who: bryn zethir, taako taaco, loki, thor odinson, kára styrdóttir what: bryn returns to riverview when: this week where: taako's house, bryn and thor's house warnings: will updated as needed
[When Bryn turns to show him the scar, Thor lets out an impressed hum. He feels a sting of anger for whoever harmed her, but he’s proud because he knows she fended them off.
His hand reaches out to run over the length of the scar and it makes something in him ache. It’s a needy little feeling he’s been ignoring in lieu of enjoying her company, but on the off chance she disappears again tomorrow he knows he’ll regret not acting on it. His hand traces back and forth and he leans in toward her, closing the distance between them so he can press his lips against her neck and kiss it hungrily.]
[Bryn has been resisting doing what she wanted almost immediately after Thor woke up and realized she was real. What she'd been hoping to do when she first arrived on their doorstep. They've kissed since her return but there's intimacy between them that they haven't renewed and...she was trying to be good. Trying to tell him everything and get it out of the way...
But his hands are warm over that scar tissue and the surrounding skin, and there's nothing in any blighted world that could convince her to tell him no when he comes closer and presses his mouth to the curve of her neck.
It's been eight very long months for her, and Bryn groans his name at once, hands reaching up behind her to slip into his hair and over the back of his neck.]
[With their words aside, Thor is glad to get onto something that they are very good at together. There will be plenty of time for talking, he's sure, but he wants to feel the kind of closeness he can't achieve through words.]
I've missed you far more.
[He promises, voice low and dark. His hands slide up her middle and front, squeezing her breasts in his hands. His stubble tickles against her neck and he lets out a breathy laugh.]
And I missed these too.
[He values the fact that they can be completely honest with each other.]
[She might argue with him over who missed who more, but it seems less important than the fact that they were both missed, that they're both happy to be there now. Eyes closing, she leans her back against his chest with a smile, hand drawing forward to cup one of his cheeks as the other drops to cover his hand. She responds with a low chuckle of her own, arching into his touch.]
The feeling is mutual.
[Enough so that she starts to reach for the hem of her shirt, intending to pull it up...then she pauses. Leans forward and grabs her phone off of the nightstand. From his vantage point he can no doubt see open a text message and address it to Taako and Loki.]
Thor is awake and well. Talk to you both later.
[She almost wrote "a few days" but...they'll probably guess as much, won't they?]
[Thor is watching the hem of her shirt intently, so he's surprised when she leans forward for her phone instead. He does glance over at the text, remembering that it was probably relatively concerning for the people around him that he had just collapsed for a few days.
Her mindfulness is, as ever, one of the many reasons why he's so taken with her. Once he's absolutely sure she's done writing, he wraps his arms around her middle and pulls her in close so that her back is to her chest. From behind is not the most romantic position for some, but personally Thor thinks it allows for more closeness. They're side by side and his hand slips between her thighs, rubbing her through her pants.]
[Even when they've been apart, they still seem to work well as a team in small things like this. Thor doesn't know what she's doing when she reaches for her phone but he accepts it, lets her do whatever she thinks is necessary...
Leaving her feeling in the free and clear to enjoy their reunion without anything hanging over their heads from that point on. Humming low at the back of her throat, she lets him pull her back against his body and half turns toward him. It's not a position that allows her to touch him easily, or kiss him, but while his hand slides between her legs she parts them further for him and strokes his arm.]
I think it was implied, considering what I had in mind when I first got here...
[She glances up at him, twisting further to face him, to look him in the eyes even with flushed cheeks.]
[Thor murmurs. It's easy to fall right back into their old routine. A little flirting and joking, running their hands over each other and lying in bed together. Bryn may not be able to touch him easily from this position, but Thor feels best when he can feel the warmth and shape of her body slotted perfectly against his.
His hand presses up between her thigh, fingers massaging between her legs while he watches her.]
[There was so much she meant to say. So much to tell him, months worth of stories and conversations and a bag full of things brought from home...
But it's all forgotten with his hands on her body, feeling him familiar and pressed to her back once more. She sighs, eyes closing as she sinks into the feeling--but not content to simply touch she twists around to face him.]
I should make you anyway...
[Her lips curve up slightly as she looks up at him once more, hands sliding up his body to wrap around his neck. She uses the weight of her body to try and press him back against the headboard.]
But I think I could be persuaded to let you off the hook this time.
[She's missed him too much, missed feeling him next to her and the intimacy they share. Hugs from friends and family have only served to make her all the more touch-starved now that she's here and he's awake.]

Did you tell them not to expect you for days?
[He asks, even if he saw exactly what she wrote.]

Or you could just tell me one thing?
