Honest to the gods, Darcy didn't know Loki did modeling in his free time. It really wasn't her fault that he happened to be the centerfold for that month's Playgirl magazine. At least he had his back to the photographer while looking over his shoulder.
Actually, that wasn't a good thing; she was behind denied the full view of a god that was clearly very well hung. (She wondered for a second how he and Thor compared in sizes...maybe she could discreetly later by comparing photos.)
But at least his butt was cute.
"Lady Darcy! What form of reading has caught your attention so?"
Darcy froze as she felt Thor's looming presence over her shoulder. Shitshitshit. How was she going to explain her way out of this one? She should've known better than to take out her magazines even in while alone in Jane and Erik's lab. Figures she'd get interrupted.
There was a long silence between them both and Darcy made a move to refold the centerfold when Thor's hand grabbed hers.
"...is that my brother?" He finally asked incredulously.
Darcy wondered if she could lie, but as she glanced back down at that mischievous little smirk and those knowing green eyes, she realized her chances of fooling Thor were slim to none.
"Er...looks like it." Man, this was awkward.
"Were you looking at my brother's buttocks this whole time?"
"...well not the whole time, but-"
"Do you like what you see, Lady Darcy?"
Darcy's brain shut down for a second before slowly rebooting. Did she just hear what she thought she heard? Darcy craned her neck upward to see Thor grinning back down at her. She gaped.
As if taking pity on her, Thor let go and moved around to sit opposite of her, the smile still in place.
"He has very fine buttocks, doesn't he?"
Darcy blushed, not sure what to say to that. Hell, was she even awake? No way Thor would be sitting here having a chat with her over his brother's ass. No way.
When Jane finally returned two hours later, she found Thor and Darcy with their heads together, muttering and giggling (Thor was giggling?) over something.
Approaching them, she saw that it was a magazine. Upon closer inspection, she flinched back, causing Thor to look up and grin.
"Ah, Lady Jane! Come and look at this with us. It is truly extraordinary how skilled your Midgardian technologies are in capturing the very beauty that is my brother and his buttocks."
Jane wasn't sure what to say to that, but before she knew it, she was at the table with Thor and Darcy looking at the centerfold of Playgirl and she had to admit, Thor's brother did have a cute butt.
