Chapter Summary: Darcy and Loki were just trying to sleep in late on a Sunday morning when they wake to find they have animal ears! Apparently the spell Loki was practicing last night had some kind of effect after all.

Day 10: With Animal Ears

It was Sunday morning and both Loki and Darcy were sleeping in late. Of course, Darcy never slept in quite as late as Loki but it was still too early for even for the brunette to wake up. However, like every morning, Darcy woke up with that need to use the bathroom, and no matter how hard she tried to just roll over and ignore it so she could fall back to sleep, she couldn't.

So she climbed out of bed, forgoing her glasses while she stumbled her way to the bathroom. After she was done, she was washing her hands as she looked up in the mirror. That was when she seen something was amiss, and promptly let out a scream at what she saw in the mirror.

Now, Loki was a deep sleeper. Anything short of the world crumbling beneath him could hardly wake the Frost Giant. But some things managed to get him up in a snap, and one such thing was his woman screaming. He was on his feet with dagger in hand, completely alert as he dashed toward the source of the sound. "Darcy?!"

He found said woman in the bathroom, as he came to a halt in the doorway. He had been prepared for her to be in some sort of jeopardy, but he was not prepared for what he was greeted with.

Darcy stood in the bathroom in her PJs, otherwise as he remembered her. Except for the gray rabbit ears that apparently had replaced her human ears overnight. Darcy looked at him and pointed to her head. "What are-" She trailed off as she stared at him, then busted out laughing, her previous horror and anger forgotten.

He furrowed his brow as she laughed at him -and yes, she was definitely laughing at him- until he looked over in the mirror. His eyes grew wide as he dropped his dagger and his hands immediately went for his head where a pair of red fox ears were. "How in the nine...?" He touched the ears and they reacted and he immediately drew his hands back.

After Darcy managed to compose herself again, she pointed to her own set of animal ears. "Care to explain?" She asked, before she folded her arms and tapped her foot expectantly.

He looked at her and scowled. "What makes you think I have any answers?" He asked, picking his dagger up before either of them stepped on it.

"Oh, I don't know, maybe because you're the only one in the whole entire world that can use magic?!" She snapped, poking him in the chest.

He huffed and swatted her hand away as he started to say, "I'm sure there are others..." He trailed off however as something clicked. He groaned and facepalmed.

"Ah ha! You DO know what happened! Explain, mister!" Darcy said, reaching up and tugging his furry fox ear. It was actually quite soft.

He jerked his head back and narrowed his eyes. "Don't do that." He grumbled, but let out a defeated sigh. "Yes, I believe I know why we have...these." He gestured at their new features. He cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his neck while avoiding eye contact. "Do you recall my practicing a few spells last night?" He glanced at Darcy who was staring at him pointedly.

Shaking his head he held his hands out. "Apparently the spell I thought hadn't worked in fact...worked. With a bit of a delay, it would seem." He smiled impishly.

Darcy was not amused. "What the hell type of spell were you trying to use? I have rabbit ears! And you have fox ears!"

He blew out a frustrated breath. "I can see that. I can assure you however, the spell had nothing to do with animals. I must have done something wrong." He admitted through gritted teeth. It wasn't like he could deny it, one look at either of them spoke volumes to his mistake.

The brunette looked in the mirror and whined as she rubbed the long ears that protruded from her head. "Just fix it, now!" She ordered, looking back toward the trickster.

"It is not as simple as a snap of my fingers, Mistress. It will take me some time to figure out how to reverse the spell's effects." He said, quickly slipping out of the bathroom before his woman could potentially throw something at him in retaliation.

Darcy groaned and stomped after him. "How long?" She asked, pointing to her head. "Because we can't leave the apartment with these! No hat in the world can hide these."

As he grabbed the spell book he'd been studying from the previous night, Loki shook his head. "You cannot rush magic. Trust me, you don't want to rush magic. I'll try to have this reversed before tomorrow. But if I can't, I'll simply cast an illusion spell so no one notices anything different. Fair enough?" He looked at her.

She whined and plopped onto her bed. Loki was already flipping through the pages to try and find the spell he imagined was the cause of this whole situation, and hoped he could have it fixed sooner rather than later. He didn't appreciate having fox ears anymore than his woman appreciated her rabbit ears.

Darcy was idly petting the soft bunny ears as she watched Loki. At the very least it was Sunday so they didn't have anything planned because this was probably going to be an all day thing, possibly for the next few days if he couldn't figure out where he went wrong and how to reverse it.

"Well," She started, sitting up and stretching. "If you can't fix me, I'm pretty sure I could get a job as a Playboy Bunny with actual bunny ears now." She said with a grin.

Loki snorted and leveled her with a look. "Absolutely not." That was it, he'd have them back to normal before bed if it was the last thing he did. He knew what Playboy was thanks to Stark's collection, and there was no way in Hel he'd let his woman become a Playboy Bunny. Her body was for his eyes only.
