It was a hot summer. I was still sorting Jane's files into the right order and sighed. Jane refused to let me get some ice cream. I'm sure it's just because she wants to finish off her work fast, in order to spend some time with her pumped-up-action-man-figured lover , Thor. I hopelessly heaved my head to look at the clock. It was 9 past 10, and I could see the sun descending shyly. I sighed once again and shrieked as I heard Jane yell. I looked up and turned around in a fast manner. ''Jane?'' I whispered as I stood up. I could hear someone's voice echoing throughout the grey and steel hallways. My flip-flops clacked as I walked silently towards the door. Eaves dropping had always been a bad habit of mine, I did feel like an awesome spy though.
'' Thor, you know we can't!''
'' Love, I cannot leave my brother in such a torturous situation '' he whispered, yet having a very strict unfamiliar tone to his voice. Sure his brother meant the world to him, but I've never heard him talk in such a way towards Jane, he seemed very desperate. I wondered what they were arguing about and stepped closer to the door.
'' Fine! But if you bring him here, I am gone! '' she harshly shouted. Somehow I knew she'd feel guilty about saying that. Thor was silent, and I could hear Jane stomping away. I heard Thor's heavy footsteps go louder as he approached the door. I hurriedly ran away and tried to hide in the bathroom, but I fell onto my butt instead. Good riddance, Darce. Thor walked out and he looked at me. '' Lady Darcy, are you alright?'' he said as he extended his strong muscular arm, somehow making me blush slightly. I know, I know, he loves Jane, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the view right? '' Thanx big guy'' I said as he helped me up. I was glad he didn't start asking me about why I was standing next to the door. I noticed his sad expression, and somehow he reminded me of a sad puppy whose mom denied to give him milk anymore. Ok, ok, that might be far-fetched. He just looked extremely sad. Figures, he just had a fight with his lover.
I decided to comfort him, and patted his shoulder. He looked at me; his deep blue eyes seemed glassy as he pouted slightly. Oh god, I hope he is not going to cry, I can't stand big guys crying.
You know the itchy feeling of curiosity? Like everyone knows about a certain thing, and you don't and you want to find out that bad? ''What happened?'' I asked, acting as if I've heard nothing. He sighed softly, relaxing his tensed muscles as he started to speak: '' I asked Jane permission if we could keep my brother here '' he simply stated. My eyes widened up a bit, and I pushed my glasses up the bridge of my nose as I coughed. '' You mean like, Loki? '' I asked. It was unbelievable for Thor to want his psychopathic brother at the same apartment he and Jane were living in. '' Yes '' he answered, his eyes obviously disregarding the look on my face. '' My brother surely did things wrong in the past, but he changed for the better!'' he said, trying to defend his hopeless brother. I was surprised by the volume of his words, and I could see his apologetic look. I get it, the dude wants someone to agree with him. No one believes that Loki is a good man at all. Loki is like the bad guy in a comic, of course no one wants him to be around. '' Thor, I understand that you, as his big bro and all finds him innocent, but he did kill a hell lot of people you know? ''
'' … He is adopted ''
'' Thor…''
'' I understand, Lady Darcy, however I can assure you that my brother would never harm anyone ever again! This dude really is able to convince people. He looks so nice and innocent that I feel so sad inside.
'' So he needs a place to stay?'' I asked, scratching the back of my head thoughtfully. He nodded and suddenly I saw his eyes sparkling while he looked at me. I started to regret the words I've said already.
So, here I am now. Waiting for Thor's psychopathic brother, Loki. He is going to arrive in 30 minutes, and I finished preparing his room. I live in an apartment, similar to Jane's, also designated to me by S.H.I.E.L.D. I looked upwards and watched the clock tick. I have no idea how I am supposed to live with a serial-killer; however, Thor assured me that Loki's powers have been sealed at the moment. Only Odin could remove the seal. It did not make me feel any calmer though. The dude's got a silver tongue, everyone knows I was thinking, the clock ticked by, soon enough 30 minutes had passed by. I heard a rhythmical knock on the door and I opened the door with a smile. I hated to look at stuff negatively so yeah, however, as soon as I saw Loki's pale face the negativity had hit me.
'' Lady Darcy! Meet my brother Loki! '' Thor beamed. It was nice to see the dude happy, and I totally love his smile. However I could feel something ominous was going to happen. Loki looked up; his bright green eyes were staring at me. '' Nice to meet you, Darth Vader '' I said while extending my hand. He heaved his head slightly, as if he tried to show he was ranked above me, and walked past me, my hand still in the air. I heard Thor panic slightly as he followed his retarded brother inside. '' Brother, it is very rude to leave a woman's hand in the air, you should thank Lady Darcy's hospitality!'' he said, waving his arms slightly as he spoke. Loki walked on, and he directly walked into the room. Not his room, but mine. ''Wait—'' I tried to call out to him that he had gotten into the wrong room. Thor sighed deeply and turned back to me. '' Lady Darcy, I'm terribly sorry to put my brother's care onto your shoulders. But do please believe that you can ask me for help anytime, for I am eternally grateful to you. You have put my brother Loki out of the torturous situation he was in at Asgard'' he said while bowing slightly. My heart felt tight as he did so. I don't have the heart to tell him that I don't want to do this. He appreciates it so much, and would be so damn disappointed if I told him I wouldn't want to do it anymore.
After a while, Thor left, having dropped Loki's baggage into my apartment and I dropped myself onto my couch. I wonder what Loki was doing in my room right now. I didn't clean it up at all. And then it had hit me; I had left my underwear and bra's laid down on my bed, and that's when I heard the door slam open. '' Is this supposed to be a joke, mortal? '' he said, his eyebrow twitching slightly as he showed one of my favourite laced bra's. I felt my cheeks turn red at the sight and snapped: '' You entered the wrong room, Vader!''. He raised his eyebrow at the word 'Vader' and dropped my bra onto the ground. '' Now, show me to my room'' he demanded. I squinted my eyes as I stood there, and realised; he was not going to apologise at all. I decided to swallow my pride, thus I showed him his room, and left him in front of the door.
It was late in the evening as I finished watching some random documentary on National Geographic. I walked towards the bathroom and casually walking in, not knowing I was going to do something I was going to regret for a while.
A long while.
