Romance
Summary: Serena and Darien meet. Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask meet. Both pairs experience instant attraction, and flirt and bond over shared feelings. What happens when they find out the two people they've been flirting with are one in the same?
Serena walked out of the jewelry store her best friend's mother owned and sighed at the fact that she couldn't buy any of the nice pieces of jewelry on sale. If only she had some money.
If only my dad would give me my allowance early. She thought with another sigh before she pulled out her most recent failed test. If only I had done better on this test. Now I probably won't even get my next allowance. She thought before she balled up the paper in frustration and tossed it over her head.
"Hey! Watch it Meatball Head!" She heard a masculine voice exclaim.
She spun around, surprised that someone was behind her but still had a smart remark at the tip of her tongue, only to gasp slightly at the sight of the person behind her.
A tall guy wearing a full black tuxedo stood right behind her close enough that she could reach out and touch him with her finger tips. He had short slightly messy inky black hair with black sunglasses covering his eyes. Despite his rude remark he was absolutely delicious in her eyes.
Darien lowered the test on English after he finished scanning it and was confronted with wide bright blue eyes in the face a petite girl. He blinked and let his rake over her short form and took in her blue and white sailor school uniform and her unique hair style. Golden hair parted down the middle and pulled up into two buns that left the extremely long remaining tresses trailing in two long streams.
His fingers already itched to run through them and see what they felt like and see how much longer her hair was when it was loose from her unique style.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to take my frustration out on you." He heard her say and blinked at the soft voice that came out of her.
"It's okay. It didn't hurt." He said as he flashed her a smile and handed her back her paper.
"I'm Serena." She said as she accepted the paper and took a step toward him, stuffing her test into her skirt pocket.
"Hmm..so your test said." He said with a smirk and a raised eyebrow at her move toward him. The bold little thing. He thought as he watched her bangs move in the slight breeze. "I'm Darien." He added as he removed his sunglasses.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Serena said with a smile as she took in his deep blue eyes.
"The pleasures all mine." Darien said as he grabbed her hand and kissed the back of her hand.
"Oh." She breathed as her heart fluttered. "Well aren't you a charmer." She said as she took in the warm feel of his large hand.
"You'll have to get to know me to know for sure." He replied cockily.
"I'll take that challenge." She said boldly as she lifted her chin.
"Good luck." He replied huskily with a smirk.
oOoMoOo
Darien walked in the late evening on his way home when he was stopped in his tracks by a massive headache. He groaned loudly and felt like he was blacking out, but the next thing he knew he was racing along the sidewalk and somehow leaping onto rooftops.
As he amazingly jumped from one rooftop to the next he saw that he was still wearing the tuxedo he had been wearing earlier that day, but he could feel that there were added accessories. A long cape flutter behind him, a mask framed his eyes, and a hat sat on his head.
He was so confused but he continued to run as he became aware that he was being lead somewhere by an internal sense. Where it was coming from he had no clue, and was just as unaware as to why it was happening.
Keep going. He told himself instinctively as he followed the internal sense like directions from a built in gps. You will understand why when you arrive. He added, and was instantly confused at how he knew that.
Still, he continued to jump from rooftop to rooftop with only the night sky as his company until he reached a last rooftop and his senses told him he had arrived. He looked around and saw nothing out of the ordinary, so he began to look for a window or skylight since he was sure the building he had landed on was his destination.
Darien finally spotted a tall window and he went to it and looked inside only to see people lying unconscious on the floor and two people upright. Both looked like females; one was a woman wearing a black dress and was floating in the air, and the other was a young woman in a sailor outfit facing off against the strange woman.
A monster. He thought, somehow knowing that's what the floating woman was, before he began to open the window, knowing he needed to get in there.
Sailor Moon huffed as she dodged the strange woman's stretchy clawed arms without stepping or tripping on the unconscious people lying around her. She was doing her best to try and fight but she knew she wasn't doing well, and couldn't help recalling how she ended up in this mess.
oOo
Serena had been in her room minding her own business when the black cat calling herself Luna had arrived, and told her that she had been looking for her and that she had been chosen to be a guardian; a sailor scout.
