Who: Darcy Lewis & Peter Quill
What: Netflix and no pants
When: Friday evening
Rating/Warnings: TBD? It's Darcy and Quill. Who knows.

It had been about a month since Darcy found herself in this weird parallel universe and she was finally starting to feel like her life might be coming together. Finding out about Jane's illness immediately upon her arrival made it more difficult to settle in since she was worried and spending a lot of her time hovering, much to Jane's chagrin.

The treatment that Stark and Banner came up with seemed to be working though, or at least seemed like it was going to work, though far more slowly than Darcy would prefer. Still, she knew that there wasn't anything she could really do for Jane right now, other than drive her crazy, so she decided to finally do the things she'd been putting off since her arrival. In part, that was making a decision about what she wanted to do job wise. It also included going through the boxes of belongings that Jane had in storage from the previous versions of her.

She also needed to actually make some friends instead of just making blatant remarks to everyone on the network. Peter seemed like a good place to start with that since they clearly had a lot in common.

"I have pizza and beer," she called when she got to his front door. "Open up and let me in so I can take my pants off."

Peter had already forgotten Darcy was coming over. It wasn't really his fault -- it was Netflix's fault for having such damn good shows. Laying down on the couch, he had been engrossed in some lame reality tv show when he heard Darcy.

Perking up, he went to the door and opened it. He was actually in a pair of sweats and a muscle shirt but that was easily remedied. "Duuuude." He took the pizza and beer from her appreciatively, and walked inside, trusting that she'd follow.

"Coooool. This is cool. Thanks, buddy! Drax is out doing who knows what so it's just us."

"Cool," Darcy said, following him inside and immediately kicking off of her shoes. She wasn't normally one to stand on ceremony anyway and from her conversations so far with Quill, she knew he wasn't either. It was kind of nice having some built in friendships and he seemed like a cool guy.

She looked around the house, not surprised that it definitely looked like a bachelor pad. "So what are we watching tonight?" she asked.

"I''m in the mood for being as confused as possible," Peter called out from the kitchen. He grabbed napkins, and mugs (in case Darcy felt like being fancy), and brought them to the living room. There was a large coffee table that he had set the pizza on, and it was surrounded by a huge leather sectional.

One bonus to having everything paid for meant that for the first time in Peter's life, he had disposable income. He liked buying stuff. Like the giant TV and surround sound.

"So how does mother! sound? Jennifer Lawrence is hot and so is Javier Bardem. Did you know he's banging Penelope Cruz?" Peter loved Wikipedia. It was one of his favourite things about Terra.

Darcy was not the fancy type so she ignored the mugs in favor of popping the cap off of a bottle and taking a long drink before setting it down. The leather sofa looked comfy, though she hoped that she wouldn't get sweaty and stick to it once she took off her pants. Though she figured it might be safer to wait to remove them until after she finished eating pizza. The idea of hot cheese burns was not appealing.

"I'm definitely into hot people," she said. "I don't think I heard much about that flick." She had a vague recollection that it sounded like one of those pretentious, arty things that wouldn't likely make a lot of sense. "So, sure, why not."

She flopped back on the sofa and reached for a slice of pizza.

"Hot people are way better than non-hot people." Settling down in his own arm chair, Peter slouched down and reached for his own slice.

The movie was, predictably, very confusing. He had no idea what was going on, and he felt it was stupid to begin with. The guests were horrible, the main characters were vapid, and he really was only watching for Jennifer Lawrence's ass.

At some point, he'd gone to sit next to Darcy (since she was closer to the beer) and currently, found that her legs were draped over his lap while he was rubbing her feet. He liked giving foot massages, and found that it was a good way to keep his mind occupied.

This Darcy was just as hot as the last one, but unlike last time, they weren't both dealing with the end of serious relationships. Past Darcy was his inappropriate buddy but never THAT inappropriate. He found his body was wondering why.

"Well, that was a waste of time well spent, hey?"

The movie made no sense and at some point, Darcy had wandered off to nose around Peter's place, including helping herself to one of his over-sized t-shirts that she changed into. "You are never allowed to pick the movie again," she said, her bare legs stretched over his lap, quite enjoying the unexpected foot rub.

"So, did we ever hook up?" she asked. "Because I seriously do not understand why the other mes would pick Loki over you."

"Nope, and looking back, I mean, it made sense. I ...have like a soulmate or something in another universe. There were two versions of her here, and then ...she was gone." Peter looked down and focused on Darcy's foot. The toenail polish was glittery. That seemed to make sense.

Clearing his throat, he continued talking. "Anyways. When Gamora left the first time, and Darcy broke up with Loki ...we were both pretty fucked up. We were basically each other's wing person, and we made a lot of stupid, inappropriate decisions. And then Darcy was gone and I had to figure out if I wanted to drink myself stupid or not ...and then Gamora came back. So that was cool ..until again, she was gone."

He sighed and leaned back on the couch.

"So yeah, long story? No, we never did anything. We were both too fucked up for that, and probably never sober enough to consent to anything and that's pretty fucking important to me....and who knows? Other you seemed to like the magic. You had like this magic snake, and had Allspeak or some shit. It was neat. We prank called Germany a lot."

"So basically this place sucks," Darcy concluded. She was glad that she didn't have anything remotely close to a soulmate in any universe. At least, she assumed that was the case. "Getting drunk and making stupid decisions sounds like me though."

