Chapter 4 – Moving House
Summary - AU - Loki has restricted magic. Long term relationship with son.
Moving Day with a little magic and grossing out the son lol.
The day started with a mad scramble. Pulling on clean clothes before bundling the rest into cardboard boxed and black bin bags. Darcy took her load down to the conservatory. The china and glass were already boxed and waiting for the delivery men to arrive.
"Here boys, take some bags and empty your drawers and wardrobes into the bags. Don't screw them up though, please? Folded clothes should remain folded!"
Both Loki and Daniel looked out the corner of their eyes at each other, both understanding that sometimes you did exactly what Mum said, when she said it. Nodding, they accepted their chore and headed to the bedrooms.
Darcy felt frazzled, they always say moving house was one of the most stressful things a family can go through. Not as if they hadn't dealt with plenty of stress since meeting. She had nearly been killed by her husband when they first met. Well sort of met. She didn't get her apology for that until 2 years afterwards! Not that she was bitter about it, it was nothing compared to how close her and Loki had come to dying since then.
"Sheesh, Darcy! God girl, if you can deal with the end of the Universe then you can move house!"
"Darling, you are muttering again"
Loki wrapped his arms around her, allowing her to shift around as she buried her face to his chest.
"Why do we always leave things to the last minute?"
"I'm not sure that we do, it all looks finished to me…"
Out of the corner of her eye she saw a wisp of gold stream around the conservatory, into the house. As it moved she heard sellotape noises and shuffling, the occasional bang.
"Careful Loki, don't break anything! You know your magic is still restricted. Although you could have used some yesterday, instead of leaving me to manually pack everything whilst you gallivanted around with your brother?"
Darcy moved back in Loki's arms as she raised her eyebrow at him.
"We were not gallivanting, my love, we were looking for suitable attire for his and Jane's anniversary party. Thor really doesn't appreciate my clothing gifts for him, and as this realm really has limited choice for proper finery, we decided to pop to Asguard."
"I can't imagine why Thor wouldn't appreciate your gifts? Oh yes, the last belt you gave him turned to a snake before the appetisers were finished!"
Darcy laughed, the tension finally falling from her shoulders. Loki tipped down and softly kissed her lips. Pulling him down further, her hand threaded through his hair, she deepened the kiss.
"YUK! You two are gross!"
Daniel glowered at his parents. He had placed his black bag at his feet, his hands on his hips.
Loki and Darcy pulled apart slightly, turned towards their son, and simultaneously blew raspberries at him, causing him to stomp back to his bedroom.
"Better make sure we are ready for the removers then" Loki laughed as he gave his wife one more hug in their old home.