She watched the cat jump up and flip in the air, and produce a round brooch. The golden brooch landed on her bed and she picked it up to see that it had a star in the middle, a crescent moon taking up the entire bottom half, with four small circles on the sides, top, and bottom of the brooch. The top was red, the bottom blue, the left green, and the right was orange.
Luna told her to say 'Moon Prism Power' and she would become Sailor Moon.
She had been disbelieving, but said the words anyway just to see if anything would happen. Imagine her surprise when the brooch started glowing, and she started floating, before her body and limbs were being wrapped in glowing dark pink ribbons that transformed into clothes.
When it was over she stood in a skimpy sailor outfit with long gloves, knee high boots, and a choker with a replica pendant of the brooch she had been given hanging from it. She discovered moments later that said brooch was secured to the center of the red bow on her chest.
In addition to that she was wearing earrings, two types of hair clips, a tiara with a red gem at the center, and there were crescent moon's visible on various parts of her outfit.
oOo
That had, unbelievably, only been minutes ago, and now here she was trying to fight like she was Sailor V, and had no idea what she was doing.
Darien watched from a balcony after entering the building through the window. He saw how hard the warrior was trying to fight, but could tell that while she wanted to fight she didn't have the necessary skills.
He caught his breath as he saw her stumble on one of the people lying on the floor, and listened to the monster laugh before stretching its clawed arm toward her. Before he knew what he was doing he had a perfect red rose in his hand and was throwing it down at the hand.
Thankfully it hit and the monster screamed as its hand stopped short.
"Use your tiara!" He heard a feminine voice shout as the warrior got to her feet.
Why didn't they say that before when she was struggling? He wondered as he watched the warrior pull the tiara off her forehead and turn it into a glowing weapon.
"Moon Tiara Action!" Sailor Moon said as she threw the glowing disk at the woman. It hit the woman in the chest and she screamed loudly before she turned to dust and began to crumble to the floor.
She caught her tiara as it returned to her and put it back on as she looked up, trying to find the source of the rose that had helped her.
"Oh." She breathed quietly as she saw a tall man in a tuxedo with a cape trailing dramatically from his shoulders, a white mask framing his eyes, and a black top hat resting on his head. He reminded her of the guy she had met earlier that day with the way he was dressed except he looked much more mysterious.
"Thanks for the help handsome stranger." She called up to him.
"You're welcome beautiful warrior." He responded with a smile. "You can call me Tuxedo Mask." He added, surprising himself with the name.
"And you can call me Sailor Moon." She said to the mysterious handsome masked man.
oOoMoOo
After their first meeting Serena and Darien flirted every time they saw each other, and began to get to know each other while they were at it. However, at the same time, unknown to each other, their secret alter egos began to silently and subtly flirt with each other.
Both pairs were attracted to each other, but the secret heroes were moving along faster because while Serena and Darien were trying to get to know each other Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask couldn't. All they could do was flirt and express their attraction unless they were willing to reveal their real identity to each other. Neither of them were but they were willing to continue on their path and see where it led.
It led to weeks of subtle flirting. Still subtle because at first Sailor Moon didn't want her feline guardian/advisor to know, then as each new scout was found they all began to see the masked man as an enemy. Their thoughts and assumptions, their efforts to try and keep her from any contact with him, however, didn't stop her. She didn't see him as an enemy. All her visual cues and instincts were telling her was that he was an ally.
An ally whom she began to happily make out with after all the flirting they had engaged in.
It was exciting and thrilling to the both of them, and only helped to escalate their undefined relationship forward. Even as, unknowingly, their civilian identities moved forward in their own way.
oOo
Sailor Moon caught her tiara as it returned to her after she dusted the monster woman then turned her attention to the blonde haired guy that had been acting as the presenter to the radio show that had led her here. She knew her tiara wouldn't work on him, but she didn't have anything else to use.
An issue I have to figure out how to fix, and soon! She thought as she charged her tiara once again.
"Moon Tiara Action!" She said as she threw the tiara at him.
She watched as it sped toward him, and he lifted his hand, his arm stretched out, in response. Her tiara stopped midair and spun in place before it slowed to a stop, de-charged, and fell to the ground.
Sailor Moon glared at him and he laughed. He smirked at her and began to run toward her and she tensed in preparation to move, but was suddenly scooped up by strong arms. She gasped in surprise and looked up to find herself being carried by the handsome stranger; Tuxedo Mask.
