"Why did you say you wanted me to take my top off again?"
Everyone in the arcade's jaw dropped at the shout from the petite blonde who was glaring at her boyfriend.
Darien winced as he realised his words had come out a bit too….blunt.
"That's not what I meant!" He quickly amended, throwing his hands up, palm outwards, a faint blush rising to his cheeks.
Behind him Andrew was too stunned to say anything, gaping at his usually polite friend.
Never did he think that his friend was such a –
"You Pervert!" She shouted, shocked.
Horrified.
Darien watched, speechless at his own gaffe, as he felt her distance herself from him.
He reached for her, but she slapped his hand away.
"No! Don't touch me! Just because of that one time, you think I am such a- a- Well I'm not! I'm not her Darien! Just like you're not him! We're different people! I am not-" here she stomped her foot down, emphasing what she was going to say next "- A loose woman! I was raised properly, unlike her! Damn it! I never would've put the lives of millions at risk like she did! And I hope to God that you wouldn't either!"
She turned, and Darien, seeing that she was going to leave, stood up with her movement.
"Sere! Wait, that isn't what I meant!" He pleaded with her.
She turned, her blue eyes flashing. "So you didn't just say that you want me to come home with you and take off my shirt?"
Darien winced, again at his blunt wording. "Well, I did-But-" He tried to explain, but stopped. He was thinking about the night before, and maybe he was overreacting, but it had been a more horrific fight than usual, and he had been thinking about it all day – He just wanted to know - to see for himself that she was fine, and that she had completely healed.
"Damn you Darien! You're just like him!"
Darien froze, his subconscious recognizing the tone that was normally associated with a certain person.
"Like who?" He asked, as he struggled to remember the name.
"Diamond!" She snapped, before flying out the door towards the car where Amara and Michelle were waiting for her. Dimly Darien remembered that she had been planning to spend the night at their place, as bonding time with two of her outer senshi.
Darien flinched at the comparison, before running after her. Amara looked between the enraged prince and her princess before looking at Michelle for permission to beat him up. Michelle glanced worryingly at the couple before motioning for Amara to drive.
"I'll call you later to sort it out!" The normally calm woman shouted to Darien as Amara accelerated away from the kerb and down the road.
Darien nodded, knowing that the water senshi would work out what was going on in his princess' mind far more quickly than he could. His girlfriend saw the older girl as an older sister after all.
But why would she have compared him to Diamond so harshly?
