I hope this isn't too fluffy! Thank you for all the favourites and alerts. Please review so I know I'm not a hack. I own nothing :)

Darcy had a routine for getting ready to face the day. When her God forsaken alarm went off she plugged in her earphones and listened to some blood pumping music to wake her up. Then was the customary shower in her en suite, while listening to her iPod through her speakers. Then getting dressed and quickly checking Tumblr to see if anything interesting happened while she was asleep other than hilarious gifs of Tony Stark and a shitload of Doctor Who fandom.

So after her interesting night on the roof with Loki, Darcy finished her routine and wandered into the kitchen to find Thor on the rampage for coffee filters. IT appeared the God of Thunder had fallen prey to caffeine addiction like the rest of the civilised world.

"Good morning starshine."

"Morning Darcy. Where are the damn filters?"

"Cupboard on the left. What we making this morning?"

"Figure that out after coffee" Thor was not a happy bunny before his first fix.

Darcy had taken it upon herself to teach Thor some basic breakfast making skills. Every morning they'd meet in the kitchen and cook for themselves, Jane and Loki, even though Loki would have to have his taken to him. These mornings were always paired with the radio and making general fools of themselves.

Thor started on the eggs, which had become his specialty, while Darcy started making the batter for waffles.

"So what did you and my brother get up to last night?" Darcy stopped mid-stir and turned her head towards Thor's smirking face, the same smirk as his brother.

"You saw us?"

"I came looking for you to show you something I found on that YouTube you like so much but when I saw that you'd gotten him out of his damn shell I didn't want to ruin it."

Thor loved his brother. Even through everything that happened on Asgard and even discovering they weren't brothers by birth he would never stop loving his little brother. It was through Thor's insistence that Loki was given a position at S.H.I.E.L.D even if it was as menial as data processing and library research.

"Well if I saw him looking so damn miserable one more day I was gonna start crying myself!"

Thor placed his hand on Darcy's shoulder, "Thank you Darcy. I don't think he much wants to talk to me and I don't want him to be lonely."

Seeing Thor look vulnerable made Darcy's gut sting, "Jesus grow a pair will ya."

Jane had a knack for knowing when to go into the kitchen and food would be on the table. While stopping to tie her shoes she heard Thor and Darcy, instead of their usual rendition of Fat Bottomed Girls she heard them talk about Loki. No matter how angry she was at Loki, Thor loved him and she loved Thor.

"Well well if it isn't the gruesome twosome."

"Morning Jane" they said in unison, "Today we got waffles, eggs and bacon."

"Any chance there's enough for four?"

The trio all turned their heads in unison and shock. Loki stood there in a simple shirt and trousers and a wide-eyed expression. Not once in the three months he'd been living and working at the facility had he wilfully joined in with anything.

There was a dumbfounded pause until Darcy remembered about her waffles, "Shit!"

Loki sat himself down trying to look natural.

"So what's everyone doing today?" thank whoever is up there Loki hadn't lost his silver tongue since everyone else had been stricken mute.

"Well I have a meeting with Fury which is going to last most of the day." Thor couldn't look less pleased if he tried.

"I have a meeting with Coulson about funding and god knows what else." Jane had her game-face on, she was clearly going to test how much she could squeeze out of Coulson since she needed new equipment.

"Well I need to go to Wal-Mart for groceries and then type up the notes from those damn meetings you two are so fond of."

"Wow I have been missing on all the fun haven't I?" Loki almost felt pleased his job was so dull, otherwise it would be filled with all these meetings and other tedious actions. At least Darcy was getting out for an hour or so.

Jane and Thor went their separate ways and that left Loki and Darcy in a comfortable silence.

"So what do you have to do today?" Darcy started to load the dishwasher and Loki found himself admiring her curves for the second time in as many days.

"Mostly reading case studies in the library. Nothing too interesting."

Darcy suddenly slammed the dishwasher door shut and whirled around with a slightly insane grin on her face.

"Let's go do something!"

"Like..."

"No idea. I'll drive and we just go and do something that doesn't involve S.H.I.E.L.D."

"What about your work?"