"Hey stranger." She breathed out as she took in his blues eyes beyond the mask. "I haven't seen you since the jewelry store."
"I'm sorry about that." Tuxedo Mask said as he glanced down to her. "You're hard to catch up to, but now that I have my hands on you you're going to have to convince me to let go." He added, and she blushed.
"What if I don't want you to let go?" Sailor Moon asked, and he smirked.
"That can be arranged for a beautiful warrior like you." He replied as he looked at her.
He then glanced back to the man that was clearly one of their enemies before he stopped, and put her down then launched a hand full of roses at him.
The blonde haired man dodged them, jumping back and skipping around, before he glared and seemed to teleport away.
"I thought I was going to have to convince you to let me go." Sailor Moon said as she looked away from the area where the man disappeared to the masked man at her side.
"I apologize." Tuxedo Mask said, and immediately wrapped his arms around her. "How is this?" He asked in a low tone.
She looked down and she lightly rested her hands on his waist, seeing them pressed chest to chest, or at least front to front since she was now seeing just how tall he was.
"Perfect." She nearly purred as she wrapped her arms around his back, her gloves sliding along his tuxedo jacket.
oOo
Darien walked pass the sliding doors to the arcade still wearing his school uniform, only having removed his red tie, ready to visit with his friend while he worked. He saw Andrew walking out from behind the front counter, but then he looked around and nearly paused as he spotted the bold girl he had been flirting with in recent days.
He changed his direction and headed for her where she sat at one of the arcade games. A girl wearing the same uniform stood off to the side behind her watching, but he ignored her and focused on the girl. The twin streams of her long hair were curled up on the floor, and he decided he was going to get his hands on them and satisfy his desire to see what they felt like.
He stopped behind her and the girl with short blue hair that was watching her play looked to him, but he focused on Serena as he gasped a stream of her hair and pulled slightly. He watched her tense and tip her head back, the buns coming to rest against his stomach, as she looked up.
"Darien." She said softly in greeting and he found himself pleased at the way she made his name sound. More like a caress than a greeting.
"Serena." He returned before he nodded to her game. "You're going to lose if you don't focus back on that." He said.
"I was losing anyway." Serena said before she looked back to the game and began to move the control stick with one hand and press the buttons with the other.
"Sure you were." Darien said as he watched the game. "You must have sensed my charm coming your way, and knew you needed to stop so you could gather yourself." He added, and listened to her laugh even as she lost her game.
"Well aren't you sure of yourself." She said as she stood up to face him, her eyes taking in what was obviously his school uniform.
"You're the one who said I was a charmer." He replied, idly noticing that his friend Andrew was at his side watching them.
"Are you going to prove me right?" Serena countered as she raised an eyebrow and tilted her head slightly to the side curiously.
Darien tilted his own head before he put his school bag on the seat she had been sitting on then he swept her off her feet and into his arms. She gasped in surprise, and he smiled charmingly down at her, loving her wide eyed reaction, before he turned and began to walk to the front counter.
"How about I treat a beautiful lady like you to a sweet snack?" He said softly. "Something just as sweet as you." He added, and she laughed softly even as she blushed.
"You're sure I'm sweet?" Serena asked softly as she lay in his arms. Strong. She added to her list of his appealing qualities.
"I'm sure you're beautiful, sweet, and bold." Darien replied firmly, and watched her blush get darker.
"Alright you charmer." She said. "Now, how about a milkshake? Maybe I'll share it with you if you can keep up the charm."
oOo
Sailor Moon stepped down off the bus with Luna in her arms as Tuxedo Mask opened the doors and immediately moved toward Amy and hugged her in relief at being back. Then she pulled back and glanced back to the black haired red scout that had followed her and waved her forward.
"Meet Sailor Mars." She said to Amy before she looked to the girl. "You remember Amy; she's Sailor Mercury." She added quietly as she watched Luna leap over to Amy's shoulder.
As the girls greeted each other Sailor Moon blinked and looked around as people began to walk around them. She turned around and saw that everyone was awake and getting off the buses.
She looked around for Tuxedo Mask and spotted him subtly moving around the edge of the disoriented group of people before he began to jog away. She looked back to Amy, Luna, and Sailor Mars before she subtly began to inch away from them and through the people milling around.
