I only wish I hadn’t waited till the last minute to get it done completely lmao (I wanted it to be good, but short and sweet)
MASTERLIST
To you, your size was a very touchy subject.
You always ignored the fact that many women with your complexion were supposed to have an hourglass figure.
And your size wasn’t usually a problem. Some days, you were confident in your size, telling yourself that you were just the right amount of thick.
But tonight, was different.
It was late and you didn’t want to go to Tony’s party. Your dress didn’t hold you the same way it did when you first bought it and, from one negative thought to the next, you found yourself pouting in the mirror, your sight blurred from the tears in your eyes.
“Y/N, my magnificent—” Thor walks out the bathroom with his suit hastily thrown on and his tie wrapped in his hands. He stops short when he sees your teary-eyed reflection.
He quickly makes his way to you. “My love, is everything alright?”
“I’m fine, I was just thinking.” You wave him off, turning away to compose yourself.
Thor, automatically sensing the truth, stands between you and the mirror and gently brings your chin up. “(Y/n).”
Suddenly, as if his tender actions had unraveled your discontent, you feel your shoulders shake with involuntary sobs.
“My love, please talk to me.”
You motion silently to your attire, glowering at your form. “It’s—”
His eyes flit down to your torso, searching for a wound of some sort. “It’s what?”
You huff and motion again to yourself. “I’m—” He raises his eyebrows, waiting for you to continue. “I’m not as thin as these other women! Okay? This pinche dress looked absolutely amazing on my figure a few weeks ago and I must’ve gained weight or something because now, I’m just gorda all in my arms and my shoulders—”
Thor pulls you close to your chest and your complaints and arguments are muffled against his large chest. “My dear, you are being dramatic. You look absolutely stunning.”
You pull away from his chest, hiding your tear stained face and sobbing silently. “No, Thor. I don’t. I look terrible. I can’t compete with the other women out there! They’re all taller and hairless and their hair defies all laws of physics!”
He smiles softly at you and waits a moment, “Are you finished?”
When you huff and mutter under your breath in spanish, he wraps his arms around you and gives you a sober look in the eyes. “I don’t know why this is so important to you, but I want you to know that there is no other woman out there that could ever be any better than you are. You are a charming, intelligent woman who remembers her roots and has immense love for everyone around you. Except for yourself.
“(Y/n), I want you to understand that loving yourself is the greatest revolution, and that it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks of you because you owe yourself that privilege.”
When you didn’t look up at him, Thor was worried he had said something wrong. “My love?”
You quickly jump into his arms and bury your wet face against the crook of his neck, smelling the cologne on his neck.
It was perfect, really.
To have his large arms around your body and whisper soothing encouragements until your eyes no longer looked puffy and you were ready to walk out the door with your newly found confidence was something you were probably always going to be grateful for.
The party was amazing. You had never been so full of love for yourself as much as you had been that night. There were drinks and gambling. All part of Tony’s charm.
And at the end of the night, you were left with your loving God of Thunder.
