บท 8: Chapter 8
You opened your eyes, greeting the sunlight coming from your window. Your (preferred eye color description) eyes reflected the rays as you get up and fix your bed before doing your hair in a/an (preferred hairstyle). You go to the bathroom and brushed your teeth as well as wash your face before you headed to the kitchen to make yourself a quick breakfast before you go see what the Avengers are up to.
Right when you open the door to the kitchen, you see Nat with a cup of coffee in her hand. You gave her a smile. "Good morning, Nat," you said.
Nat smiled back before she swallowed the coffee in her mouth. "Morning, (y/n)" she said.
"Is that all you ate for breakfast?" you asked, worried for her health.
"No, it's just to wake me up. I had a horrible nightmare" she said which made you laugh.
"Is it Cap? Have you guys not bonded yet?" you asked. Soulmates normally bond the moment they meet each other, but if one or both of them rejects the other, they wouldn't be able to. After bonding with your soulmate, a mark appears on both of you in the same place as your other half. Bonding is considered sacred. It is the act of bounding your soul to your soulmate for life. It was described by philosophers as 'being whole again' and you had always thought it to be romantic.
"He rejected me when we met each other" Nat said, and you notice the sadness in her eyes for a second.
"I'm sorry Nat. But it's okay! It's not necessary for you to be with your soulmate! You'll find someone else" you said and it was true. Although all people have a soulmate, you don't necessarily have to bond with them. You will always have a choice. Some people don't feel the need to be with their soulmate so they'd choose not to. It won't harm the person or anything so it's completely safe.
"I know. Pepper told me she's planning to set me up with someone. A blind date" Nat said.
You squeal in joy. "A blind date?! When?!" you exclaimed loudly, not caring if other people were to hear you.
"Saturday night. I will need your help" She said and you wrapped your arms around her neck to embrace her in excitement.
"We're going to make you so gorgeous, that patriotic man will regret rejecting you!" you said encouragingly with determination in your eyes which made the agent chuckle.
You both heard the door of the kitchen open which made your head turn to see who it was. "What are you ladies doing?" Thor asked, his blonde hair tied up in a bun.
"Nothing," you said with an innocent smile.
Thor shrugged and made his way to the fridge to see what food he could find. He lifted up leftover nuggets with a confused expression on his face. "Maidens, do you know what these are?" he asked before lifting the box to his face, smelling it. "Are these edible?" he added and Nat chuckled while you laughed loudly.
"Those are nuggets, oh mighty god of thunder," you said.
"You have to heat them up before eating them" Nat reminded.
Thor scratched his head. "I still do not know how to operate that machine," Thor said, pointing to the microwave. He knew that microwaves were used to heat cold foods but he still doesn't know how to use them.
You rolled your eyes are you giggled, taking the nuggets from Thor. "Watch, okay" you shortly ordered and Thor nodded, keeping his eyes on the microwave.
You explained carefully to the Asgardian prince how to operate the microwave. Thor looked confused and you could only hope that he was able to understand your explanation. "Do you get it?" you asked and Thor scratched the back of his head.
"Somehow," he said and you gave a small laugh.
"That's good enough, I guess," you said and gave him a pat on the back, a warm smile was placed on your lips.
"You are very different from my brother when it comes to teaching me. He would have lost patience by now" Thor said and smiled at the thought of his dear brother.
"Loki taught you?" you asked.
"How did that go?" Nat asked and raised her eyebrows for a second before taking a sip of her coffee as she leans against the counter, knowing how Loki is which made you roll your eyes at her.
"My mother made my brother teach me magic when we were children. I am not very talented in magic, contrary to my brother, and our tutor would often complain to our parents about my 'lack of skills', so mother thought it was a good idea to have my brother, who was talented in magic, teach me. She had also told us it would be a good bonding time for both of us" Thor said fondly, remembering the simple days in his childhood when his younger brother was only a trickster and not a genocidal man.
You chuckled, knowing it wouldn't have gone so well. "Let me guess, it didn't go so good?" you said and Nat laughed along with you.
"It was not that bad. But my brother lost patience with me on the first day and he thought it would be a good idea to throw a knife at me to 'quickly enhance my protective magic'" Thor said, quoting the enhance my protective magic part with his hands.
"Well, did it work?" Nat asked.
"No, it pierced my arm" Thor casually said and you and Nat burst in laughter.
"That's such a Loki thing to do!" you said, wiping away your tears.
"It really was not that awful. Brother healed me after that" Thor defended.
"I know, Thor, I know" you simply said, patting the big man's arm.
"I'm gonna go cook my breakfast now. (y/n), do you want something?" Nat asked.
"Just (preferred breakfast), please," you said and Nat nodded and started to cook the breakfast for both of you.
"Where are the others?" Thor asked and started to munch on his nuggets.
"Asleep, or exercising," Nat said and you knew exactly which are which.
"I wonder who would like to spar with me sometimes," Thor said.
"How do you usually spar in Asgard? I might be willing to join you" Nat asked as she took the pan from the drawer and placed it on the stove.
"I can do hand in hand combat. I would often train with a female warrior like yourself. Come to think of it, you remind me of her. Both of you are just as headstrong" Thor said.
"I would love to meet her," Nat said as she gave a smile although she wasn't looking at Thor.
