Darcy was playing the x-box in the living room for the third time that day, after Jane and Thor had come back they'd told her that Agent Coulson was more than shocked to hear it as Zane had been a trusted employee and he'd taken him into questioning and would report back.
Darcy's stomach hurt worse than usual and she tried to rest on the couch but she couldn't sleep so she opted for a game of Dishonored, killing people was just what she needed. Loki was outside doing something she didn't even want to ask about, Thor and Jane were in there room doing God knows what. Loki didn't even bother finishing off when they came back, whatever he was about to say.
Great, this was just great. First a hunky God dropped out of the sky and got her mixed up in this mess, then his crazy brother tried to kill him and now he was living in the same house as her, she went on a date with Zane and he tried to poison her and now her stomach hurt. Darcy groaned and toggled the controller just as Loki slid the door open and shut it, she slashed the Guard's throat as harshly as she could in a game.
''Game over, bitch.'' She mumbled tossing the controller aside rubbing her fingers on her temples, glancing down at her arm she ran her fingers over the permanent marks with a sigh.
Loki remained in the kitchen warily watching her, he had no idea if she'd noticed he had come back inside. He glanced down at the kitchen's counter and frowned, some type of human medicine tablets lay there in a strange blue packet, though some were taken already. He glanced back over to see Darcy putting a hand to her forehead on the couch closing her eyes and he swore he could hear her weeping.
''What is this...medicine for?'' Loki said causing her to startle and look up at him from behind the couch, her elbows rested on the back of the chair and her head propped up.
''Nothing.'' She replied back in a monotone voice, perhaps she had heard him walk in.
''I doubt that. You do not take medicine especially here for no reason. Tell me!'' Loki pressed on, he walked up to her and stood behind the couch causing her to look up to his eyes which held eager curiosity and a little strange wave of an emotion she didn't know.
''It's nothing, like I said. I vomited blood again before so I..''
''Blood? Have you not told anyone? What did that bastard poison you with?!'' Loki exclaimed noticing the way her eyes hazed over with something that looked like sadness, though it was the kind of sadness that didn't leave once it started it was all that he could see.
She looked down biting her lip harshly, Loki sighed in frustration and ran a finger along his jaw scratching a red line on it. It was a habit he had had as a child to scratch his skin lightly when he got angry or nervous, though he hadn't done it lately. Loki's eyes flickered up to the TV with disdain and wonder, a person stood with a decapitated body onto the side of him.
''What is that?'' Loki asked curiously walked around the couch trailing his finger along the leather of it briefly touching Darcy's neck.
''A game. What were you doing outside?'' Darcy asked looking at him as he sat beside her, she folded her legs beneath her. She glanced at him again and felt the stupid butterflies in her stomach once again luckily not the ones she got when she was about to vomit, she saw a scar on the back of his hand and frowned, his slender yet lean frame looked huge and tall compared to her she almost felt a little nervous, his hair was slicked back and it showed off his amazing jawline.
''I was merely curious as to what Jane meant by 'butterflies in her stomach' when she was talking to you about Thor. I don't understand how one could have butterflies put into their stomach.'' Loki said pouting a little, Darcy felt that confusion inside of her though she laughed at his comment.
''It's a figure of speech, Sherlock. It means you get nervous and happy and anxious around someone your attracted to...or when you're about to die, either way.'' She said through laughing, he glared at her with annoyance shining in his eyes. Darcy picked up the water that was beside her and took a few sips of it raising an eyebrow.
''Ah. So do you not get them when you're around me?'' He asked and in the same second Darcy had spluttered and spit water out onto his face and shirt though surprisingly he had a satisfied smile on his face.
''I was merely joking, Darcy.'' Loki said chuckling a little and suddenly peeling his very human like shirt off causing Darcy's heart race. He wiped it along his face getting rid of the water.
