Summary: Well I actually attempted a drabble and it became this: a short fic about Michael and Maria getting to know each other before Liz got shot.
Disclaimer: Don't own 'em. Wish I did.
Part One
Maria power walked her way through the empty school hallway, hoping not to run into one of the newly discovered little green men. After learning of real live aliens living in Roswell, New Mexico, Maria was a bundle of nerves.
She'd tried to be strong for Liz but couldn't help feeling nervous, anxious and border-lined terrified whenever she caught a glimpse of Michael, Max and Isabelle. And she could have sworn that Michael Guerin, resident badass, had been popping up everywhere today with his signature scowl and fuck you attitude.
If she didn't know any better it would seem that he was following her...but that was ridiculous. There was no way that Michael would even waste the time or take the effort to care about stalking her. He was cute and she had the hugest crush on him. Even his new status of "Not of This Earth hadn't" shook the butterflies she felt whenever he was around.
Still there was no way that Michael was following her around.
Yet she could have sworn...
Shaking the disturbing thoughts, Maria stopped at her locker to grab her things before going home for the day. Too caught up in her free period in the music room Maria had lost track of time and by now the school was deserted. In fact it was especially deserted given that it was Friday and the student body (as well as the teachers) wanted to start their weekend as quickly as possible.
After grabbing her jacket, car keys and the required textbooks for the weekend Maria began to walk towards the exit closest to her car. As she passed the Eraser Room, she could have sworn she'd heard a sound coming from inside it but shrugged it off knowing that the events that took place inside the Eraser Room were none of her business.
Then suddenly she heard it open from behind her, she turned to see who was coming out of it (to be the first to know weekend gossip was awesome!) but was stopped and without warning she was pulled inside and pushed against the now closed door.
Strong hands held her in a vise-like grip while covering her mouth, preventing Maria from using any of the self-defence techniques she'd studied during her mother-daughter, self-defence weekend retreat or crying out for help. And in addition it was too dark to see her assailant.
"Shhh. I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to make sure you'll shut your trap about us"
"Mmmw Gwb?" She managed to mumble through the hand covering her mouth.
"Don't scream okay?"
She nodded, too troubled to remember that in the dark he couldn't see her nod, but he must have felt her since he slowly removed his hand and eased his grip on her body.
"Michael Guerin?" Maria yelled "How dare you grab me like some barbarian, pulling me into this, this room of sin! You gripped me so tightly I'm sure you left marks! Of all the aliens I know, you have to be the most infuriating and abusive. And I'm sure you've been following me around! Watching me, thinking about me, keeping close to me, what is wrong with you? You sicko! What did the crash do something to your brain? I swear-"
Than Michael did something neither of them saw coming.
He kissed her.
