Keep Me Warm - Thor/Black!Reader
The infamous one bed trope ….hi guys 🫣
Summary: After traveling for a group event, curtesy of Tony, you and Thor are stuck in a hotel room with not only one bed but no heat.
When Thor pushed open the door, everything looked as kosher and posh.
Until you walked further in.
The plush carpet muffled your footsteps as you explored further, admiring the elegant decor that adorned the walls. The bed itself was massive, draped in luxurious linens that hinted at comfort beyond imagination, but the sheer fact of its singularity made you uneasy.
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” You mutter, your nose turning up slightly. The last thing you needed was this.
Thor's eyes widened as he took in the sight before him. “Surely, there must be some mistake,” he grumbled, the deep timbre of his voice betraying his displeasure. His broad shoulders tensed, and he crossed his arms, muscles bulging slightly beneath the fabric of his shirt.
He glanced at you, his expression a mix of frustration and concern. “I shall speak to the manager at once. This arrangement is hardly suitable,” Thor declared, already moving towards the door with determined strides.
But as he reached for the handle, you placed a hand on his arm, stopping him. “Thor, it’s late. Let’s just make the best of it for tonight,” you said, trying to be pragmatic despite the uncomfortable situation. There was a moment of silence as he considered your words, then he sighed deeply, nodding in reluctant agreement.
“Very well,” he conceded, though his furrowed brow made it clear he was far from happy.
The evening continued with an unspoken tension hanging in the air as you and Thor went about your routines. Taking turns, you each showered, the warm water offering a temporary reprieve from the awkwardness of your predicament.
As Thor busied himself with preparing the bed, carefully arranging the pillows and smoothing out the linens, you turned your attention to the thermostat. The room, though elegant, was starting to feel a bit too chilly for comfort. Frowning, you fiddled with the controls, trying to coax some warmth into the space.
"Is it working?" Thor asked, glancing over his shoulder as he fluffed a pillow. The concern in his voice mirrored your own unease.
"I'm not sure," you admitted, biting your lip in frustration. "It doesn't seem to be responding."
Thor paused, his brow furrowing deeper as he watched you struggle with the thermostat. "Perhaps it is faulty," he suggested, stepping closer to inspect it himself. "If only I had my hammer, I could—"
You couldn't help but chuckle at the image of Thor summoning Mjolnir to fix a simple thermostat. "I'm not sure smashing it would help," you teased, earning a faint smile from him.
Together, you both tried various settings, but the heat remained stubbornly absent. With a resigned sigh, you gave up, rubbing your arms to ward off the cold. "Looks like we're stuck with this, too."
You hesitated, hovering at the bedside, your apprehension palpable. Thor’s voice gently broke the silence, but there was a noticeable strain in his tone. “Please, get in first,” he offered, gesturing to the neatly arranged side.
With a hesitant nod, you slipped under the covers, the cold fabric a stark reminder of the room's chill. Thor followed suit, carefully maintaining a noticeable distance, his broad form teetering close to the edge of the mattress. The silence that ensued was thick, punctuated only by the muffled sounds of the night beyond the window.
Minutes passed in stillness, each of you lost in your thoughts, the awkwardness was almost suffocating. It wasn't long before Thor sensed your slight, involuntary shivers. He turned his head, concern once again etched on his features. "You’re cold," he stated, though his voice was tight, it was tinged with hesitation. You shake your head, humming in denial, shifting minutely.
Without a word, he shifted closer, wrapping his arm around you, pulling you gently towards the warmth of his chest.
You tensed at first, your muscles rigid against the unexpected warmth. Thor seemed to sense your discomfort, giving you a minute of silent reassurance. He then huffed softly, the sound almost a chuckle, and murmured, "Relax. I promise, I don't bite."
His attempt at humor was disarming, and slowly you felt the tension in your body begin to ease. The shivers that had plagued you started to lessen, replaced by a growing warmth that radiated from Thor's embrace. You let out a small, hesitant sigh, allowing yourself to sink a little deeper into the comfort of his presence.
Thor seemed to settle as well, his breath slowing to a steady rhythm. He tightened his hold on you, his large hand splayed gently across your back, providing a sense of security that was both surprising and comforting. The scent of him—earthy and faintly metallic—filled your senses, lulling you into a state of tranquility.
"Thank you," you whispered, your voice barely audible in the quiet room. Thor's response was a soft hum of acknowledgment, his fingers tracing soothing patterns on your back.
The tension that had hung so heavily in the air began to dissipate, replaced by a tentative peace.
As morning rose, you stirred, slowly awakening to the sensation of warmth beneath you. As your eyes fluttered open, you realized you were sprawled across Thor's chest, his arm still securely wrapped around you.
The rise and fall of his steady breathing was a comforting rhythm, lulling you back to the edge of sleep. His presence was solid and reassuring, a stark contrast to the tension of the previous night. You could feel the slow, steady beat of his heart beneath your palm, grounding you in the reality of the moment.
Careful not to disturb him, you shifted slightly, lifting your head to get a better look at his face. His features were relaxed in sleep, the usual lines of worry and tension smoothed away, leaving him looking peaceful and almost boyish. The morning light highlighted the golden hues of his hair, making it seem to shimmer faintly.
For a moment, you simply watched him, marveling at the unexpected intimacy of the situation.
You let out a soft, contented sigh, allowing yourself to savor the warmth and closeness. The world beyond the room could wait; for now, you were content to simply be here, enveloped in Thor's embrace.