She wrinkled her nose about the magic thing. Maybe she'd been younger and more easily impressed or something. "Sorry about your soulmate. Maybe she'll come back again." Of course, even if she did, he wouldn't have any guarantee that she'd stick around and that would probably still suck.

	"This place does suck," Peter agreed, nodding his head. "But I think all places suck? It's just ..accepting a certain level of suck ... or something." He had a nice little buzz going. "I'm not worrying about Gamora though. I mean, I was alone for a long time before her." Peter shrugged. "It is what it is?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	snarkyintern 2019-05-22 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	Darcy nodded. "Her loss," she said. "You give a hell of a footrub." Sure, it might not be Gamora's fault that she kept bouncing in and out of this universe, but whatever. Details. "Relationships are overrated anyway." Every time she attempted one, it failed miserably and she just didn't see the point in trying anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Preach."

He was over it too. Even though part of him ached when he thought of Gamora, and he didn't think that would ever go away ... it was easier to slip back into his past behaviours.

Hos in different area codes, brother.

Or in his case, girls in every sandwich shop.

He raised an eyebrow and smirked at Darcy. "Is this where I say, nice toenails, wanna fuck?"

	Not sure if he was seriously offering or making a joke, Darcy was careful with her reply. She didn't want to screw up by reading this wrong since Peter was cool. "That's a pretty terrible pick up line," she said. "Do you think something like that would really work on me?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"If it doesn't work on you, there's no hope left in this world," Peter said with a laugh. "I thought you'd appreciate the finesse in how I delivered it." He reached up and gave her side a tickle.

"But legit, you're hot, I'm hot, and since we never tapped it when we were single before, hey, I'm game. I'm probably the most low-key friend with benefits you'll ever have because,no offense, I won't fall in love with you."

In over 30 years, he'd only done that once, and had no interest in repeating it again.

"I might be easy, but I'm not that easy," Darcy protested, wriggling a little to try and escape his tickling hand.

She grinned though and shifted so she was straddling his lap. "But, hey, if you promise not to fall in love, how can I turn down an offer like that?" He was definitely hot and she was kind of bored so having someone to hook up with would not be a bad thing.

It wasn't as if Darcy was the kind of girl who needed flowers or romance or sweet words. She leaned in to press her lips against Peter's, hoping that he was a good kisser. If he wasn't, this would never work.

	Peter was an excellent kisser. He had to be, considering he hadn't always kissed fully human beings before. Pressing back intently, he let his arms move up from her feet to her waist, roaming up and down her skin. She was warm and willing, and he found himself reacting in kind.

In walked Drax. He considered himself built for stealth and strength, and that is why no one noticed him as he drew closer. And closer. And even closer.

Only a being whose very being encompassed silence could eat cheesy nachos while watching two Terrans swap spit. It was disgusting, but not enough to deter him from eating.

A chip very slowly raised up to his parting lips, was inserted into his mouth, and Drax began to chew on it. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.

	The crunching sound was enough to distracted Darcy from kissing Peter and how nice his hands felt against her skin. She didn't move off of Peter's lap, but she did pull back from the kiss so she could figure out what was going on. "Uh... hi?" she said when she realized that Drax was standing right there watching them make out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Peter leaned forward and groaned into Darcy's neck, mentally counting to ten and then twenty before looking up, glaring daggers at Drax.

"Goddamnit, Drax, go away. Seriously. You're interrupting and being annoying." He paused for a moment. "Wait, when did we get nachos?" It'd been a while since he'd gone to the grocery store, and Drax was still banned from the local bodego.

"I went to another boat tango," Drax replied, swirling a half-limp chip in some coagulating cheese sauce. "Is this female one of your many sandwich girls?"

He looked at Darcy. "Hello. I am Drax. If you are skilled in the art of sandwiches, let it be known we are fond of the pea nut butters and jellies."

He stuck that chip in his mouth and chewed, with minor crunching this time. That cheese made the chips limper than Quill's genitalia was going to be, at this rate. Not that Drax was thinking about that. All he could think about was not your cheese and anything put between two slices of bread.

	"I'm Darcy," she said. "We talked on the network." She had no idea what he meant by sandwich girls and was pretty sure she didn't want or need to know. His presence definitely killed the mood though. Plus now she kind of wanted nachos. "And what is a boat tango and why do they have nachos?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thehoffs_twin 2019-05-30 09:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Bodega," Peter enunciated. The mood was absolutely wrecked now, and he extricated himself from Darcy's limbs. "Ignore him. He's from outer space and never learned manners apparently." He stretched his arms above his head, his shirt lifting up a bit to show a bit of pudge. One day he'd deal with it. Maybe. He was comfy though. "Who wants a beer?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The big rude alien shrugged like it was a matter of tomato, toe-mah-toe.

In response to Darcy, Drax nodded in greeting. He did so while chewing, luckily with his mouth closed. Once his mouth wasn't full, he managed to say, "Beer goes well with not your cheese and chips. I would greatly enjoy a beer, my friend."

He wasted zero time sitting down on one end of the couch, and eating another chip, holding out the little container holding the nachos.

"I know it is not yours but I will share it with you," he said in what was meant to be a confidential tone, but was being done at full volume. "Do not tell Quill. He should refrain from over eating."

	Darcy almost managed not to laugh. Almost. "Yeah, okay, let's have a beer and some nachos," she said, tossing a rueful glance in Quill's direction. Next time, she'd invite him over to her place so they wouldn't be interrupted. [and wrap!] (Reply to this) (Parent)