Once she was clear she ran in the direction he had gone, turning a corner and almost sprinting down the sidewalk, only to be grabbed suddenly by her arm and pulled back and off to the side. She gasped as she was spun around until her back was pressed against a solid wall, of what she glimpsed was an alley, before she felt warm lips pressed against hers.
She blinked as she saw the dark hair and white mask, and closed her eyes as she realized it was Tuxedo Mask kissing her.
"Are you okay? You weren't hurt in that dimension?" Tuxedo Mask asked as he pulled his lips from hers, and rested a hand against the wall at her side.
"I'm fine. I wasn't hurt at all." She assured him before she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
Tuxedo Mask groaned and wrapped an arm around the small of her back and pulled her hips against him as they kissed. His beautiful warrior was addictive. He had no idea who she was, but there was no denying he was attracted to her. So much so that he had been unable to resist kissing her for the first time a couple of weeks ago when the opportunity presented itself.
Sailor Moon moaned softly as she ran her fingers through Tuxedo Mask's hair. She wished she wasn't wearing gloves so she could feel the texture but she would take what she could get. She was just glad to be kissing this handsome guy.
He had given her her first kiss only a couple of weeks ago. She had been surprised but had happily taken it and did her best to return it. She didn't know if he was experienced in kissing but he had been patient with her attempts, and they had only gotten better since then.
Making out with him was turning out to be addictive, but even so she hadn't forgotten Darien. Both guys were attractive to her and drew her in like a moth to flame, but she guessed the mysteriousness of Tuxedo Mask made it easier to be physical with him. They didn't know each other so it was just the attraction, and the outfits, that drew them together.
oOo
Serena walked into the arcade after school with Amy and Raye at her sides, and immediately saw Darien at the front counter talking to Andrew. Her eyes instantly softened as she took in his tall figure and dark hair. She wanted to run her fingers through it and make it messy like she did when she was making out with Tuxedo Mask.
"Oh who is that dark haired cutie?" Raye said, and Serena narrowed her eyes at her. "I need to know him." She added with a sigh.
Serena blinked and looked away before she began to walk toward him. She didn't care that Raye found him attractive. She was already in a flirting relationship with him, and she wasn't going to change that any time soon.
"Hey there charmer." She called, and watched him turn with a smile already on his face.
"Are you sure yet?" Darien asked, referring to their first meeting.
"I think I am." She said confidently as she stopped in front of him.
"So you know me well enough now do you." He said as he reached forward and grabbed one of the streams of her hair and pulled it over her shoulder.
"I believe so." Serena said quietly as she watched his fingers push through the stream of hair he held.
Between the flirting since their first meeting they had gotten to know each other and felt comfortable talking to each other, and they had even learned they shared similarities with each other.
Darien felt that everyone he knew thought he was arrogant and conceited when he was really controlled and confident. The only one in his life who came close to really understanding him was Andrew, which is why he was his best friend. Then came this bold little thing with long irresistible hair, and she understood.
Serena felt that everyone thought she was a lazy, selfless, and trusting girl when she was really a cautious, bold, go getter. They didn't try to really get to know her and see her other qualities. Even her oldest friend Molly didn't see beyond the surface. The first one to do so was Darien.
They both felt misunderstood and like no one understood them, but felt most comfortable and understood with each other after the long weeks of talking and flirting with each other.
"You just might be right." Darien said, ignoring everyone around them.
"And do you know me well enough now?" She asked as she looked up from his hands to his face.
"Yes." He said confidently. "Put me and some food in front of you, and you can't resist." He added with an amused smirk.
"Jerk!" She said as she pushed at his chest slightly and turned her face away.
"My kind of girl." He whispered in her ear before he kissed her blushing cheek.
oOo
Tuxedo Mask groaned into Sailor Moon's mouth as he felt her shift forward on his lap until her chest was pressed against his. He was sitting on his cape, which he had spread out on top of the grass in the secluded area of the park they had chosen to settle down in, and his beautiful warrior was straddling him as they made out.
He had sensed her transformation just as he was about to grab himself a snack before going to sleep, and had immediately abandoned the idea to go to her. Imagine his surprise when he found her calmly standing in a park leaning against a tree; no monster or fight in sight.
