Hey guys, it's me, Jesspikapal, but you probably already knew that! ;)
So anyways, I was thinking, since I got a good review for my first Darren/Hanna fiction and people seem to like this couple, I'm going to do a hundred theme challenge thingy. :) I should probablypost the rules so that you know I'm not gonna cheat or anything... ^^;
1. Though stories can range from K-M, there should be no explicit content that could offend any viewers.
2. Follow the order, otherwise things will get complicated for you. If you have issues with keeping to rules, post the themes up so your viewers will know what's coming next. (I don't have to do this, because I'm quite the honest person and stick to themes; I'm already doing two of these challenges on different fandoms. xD)
3. Have fun! Don't get yourself stressed over something that it is both optional and for fun! ^-^
So anyways, my first theme is "Hello" and I hope it's ok for you. Also, some will vary in length; some will be shorter than others as some will obviously be longer than others.
Please review! :D

Hello- "In reality, it's a good way to greet someone. In fantasy, it's a good way of saying, "Welcome to my world..."..."

Strangers. They're quite dangerous. So don't ask me how I got so close to a detective I hardly even know. Scratch that, I don't know him, yet I seem to know what he's about; he has this attitude - this "don't mess with me" attitude - and this... air about him that screams "business!" like a bill-board.
If I was to be completely honest, I'd say he's a little indifferent about everthing. Besides his work that is. When it comes to his work, he's very passionate; passionate about the answers he needs and how to get them. I fell into that same trap, right from day one. He threads words like magic, a total mystery until you actually figure out what he's trying to do to you. He's always trying to weaken someone, and to make someone feel smaller than him (not hard - he's ever so tall), so that they're intimidated and give him what he wants. I'd never caved and confided in him about "A", but I've been damn close... more than once.
Hanna Marin. That's me, and if you ask Wilden himself, he'll most definitely agree with you. He's ever so... I don't even know the right word, but I'll tell you one thing, and that's that I can't help but crush on him. There, I said it. A guy who's quite a bit older than me, doesn't know me outside of professionalism and is a total jerk when searching for answers from innocent people - including me - is the one I'm crushing on. There's probably something wrong with me. I'll never breathe a word of it to anyone, though I can't help but feel that Wilden deserves to know, way out of my possible-date scope or not.
I remember the first time we ever met. At my doorstep, twenty fourth of June - Summer, though it was night time. When I opened the door and saw him (and another officer, but I wasn't looking at him) I was so suprised; I'd never seen such a cute older guy at my door and briefly wondered if my mom had finally hitched up with someone new, getting over Dad by miles in a sudden train of thought.
"Hanna Marin?" he asked, his cool voice like a melody, so smooth, I have to admit I lost myself a little. But I'd never be so dumb as to lose myself over a boy - well, a man. I looked up at him and met his eyes, realising in a split second that I knew him from somewhere. Those eyes, impossible to forget with their green-blue mischievious shimmer, reminded me of somebody. Somebody who I knew, or, at least, used to know. Maybe I was being silly... but I was so sure. I knew this man; true, he was older than me, but he still looked fairly young, possibly in his early or mid twenties. Maybe he was from my school, or something lame like that and I'd just never got a good look at him before (obviously him having left before I got a chance to).
"Yes, why?" I questioned, my voice as per usual, strong and sturdy, despite my mixed feelings inside. It seemed he was playing with me as he locked eyes in a passionate stare, letting me know he was somehow onto me.
"Is your mother home?"
I suddenly felt very self-concious, but before I could say something else, my mom approached and our gaze was broken.
"What's this about?" she demanded, though she was careful since he was in a uniform, badge and all.
But I already knew what it was about. I could hear him spilling it to my mom, about the sunglasses and the shoplifting from Rosewood Shopping Centre, but I wasn't really listening.
I heard the words "Detective Darren Wilden" and I guessed that was his name.
I felt ashamed, but if it brought this cop to my door, then I suppose it's worth the shame. Still, my mom was more important than this... this stranger! So why was I ok with it as he turned back to me?
"Would you turn around?" the male officer questioned me, his voice so low and husky, it was a wonder my mom didn't question it. His tone, quiet, yet professional, sent a series of shivers down my spine as I slowly turned around, my hands behind my back as I knew what was coming. For the most part anyways. I hadn't expected to feel gentle hands as he clipped the handcuffs around my wrists, his fingers lingering there a second longer than they actually needed to. He was so sneaky about it, yet I knew what he was doing. In his own way, he was so obvious, but I guess only certain people could see that, because my mom or the officer didn't stir a bit. I did, as an electric frizzle passed between us; I was sure I'd imagined it, and maybe I had, but it still excited me.
I could be going to jail, and all I can think of is how damn cute he is...
Not my thoughts to the exact note, but that's roughly accurate. Nowadays, I've noticed he's softer with me - or he sure seems like it! - when questioning me, regardless of whether I'm with my friends, Spencer, Aria and Emily, or alone. It's like, no one can hear or see how differently he treats me to the others, but me. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely sure he's aware of it, and that he knows he's doing it, but it still makes me wonder. And it still makes shivers go down my spine; he's disappeared for a while now, and I haven't got a single trace of him. My mother is delighted and I suppose, inwardly, I'm slightly relieved too, but only because it's a chance for me to get my feelings and urges in check. He makes it difficult, but I will do it; I'll never be dependent on a guy, whether I really ought to or not!
The funny thing is that, he never even said "Hello". He just kind of... jumped into my life unexpectedly, and then before I realised it, jumped back out again, appearing from time to time to remind me just how real and out-of-reach he was. I'd never say it to a soul, not even my mom who I trust with everything I have, that I like him. That I'm "into him" a little more than I should be... or a lot. It's not really my choice anymore.
I like him. But it couldn't work out... could it? But Aria and her english teacher... that was real... wasn't it? I suppose it's not the same thing, because Mr. Fitz isn't out to arrest Aria, but Darren Wilden is. And he's coming for me in particular.
All without a hello...

Done! Short I know, but as I said, they'll vary in length anyways. This was mainly to get this tricky topic out of the way. I always HATE starter topics! They're always so complicated! D:
I hope this wasn't too OOC, but I thought giving Hanna a slighlty deeper perspective would really help to get the message across that she likes him, that bit smoother and sophisticated.
PLEASE review! And remember, this is just the first topic of many; I won't give update info, since I'm terrible at sticking to deadlines, probably becuase I'm so busy with other stories on other forums too! xD
