Darcy woke up with a gasp as soft yet piercing glare suddenly flooded through her eyelids, erupting whatever dream she was having. She groaned as she felt the weight of a headache just underneath her forehead and turned from the light pulling the blanket over her head softly. Hell, what had even happened last night, what had she said to all of them and to Loki.

Loki.

Darcy's eyes widened and she threw the blanket back remembering where she was, she realized she had slept in Loki's room and in his bed. She turned her head to see that the bathroom was empty and so was the room, she sighed laying back down and turning spreading out her body onto the soft mattress of the bed, man she wished Earth had beds like these. She wondered what it was made out of just before she froze as she felt something cold and hard touch her skin as she moved her arm slightly.

Her heart stopped for a moment until she looked beside her and then her heart stopped a little more.

Loki, the Prince of Asgard and the royal pain in the butt was sleeping beside her.

She couldn't help but stare. His pale face was wiped away from any stress or anger and was replaced with a peaceful pout, his long nose was pointed slightly upright and a hand was underneath his cheek propping him, his eyelashes looked longer than ever and they hid his green eyes. His skin was in contrast to his messy black hair, he didn't look like Loki Prince of Asgard then, he just looked like a normal guy. Darcy could hear his breathe with each rise and fall of his chest which was mostly concealed underneath the blanket.

Darcy pursed and licked her lips, she wasn't really used to this. Not since ''he'' had screwed up things for her, she would have one night stands at first to try and regain her mind and old affection for someone, she would not normally wake up with someone beside her like that. She shook her head trying to shake out her thoughts, this wasn't even sex.

Darcy gasped in quietly. She clenched her fists praying to God they hadn't done it last night, that that drink didn't let her become like she used to, she didn't feel sore and she couldn't see any real evidence they had but the fact she was in his bed unnerved her.

''Mmph.'' Loki sighed softly and incomprehensibly, his head tilted up for a moment and then fell back down suddenly his hand landed lazily on her waist pulling her into him, crap, now she was stuck with a tiny inch between his nose and her own.

She watched him fall into a peaceful slumber again and cursed in her mind. They were so close it almost hurt not to kiss his lips. At least fifteen minutes passed like this until she let out a long sigh.

''You think me asleep still?'' A deep husky voice came from beside her, her heart sped up and she opened her eyes to see Loki's own green eyes half open a ghost of a grin on his face.

''Screw you.'' Darcy muttered shoving his cold arm off of her and sitting up putting her knees to her chest. Loki glanced at her for a moment, her dark hair was entangled in this way and that and her lips were even fuller than usual, he pursed his lips.

''You would have last night, had I not been the incredibly humble gentlemen I am.'' Loki said putting a hand to his heart as he said it. Darcy's face fell into confusion as she frowned at him suspiciously.

''What do you mean?'' She questioned as he lent up gesturing at the enchanted frame.

He thought of last night and portrayed everything he saw, right down to details and he made sure she could hear what she had said too. Once it ended Darcy's mouth was wide agape and a blush appeared on her pale cheeks. Silence fell over them as Darcy didn't speak.

''What is this? Darcy Lewis the incredibly loud human doesn't know what to say, I should get you drunk more often.'' Loki said grinning with ease as she ducked her head.

''Is it me or is it really hot in here?'' Darcy asked still blushing violently.

Suddenly the door burst open to reveal Fandral standing there with a sly grin on his face. Loki cursed under his breathe which ran shivers down Darcy's body, he barely ever said things like that, she bet he thought he was too smart for that.

''Ahah! I knew it!'' Fandral shouted at them, Darcy started shaking her head but Fandral didn't spare her a glance.

''Is she a bit of fun?" Fandral asked Loki mockingly, Darcy watched Loki's gaze go dark and he clenched his teeth.

''Sorry, but I don't really like sharing, unlike you.'' Loki said icily and Fandral glared at him. He cleared his throat and looked at Darcy with a grin taking in her appearance. Loki let out an annoyed sound and he looked up returning his glare.