He'd raised an eyebrow and listened as she said she wanted to see him and hoped transforming would make him appear somehow since he always showed up sooner or later after she did.
With that established he had asked her why she wanted to see him, and she simply sighed and stepped toward him and wrapped her arms around him in a hug. From there she didn't have to say anything; he understood completely and wrapped his arms around her as he returned her hug.
After that he had guided her to an area well away from any path, spread out his cape, and sat down with her. It wasn't long after that that they were lip-locked and had their arms around each other, which is how they found themselves in the position they were in now.
Her gloved fingers were plowing through his hair, his top hat having long since been discarded, and his hands were stroking up and down her back; occasionally pausing to toy with her back bow.
Sailor Moon moaned as her handsome mysterious partner moved his lips to kiss along her neck before he began to gently suckle just above her choker. She shifted her hips, feeling achy, but not knowing how to make it better.
It was one reason why she had transformed at this time of night. Her body had been feeling achy, like it had begun to feel when they made out for long stretches, and she had hoped making out with him would help.
She didn't know if her transforming would eventually lead to his appearance, but she had picked that park and waited in the hopes that he would eventually show up. Thankfully he had, and didn't seem to have a problem with there being no danger to deal with. Now she was getting what she wanted, and a little more, but it wasn't enough.
Suddenly his hands gripped her hips and pulled hers forward and she gasped loudly as she rubbed up against something hard. The pleasure that shot through her was sharp and intense, but more importantly it had briefly relieved the ache she had been feeling.
She moved her hips forward in the same motion, and cried out softly as the same pleasure streaked through her at the feel; the ache briefly disappearing. Understanding dawned on her a moment later. This is what her body had been aching for.
Panting breaths rushed passed her lips as she slowly rocked her hips back and forth, rubbing herself against his hardness, and listened as he groaned deeply against her neck; his hands stroking up and down her thighs.
Tuxedo Mask wrapped an arm around Sailor Moon and rolled them until she was on her back. His ears twitched at her surprised gasp and again at the soft moan she released as he thrust his hips against hers. He smiled slightly before pressed his lips to hers and slipped his tongue into her mouth.
As he moved his hand up her thigh, hip, and side there was no missing the fact that he was hot. He wanted out of these clothes. His tuxedo being all black for the most part was not the best to be wearing for his current activity.
What I want more is more of her. He thought as he moved his mouth to her neck. He could feel her legs moving against as she shifted beneath him with the sound of her panting in his ear. He definitely wanted more of her, but...Serena. He thought quietly.
He really liked that girl. She was fun and easy to talk to, and she understood him. He was attracted to her just as much as he was to Sailor Moon, but he knew who Serena was whereas he didn't know who his beautiful warrior was.
I need to know. He thought as he stopped moving and lifted up slightly to look down at her.
"Oh no. Don't stop." Sailor Moon said as she lifted her hips against his.
Tuxedo Mask groaned and thrust his hips against hers a few times before he caught himself and stopped.
"I need to know who you are." He said as he tried to slow his breathing. "I can't continue on like this without knowing." He added.
Sailor Moon closed her eyes and tried to think pass the lingering pleasure and focus on what he was saying. Tuxedo Mask wanted to know who she was. Was she willing to tell him? Show him? Would he reveal his true identity to her?
"If you show me I'll show you." She said as she looked up at him, her hands idly stroking along his shoulders.
"Alright." He said as he nodded. He trusted her to do what she said, so he had no problem going first.
Sailor Moon blinked and squinted her eyes as Tuxedo Mask was suddenly surrounded in a bright red light. When it cleared she blinked her eyes open wider and gasped.
"Darien." She breathed out in surprise.
He raised an eyebrow in clear expectation and she closed her eyes and focused on releasing her transformation. Bright pink light surrounded her as her transformation unraveled and when it cleared she opened her eyes to see him looking at her wide eyed.
"Unexpected, and yet not." Darien said as he took in her sky blue and white pajamas. "I was starting to see Sailor Moon as a bold little thing as well." He added.
Serena huffed and turned her head away as she rolled her eyes.
