AN: WARNING THERE IS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THOR RAGNAROK IN THIS SO PLEASE DON’T READ AHEAD IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN IT YET AND DON’T BLAME ME IF YOU DON’T READ THIS AND GET SPOILED COS I WARNED YA

It had been all but a month since you stared helplessly from the ships window watching your home be burnt to the ground. Nothing could have ever prepared you for that, seeing all you’ve ever known be wiped away in a matter of minutes. Yet as you watched your city turn to ash, a new sense of hope was given to your people. As your rightful heir took his place on a more or lesser versions of a throne, we knew that this wasn’t the end of Asgard.As the great Heimdall, who was also a great friend to you, once said “Asgard is not a place, it’s the people.”

So that’s how you ended up here, cruising the galaxy in a gigantic spaceship packed full with Asgardians. It wasn’t the greatest living arrangement but you couldn’t complain. It still beats the cave everyone stayed in during Hela’s rule. Even after everything that’s happened, all the death and destruction, you know that Thor is the greatest king your people have ever had. And unlike Oden, he didn’t need to kill and abuse his power to do it. Heck even prince Loki has changed for the better, his old self would never have come back to save your people. Something had changed within both brothers and it was definitely the good kind of change.

Thoughts of your old home plagued your mind as you sat lent against the wall, palms faced upwards as you attempted to wield your magic. Yes, technically you could be a witch of sorts but not even you had figured out the extent of your power or how you came to posses it. For now the most you can do is levitate small objects for a short period of time. You hated how you couldn’t do more to help your people during Ragnarok. The most you could do was help Heimdall gather the people to safety as not even your fighting skills were more than satisfactory.

A loud knock on your door caused you to lose focus, the red mist of your magic disappearing from your finger tips. With a sigh you stood up to answer it, hoping to the gods that it wasn’t someone coming to give you kitchen duty for the day. However when you opened the door you were surprised to see Valkyrie, your newest friend who’d you’d met during your first week on the ship.

“Took you long enough Y/N.” Your friend was leaning against the wall outside your door, drink in her hand and a sour expression on her face. "Wow aren’t you in the best of moods today.“

Her expression immediately softened at your words, sighing before taking another swig of her drink. "I’m sorry it’s just, I’ve been so overwhelmed by everything lately.”

Closing the door behind you, you sent her a sympathetic smile. "Wanna talk about it over a drink?“

"Gods you know me so well.”

“So tell me, what’s on your mind?” You asked, turning to face your friend whilst sipping your drink. Her mood quickly faltered as she thought, whatever was bothering her must really be getting to her. "Thor.“

That was definitely not the answer you were expecting to come out of her mouth. "Our king?” You leaned in closer now, quickly interested in the situation. You’d never personally met the guy but after meeting Val you sure heard a lot about him. Your friend only slumped onto the table in front of you, groaning into her arms in clear frustration.“He’s a pain in the ass sometimes.”

Your eyebrow quirked at this, you’d never seen Val so worked up about someone since, well never. “Oh really? In what way?”

“He won’t leave me alone! He always wants my input on every situation. He says these stupid things but for some reason it makes my heart beat faster and sometimes…”

“What?”

“Sometimes when I’m around him my cheeks, the go all red. It’s infuriating!”

A smirk appeared on your face. As grown up and tough as Val was, she was still so oblivious to her feelings. "Val, did it ever occur to you that you might like him?“ She only rolled her eyes at your words, not understanding the context behind them. "Well of course I like him, I don’t hate him.”

“No no no. As in more than just a friendly way.”

Her face instantly grew red at the accusation, anger evident in her voice. "Are you out of your mind? Of course i’m not in love with the king.“

"Who’s in love with me?”

Val’s eyes widened, her body going stiff at the sound of Thor’s voice coming from behind her. Slowly turning around to greet him she feigned her normal stony expression but her blushing cheeks gave her emotions away. "Uh no one of course. Oh Y/N I don’t think you and Thor have met before. Y/N this is Thor and Thor this is Y/N.“

You shook your head slightly at her actions, of course she’d find a way to change to subject. You offered the king a friendly smile, he definitely wasn’t any less attractive up close. "It’s nice to finally meet you.”

“Ah so you’re the friend Valkyrie won’t shut up about.." 

"Wow Val I’m flattered.”

“Oh shut up. So, what brings you here Thor?" 

"I was going to ask if you wanted to have a drink with me, but I see you’ve already got company.” Disappoint was evident on his face, as much as he tried to hide it. You felt for the guy, you really did. Both Val and Thor clearly liked each other but your friend was also stubborn when it came to her feelings. 

“Yes me and Y/N are busy so if you don’t mind-”

You stood up abruptly, Val’s eyes wide as you began to leave her alone with her crush. “Oh would you look at the time, I’ve actually got this thing I’ve gotta get to so…bye!" 

"W-what?! Y/N!”

As you left the room you could still faintly hear the conversation between them. “So…may I join you?” The king flirted shamelessly, your friend gritting her teeth in anger. "I’m gonna kill that girl.“

You were making your way back to your room, when turning a corner you walked right into a hard chest. The sounds of books hitting the ground accompanied your fall onto the hard surface. That was definitely going to bruise in the morning. You began collecting the books the stranger had dropped, not yet looking up from the floor. "I’m so sorry, I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going-”

“Clearly.”

The voice definitely belonged to a man, one with evidently terrible manners. Rolling your eyes at the rude remark you finished gathering the books, raising up onto your feet before harshly shoving them into the strangers chest. "You don’t have to be so god damn rude about it.“

It wasn’t until those words left your mouth did you finally look at the man in front of you. Your eyes widening at the Prince, your state of shock rendering you speechless. Like his brother you’d never seen Loki up close before, but gods was he unlike any man you’d ever seen. It was as if you were stuck in a trance as you became mesmerised by his eyes, taking into account all the details on his face in pure wonder. 

Loki, however, obviously grew impatient and frustrated by your stares as he harshly snapped you back into reality. "Are you just going to stand there all day and stare at me.”

In a way you were thankful for his words as it reminded you of why you were mad at this boy in the first place. Prince or not, he didn’t have the right to speak to you that way. “Are you always such an asshole to strangers or is it just your sour personality?”

He was clearly offended by your words as his fists clenched in rage, obviously not liking the words that were tumbling out of your mouth. "Excuse me! I am Loki, Prince of Asgard-“

"Well Asgard is gone. And that still doesn’t give you the right to be so rude!” As you stormed away in anger Loki noticed something in his state of shock. A red mist sparking from your fingertips as you walked away in fury. 

 "A mage…”

I was sort of irked that Ragnarok didn’t take the plunge of killing off Vidar right at the end of season one, but it turns out I badly needed to be at turns horrified and entertained and made sad by Laurits’ super major daddy issues, so I have made my peace with it.