"Screw it I have no life I'll do it this weekend." Loki raised his eyebrows, "Anyway I thought you were the God of Mischief, live a little."

"Oh I'll give you mischief human." Loki stood to his full height and gave Darcy a grin that made her want to know if their was any truth behind the myths.

"So the one where you cut off Sif's hair?" Darcy was animated at the fact Loki was actually revealing some stories.

"True, she went crazy." Loki smirked at the memory of Sif waking up with her hair no longer attached to her head.

"Wow remind me never to piss you off."

"Duly noted"

They sat in one of the diners at Cliff's Amusement Park after a day of log flumes, roller coasters and their bodyweight in cotton candy. Loki had never been to a carnival since the 20's and the rides were a lot bigger and more brash then he remembered it.

"You know it was me and the Fitzgerald's at this street fair in Paris and all they had was a Ferris wheel, a merry-go-round and those stalls where you knock stuff down for cheap toys."

"You went to a carnival with Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald?" Darcy was almost finding his stories too ridiculous to really be taken seriously but the way he told them said different. He wasn't name dropping or trying to sound big and important he was simply stating facts.

Loki went on to win her a stuffed elephant wearing a waistcoat and jacket which he thought looked ridiculous. Then they went through a dull ghost train, something that went upside down before getting soaked by going on the log flumes for a second time. Darcy insisted on buying the photo of them the second they'd gotten engulfed in water. A warning rang out that the park would be closing and they trudged their wet selves back to Darcy's truck and back to S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Holy shit if I don't get these clothes off soon I'm gonna die of hypothermia." Darcy ran to her room leaving Loki with the thought of her getting out of her clothes. He went to his room, a few doors down from Darcy's, and pealed his wet shirt from his body… and realised that he had no clean shirts.

Thor mentioned something about a specific day to wash clothes.

He groaned at his bad luck. It was late in the evening so he supposed the laundry would be done by now, but just to check he strolled to Darcy's room. Being ignorant to most Earth customs he opened her bedroom door without knocking just as she herself peeled off her own soaked t-shirt.

"Sorry!" if it hadn't been for Loki's outburst Darcy would have been none the wiser about him being there, what with her head stuck in her shirt and her back to him. Loki could have snuck out and made his presence known before walking into her room. But since neither of those things happened Darcy turned towards his voice, tripped over her hairdryer and fell on her ass, somehow managing to smack her funny bone on the way. From her undignified sprawled position on the floor she forced her shirt back down and noticed the God in her bedroom; the topless, lean but muscular, dashing God of Mischief.

Her face flushed as Loki helped her up and kept asking if she was alright and if she needed anything even though he didn't really know where anything was.

He explained his clothes situation while Darcy tried to look him in his ridiculously green eyes instead of his abs before leading him to the wash closet where the clothes were kept after they got washed.

"You been rifling through my DVD's again?" Darcy was determined to act normal around Loki even though she'd seen him topless and now whenever she saw him there would be a slight twinge of disappointment. The credits for Easy A had just started so she sat down on the couch to enjoy it.

Out of nowhere Loki produced two toffee apples and they munched and watched Emma Stone basically becoming Darcy's hero. Loki even laughed a few times.

"So she lies about having sex and everyone hates her?"

"Yeah people are douchebags in high school." Darcy learnt that from personal experience, being a stereotypical loner for a majority of high school with the exception of about four of five people who didn't completely shun her because she didn't shop at Abercrombie & Fitch and preferred to watch Doctor Who reruns on weekends.

"Speaking of personal experience?" Loki looked genuinely curious.

"Another story for another time."

"You'll have to tell me soon these stories are mounting up."

"Maybe this weekend. Thor and Jane are off for some romantic bullshit mini-break so I'll have plenty of time to bore you senseless."

"You can do it while we catch up on what work we missed today. The boredom of data processing and the supposed boredom of your stories might just put me into a coma though." Loki smirked as he always did when he had a smart comment to make.

Darcy got up and headed to her room, "Goodnight Loki."

"Sweet dreams Darcy."

She went to sleep wondering if she'd heard him correctly, and he went to sleep just thinking of her.