"I knew you were my kind of girl." He said quietly in her ear before he turned her face back toward him and kissed her; determined to continue where they left off now that he had his answer.
oOo
Serena sighed lightly as she walked down a quiet sidewalk on her way home after school. She hadn't been in the mood to hang out with the girls or Luna for that matter. Her mind was on the surprising revelation she had learned not too long ago. The fact that the two guys she had been very attracted and drawn to, Tuxedo Mask and Darien, were the same person.
She had been flirting with the two guys for months now, even happily making out with one of them for half that time, and she readily admitted that she had liked both of them. Had even begun to wonder what she was going to do about it; how she was going to choose between them.
Now she knew she didn't have to. They were the same guy. A single guy who she liked, and was attracted and drawn to.
But now what? She thought just as she looked up, and saw Darien walking toward her after turning the corner at the end of the block. Here's the time to find out. She told herself as they walked closer and closer to each other.
"If we're going to keep meeting like this we're going to have to do something about it." She said as they came to a stop in front of each other.
"What do you have in mind?" Darien asked, understanding that she meant their unexpected meetings.
"To stop meeting by chance, and start meeting on purpose." Serena suggested. "In fact, I think it's pass time we did so."
"You're a demanding little thing aren't you?" He said fondly as he stepped closer to her.
"I'm not demanding. I just know what I want, and what I want is you." She said confidently as she looked up to him.
Darien took a last step, grasped her face, and kissed her; unable to resist a moment longer.
"Then I'm all yours." He said as he pulled his lips from hers. "As long as you belong to me." He added fiercely.
"I wouldn't have it any other way." She said, and pushed up on her tiptoes and kissed him.
oOoMoOo
Only a couple of weeks had passed, barely half a month, since Darien and Serena had decided to become a couple. In that time they had spent as much time together as possible both as Darien and Serena and as Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon, but they hadn't advertised their new status. They simply continued to flirt, but were a bit more hands on in public.
Now they were in his apartment making out on the couch. They were both still in their school uniform, and Serena was straddling his lap with her hands in his hair and their lips locked. His shirt was unbuttoned and pushed open, and he had gotten her out of her sailor top so she only had her bra to cover her from his eyes.
As they kissed he moved his hands up and down her sides. He couldn't help thinking that they were moving fast in the physical parts of their relationship. He supposed it was their secret personas that got them moving so quickly in that direction, but it seemed to have picked up dramatically since they made their relationship official.
He was sure she had noticed it as well, but neither of them had said anything about it. They simply continued on like it didn't matter.
I suppose it doesn't matter to me since I'm not trying to put a stop to it. He thought as he broke their kiss and moved his lips down to her neck.
Serena for her part was thoroughly enjoying herself. She hadn't planned on doing this, but she had planned on spending time with Darien and here she was doing just that. They were making out, as was usual for them, and her shirt had been discarded, but her body wanted more and she could hardly explain it.
One thing she knew was that the feeling had been building for weeks. It started around the time they had revealed their true identity to each other, and had been acted on the very night of that revelation. It had felt good, and she had enjoyed herself; had enjoyed what they had done since then, but she felt like it was no longer enough.
Darien pulled his lips from her neck and pressed a kiss to her lips before he moved to the other side of her neck, and she decided she wasn't holding back anymore. She had resisted the urge since she first straddled his lap, but she would resist no longer.
She scooted further up his lap, sliding along his gray pants, and began to rock her hips against his, rubbing herself back and forth against the hardness that was already there. A moan escaped her throat at the pleasurable feeling, which multiplied as she felt one of his hands slip under her blue skirt and squeeze her bottom.
Darien groaned in pleasure and frustration against her neck. He loved the feel of her moving against him, but they had been doing this for weeks and it was becoming less and less satisfying. He wanted more.
And why not have more? We're here alone, in complete privacy, and my bedroom is just down the hall. He thought as he sucked at the soft skin of her neck.
He pulled away from her neck, but before he could speak she was pressing her lips to his. In the next moment her tongue was slipping into his mouth, and her hips were moving a little faster against him. He groaned and thrust his hips up into hers as she continued to rock against him.
"Serena, I want more." He finally said as he broke the kiss.
"Oh." Serena said as she blinked. Looking into his eyes as she caught her breath she understood instantly what he was talking about.
