~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Darcy cursed as she wrestled with the present. The wrapping paper was not cooperating, per usual. She had picked out a green gift wrap that had little reindeers on it. She thought that Loki would not appreciate it, but she sure would.

Wrapping presents was not an easy feat, but she was determined. She got out her heavy duty tape, and circled around the present like she was a wrestler. "Now listen here, buddy, if you don't fricking work with me here, I will rip you to shreds! And I don't care that you cost me $24.99."

Darcy reconsidered her statement. "Well, okay, maybe I do care, and maybe I won't rip you to shreds, but I'll do something gosh darn it!"

She carefully approached the present and did her best to fold and tape the peculiar-shaped item. As she was in the middle of taping, a knock sounded at her bedroom door, making her lose her focus.

Without even waiting to see who it was, she yelled, "No!" She heard someone scoff from the other side, and she knew who it was. "You can't come in right now, I'm, uh... changing."

She could practically hear his smirk. "Is that supposed to keep me out?" Now it was her turn to scoff.

"Yes! And I'm not changing, so don't come in you perv!" Loki sighed, but didn't come in. Darcy was grateful for her small victories.

The present was only halfway concealed, so she brought it to her closet and hid it under some loose articles of clothing. She then opened her door, greeting Loki. He took in her out-of-breath form, and his eyes glanced at her bed.

His eyes widened, eyebrows raised. "Oh dear," he said, "did you try to kidnap someone with scotch tape? You could have asked me for help. I know much better ways to-"

"No! I did not kidnap someone." She huffed, and Loki walked further into her room so she could shut the door. She didn't want to say that she had been wrapping presents for him, because then he would try to figure out what it was. She wanted it to be a total surprise come the holidays.

He arched his eyebrow. "No? What were you doing then?" Darcy weighed her possible responses.

She settled with distraction. "Hey! You know, I was looking for you earlier. I wanted to ask you for your opinion on this new dress I bought. Want to help me put it on? The zipper's a little tricky."

Loki was a lot of things, but he was no idiot. He quickly picked up on Darcy's tactic of defense. "As much as I would love to see you in a state of undress, darling, I know that you are deflecting the question I asked."

Darcy huffed. "Okay, fine, I was wrapping a present." Loki's eyes lit up. "And no, I will not give you a single hint as to what it is. I want this to be a surprise, so don't you dare try and peek or anything."

He held his hands up in defense. "Darling, how could you think that I would ever do such a thing! I am very patient."

"Uh, no you're not. You practically throw a fit every time we have to wait in a line somewhere. Remember causing a scene at Panera?" Darcy asked.

Loki frowned. "I am a god, and a prince. I am above doing such trivial things like waiting in line amongst you mortals."

Darcy rolled her eyes. "Kay, whatever. Point is, I will tase your ass if you ever try to look and find out what it is." Loki groaned, but did not object.

"Fine. I came to get you because Steve has assembled everyone to the living room for some reason." Darcy nodded, getting up.

She turned to Loki, helping him up off the bed. "Did he say what for?"

Loki shrugged. "He did, but it went in one ear and out the other. I try not to pay too much attention to what he says. Most of it is unimportant."

Darcy rolled her eyes, but made her way to the door and opened it. She could see his eyes searching her room for whatever she was wrapping. "Uh-uh, get out here." She pulled him through the door and shut it, dragging him to whatever Steve had planned.
