TW- Major Character Death
Peter Quill is a prince who would inherit a throne to the Xandar kingdom in a few weeks. . However, he didn't act like a prince at all- he liked to mess with commoners' life, steal at the market, and break young girls' hearts. Such behavior began when Peter lost his parents- first his mother at the hand of the illness and then his father in the war just a year later.
One day the council had enough of his shenanigans and ordered Thor Odinson, the head of the guard, to always keep an eye on Peter. Both men weren't happy at first. Peter didn't like that Thor was uptight and brooding, while Thor couldn't stand Quill's foolishness and child-like behavior.
Almost every day they would pick a fight, which always led to Thor eyeing Peter angrily and Quill making snarky remarks at Odinson throughout the day. One day, when Thor was accompanying Peter in the city, the prince managed to run away. The head of the guard was looking for a prince all day, worrying that something might happen to him. However, Thor wasn't worrying as a friend or a guard. He was worrying as someone who lost his love.
As the night was approaching, Thor finally spotted the prince. Peter was sitting at the roof of someone else's house. Quill didn't look at Thor when he got on the roof and sat next to him. When Odinson asked why Quill was sitting here, the prince felt as he can tell Thor everything- what has been bothering him, eating him from the inside. Peter told Thor that he still thinks about his parents, that he should have done something to keep them alive. He told Thor that he never wanted the crown, this kingdom. The life of royalty was suffocating him.
As Thor was listening to his prince, he remembered his family- family that he lost as well. He as well blamed himself that he didn't do anything to save them. Odinson didn't say anything after Quill's confession, he just took his hand as a sign of understanding. They spend the whole night on that roof in comforting silence, never letting go of each other's hand.
Every night they repeated this- just sitting on a roof and talking. During their talks, they learned more about each other. These nights brought Peter and Thor closer together. One night, Peter couldn't lie to himself anymore- he knew he had fallen for the head of the guard, for his protector. That's why he decided to kiss Thor, who kissed Peter back immediately. It was their little promise of something more.
It was coronation day and Thor was already waiting for Peter outside his door. For some reason, Odinson got worried. Quill wasn't coming out of his room for a long time. As Odinson opened Peter's door, his heart broke into pieces. The prince was lying on the floor, goblet of wine lying next to Quill. Thor immediately ran to Peter, checking his pulse- Peter Quill, the only heir to the throne, was dead. Thor couldn't stop the tears that were streaming down his face. With shaky hands, he examined the bottle of wine on the table- the smell of poison coming from it. Same with the goblet of wine next to Peter. Feeling exhausted, Thor fell to the floor and cradled Quill's body. He fought about drinking the wine so he could reunite with his lost love. However, Odinson had a better idea. He was going to avenge Peter, kill every person that had something to do with Quill's death.
It's been 3 years since Peter Quill's death. It's also been 3 years since Thor Odinson started his hunt. Right now, he was coming back to the kingdom with his last victim's head. He finally avenged Peter's death. Even though he did that, he became an outlaw that everyone feared. Now, everyone wasn't addressing him as Thor Odinson but as God of Thunder. The man that struck his victims unexpectedly with his axe and was never merciful towards his enemies.
