Hi guys I'm back again! Hope you had a good week as I'm back to my normal updating schedule (unless my school has another snow day then, hi welcome back second one in two days let's hear some clapping going on) Once a week.

Btw Starcy that I'm encorperating a little bit, you digging it? (SOILER: major love triangle drama later)

And Darcy is going to become another major focal point in this fic, but Jane and Thor are still the two big guys.

But trust me, the Darcy plot is going to impact the rest of the story so just be patient and you'll see! :))

Enjoy :3

Darcy's POV

I sit in the living area on my phone leafing through my social media profile getting rid of old photos. Everybody was here just chilling out, Dad (AKA Stark) was on his laptop tinkering with Jarvis, Bruce (The Hulk) and Jane were in a heated game of scrabble, Clint (Hawkeye) and Natasha (Black Widow) were having a conversation in Russian and Steve (Captain Hottie, I mean America) was sitting next to me reading a book. The only person not here was Thor, he was getting Loki situated into his new apartment (across the city thank God) and I frankly was a bit nervous. New York is a huge city but it can be smaller than you think, my worst fear was running into him again. Yes Loki had seemed like the love of my life at the time but how he treated me, how he tricked me-it was so cruel that if I ever talked to him again it'd be too soon.

I click on one photo not realizing what it is until I see it. I inhale deeply and look at it. It was a picture of me and "Drake when we went to California. In this picture I had my arms thrown around his neck and he was twirling me around while we were kissing. I remembered that moment like it was yesterday. We were on the beach at sunset walking with my brother and niece (who had a camera with her) and we got to this one point where he had stopped and looked around and pointed at the horizon. I looked and squinted-not being able to see, so he just said 'oh fuck it' and knelt down on his knee and asked me to marry him.

I look at it and my eyes begin to well up with tears and my breathing quickens.

"Hey, Darcy?" I hear a voice say. I look over and see Steve looking at me nervously.

"Yeah?" I ask my voice going up an octave.

"You okay?" He asks. I nod and say,

"Yeah-I just need some air." Before getting up and walking out of the room quickly.

I get out into the hallway and hear footsteps behind me.

"Darcy, wait up." I hear Steve say.

"Steve please I need to be alone." I say.

"No you don't. Darcy I know what you're upset about-and I understand what you're feeling.""

"How could you?" I ask still holding back tears. I see him look at me with caring and understanding eyes but I keep going in my angry rant. "We were so in love, it was the happiest I've ever felt in my life. If I had a bad day at school or at work he'd be there and he'd make me forget anybody else even existed. When he was around I felt complete-and I loved him so much, even after he told me who he really was. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him-and longer then that. But he-" I let out sob the tears spilling out all at once. "He lied about all of it-every single part of it and my heart just feels like it's not there anymore. And every time I see a picture of us on my phone it makes me hurt even more. Just when I think that it can't hurt anymore it does-and nobody understands. Jane tries to but-but she has Thor and she's so happy. I-I-" But I don't finish my sentence before Steve draws me to him and holds me to him.

I wrap my arms around his waist and bury my head into his chest and just sob. He rubs my back and holds me close, leaning his head down so his nose rests just above my ear. I lean my head into his and stay closer to him.

"I may not understand what it's like to have somebody lie to you like that-but I know what it's like to lose somebody you love. I lost my best friend in the War-Bucky, and there was this doll-her name was Peggy, but I missed our date when the plane crashed and I froze in the ice." Steve says softly to me. I nod and then whisper.

"I'm sorry-and thank you."

"You're welcome." He mutters kissing the top of my head and loosening his grip on me now that I was calming down. "You look like you could use some rest."

"Yeah, my room's two floors above here actually." Darcy says.

"Let me escort you there." Steve says smiling and lightly places a hand on the small of her back.

I walk next to him very aware of his hand, and very aware of how it was making me feel. Loki never touched me this gently, as if I was made of fragile china- it was nice.

"So, you two were that close?" Steve asks. I nod and say,

"Yeah, really close. I mean I want to get over him and move on to another relationship and be happy again, but there's a small part of me that wants to go back and find him and go back to what we had."

"And why does that small part of you want to go? I mean there has to be a reason, and once you figure that out then it'll be easier to move on." Steve said as we walked into the elevator and he pressed the button to my floor.

"I thought I was pregnant. I missed a period and everything-but the test was negative, and I got a test at the doctors, that was negative. And I was so disappointed. The thought of starting a family with him is-I mean was amazing, but now I don't know what to think." I say.

"Well now you know why, you just have to start moving on." Steve says.

"I know, I just-every time I try to go on a date with somebody since the break-up, I end up crying halfway through the date because they mention something that reminds me of him-and only one guy didn't freak out-but he didn't call me back." I tell him, cringing remembering about how the guy had lightly hugged me and took me home, kissing my cheek politely, but returned no calls from me afterwords.

"You've just got to start with somebody who you know and trust, like find one of the guys you talk to on a daily basis, like another intern that works with you and Jane, who knows you just got out of a huge relationship and you aren't looking for much more then-what exactly are you looking for?" Steve asks.

"Somebody who I can call at 2 in the morning after I wake up crying from a dream about them and they'll come here without any questions and stay up with me until I'm tired or will hold me until I fall asleep again. It's just so hard going from having somebody's arms around you every night, to having none at all." I say.

The elevator doors open and Steve walks out into the hallway with me.

"This may seem inappropriate-but if you need somebody to call at any time I'll be available. Unless I'm on a mission I'm pretty much open any time of night-I myself have trouble sleeping." Steve says. I look at him and smile,

"That's not inappropriate at all, that's very sweet actually. Thank you." Just as we stop by my apartment. "Well here we are-my apartment. Come on in." I say and feel him take his hand off my back so I could dig for my keycard.

I let him in and he takes off his shoes.

"I'm going to get changed and probably lay down, I mean you don't have to stay but after what just happened-"

"You don't want to be alone." Steve finishes for me. I nod and he smiles.

"I understand, do you wish for me to stay in the living room."

"Um, well no. Now it's my turn to me inappropriate-I was hoping that we could cuddle a bit-I know it's not sticking to platonic, but I trust you and as you just stated I don't want to be alone." I say softly.

"Of course." He says smiling.

~0000000000000000000~

A few minutes later we were laid down on my bed and cuddling, my head buried in his chest and his cheek rested on the top of my head-he was so much larger than me he was practically curled around me, like a dog would wrap around it's pups. I felt my eyelids getting heavier and I let my breathing deepen.

"Sweet Dreams Darcy." He whispers kissing my forehead just as I slip into sleep-and for the first time, I don't dream of Loki….

I hate to be asking this but it needs to be asked. How many on Team Steve and how many on Team Loki?
