The car ride was horribly awkward and uncomfortable for Loki at least. The strange cars these humans used were no good compared to Look's horse and they went far too quickly, Darcy thought Loki's face almost went the shade of his tie. All Darcy did the entire drive was roll her eyes at the two love birds in the front who wouldn't stop flirting and laughing it really reminded her of some cheesy movie they played on a channel all day long, she'd rather talk to the annoying God than watch those two.
Luckily Loki was just as disgusted and looked almost scared at his brother's change in personality and he seemed gentle instead of the big-headed, selfish brother he had known. How strange a human would change his brother, a mere mortal. Of course, the Lady Jane was pretty maybe even beautiful but he didn't understand why Thor looked like he'd risk all realms for her, or bother staying on Misgard with her.
He had enough of watching his bewitched brother and slanted his eyes to the other human in the car who was obviously envious of the two, or maybe just disgusted he couldn't tell. Darcy was staring at the pair emotionlessly and still despite the music blaring out of those ''earphones'' she used he could tell she could hear them just fine, he watched her silently and noticed the strange glassy look to her eyes and the tear that stained her cheek.
Loki felt something in that moment and he had no idea what it was, it felt like someone had ripped his entire chest apart taking out his heart and replacing it with a million stinging bee's. He struggled to stop wondering why the mortal was crying over the pair, she did not like Thor like that he was certain of it he was only ''eyecandy'' to her and Jane was he assumed like a sister to her. Her eyes flickered with an emotion and he knew it all too well, envy and sorrow. Well now maybe the human was like him in a way.
The car suddenly stopped pulling up to a restaurant type place Darcy had told him about, ''milione di volte'' the large sign read and he could see into the place for the glass windows were un-curtained. A large black table was surrounded with men in suits sitting and laughing, it vaguely reminded him of Asgard where they would have huge feasts on a table though the Misgardian's ate quite differently to Loki's people.
A strange melody of knocking on the car's door woke him from his trance and he glanced out the window to see Darcy standing there with an expectant look and he pursed his lips opening the door and stepping out, he felt her hair brush against his arm as he did so. Thor and Jane stepped out afterwards and Darcy coughed and muttered something under her breathe like:
''Oh finally stopped sucking faces, huh?'' Loki's lips tugged at the corners upward at that, she looked quite tiny compared to himself wrapped in a black coat. Jane and Thor's laughter interrupted their brief stare and Jane was beckoning them to come forward while holding onto Thor's arm with a pretty smile, the two pair's were the exact opposite to eachother and Darcy just wished she could disappear.
Loki sighed raking a hand through his hair roughly and shaking his head at his brother never had he imagined the almighty Thor would be reduced to wearing a human-suit for his human lady to dine in a very human place. Loki leant out his arm to Darcy which she instinctively shrunk away from biting her lip, she made her eyes remain on the ground and didn't see Loki's offended, almost hurt look.
''..Is that not custom here, Human?'' Loki questioned glancing back from Darcy's bowed head to Jane and Thor's stance which looked similar he frowned, Darcy let out a forced nervous laugh and tugged on her hair a little.
''Um yeah Mischief but how's about we just walk together instead, besides it's kinda' old fashioned anyways.'' Darcy said awkwardly already starting to walk ahead biting down on her lip hard and a scarlet blush forming on her cheeks for once, Loki followed her slowly into the warm Restaurant where the hit of disgusting human food hit him.
''Relax.'' Darcy said for the thousandth time that night, of course being Loki's ''saviour'' meant she had to sit right next to the God of Mischief on the right side of the black table they'd been escorted to by the staff. Kevin was sitting almost directly infront of her and she could not stop drooling, he had tousled brown hair with green eyes and a slight smear of freckles across his nose and he managed to look like some highschool athlete.
Darcy eyed the man beside him and pursed her lips, he was an aging man and he was almost bald she almost wished she hadn't worn the dress after all. Thor, Jane and the entire table were having a conversation whilst Loki, Darcy and the old pervert were busy with other things. Loki had his hand on the table tapping his fingers in a rhythm one at a time staring out at the blank grey wall at the end of the Restaurant, this was madness to put him in a place like this he could feel himself becoming insane.
''Finally!'' Darcy exclaimed turning away from the man next to her to look at the food coming her way and laughed a little at Loki's grunt, she looked at him out of the corner of her eye and flicked her tongue along the inside of her mouth boredly.
''You know, our food is better than yours.'' Darcy teased looking at the plate now infront of her and at his, she glanced up at the rest of the table which had silenced and staring wide eyed at the pair not understanding what she meant, she stuttered and her mouth closed up and she looked around helplessly.
''She means restaurant food, Loki here used to own a restraunt, right Darcy?'' Jane hissed at her and Darcy bit her lip kicking Loki's foot so he wouldn't come up with some sarcastic retort and he held back the urge to twist her arm around. The pair glared at eachother for what seemed like forever until Kevin broke the silence coughing and gazing at Darcy.
''So..Darcy, you still Jane's assistant?'' Kevin asked with a grin and Darcy left Loki to fend for himself and smirked at Kevin rolling her eyes.
''Sorta, yeah. Why, you want my job- oh wait I've got to get this. I'll be back.'' Darcy said putting up a finger, her phone was buzzing loudly and her eyes were wide, she got up and left the restaurant suddenly and no one though anything of it except Loki. The humans he sat by were nothing but boring and not even the least bit curious or with as much and they began to talk about mindless things he had no interest in.
