A/N: I'm really hoping I get some reviews out of this. I wanna hear some ideas that you guys have! Anyway, enjoy!

Chapter 4 (Darcy POV):

I was possibly sleeping in the most comfortable bed in the universe. I might complain how lousy my life is, but oh man, I'm so grateful for my bed. What I'm not grateful for is waking up to a pair of bright green eyes starting straight into my soul.

"LOKI! Would you STOP giving me a damn heart attack!" I screeched.

I scrambled back further unto the bed and drew the covers above my head. I felt the bed dip from Loki's weight as he sat on my bed.

"Oh, sweet Darcy, your skin is pale, and your eyes are showing such sorrow. Why have you been crying?"

"Sorrow? The only thing I'm sorry about is that you disrupted my awesome sleep, you ass hole," I grumbled. I can't become vulnerable again. Loki doesn't want me. At least, that's what my brain is telling me. But my heart still has some hope that I'm just over sensitive and over thinking everything right now.

Loki seemed to think about that for a moment, before squinting at me.

"Uh, dude, what are you doing? Do you need glasses or something?" I joked nervously.

All of a sudden, I was swept into Loki's arms. Loki buried his face into my neck, and chuckled.

"My apologies, lovely Darcy. You were lying to me. I am the God of Mischief and lies. Do not think you can easily lie your way past me. I know of your insecurities. Let me assure you that they are unreasonable. My heart beats for you, Darcy. Do not question it. I apologize for my abrupt farewell, but I tend to panic. I have never felt this way around anyone. So pardon my behavior, but this is all new to me," Loki whispered.

He looked so pained and lost. He really needed to lighten up.

"Hey," I whispered. Loki immediately looked up at me. "You, sir, need to lighten up. Live a little and don't be afraid. You let fear run your life. Let your heart take control for once. I care about you a lot, Loki. You make me feel all giddy and shit, and it's new for me too, but I'm not afraid."

Loki raised an eyebrow. "Giddy and shit? Well put."

I grinned. "Hey man, I explain my feelings straight up! Anyway, like I said, you need to lighten up. I say we drink our night away. Do you agree?" I looked at him hopefully.

Loki stood and pulled me up with him. "Whatever your little heart desires, lovely Darcy."

I shot off to the kitchen, only to return with a bottle of rum. "So, I hate rum, but it's all I got. Appreciate it."

Loki just looked confused.

"I'm sorry. I'm new to this. What is this rum you speak of?"

Oh baby Jesus, I thought. This will be fun…

I just smiled and poured him a glass.

2 hours later…

"And this duuuuumb bitch just looked at me and gave me, like, the dumbest look, like, ever!" I pouted.

Loki smiled. She was intoxicated. No, she was very intoxicated.

"I mean, I can't help it that I love ice cream and cake. Why do people always have to judge me by what I buy at the grocery store? It's not fair. People need to just mind their own business, y'know," I grumbled.

"I understand, Darcy. It must be a terrible life. I can only imagine the pain of being judged after you purchase 10 boxes of ice cream," Loki joked.

I threw my head on his shoulder and sniffled. "It really is Loki, you have no idea. You're a God! I'm sure you have never been judged by how much you eat…"

Loki looked over and quickly kissed my head. "No, sweetheart, I never was one with the biggest appetite."

"You know what, Loki? I like you. Even though we are so different. I mean, I bet my appetite is twice of yours! But I guess you're cool… and stuff… and pretty hot. Have you seen your eyes? I mean, you can't see your eyes, since you see out of them… but, like, have you looked into a mirror lately? Your eyes… just pierce through my soul. Like boom! I feel like my heart explodes every time you look at me!" I exclaimed. His eyes were just so amazing. I've never seen eyes like his before. His eyes just changed my whole life. No lie.

Loki just raised his eyebrow. After a moment, a smile graced his face. A true smile.

"I am grateful that I can cause you this happiness, Darcy," Loki admitted. He was never one to admit feelings. But he better start, 'cause I just love having heart-to-hearts.

Suddenly, a blast of courage and recklessness ran through me.

I turned to face him, and placed a hand on his face. "You have brought me a lot of happiness lately, Loki. You are the light at the end of the tunnel for me. It's pretty crazy, I mean, since like, a lot of shit went down lately. But you were there for me every step of the way. I just want to say thank you," I whispered.

So, I might regret doing this since I'll probably be rejected quicker than I can blink. But I've never been the one to live life out of fear. I was clumsy, reckless, bold, and courageous. Not to be cocky or anything. But yeah, that's just how I live my life. I'm okay with taking risks, because I've only got one life.

But it doesn't mean I'm not scared as balls to take risks. I'm throwing caution to the wind tonight though. I looked into Loki's eyes and felt him look into my soul.

So, I leaned in and kissed him.

And this time, I didn't let him pull back.

Loki hesitated for just a second, but then he placed his hand on the back of her neck, and drew her in closer if that was even possible. Fiery passion began to bubble in Loki's stomach. He quickly intensified the kiss and let passion take over. For just this moment, he took Darcy's advice. For just tonight, he would let his heart guide him. Not his fear. Just his heart.

Please, R & R

Thanks!
