Thanks everyone for the reviews! You guys are awesome!

This one's a bit short but I hope you'll like it!


"Hey, Serena," said Andrew, as she walked into the arcade. "Do you want your usual?"

"Yes, please!" She smiled and nodded at the bartender.

"Had a good day?" he asked.

"Yeah," she said, subtly looking around the arcade for Darien. She was thankful to have spotted his usual green jacket on the stool, so she knew he was here. "It was pretty good," she said, turning back to Andrew. It would be better, she thought, if I could find Darien...

He moved to fill a cup with her usual milkshake. "Oh!" he said, looking over his shoulder at her. "Be careful with Darien."

"Hmm?" She blinked in surprise.

Andrew had never warned her about Darien before. Even through all the screaming and fighting, the blonde bartender had never stepped in to discourage their interaction with each other.

"Yeah," he said, moving back. He placed her milkshake in front of her. "He's hot today."

Serena blushed at the remark. "I know," she said, shrugging.

"You do?" Andrew looked at her surprised. He didn't think she had seen Darien yet today; he was still in the bathroom since she'd walked in.

"It's pretty obvious, Andrew." She bit her lip as her cheeks pinked. "Besides, he's hot everyday. He's got that tall, handsome thing going for him—"

"N-n-n..." Andrew coughed, trying to regain his voice. "Not exactly what I meant—"

"Oh, you probably don't see it since you're a guy," said Serena, smiling. "But trust me, he's definitely hot. He's got a great laugh. Not to mention those deep blue eyes—"

"It's not that, Serena," said Andrew, gripping the counter tightly. "I just meant that—"

"I know, I know," she said, waving away his worries. "Darien can be a big jerk, and you want to make sure I'm not hurt. But I'm allowed to admit he's pretty hot—"

"—Excuse me?" interrupted a familiar voice.

Serena squeaked.

She turned to see Darien standing next to her. His face looked shock. His eyes, on the other hand, looked dark like he was really stressed.

"I'm pretty wha—ah-ahhh-ahhhchooo!"

"Bless you," said Andrew, crossing his arms.

Darien reached over for tissues and groaned.

Serena groaned as well, covering her face in her hands.

"Like I was saying," Andrew rolled his eyes, "Darien's hot—as in warm—as in sick; anyone that doesn't want to get sick should probably stay away from him today."


Oh, the joys of miscommunication! XD
