Love, Just Love Away

My Dear Darcy

Darcy's Pov:

I got a glass of water for Loki.

"Thank you. I appreciate your help." He said.

I started to blush.

"Your welcome. Are you sure you don't want anything to eat?" I ask again hoping he'll eat something.

"Well, I'll have the Fruit Loops? Is that how you say it?" He asked confused. I nod and get him a bowl full of the cereal.

He takes a bite and smiles. "I like this cereal. It is good and seems to have sugar."

"I'm glad you're not like Thor smashing the bowl to the ground wishing for another." I say smirking. He laughs and shakes his head toward the thought.

I hear a ding run threw the house and heads toward the door. I open it and see nothing. Hmph, I think.

"Who was it?" Loki asked, intrigued with the cereal.

"Oh, it was nobody. Probably just kids playing around." I say. I hope Jane doesn't call. I can't have her rushing to S.H.E.I.L.D. about this. He just seems so peaceful here where no one knows where he's at.

If Loki were to be discovered, I'd be a mess. Wait, what?! Why would I think that? Well, he's a friend now. And friends stick together.

"I cannot help but ponder what you're thinking about." Loki said while I was in a trance. I quickly snapped out of it and answered him.

"Oh it's nothing." I said as I grabbed a wet cloth of cold water.

I dabbed his facial wounds and he didn't wince once. I asked him if he had any others on his back. He nodded and turned around taking off his armor and under shirt.

As he did so, my eyes grew large. I dabbed the cuts and few bruises. As if he could sense me staring he said, "Liking the view?" I shook it off and he chuckled.

After I was done he put his under shirt on.

"My dear Darcy, thank you for caring for me." He said graciously.

He called me his dear Darcy. I couldn't help but smile, inside and out. He noticed this and smiled at his feet, not wanting eye contact.

"Your welcome, Loki." That's when he asked if he could stay.

"Sure, but you'll have to do some chores." I said giggling.

"Okay?"

"Okay." He said.

"Lady Darcy? Where do I sleep?" Loki asked shyly.

"You can sleep in my bed. I'll take the couch." I said.

"Thank you. I appreciate this more than you can imagine." Loki stated.

I fell asleep on the couch with my TV on in a matter of minutes. Loki in my bed. He'll have to take the couch tomorrow night.
