Summary: Darien and Serena attend Tokyo Uni and have known each other for some time. When the time comes for them to be together, how many things can really get in their way?
Chapter 1: Anger & Comfort
Serena sighed as she entered her room, dropping her Blue Bear backpack unceremoniously onto the floor near her bed. Shaking her head some to ruffle the blonde bangs that tickled her eyelashes as she plopped down on her bed. Another full day of work had exhausted her and she had hoped for a relaxing winter break. Pulling her laptop from underneath her bed she set it down beside her and waited for it to boot up from hibernation. Lying back against her celestial bed set, Luna slunk over and decided to make her chest her new bed. Automatically, Serena began to pet her and winced as Luna extended her claws in pleasure, digging them into her breasts. Grabbing the Russian Blue's paws she shook her head and pursed her lips. Before she could chide the cat, Sailor Moon's ringtone began to chime from her phone. Grabbing her sidekick, she picked it up, without looking she failed to realize that it was her ex, Diamond calling.
"Hello?" She responded tiredly as Luna hopped off of her and pranced away to find something interesting to do.
"Hey, it's me..." His voice trailed off and Serena felt her stomach clench at the familiar voice of her former first love. Anger and resentment filled her immediately.
"What's up? It's not like you to call me." She tried to sound nonchalant, but the animosity lingered in her voice like a raw tattoo.
"Yeah well... I have to tell you something and it's going to hurt you... Sere, I love you, but what I'm going to tell you is going to hurt." Diamond sounded so weak that her urge to punch him the face had returned ten fold.
"Alright, so tell me already." She took a deep breath and logged into facebook as he grew some balls to tell her. They had broken up more than a year ago and she had no patience for this. He had been too immature to handle a relationship and she had broken up with him after ten months. It hadn't been an easy thing to swallow for her, but she had made her choice and was fine with it.
"Okay... Well, Molly and I have been dating for the past four months..." He rushed the words out and then let the dead silence be his comfort.
Serena sat there shocked; one of her closest friends and her ex had been dating for the past four months behind her back? Hurt ran rampant through her as she tried to hold back her anger and tears while she stayed on the phone. She had thought it weird that she had called a few months back and heard them hanging out. But she had figured since his brother Sapphire attended the same school it was plausible. Her cerulean eyes darkened with fury and anguish as she chose her words to speak into her phone.
"I NEVER want to speak to you again. Don't call, text, NOTHING. If you hurt her, I'll kill you... Goodbye Diamond and congratulations." She hissed into the phone, venom dripping in every syllable as she ended the call. Before she could comprehend the words, heavy sobs escaped her and she curled into a ball crying.
Her golden locks fanned around her and clung to her face some as she cried. The typical SM look she had adopted most of the time had come undone from pulling at her hair angrily. How could Molly betray her and date the first guy who had broken her heart? She was so confused, her chest hurt and she wanted to break something, but thought against it. She was glad that Raye wasn't home; her best friend and roommate would want to cleanse her soul of the hurt and then kick some ass.
Sitting up slowly, she realized that two hours had passed, her eyes were puffy, face red and she looked like a mess. Her mascara had run and she had wiped her lavender and pink eye shadow across her face. Sniffling she looked at her facebook and decided to update her status. It was never like her to not say how she was feeling; she tended to be an emotional person.
Serena Tsukino: is finding out that people you love and trust cannot always be trusted. Why have a heart if it's made to be broken?
Hitting the enter key, she read it again and saw it as a bit over dramatic, but it suited her feelings. Dragging herself off the bed, she walked to her vanity and took a few tissues and make up remover to clean herself up. She looked like a train wreck. Her urges to cry were still intense and she had to fortify any strength she had to not cry. The familiar POP noise of facebook chat was heard and she moved back to her bed. In the bottom toolbar the name Darien Chiba came up. He was a friend of Malachite's; they had spoken a few times but nothing substantial. A few tears escaped, she wiped them away hastily and clicked the tab in curiosity.
Darien: Hey, are you okay?
Serena: Okay... Would be farfetched.
Darien: I know we haven't spoken much, but if it's any consolation... I'm here to listen if you need it.
Serena: I just found out that my ex has been dating my close friend behind my back for the past couple months.
Darien: What?!?! That's fucked up. I'm sorry.
Serena: Yeah, me too.
Darien: What are you going to do?
Serena: I think I'm going to go watch Interview with the Vampire; it's my comfort movie... I have a thing for vampires.
Darien: Well, not a lot of people know this, but me too. That's one of my favorite movies.
Serena: Interesting, I didn't peg you for a vampire fan. Do you like biting then? =p
Darien: Maybe... =p Are you feeling any better?
Serena: Yeah, thanks. I'm going to go watch the movie. Ttyl.
Darien: Good, enjoy it. I'll ttyl.
Serena closed out the window and sighed; she wiped her face of the lingering tears and smiled softly. Darien had managed to distract her for a bit and she was grateful. She looked him up on facebook and smirked. He was really, really, REALLY attractive. Tall, dark and gorgeous, she bit her lower lip and pushed the thoughts away for a moment. The image of Diamond and Molly in an embrace made her sick. Pushing herself off her bed she headed down the hall of her apartment to the living room. She would let Lestat and Louis soothe her ache, and try not to think of the gorgeous man who had made her heart feel a bit at ease.
So, I've decided to start a new story. I know, know, know, KNOW it's been a long time. But I decided to start a new story since I've felt the urge to write so desperately. I'm also going to be updating my Dramoine HP fic ASAP. So expect this story to be raging as well. As always, READ and REVIEW.
