I have ever seen on her face.
"A-Are you not ha-happy h-h-here?" My mother asks her voice wavering. It still amazes me how much she cares.
"No Mother it's not that. It just feels like something is missing and that what I'm searching for I can't find here, but instead at Midgard. I know it sounds strange but I've been having these dreams of a place and I somehow know that it's Midgard. Please Mother try to understand, you were after all the one who told me to follow my destiny whatever it may be, and I have a feeling that this is it." I say, trying to explain myself so that they can understand and still allow me to go to Midgard.
We all sit silently after that, the other members of my family all wear different masks of disbelief and confusion. Thor is the one to break the silence by clearing his throat and shifting uncomfortably.
"Dear Brother Sebastian, if this is brought on by Loki and my treatment of you then you needn't worry. Even if we act as if we don't care, you are our Brother and we love you like one. We will even stop our endless bullying towards you if you feel like it affects such a big part of your life, so much that you want to go to another world." Thor says in a rush and I see Loki nodding his head along, agreeing to what Thor was saying. It's new for them to show any kind of affection to me, and it is very strange if I'm going to be honest, but still it feels warming and my hearts sweel at Thor's ashamed eyes as he looks down. I have already made up my mind though and they can't change it by sweet talking me out of it, after all I'm not a little kid anymore.
"It's not that, I made this decession on my own and you can't change my mind. I can not find the words to explain it but deep in my heart I know I need to do this, so please just try and support me in this choice." I state and this time Mother stretches her hand towards mine and holds it with her delicate slender fingers.
"Of course my sweer Sebastian, of course we'll support you in your choice. I just don't even want to think of this place without you and I think I speak for everyone when I say that. You are still just a kid and it's going to be so hard to let you go, bit if you insist that it's what you really want, then we won't stop you" My Mother says softly, stroking my hand meanwhile. Then she lifts her hand up to my cheek and brush some hair out of my eyes, and I cant help but wonder why everything had to be so perfect before I left. No matter what though I can feel a kind of a burning, a yearning from whitin whose feed by the knowledge that soon, very soon, it will get it's wish fulfilled, and knowing that wipes away any other worries or emotions.
"You know that you are being undeniably selfish right?" I look up at the sound of Loki's voice and see him leaning against the frame of the door. He is standing there looking at his nails but, picking dirt from underneath them I think. Then he looks up and starts to speak.
"May I enter Brother?" Loki asks and I stretch out my arms in an invitation to join me on the bed. He steps inside the room and closes the door behind him.
"What can I d-"
"Don't talk, just listen and then you can talk. As I said before, you are being incredibly selfish in this, you know Mother and Father always loved you the most, you are their little prince and they value you more then anything else. Don't try to 'change' my mind on that point, it's just how it is. Thor and myself are the older siblings, and we are loved as such. One day the throne of Asgard will be passed on to one of us and not you. So your stay here may feel pointless but it isn't, you are not a burden and not a threat to anyone of us. We adore you and this wouldn't be the same place without you. Imagine me and Thor being here alone, we only really get along with you here. So please stay, maybe not for you but for me and the rest of the family. Promise me you'll think about it." Loki says in an even voice, and he sounds so genuine that it twists something inside of me, as the long lost guilty resurface.
I can't tell him that I am leaving, I don't want to put him through that. He has never showed this side of himself. Why does everything have to work out around here just before I leave?
Loki stands once again after sometime and starts to make his way to the door.
"I'm not going" I state quietly, and I feel sick to my stomach voicing that lie, Even more when Loki turns and looks so excited. He runs up to me and hugs me for the first time in years, whispering a soft thank you. We talk for some until he says he should leave and let me sleep.As soon as he's gone I sit down at my desk composing a letter for my family. It takes about an hour for me to finish the letter, then I stand up and grab a bag packing it to the brim with different things my Mother had said would help me when I got down to earth. Apparently they had been given to Asgard from Midgard centuries ago, and the humans on Midgard was searching desperately for these remains. This meant that all I had to do was sell the remains to get on my feet and be well on my way for the journey Midgard had to offer me.
With my bag slung over my shoulder I climb out my window and starts to make my way towards the Bifrost, and Midgard.
