AN: I am really sorry, like honestly so sorry... I feel terrible for not updating. I've not updated for like three weeks. It's been tricky writing for a while, I've moved house and stuff so yeah. Anyway, I'm gonna try and get at least one chapter a week done soon, if I can. I only have 2 weeks left in school until we break up for 7 weeks. Hopefully, a lot will get done. Again, really really sorry, but enjoy.
Darcy woke up with a kink in her neck. She had fallen asleep on the couch in an awkward position and now she was paying for it. She was in agony with her neck. She rubbed it firmly to try and get the pain away, but of course it didn't work.
She sat up and looked at the time on her phone. 3:51. At least I don't have college, she thought. She slowly stood up and made her way to her room, hoping that if she got to bed fast enough, she would be able to get back to sleep.
Walking down the hall, her eyes were still half closed and she didn't have her glasses on, so she didn't see Loki when he walked out of the guest room. She walked straight into him and ricocheted onto the wall. She managed to grab a door handle just in time to stop herself from falling and looking like a complete idiot. She straightened herself and put her glasses on. Loki was staring at her as if she had two heads.
"What?" She snapped. Loki frowned at her, before turning and walking down the hallway in the dark. Darcy shook her head and carried on to her room.
She grinned at her organised chaos and flopped onto the bed. She wrapped herself in her fluffy kitten patterned blanket and got under the covers. She closed her eyes and eventually drifted to sleep again.
The next morning, Darcy managed to pry herself away from her bed, sighing loudly as she felt the warmth slip away from her. It was about 7:30. She stretched her arms above her head before pulling off her shirt and then her pants. She pulled her hair out of the complete mess of a ponytail and threw the bobble down.
She took her glasses off then made her way to the door. She opened it just enough to peek her head through and looked up and down the hall. The coast was clear. Quickly and carefully, she exited her room and made a mad dash down the hallway to the bathroom in just her bra and Elmo lady boxers.
Once inside, she shut and locked the door before hopping in the shower.
About an hour later, Darcy had showered and dressed in a pair of black leggings, a plaid, buttoned up shirt with a thick belt under her bust and some black boots that stopped just under her knees. She was in the process of loosely curling her thick hair when a small knock sounded at the door.
"Yep?" She asked. The door opened and Jane stepped in, wearing one of Thor's own massive plaid shirts. It was huge, it completely swamped Jane's tiny frame.
"Hey." Jane said sweetly, coming further into the room. Darcy looked at Jane through the mirror and a teasing smile crept into her face.
"Oh Jane, you really didn't waste and time, did you? Good for you girl!" She laughed and Jane automatically blushed.
"I'm guessing you don't have college today then?" Jane asked, avoiding Darcy's taunt.
"Yup, free day today." Darcy confirmed.
"Great, then do you wanna come shopping with me?" Jane asked, sitting on the edge of the bed. Darcy glanced at her as she sat down.
"I hope you're wearing panties..." She teased again, and Jane's blush intensified. "Sure, who else is coming?"
"Well there's me, you, Thor..." Jane trailed off.
"And?"
"Loki."
"No way." Darcy said quickly, before wrapping another strip of her around her curlers.
"Oh Darcy please! I don't think I can cope looking after two gods on my own!"
"Demy-Gods." Darcy corrected.
"Like that makes a difference Darc... Oh please! Please, please! Darcy, you can't leave me with them on my own... I mean, I can sorta deal with Thor now; he's finally getting the hang of life on earth, but Loki... He has no idea. I need you to come with me Darc!" Jane begged.
"No way Jane... Sorry but I can't help you."
"Oh please Darcy! You're my best friend!"
"Oh no you don't. Don't you dare play the best friend card." Darcy warned.
"But Darcy!" Jane whined.
"No."
"But-"
"I said no Jane!" Darcy exclaimed.
"I'll buy you stuff."
"Deal." Darcy said with a smirk. She turned around to face Jane, who had a huge smile on her face.
"Thank you Darc! I knew I could count on you!"
"Yeah, yeah.. What do you need to go shopping for anyways?" Darcy asked as she applied some brown smoky eye shadow and a flick of eyeliner to her blue eyes.
"Loki needs new clothes. He can't exactly go walking around in his Asgard get up." Jane explained as she stood up.
"Can't he just magic up some clothes?" Darcy questioned.
"That's what I said, but apparently, Odin has taken his powers. He is a 'mere mortal' now." Jane said. Darcy nodded before turning her attention to her phone.
