When you say you've had enough
And you might just give it up
I will never let you down,
When you're feeling low on love
I'll be what you dreaming of
I will never let you down

Let me show you what you've never seen
You know how to love only when you're holding me

Darcy wasn't quite sure how long she'd been holed up in her room, but she knew it had been long enough to at least cry herself to sleep for maybe an hour or so. She honestly wasn't even sure why she had even begun crying. She knew that on one hand Loki was only trying to help, but at the same time, she was still somewhat upset about Kevin. And it's not like she could really be upset at him for how he'd been acting because he'd been doing it all along; she just hadn't allowed herself to think about it, that is, until now. Until Loki.

And damn it, why did he have to even care in the first place? As if life wasn't already complicated enough for her right now. But no. He just had to butt in, which, yeah, she was grateful for in one way, but in another, she was beyond frustrated. So maybe that's what these were-frustrated tears. She wasn't sad, she wasn't mad, and she really wasn't in the kind of mood where she wanted to wallow in her own self-pity. But this whole situation was out of control, and she didn't like that. Darcy knew she wasn't even really a control freak. She was mainly laid back, but she didn't do well with change. And this was way too much change for one day, let alone one lifetime.

I mean, to find out about your apparently non-committed ex-boyfriend's other girlfriend, and then to find out your roommate decided to involve himself in this mess, (never mind the fact that he's a crazy- emphasis on crazy-hot ex-super villain demi-god from space) and now said crazy hot ex-villain is maybe, just maybe, a little into you? It was too much. It was all too much. In fact, at this point, Darcy had begun to feel dizzy from all this overthinking. She managed to gather all of her discarded and used tissues and place them in her wastebasket so she could move her covers back and lay in bed.

She had curled up underneath the layers of blankets and was about a second away before she heard a slight knock on her door. She had half a mind to go answer the damn thing, but as she began to make a move to get up, she could feel the exhaustion hit her like a freight train (which, at the moment, getting hit by a train seemed less painful than the entirety of this evening), so she opted to call out "Who is it?" as she sat on the side of her bed.

"Miss Lewis, you know who it is." She heard his muffled voice through the door.

"What do you want?" She spoke, trying to hide her exhaustion in a thinly veiled attempt.

"Darcy, please, will you open the door?" Darcy didn't move. "I have the wine and ice cream. Please just let me explain."

Darcy sighed. She didn't want to succumb to his pleading, but she also knew the sooner she dealt with him, the sooner she could return to her warm cocoon of sheets and blankets, and drift off to dream land. Hmmm, sleep and warmth sounded so good right now. However, she got up, not begrudgingly at all, and made her way to the door. She gripped the handle, took a deep breath, exhaled while counting to 3, and opened the door to find quite possibly the sexiest thing ever.

He'd been leaning against her doorframe, with his left leg crossed across his right leg, holding the ice cream with 2 spoons still stuck in it in one hand, and the open bottle of wine in the other, all the while sporting a very convincing sad puppy eye look. Darcy wasn't one to become flustered easily, but this, oh this was working. She knew if she stared at him much longer, she'd end up throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him senseless again, and he'd more than likely drop the therapy items onto the floor in a heartbeat, so she decided to instead look anywhere, and she really did look anywhere, but his eyes, or really, his face in general.

She could practically feel the smoldering gaze he was giving (along with that god damned ever-present smirk) as she fixated her gaze upon a very interesting knot in the wooden floor.

"What do you want, Loki?" Darcy mumbled from underneath the mess of curls that were now cascading around her face (she'd undone her pony tail somewhere in between the 7th and 29th tissue, leaving a messy mop of curls in her wake).

"I only wish to explain my actions and make peace with you." Loki spoke in a tone so sweet and soft that if she were only a few inches away, she may not have been able to hear him.

"So talk." She snapped at him, still refusing to look at him.

"Darcy, I only meant to help. I, I meant no harm to you, or to anyone else. I simply wanted you to understand that I was speaking the truth to you earlier. And although my actions were deceitful, I was not trying to deceive you in any way."

"How do I know you're not lying?"

Loki paused for a moment. "Because, when it comes to matters of your heart, I do not wish to cause you any pain, let alone make you cry." Loki gently reached his hand up to wipe away a stray tear.

Darcy willed herself not to full on cry in this moment. "W-why?" She spoke, mustering up as much strength as she could to maybe, possibly meet his eyes.

"Because," He spoke as he moved his hand to cup her face, lifting it to meet his own, "I…I am…..i-in…I'm in love with you." He nervously blurted out the last part. Darcy's eyebrows rose to her hairline. She wasn't sure if she'd really heard him correctly, but based off of the nervous, scared shitless look he was wearing, she knew he'd meant it. Every. Word.

Holy. Shit. Holy shit. Holy fucking shit. This can't be happening. This can't even be real. He's a fucking demi-god. From fucking space or some shit. Ohhhh my God. Ok, c'mon Lewis, get your head back in the game. Say something. Anything. All Darcy could manage to do was stand and stare at him. Let's go, Lewis. Didn't go to college for nothing. Use that damn brain of yours!

But, she just…..couldn't. She was shocked, needless to say.

Loki had begun to wonder if he'd done the wrong thing in telling her. She looked frozen in, was it fear? Disgust? Anger? A combination of all of the above? What was that look? He began to open his mouth to say something, but instead was met with a pair of eager lips, and an equally, if not even more so, eager tongue against his own.

