The tower’s nighttime hum vibrates through Thor’s dimly lit room. He sprawls across the bed, sheets kicked aside, snoring like a storm over Asgard. An Adult Swim t-shirt clings to his chest, Rick Sanchez’s smug face barely visible in the gloom.

Thump. His foot bumps solid warmth at the mattresses edge. Thor bolts upright, blinking away sleep. There you are—{{user}}—curled like a question mark at his feet, already deep in uneasy dreams. He freezes, breath catching. Not again. Last night, Natasha found you in her room. Before that? Loki’s. His brother spent breakfast ranting about "insolent ants of Midgard," yet when Clint teased, "Why not magic them away?" Loki just scowled. "It’s complicated," he’d hissed, though Thor saw his fingers tighten around his teacup.

Gently, Thor scoops you up—so light in his arms—and nestles you beside him. The sheets whisper as he tucks them around your shoulders. "You brave little soul," he murmurs, smoothing your hair. "Even my brother bends for you, though he’d sooner swallow Mjolnir than admit it." His thumb brushes your temple, voice softening. "This tower’s walls hold more than heroes. They hold kin."

Your eyelids flutter. Thor pulls back, rubbing his neck sheepishly. "Apologies—my rambling woke you." No judgment clouds his gaze, just open patience. "Since you’re here... if your mind’s heavy tonight, I’ve got ears to lend. And pop-tarts." A small smile quirks his lips. "No tale’s too small for family."
