Dreaming of You
This is my first attempt at a song fic, so bear with me.
The song is from the Selena soundtrack, and it's called 'Dreaming of You'.
My friend downloaded it on my Napster, and I totally loved it to death.
I was looking through my song files and I figured this was as good a song as
any to do a fic on. I don't know if it's any good, but I don't think it's
that great. I don't own the song or the characters. I do, however, own the
story, so--Well, you know the drill. Just please, don't sue!!!
Oh yeah, and check out my first fan fic, Desperate to be Yours, and R/&/R.
Serena sat up in bed and leaned against her pillows.
"Oh, Darien," she sighed. "Why do you have to play these games?"
Her cat, Luna, was sleeping soundly on the dresser, and Serena could hear her
little brother snoring away in the next room. She knew that her parents
were dead to the world as well. She turned her head and saw that her daughter,
Rini, (in disguise as her small cousin) was also dreaming with a peaceful
smile on her little face. Everyone in the house was sleeping except for
Serena, who was awake thinking about her boyfriend--was he still her boyfriend?
She didn't really know.
*Destiny will bring us back together, Serena.* Her brain reminded her.
*Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I wish on a star that somewhere you are
Thinking of me too.*
"Psst! Serena!" She contained a shriek when she heard a voice at her window.
"Andrew?" she gasped incredulously as she saw Darien's best friend leaning in
her window. "What the hell are you doing here at-" she checked her clock.
"3 am?!"
"What are you doing up at 3 am?" he countered in reply. He tossed a folded
note towards her and it landed on her bed. Serena picked it up and glanced at
it. 'Serena' was written on the front of the note in Darien's flowing script.
Her heart soared and she looked at Andrew, who shrugged.
"I gotta go, Sere.
"Try and get some sleep, girl. Hang in there, I'll see you tommor-okay, today."
She nodded as he climbed back out through her window and disappeared.
Her heart pounding, Serena unfolded the note and read it.
*Serena,
I'm so sorry that I disappeared on you, Sere.
I never meant to hurt you, but it was vital-
to be honest, it was life and death. No joke.
I don't know when I'll see you again, Sere.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. You know I'd stay if
I could, but try to understand. I have to go
away for a little while, the day after tomorrow.
I can't tell you where I'm going. I can't even
give you a definite answer to when I'll be back.
But don't worry, I'll be okay. And you'll be fine-
the scouts will protect you. I love you, Sere. Take
care, please? For me.
Love always,
Darien.*
Eventually Serena fell asleep and was thrown into a torturing dream about her
love.
In her dream, Darien wasn't leaving and the two were more in love then ever. But she knew that when morning came, she would be alone again.
Who knew how long it would be until she saw Darien again?
*Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me*
Serena awoke an hour later, her digital bunny clock flashing 4:09.
*I have to see him,* she thought in a panic. Her dream had turned into a nightmare
that only Darien could soothe. She grabbed a long coat and snuck out her
window.
At Darien's apartment...
Serena quietly opened the window to Darien's room. Thank God his rooms were on the bottom floor. She climbed through it and slipped into his room.
She heard him breathe a little faster and she wondered if he knew of her
existence in the room. *Can he see me?* she questioned the ceiling.
*Wonder if you ever see me
And I wonder if you know I'm there
If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what's inside
Would you even care?*
Darien sat up in his bed, his heart pounding. Someone was in his room! He tensed,
wondering if he should transform into Tuxedo Mask. But then, moonlight streamed
through his window and showed the silhouette of a figure.
He sighed in relief when he saw the outline of Serena's meatballs.
"Hey, Sere," he yawned. "What are you doing here so late-uh, I guess I mean so
early," he continued after a double take at his clock.
Serena crawled into the bed beside him and pulled the warm blankets to her chin,
staring at his profile in the dark. She wanted him to hold her so much,
and she wanted to tell him how much she loved him-who knew how long it would
be until she saw him again?-but she couldn't. She didn't have the nerve. But oh,
how she ached to be held, to be loved.
*I just wanna hold you close
But so far all I have a dreams of you
So I wait for the day
And the courage to say how much I love you
Yes I do!*
She didn't answer, just snuggled down in the blankets with his arm tightly
around her.