She marveled at his pale very built chest and abs silently, and those ''butterflies'' went a little too far away from her stomach than she'd like them to. He wasn't as muscly as his brother, no, but he was however built and hot. She groaned internally at her thoughts and made her best effort to move away from him.
''Jesus, do you guys just like stripping in front of me or something?'' Darcy questioned him her mouth agape, his huge smile immediately faltered at her statement and she recoiled back as his eyes darkened. He swallowed audibly and looked at her with his jaw clenched.
''Thor and you as well?'' He asked with sick bile coming up his throat and he suddenly wanted the tablets that she owned.
''Oh dear god I wish. No I wanted to give him CPR but apparently noo, Jane was the first thing he saw.'' Darcy grumbled off, remembering when he'd slammed into the car with a small smile.
''CPR?'' Loki questioned at the strange word, frowning.
''Yeah it's when someone's drowned or something and you put your hands on their chest like this and keep doing it until their heart starts up or you can give them mouth to mouth as well.'' She said placing her hands on his firm chest where she could feel his heartbeat loudly thumping against his chest. He quirked an eyebrow at her sudden touch and leaned in slightly.
''Mouth to mouth?'' Loki asked cheekily again, Darcy rolled her eyes and shoved his chest away gently laughing, he chuckled with her causing the butterflies to come back. Damn the stupid God.
''DARCY!'' Jane shouted from behind them causing them to look around, Jane stood there with her hair amess and her clothes rumpled her eyes wide and her small hand over her mouth looking at them. Jane walked up to them tugging on Darcy's arm with a small glare at Loki, Darcy reluctantly followed Jane outside whilst Loki looked around them to see Thor's figure shadowed by the stairs and Thor walked towards him with silence.
''Finally done, brother?'' Loki hissed.
''It's not like that! I've told you before, Jane.'' Darcy said sighing pulling her hair up into a bun and tying it with a clear band, she barely had any eye makeup on and last nights was smudging.
''Right walking in on you two on the couch with his shirt off is obviously not what I think it is. Jesus Darcy! It's just like you to rebel and...''
''STOP. Why is it now you care? Loki's a freaking God who unfortunately has to stay here so may as well talk to the guy instead of ignore him, besides in a few months he and Thor will be on their way home and this stuff will all be over and Daddy issues and Hercules will have nothing to do with us and that's good. Just like when my fucking abusive boyfriend killed someone I loved and left. Besides as soon as they leave I'm going somewhere and probably never gonna see you again, I'm tired of trying to prove myself to you and getting nothing in return!'' Darcy yelled at the top of her lungs.
She turned towards the door only to be stopped by Loki standing by it with wide wary eyes and she slumped her shoulders brushing past his arm harshly in which he let her.
Loki turned to look at Jane who's hand was raked into her hair with stress, he heard Darcy's door slam against the frame and it shook the house. She wasn't meant to be left alone and he decided despite what she said he was going to get him to tell her everything, especially about this boyfriend of hers. He would like to see him decapitated like in that game of hers.
He knocked on the door in the same pattern she once had when they went to the dinner party, remembering it easily. He heard sobs coming from inside the room and things being thrown around.
''Darcy, please stop this.'' He said quietly, yelling at someone upset was never a good idea, he learnt from his parents mistakes after all. Darcy opened the door slightly to look at him, her face was red and her eyes were puffy with tears strolling down her face.
''Let me come inside, I do not think you want Thor and Jane hearing you cry like this.'' Loki said as she reluctantly let him in, closing the door behind him he looked at her mess of a room.
It was always messy but now she had tossed things onto the walls in anger and it had scraped along it, he glanced at her arm which was bleeding harshly and he grabbed it looking at it. The mirror that hung on her wall was now broken and smashed and a shard remained in her arm, Loki took it out quickly causing her to flinch but he put his cool hand against the cut and whispered nonsense to her, when he removed it her arm was healed perfectly and she felt no pain physically.
''Tell me about him.''