He sat there for what seemed like eternity until the annoying little human returned with a smirk on her lips though her eyes looked afraid and wary. She slipped into her seat glancing at the cup of water boredly watching it strangely, she grabbed the blue straw in it and popped it in her mouth twirling it around with her tongue looking at the rest of the people with disinterest and sitting back into her chair.
''Watch this, Mischief.'' Darcy mumbled under her breathe suddenly she clutched at her stomach groaning quietly and looking at Jane who just rolled her eyes.
''Perhaps, we should take Darcy back to the house she looks rather ill.'' Loki said hesitantly catching on with her joke keeping his smirk hidden behind his eyes as he looked to Jane and Thor one of which did not believe it and the ever so gullible Thor did.
''Yes brother, you should take her back to the house. Jane and I will find a way home.'' Thor said nodding in agreement though mostly because of what he and Jane would get up to once everyone left later on he rather enjoyed being alone with her.
''Oh I'm sure you will- I mean *cough cough*'' Darcy covered up biting down on her lip and remaining silent tapping her foot against the floor, this was the most boring party she'd ever been to in her life.
The car ride was strange and silent apart from the music blaring out of Darcy's earphones as she tapped her fingers on the side of the steering wheel on the car to the drums of the song swaying her head slightly. She'd taken her coat off and slung it over the backseat and put the strange heater in the car on and lost the goosebumps on her skin whereas Loki still felt cold compared to the car, Frost Giant.
A monster. A monster on Misgard with a human who was so oblivious to the fact he could kill her, even scare her to death with his real appearance. The quiet drive was giving him time to think about things and he hated the silence, he could handle it when he was alone usually yes, but with this human, no.
''Loufey's son.'' Those words from his father. Not his blood father but the one who had raised him, the one who loved him was disappointed in him. He had felt the weight of the world on his shoulder's when those words had been spoken, like someone had sliced through the air with a blade and he felt it in his heart. His brother was always the favoured one and he felt so judged and compared to him, he couldn't trust his own father, or his mother, or his brother or anyone because they were not his father,mother and brother, they weren't even his blood. Trust. Bravery. Family. He had been raised as a possession unlike a son so very unlike Thor It didn't matter, he realized things would never be the same again. He felt his existence break he wished that feeling in his chest would disappear, that his father's tired eyes would disappear, his brother would disappear and his whole world would disappear. That memory of realization would haunt him until the day he perished.
Loki looked at the girl in the car now and felt his thin lips curl into a small grin at her despite the fact her eyes were on the road, if it all had disappeared he would never have met the insane, annoying human, any other train of events and perhaps Thor would not have met his human mistress. Darcy looked at him and did a double glance and her mouth opened slightly as if she were a fish and looked at him with a pout.
''Why are you crying, Mischief, dude you're gonna drown the whole car.'' Darcy said biting her lip again looking at the mad God who had a mixture of insanity, sadness and gratefulness in his eyes that she didn't understand, he moved his hand up to his chin and sure enough felt strange tears falling down his face and let out a small sad laugh. Darcy gave him a sympathetic look and moved so she could pat his hand but the steering wheel moved with her and the car suddenly slammed into a ditch with a groaning sound and Darcy's screams.
Darcy hadn't had her seatbelt on for she had taken it off before to put her coat on the backseat and she'd fortunately or unfortunately fallen practically onto Loki who's head had been smacked against the window beside him and her head was buried into his chest. She froze because of the sound coming from his chest, it was his heart and it was so silent that was the only thing she could hear, ''thudump thuddump'' she could even feel his pulse through her ear and it was so strange because she could hear both of their shaky breathe's. Slowly she got up groaning as she felt her jaw that had been bruised holding it softly and slumping into her own chair.
''There goes my driver's license.'' Darcy commented with a moan opening her eyes now, the car was almost flipped if it weren't for it being stuck with it leaning sidewards to Loki's side. Her eyes traveled to him and he looked so pale that it was almost a yellowish color, though he didn't look hurt in the least which was weird because Darcy had sure felt her own head collide with his chest.
She grabbed her phone and turned it on putting it up to the roof and having no luck at getting service she tossed it in the back and raked her fingers through her hair.
''Why aren't you hurt?'' She questioned ignoring the blush that formed to her cheeks as she spoke again looking at him, he straightened up and glanced at her jaw pursing his thin lips.
''That was not exactly painful, I have been in much more pain in battle.'' Loki said dryly looking outside the window into the pitch black dark hearing Darcy give a noise of curiosity and once he turned back her eyes were wide.
''You and Thor actually did that stuff? How didn't you like die? Why wasn't I born on Asgard, that'd be fun fighting with you guys'' Darcy babbled on excitedly, Loki gave her a sharp look and couldn't even imagine what the idiotic human would look like on the battlefield, or even training.
''I doubt that you would make it pass the bifrost'' Loki said rolling his strangely coloured eyes at her though she only looked insulted and stuck out her tongue.
''Oh and I'm sure you are the Knight in Shining Armor then, hmm?''
''Oh I do think so.'' Loki teased.
Thanks for reviews, faves, follows as always :) I apologize for my terrible grammar, I usually update these around 3-4 in the morning when I can't sleep so it's even worse than usual. x