"Maybe I shall bring my friends in Midgard sometime," Thor said, before putting another nugget in his mouth.
You suddenly fell out of place. You didn't have any special abilities so you couldn't just say you could spar with thor. it was times like this that made you wish you were somehow special. so you could relate to some of their conversations or be more confident with yourself. you were just a nobody. you felt like a burden. you're just a girl with a lot of traumas.
A sigh escaped your lips. You gave a forced smile. "You should bring Loki too," you said.
Thor smiled at the sound of his brother's name. "I would if the all-father will permit it. I'd imagine my brother would be the one to refuse since he is not fond of Midgard or his memories in here" he said.
You forced a laugh, trying to remove the bitter taste in your mouth. "Who knows, he might change his mind. I would love to show him around, although I'm not very familiar with the streets here yet. I'm not from new york, after all" you said. (if you are from new york, just ignore that)
"Sure, he might come if I told him he has a little fan in Midgard," Thor said.
You smiled genuinely. You really wanted to meet Loki. "Oh, I'm not the only fan in my universe. Dare I say Loki is the most liked character in the whole series. Everyone loves him. They'd go crazy if they find out that I get to meet him in real life" you said, slightly finding it funny if the whole Loki fandom did meet him in real life.
"Wow, and what is the secret behind his fame?" Nat asked as she flips the eggs.
"Well, there's this standard in fictional characters. Someone with dark hair and light eyes. A tall, lean, and muscular, but not too muscular man. A bad boy with a dark past and lots of traumas. And someone who is only soft for their soulmate. People go crazy for that and you can imagine why Loki has lots and lots of fans" you explained.
Nat and Thor blinked a few times, their eyes wide. A few seconds later, they started laughing. You crossed your arms. What was funny about what you said? Thor pats his stomach, seemingly dying from laughter. "What's funny?" you asked.
"I don't think my brother fits that standard," Thor said.
"Yeah me neither" Nat agreed.
"Well, perhaps you both don't know him enough," you said, slightly offended.
"Is being a genocidal murderer part of that standard?" Nat asked.
You stopped. "...its part of his charm," you said which made Nat laugh.
"The people in your universe are crazy," she said.
You scoffed and the door of the kitchen opens, revealing Cap, newly showered. He looks around and sees the tears in Nat and Thor's eyes. "Is something going on?" he asked.
"Nothing to concern yourself with" Nat replied with annoyance and your eyes widened. What is going on between them? You silently reminded yourself to ask Nat later when the two of you are alone. You look at Thor who was also looking at you with wide eyes. The both of you then shifted your gaze at Cap who only rolled his eyes as a response before heading to the fridge, pulling orange juice before he sighed and decided to ask his soulmate.
"Are you perhaps angry at me?" Cap asked Nat. Thor moved from the counter to your side, with his arms resting on your shoulder as you both watch the two argue.
"Am I? I don't remember caring enough about you for me to be angry" Nat retorter which caused a silent gasp from you and Thor.
Cap scoffed. "Oh? You don't care about me? But I'm sure you care about Bruce right? Is he your boyfriend now?" You understood immediately that Cap was jealous but Nat was not having it. She looked almost as if she was ready to snap Cap's neck into two.
"Why are you even bringing him up? What does he have to do with this?" Nat lets go of the spatula before she walks towards Cap.
"Oh, we should probably go. This is not going to be a pretty sight" You said and pulled Thor away even with his complaints.
You got out of the kitchen and went to the living room, making Thor sit down beside you as you both wait for the pair to finish their arguing. Tony walks to the living room, yawning and still in his sweats. He was about to head to the kitchen when you and Thor stopped him.
"Don't" Thor and you chorused.
Tony turned to look at the two of you. "Why?" he asked.
"Nat and Cap are fighting. I don't think you want to go in there" you said.
"Jesus" Tony replied before sitting down beside Thor.
"How'd she make him mad? Goody two-shoes barely get mad" Tony said.
"I really don't know" you answered.
"I think it was quite amusing. We should've stayed there and watched" Thor said and gave a grin.
"Uh, not me. I like to stay away from lovers' quarrel" Tony said.
The kitchen door opened, and Cap came out looking distressed. He ran his fingers through his hair and sighed loudly. You, Tony, and Thor awkwardly watched him as Steve tries to calm himself. Eventually, Cap walked to the couch where everyone was sitting and plops down beside you, letting out another deep breath. "What are we doing here?" he asked.
"Uh, waiting for you, capsicle" Tony said.
"What happened there?" You asked and Cap gave a tired smile.
"I don't wanna explain it right now," he said and you nodded, understanding him.
"(y/n)" the door of the kitchen suddenly opened and Nat peeked, calling your name.
You turned your head before noticing the sour expression on Steve's face. "Yes?" you answered.
"Our breakfast is ready," she said and Tony stood up at the sound of breakfast.
"Uh, uh, uh, I only cooked for us ladies," Nat said, immediately stopping Tony in his tracks.
"You can cook for yourself if you want" You grinned, showing off a smug smile.
"How spoiled you are, Barmy," Tony said and you only rolled your eyes in response.
"I am her younger sister, of course, she's gonna spoil me," you said, sticking out your tongue at him which made Nat smile.
