For @whyndancer I know you’re having a rough time at the moment so I hope this little Tasertricks drabble-y thing makes you smile.

Jane caught the wide grin on Thor’s face and turned to see what he was smiling at. Across the lab Darcy crept on silent feet to stand behind Loki who was seated at his desk combing through old books he’d brought from Asgard. She had a pitcher of cold water in her hands. Her intent was glaringly obvious. Jane sighed softly and opened her mouth to shout a warning. The last thing she wanted was another childish prank war in her lab. Thor’s hand on her arm stopped her.

“Leave them be,” he whispered.

“But Thor, water? Lab equipment!” She returned in hushed tones.

“This is a but a game, my love. Darcy clearly wants Loki’s attention and he knows she is there. They have been dancing around each other for weeks now.”

Huh? Jane stepped closer to Thor and realized he wasn’t just amused at the antics between his brother and her lab assistant. He was actually rooting for them.

How did she miss that?

Thor stood just as a high shriek pierced the air. Jane had just enough time to see Darcy, soaking wet, being tugged onto Loki’s lap, as he laughed. A genuine laugh, too!

“Come, love, I think it prudent to take a break now,” Thor said as he gently tugged Jane towards the door.

“But my work,” she started to say until she took a quick glance over her shoulder.

Darcy was currently wrapped around Loki, her face carefully cradled between his gentle hands. Jane had no way of knowing what he said to her in that moment, but the soft look in his eyes, and Darcy’s shy smile made her think that Thor was right.

Perhaps Loki and Darcy were a thing after all.