''Yes well, I'm here to tell you they found your mother. I'm sure she's dying to here of you two and your...adventures.'' Fandral said before shutting the door and leaving.

Loki's eyes lit up slightly at the mention of his mother and glanced at Darcy with a grin.

''Come along.'' He said obviously eager to see her, Darcy felt a small pang of pain as she wondered what it was like for moments like this with parents, she barely remembered what it was like to even see them.

''What? No. I'm not meeting her like this!" Darcy exclaimed, Loki looked agitated and walked around to her bedside and tugged on her arm causing her to stand up and be dragged by him. She started laughing at the hilarity of the situation it was like some cheesy romance comedy film. He paused staring at her.

''What is it?''

''Nothing, nothing.'' She said allowing him to take her out of the room, she supposed he wasn't up to arguing and he looked genuinely happy at the mention of his mother. She felt extremely under dressed especially since she was meeting a queen, she assumed she was kind though since Loki always liked to speak of her in a good way unlike his father or brother.

They made there way to two double doors which looked huge even compared to Loki's. The doors were painted in red and green (ironically) and were high enough to remind Darcy of Hogwarts, surprisingly Loki didn't even bother knocking and just pushed them open with one hand, as soon as they stepped in she realised it was the king's and queen's bedroom or like she would call it house.

It was even nicer than Loki's, it had a huge golden bed in the center of the room, with what she guessed were Asgardian crests on scrolls that were on the walls, there were many of those enchanted photo frames in the room which contained memories from she assumed the Queen and the King, one in particular perked her interest and she went over to it. A chubby green eyed toddler stood in green clothes along with who she assumed was Thor. She picked it up in her hands and looked at it waving it at Loki.

''Was this you? You were so adorable, so was Thor.'' Darcy said with a grin, putting it back down.

''Yes, they were.'' A kind female voice came from behind them, causing both of them to jump.

There stood Loki's well...mother. She was so beautiful, like one of those Queen's out of fairytales. She had caramel colored hair that went to her waist in a braid and a kind smile, she also wore an ankle long dress that flattered her. Darcy took one glance at her and attempted to curtsy as best she could, like she'd done with Thor. To her surprise a harmony of laughter came from both Loki and the Queen, she looked up confused and a little hurt but it melted as the Queen spoke.

''Loki, who is this? There's no need for that dear, not in times like these.'' The Queen asked with a small smile embracing her son causing a smile to lift on Loki's face, they let go and he turned to me clearing his throat.

''Mother, this is Darcy. She is from Midgard...I may need to talk to you privately soon.'' Loki said with the air of a prince, casting a look at Darcy.

''My word! Darcy you are very beautiful! My son is lucky to have you.'' The Queen said with a smile earning one back from Darcy, she liked her. Though Darcy began to shake her head about the Queen's last statement.

''Oh..I apologise, I assumed because of the necklace and her in your chambers that you-''

''Please, Fandral likes to spread lies. She merely was tired so I offered her my bed as I didn't feel comfortable with her not being protected.'' Loki said confidently though it lost some of its confidence as Frigga gave him a smile that said ''I know those are excuses, don't lie.''.

''Loki we will speak later. For now, I believe Darcy shall be dressed into something more appropriate here especially with these Frost Giant's around, she looks quite cold. Come, Darcy, I want to hear about Loki being on Midgard, it must have caused a lot of stress on you, I thank you for being there for him.'' Frigga said to Darcy walking along with her as Frigga watched Darcy begin to animatedly tell her about her son and what had happened, Loki watched after them and pursed his lips, he wanted to tell his mother about why exactly Darcy was here he highly doubted Darcy would be able to tell the truth about her past with anyone.

Thanks for reviews once again always appreciated :). In the next chapter there will be more fighting with the Frost Giants and possibly someone getting badly hurt, please review and let me know what you think of this chapter :D!