She looked around as she considered his words. She had just been thinking what they were doing wasn't enough for her anymore. She just hadn't expected the chance to get more to be quite so instant after such a thought.
What we're doing isn't enough for me, but do I really want to do more? She asked herself.
Her eyes shifted down to see her state of dress, and saw that she was dressed to head in that direction. The way her body was feeling was also an indication of wanting to move in that direction. Even her mind wanted to go there judging by all the thoughts she had recently been having.
Yes. I want more. She thought as she looked back to her boyfriend.
Part of Serena was surprised she was willing to go there considering her young age but the other part of her wasn't. It was like something inside her was encouraging her to go in that direction. It was like an urge; a need.
Beyond that she just felt different with Darien. Not like a fourteen year old but like a woman with needs. And she was learning that since the night they revealed their identity to each other that she did have needs.
"Okay." Serena said as she nodded and planted a soft lingering kiss on his lips.
"Come on. Let's take this to a more comfortable location." Darien said with a smile before he firmed his grip on her and got to his feet.
Serena immediately wrapped her arms and legs around him, so her limbs wouldn't be in the way as he walked. She didn't worry about him being able to carry her. This was the guy that could catch her after being thrown through the air, and then dart around with her in his arms like she weighed nothing.
She kissed his neck softly as he walked them out of his living room, through his short hallway, and into his room. He climbed onto the bed and eased them down until her back was on the bed and her head resting against the pillow.
"Are you sure?" Darien asked as he lifted his head and looked at her.
"Yes." Serena said as she relaxed her legs until they lay on the bed. "Now kiss me like you mean it!" She said.
"Demanding little thing." He said before he pressed his lips to hers in firm passionate kiss full of the desire he felt.
It wasn't long before they were removing their clothes and slipping under the covers. Serena's arms were wrapped loosely around his neck, her fingers plowing through and gripping his hair, as their lips parted and came together again and again.
Darien meanwhile was moving his hands all over her body wanting to touch every bit of her soft skin that he could. Up and down her sides, over her hips, along her toned thighs, and up to her chest. He squeezed and caressed her soft yet firm beasts as he rubbed himself against her, the action so much more satisfying then rubbing through their clothes.
Soon he was slipping inside her heated snug body, and they were moving together with rhythmic slow movements. Gliding strokes, gentle caresses, quiet sighs, and light kisses eventually gave way to passionate lip locks, heavy breathing, grasping hands, and gripping fingers as their hips moved together.
Serena moaned and Darien groaned as their passion grew steadily, soaring higher and higher, their hips thrusting against each other as they worked to increase their pleasure as high as it would go.
As their eyes were closed, his face pressed against her neck, they were unaware as they each began to glow. Darien's body took on a golden glow while Serena's skin glowed white. Focused as they were on their pleasure they were surprised when, unbeknownst to the other, their minds began to fill with what were quite clearly memories.
A little girl and a little boy, one growing up on the Earth and one on the Moon, a princess and a prince. Each one next in line to rule their kingdom. Four guardian scouts for the princess, and four guardian generals for the prince. Both being raised in a comfortable, loving, and caring environment by a loving mother and loving parents.
A princess' love of the Earth which grew and morphed into a fascination with the planets prince. A lonely prince who was extremely dutiful yet longed for someone to understand him. An unexpected garden meeting, clandestine meetings, and a secret love affair united the two royals.
The memories continued as the young lovers moved against each other, their heightening passion seemingly fueling the rush of memories flowing through their minds. The white and gold lights around them growing brighter and brighter as their pleasure soared higher and higher.
They clung to each other, half lost in memories and half lost in their pleasure, moving furiously before suddenly the world seemingly exploded. Serena cried out as pleasure burst through her body, and the white light followed, flooding out of her and filling the room.
A few moments later Darien cried out in pleasure, golden light flowing out of him, and joining the white light around the room as he continued to thrust his hips against hers to keep their pleasure flowing.
As their pleasure slowly began to fade, along with the lights, they continued to lay there, still clinging to each other and panting to try and regain their breath.
Serena felt unbelievable. She had never experienced such pleasure in her life and already she wanted to experience it again. This experience had taught her so much in such a short time. She learned that she loved the feel of his heavy weight on top of her, the heat of his body, the feel of his strong arms, and the sound of him voicing his pleasure.
