Silence invaded the room for a few minutes. Nolan rubbed the phone against his palms and stared at Thor, waiting for him to leave, waiting for thunderous rage, waiting for anything to happen.

Finally, Thor spoke. "Your mother is quite a colorful person."

"That's one way to put it." Nolan buried his face in his hands.

Thor pulled him close. "She's well-intentioned but misguided."

"She's fucking crazy. Just say it."

"No, not crazy." Thor stroked Nolan's short hair. "Her sphere is tiny and she cannot understand anything beyond it, though you've long since passed its borders. She fears me because she fears for you."

Nolan didn't answer. He rubbed his nose against Thor's shoulder and shuddered. He should have turned his phone off. He should have shoved it in the drawer. No, he couldn't think that way. It happened the way it happened. Another shudder turned into a sob. Twin tears leaked onto Thor's shoulder and rolled down his divine form. Thor held him tighter and lay back on the bed, dragging his fingers up and down Nolan's back. For the rest of the afternoon, they only spoke in kisses and touches, but they couldn't finish what they started.