"Night, Sere," he murmured, already lost in a dream. Soon, Serena slipped off
to join him in slumber. Another dream of him filled her senses, but this one
remained pleasant. She cherished the dream-tomorrow she would hold him tightly
for the last time in-how long, she didn't know.
*I'll be dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me*
The next day, Darien sat in his Spanish class, vaguely listening to his teacher
drone on about a Spanish love poem.
"I can't stop dreaming of you," Mr. Haika-Chan read dryly. The dark-haired student
snapped to attention and began to listen to the poem.
*Corazón
I can't stop dreaming of you
No puedo dejar de pensar en ti
I can't stop dreaming
Cómo te necesito
I can't stop dreaming of you
Mi amor, cómo te extraño*
After class, Darien flew from the school and across the town to Serena's high
school, where he waited until the final dismissal bell rang. Serena came skipping
out, her blonde meatballs bouncing and her moonlight blue eyes sparkling. She
stopped in shock when she saw her boyfriend leaning casually against a fence,
smiling at her. For a few seconds, she stood grinning back at him. Then she
noticed the crowd of dreamy girls surrounding him and went bounding up to him.
"Hiya, girls! I see you've met my, ahem, boyfriend, Darien." She said pointedly,
though not unkindly.
"Oh, uh, yeah. It was nice to meet you, Damien-Darien, you idiot!-yeah,
whatever. Bye." The girls mumbled as they more-or-less fled the area.
"Jealous, Meatball-Head?" Darien asked Serena, smiling down at her.
"Me? 'Course not," she lied.
"Hey, Sere--I'll be right back, all right?" he asked gently.
"Uh, yeah." Serena replied in confusion.
Darien walked away and turned a corner, then returned with a long stemmed red
rose.
"Serena, I love you," he said, point-blank.
"What?" she stammered, her moonlight-colored eyes wide and unblinking.
"You heard me," he murmured sweetly, staring into them. "I love you like crazy,
Sere."
Serena felt like she was going to faint as she gazed into Darien's sapphire-blue
eyes.
"Oh, Muffin!" she finally shrieked. "I love you too!" she flung herself into
his arms.
A huge sweatdrop appeared on Darien's temple and he threw an arm
behind his head.
"Aw, keep it down, Meatball-Head," he whimpered, looking around to see if
anyone had heard that cursed nickname. Of course, her entire school had.
Darien winced.
Late that night...
Serena was sitting on the over-stuffed chair in her bedroom, staring dreamily
into space.
Again, the entire house was sleeping, but she was up thinking about Darien.
She still couldn't believe that he had said he loved her.
"Oh, Darien," she whispered sweetly. "I love you, too."
*Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe
That you came up to me and said "I love you"
I love you too!*
Darien and Serena, though across the city from each other, were locked in the
same dream together. A sweet dream it was, full of tender promises and eternal
love. Together, they dreamt all through the night of things that would be.
*Now I'm dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming of you endlessly*
Serena awakened to the slow, cool light of dawn. She had dreamed of Darien
endlessly last night. She hoped he had dreamed of her, too.
*Dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room
I'll be dreaming of you tonight
Endlessly*
Serena got out of bed and dressed in slim fitting pants and a tank top-her
typical jogging outfit. Closing the front door quietly behind her with a soft
click, she trotted down the steps and began slowly running towards the park a
few blocks away. When she arrived, she took a few laps around, then settled on
a bench to watch the sunrise.
"Incredible, isn't it?" a low voice sounded above her ear. Serena jumped in
surprise and looked up to see Darien.
"It's gorgeous," she agreed of the blushing pink-and-gold sky.
"Not as gorgeous as this girl I know," he whispered.
Serena felt her chest tighten. After all he'd said yesterday-it was over? Just
like that?
"Oh?" she said, fighting to keep her voice neutral.
"Yeah--She's the most fantastic-looking girl I've ever seen," Darien tried
not to laugh. Serena actually thought he was talking about someone else.
As if any other girl could ever compare. Okay, he couldn't contain his smirk
anymore.
"God, Sere, it's you!" he laughed. Serena's face broke into the biggest
smile Darien had ever seen.
"I love you, Sere," he murmured. "And no one else."
"I love you, too, Darien!" Serena declared passionately. "Eternally."
*And I'll be holding you tight
Dreaming...with you...tonight!*
