Day Six: Telephone

"Thor, stop messing with it or you'll break it," Loki reprimanded seriously, frowning as Darcy laughed at the thunder god, trying puzzlingly to type a message into her iPhone, his thick fingers pressing two buttons at once upon the touch screen.

"I'm being careful," the blonde replied thoughtfully, his bright eyes reflected in the text box on the phone in his iron grip. Sif, standing with her hand resting against her hip, hovered just behind him, her elbow resting on the back of his chair, her eyes flickering searchingly as she stared, amazed, at the piece of technology.

"And mortals use these to communicate?" Sif asked reservedly as Darcy smiled enthusiastically, gazing at Thor's small movements, and he finally managed to send Jane a text message.

"Yeah, all the time," the assistant murmured absently as he handed her back the phone, smiling proudly at his accomplishment. Sitting beside Thor, curled away as far as possible on the small seat, Loki rolled his eyes, and Sif scooted over to the back of his chair and placed her warm, soft palms on his shoulders, smiling down at the top of his head as he relaxed against the cushions.

"He's excited. Be happy for him," she whispered beneath her breath while Darcy and Thor began to talk animatedly about how he could acquire a phone of his own, and the girl smiled as she told him he'd have to be on Earth to use it.

"I know. It's just…these mortals-"

She squeezed his shoulders comfortingly, interrupting him as he relaxed his head to gaze up at her, his green eyes wide and bright with the light caught in them.

"Are just that. There's no need to get jealous."

Rolling his eyes, he turned his attention back to his brother, and Sif twirled a strand of his hair around her finger, wondering when Loki would give in to the curiosity no doubt gnawing at him (and she was, admittedly, hoping he'd finally ask to see the phone, so that she could do the same without him glaring at her the entire time).

Please R&R! Feedback of any kind is always appreciated! ;) The angsty fic is tomorrow. Mwuahaha. :]