She couldn't help it. He was so handsome, and smelled so good (still), and he was actually really sweet when he finally let the defensive asshole front disappear. And damn, did he know how to kiss. Years of practice, she'd supposed. Not that she really wanted to think about that right now. She sort of wanted him all to herself in this moment.

After what could have been anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours (she seemed to have this way of losing track of all time when kissing him), they pulled apart, slightly breathless, and smiled at one another.

"So," Darcy began, "You're in love with me, huh? Well…looks like you're just going to have to make me fall in love with you too, then." She smiled, as did he. He leaned back in the kiss her again, and before she knew it, he'd made his way inside her room (ok, so she'd practically yanked him in there), the wine and ice cream long forgotten about and spilled on the floor (she'd clean it up later), and he'd laid on his side, facing Darcy, as they talked about anything and everything, stealing kisses here and there as well, until both fell asleep atop of Darcy's bed.

Things were about to get interesting, this Darcy knew. And she couldn't wait to see where this would go.

So maybe it wasn't such a horrible day after all.

A few weeks later, they were sitting in the lab, going about their daily business in Jane's lab, save for all the stolen kisses behind Jane's back, and assisting Jane with whatever new project she'd taken on. Darcy left to go on a coffee run, which she almost forgot to get because Loki had pulled her aside behind a machine to kiss her sensually, making her toes curl, as she was on her way out. She'd finally managed to slip away from him, leaving a pouty Loki behind with the promise that she'd need to make it up to him later (she couldn't wait), and began her journey into the break room.

She'd begun making everyone's coffee just the way they liked, as a few field agents, who'd apparently labeled her as insignificant and invisible due to the volumes they were speaking in, entered the room. One reached into the fridge for a yogurt, while the other had begun munching on a glazed donut when she heard, "So, did you hear about Kevin?" Oh this oughta be good.

"No, what'd he do now?"

"I heard he and that one chick, Tracy, or Stacy, or whatever, got caught trying to do it in the training room, and Fury banned him from the training grounds for a month, and fired Stacy. Word has it Kevin's gonna try to get back with that one super-hot chick, Darcy."

"Ha, she wouldn't go for him. I heard she gave them both a verbal beat down at some Italian place a few weeks ago. Sounds pretty badass, if you ask me."

Darcy smirked as she continued absentmindedly stirring coffees and smirking. Hell yeah, it was.

"Man, I don't know what Kevin was thinking. Darcy sounds awesome. Hey, do you think she'd go out with me?" She heard him ask as they walked back into the hallway. She just smiled to herself as she picked up the 3 coffees and walked into the hallways herself.

She damn near spilled them all as she almost collided with the dumbass himself.

"Hey! Darc, I was just looking for you!" He said in an over confident tone.

Oh great, here we go.

"Hey Kevin. Can it wait? I really need to get back to the lab."

"Look, I only wanted to ask if you'll give me another shot. Ya know, maybe try again?"

Darcy rolled her eyes. "Listen, Kevin, I can't. I'm already seeing Loki. You messed up, and as I recall, we were only a fling anyways, so what is there to try again at?"

"Well, I mean, sex is always a good way to try again, right?"

Darcy audibly scoffed. Loudly, might she add. "Not with you, it isn't. Later, Kevin."

And with that, she pushed past him, and headed back towards the lab.

"Hey, you're the one missing out, baby! And to think, you could've had all of this!" He called out behind her.

"Ha, that's hilarious." She retorted half bitter, half amused. Go suck a big fat dick, asswipe.

She set down the coffees on the table right in front of Loki and Jane, still trying to shake off the slimy feeling she got after being around Kevin. And Loki, as always, instantly noticed her change in mood.

"What's wrong?" He half whispered, even though Jane was too distracted to notice them anyways.

"Huh? Oh, nothing. Just ran into the douchebag again. He tried to ask me out. I said no, and I was with you."

"Do you need me to make him leave you alone?" Loki's brows furrowed together as he seemed genuinely concerned.

Darcy smiled sweetly, as she reached up to touch his cheek. "No, I don't. I think I can handle him. But if I ever do need help, you're the first person I'd call."

Loki smiled as well, and Darcy stood on her tiptoes as she planted a very sweet, slow lingering kiss on his lips.

They parted as soon as Jane cleared her throat, as she stood facing them, with her arms crossed and eyebrows raised.

Good lord, Thor needs to get back here soon. She's way too uptight for her own good, Darcy thought.

Darcy pulled back from Loki as they both mumbled a 'sorry' and went back to work. She'd given Loki a look of sympathy, from across the room. Its ok, she could work now. Besides, she'd already promised to make a few other stolen moments up to him later, and the sooner they finished in the lab, the sooner they could go home.

A/N: Yayyyy! So we've reached the end, folks. Honestly, thank you all so much for sticking with me throughout this story, and for all the encouragement and support you've all given me. I really can't wait to keep writing, and I may even write a few more Tasertricks fics? Maybe start a collection? I'm not sure yet, but either way, there is more to come! I also have a few Hiddlesfics that I've been planning, so look for those as well.

As for this story, maybe a few one shots will be in order. Idk.

But, once again, thank you all SOOOO MUCH and I'm so glad to have made you all so happy with this! This has been so fun to write, and such a huge stress relief.

See you all again soon! :)
