Waking up feeling warm wasn't something Loki was used to. Nothing was warm enough for him to sleep with that wouldn't burn his skin, or the bed for that matter. He was also, a light sleeper so basically, sleeping fully was hard. So he was surprised when he woke up and felt someone pressed up against him. Someone warm. He turned slightly and found Darcy curled up against him. Her brown hair had pooled around her head and covered most of her face, the ends slightly moving from her breath. Loki blinked in surprise 'why was Darcy in his bed?' It wasn't that he didn't like the young mortal, it's just not something he thought humans did. He was weighing his options when she shifted and her hand grabbed his sleeve, tugging on it gently. The sudden contact had made him flinch instinctively but her hands were kind and simple. Warm. So he decided to leave her be and allow her sleep.

"Darcy, are you ok?" Loki said as she coughed from the other side of the room. She gleaned over to him "I'm fine, just a cough" "hmmmmm" he said in disbelief "come here". He moved over so she could sit next to him on the couch and put the back of his hand to her forehead "Darcy, you have a fever, your sick" he said to her. She pouted "but I'm fine really, it's just really, really warm..." she looked away "yeah ok, I guess I'm sick". Loki smiled "you agreeing so quickly kind of gave that away, you need to keep cool". Darcy tapped her finger on her cheek, thinking "ok, stand up" she said finally "what? why?" Loki asked. She stood and tried to pulled him up "just do it Loki". He stood up and instantly Darcy wrapped her hands round him, pressing her face onto his chest "umm D-Darcy" he said, blushing "what are you doing?" She hummed "I need to stay cool right?" Loki sighed. He didn't really like it when he was reminded he was half Frost Giant but Darcy seemed to forget how much it stung and so he kind of tried to push past it. Rolling his eyes, Loki also gave her a small smile "just because I'm cold to touch doesn't mean you can use me when ever you want..." he said. Darcy didn't move, instead she nuzzled him and Loki couldn't be bothered to push her away "at least let me sit down".