"Oh, okay.. Just go and get dressed okay? I can see your butt in that thing." Darcy said and Jane laughed before leaving.
Shopping was a long task, but not as painful as she thought it would be, though by the end of it, Darcy was completely exhausted. They had been in nearly every single shop in the mall. They had stacks of bags and clothing. Thor had bought a few new shirts and jeans, Loki had an entire new wardrobe, Jane bought a few shirts and dresses and had bought Darcy some jeans, a hoodie and T-shirt as promised. As they sat in the car, Jane driving, Thor next to her and Darcy and Loki in the back, it was awkwardly silent. Well, it was for Loki and Darcy; Jane and Thor were back into their own little lovey-dovey world. They sat in the back seats, not saying a word to each other. Eventually, Darcy became fed up with it, and looked at Loki. He was wearing some new clothes now, a white shirt, thin black tie, Black leather jacket and dark blue jeans. He looked better; But then again, anything looked better than a full Leather outfit. Darcy had to admit, he looked good in normal clothes, the only thing that was annoying her was her hair. She stared at it, all black and shiny and slicked back and long. Sure, it may have been accepted in Asgard or where ever, but on earth, it was a no no. In her eyes anyway. She hated long hair, accept Thor's of course, his hair was just luscious.
Loki obviously saw her out of the corner of his eye and turned his head. Darcy continued to look at him, not deterred, even as he frowned at her.
"Go to Beth's." Darcy said to Jane, keeping her eyes locked with Loki's. Jane looked over her shoulder for a second.
"Why?"
"Loki here needs a haircut, and if we don't go to the salon, I'll do it myself." She said with a devilish smile, enjoying how his gaze faltered as she threatened to lop off his locks.
"Is that necessary?" He asked, finally averting his eyes.
"Yep. Sorry, you have no choice in the matter." Darcy said, folding her arms across her chest, smiling victoriously as Loki said nothing.
They were only in the salon for about 35 minutes. He had his hair washed and cut short; you could make a wig out of all the hair that was lopped off. Once they had paid they left and headed back to the car. When they were walking down the street, they passed a few people. Darcy had to fight back a laugh as woman walked passed Loki and stared at him. Loki didn't know what to do with himself, and Darcy just smiled. They finally got back to the car and piled in. The drive back home was just as silent as before, but Loki kept of feeling his new hair, obviously trying to adjust to it.
Once home, everyone went to their rooms to put their things away. Darcy grabbed her laptop and went into the living room, and sat on the couch with her legs up on the other seats. She checked the usual things: Facebook, twitter, tumblr, YouTube... Once she got bored, she started to finish her paper she had to write for an assignment for college. It was a math paper, and it was pretty hard. Darcy was okay at math, but not a genius. She had her strengths and weaknesses. She had been frowning at her laptop for about half an hour when someone stood behind the couch, looking at her. She turned her head to see Loki standing there.
"Yes?" She asked, but not nastily.
"What are you doing?" He asked, staring at the laptop, eyes wide.
"Oh, just trying to finish this math paper before tomorrow. I've had a week to do it, but I am the queen of doing things the last minute." She said as she looked to the impossible math problem on the screen. Loki walked to the arm of the couch behind Darcy's head to get a better look at the screen. "It's impossible to do it." She sighed. Loki said nothing for a few moments.
"No it's not. It's simple really." He pointed to a part of the equation and explained what she had to do to solve the whole problem. Everything he said made sense.
"Okay, well, I look stupid." Darcy said as she finished the paper and closed the laptop. She moved her legs and grabbed the remote. She looked to Loki, who was still stood behind her. "Seriously, I don't need to tell you when to sit down, do I?" She asked. He sat down on the opposite end of the couch and Darcy turned the TV on. Again, she surfed through the channels at a fast pace.
"What is it we viewed last time?" Loki asked.
"Family guy."
"Yes, let's never watch that again. What a ridiculous thing." He said. Darcy shrugged and decided on some thing to watch, though she wasn't paying attention. She looked to Loki, who was obviously still trying to figure out the TV. When she'd first found out he was staying with her Thor and Jane, she hadn't been happy at all. She hated him then. He tried to take over the world. Of course, she had let Jane know this. She couldn't see anything good about the man, any redeeming qualities. But now, watching his sit and stare at the TV, in normal clothes, with normal short hair... He seemed a bit more human. And she could put up with that. What? She had been living with him for two days; she still wasn't exactly his biggest fan. Destroying a city kinda ruins a person's opinion about another person.
AN: I know there's not a lot here, I wish I could have done more. Anyway, please review. Sorry again x
