Anyways thor called heimdall his best friend which only enhances my belief that heimdall was also thor’s first crush and had to deal with pubescent/teenage thor constantly pestering him about slutty stars and which foreign planets are the sexiest and following him around and asking randomly @ the sky “heimdall are u watching??? Look at this!!” And then he picks loki up and throws him like a javelin at the olympics, and poses.
And at first heimdall feels kind of awkwardly bemused about the whole thing, and he suffers through thor’s silly enamoration in silence until finally thor is old enough that heimdall can gently let him down, and thor takes it well of course, laughs it off and shakes his head at himself and clasps heimdall’s shoulder saying he still considers him his friend. And then he goes on to have some flings and actual relationships and adventures around the galaxy, and heimdall sort of forgets about the fact that thor used to have a crush on him back when he was like 350yo or whatever. And they actually become really good friends? And thor still visits heimdall out by the bifrost and pesters him about other worlds, and heimdall still keeps an eye on him when he’s away, which happens more and more as he grows up. But then thor starts spending most of his time on earth with jane, and heimdall gets too busy to check in on him regularly.
And then one day thor comes back from earth, fresh from a battle with the avengers, looking more grown up and rugged than ever, standing tall and sure of himself with a full beard and broad shoulders, l’oreal hair and chanel cape blowing in the wind as he walks over to him with a wide grins and says “heimdall! I have some questions about declentions in the tree language!” And heimdall thinks Oh Damn.