Beyond that their love making had obviously had a very big side effect. It had helped to reveal who she truly was. She was Serenity, princess of the Moon Kingdom, and wielder of the silver crystal.
And the Sailor Scouts are my guardians. Sailor V is one of my guardians, Sailor Venus, and Tuxedo Mask, my Darien, is my prince. She thought as she finally opened her eyes.
"My Endymion." Serena breathed, still trying to catch her breath.
"Serenity." Darien breathed in her ear, and felt her entire body shiver. He groaned and thrust his hips, loving the feeling of being inside her.
He couldn't believe their intimacy had led to their real identities, and that his Serenity, his love, was already with him. They had been in each other's lives now for months and hadn't known. But now they did know. She was Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom, and he was Prince Endymion of the Golden Kingdom, wielder of the golden crystal.
And now I finally know what it is like to experience my Serenity's body. He thought, completely pleased. He lifted his head and upper body slightly and looked down at her, his eyes taking in the crescent moon on her forehead that he had not seen in so long, before he looked into her eyes. They were bright and happy, and he couldn't help kissing her.
"I have missed you." He said as he pulled back, and she hummed.
"Show me how much my prince." She said before she began to pull him back down to her.
oOoMoOo
Luna sighed internally as she sat on the table in front of Amy, Raye, and Lita at Raye's temple home. The only one missing was Serena and that was on purpose. She had called the meeting to discuss the young woman she had named leader of the Sailor Scouts.
She had noticed over the last few weeks that Serena kept disappearing during the night. When she asked her about it Serena always said she was out training. However, she didn't believe it because she never mentioned that she was going out to do that. She was always simply gone without a word, and then coming back not looking at all worn out.
So she decided to call a meeting with the girls to alert them to the issue and see if they had any ideas on what was going on with her.
"So what's this about Luna?" Lita asked curiously.
"And where's Serena?" Amy asked.
"Probably running late." Raye said as she rolled her eyes.
"I called this meeting to talk about Serena." Luna said seriously, and they all trained their eyes on her. "She's been going out at night. Not so much the middle of the night, but right after the household has gone to sleep. She says she's training when I ask her about it, but I don't believe her since she doesn't look like she's been training." She informed them.
"Have you followed her?" Raye asked.
"I'm usually asleep and wake up to find her gone or wake up in time to see her returning." Luna answered. "During the few times I was awake to see her leave I tried to follow her, but she would turn a corner and seemed to disappear and I couldn't find her." She explained.
"I'm not sure what she's doing, but I seriously doubt it has anything to do with training." She added.
"You're sure she's not training?" Amy asked. "Do you know if she's transforming when she leaves?" She asked with a frown.
"The times I was awake to see her leave she transformed once she was away from the house." Luna answered. "When she returns she's not transformed."
"She could be training. She wouldn't show any physical signs unless she was sparing, and anything else would appear on her outfit which wouldn't be visible after she released her transformation." Amy said.
"You know she might be sneaking out to see a boy." Lita suggested thoughtfully. "She seems slightly boy crazy to me since she flirts with that Darien guy, and from what you all tell me she can't seem to stay away from Tuxedo Mask."
"That's a possibility." Luna admitted, especially since she had been ignoring her warnings to stay away from the masked man and the girl's attempts to keep her away from him during fights.
And she had seen firsthand the flirting between her and Darien; something that had been going on since she met Serena.
"Why don't we just follow her one night, and see what she does?" Raye suggested with a frown. She didn't like the thought that Serena could be meeting up with a guy since it would probably be Darien.
"That would end the speculation and we would know for sure what's going on with her." Lita said with a nod.
Although, part of her wondered why what Serena was doing was any of their business. Luna wasn't her mother, and they were just her friends and teammates; not her minders.
"Then that's what we'll do." Luna said. "Tomorrow night be near her house, and if she leaves we'll follow her."
oOoMoOo
Serena opened her balcony doors just after midnight and stepped out without a glance toward Luna and closed the doors. She looked around, seeing all was quiet and dark, before she leapt over the railing. She landed lightly on the ground and glanced around before she stood straight and walked away.
As she reached the end of the block she glanced behind her briefly before she turned and continued on. She thought Luna and her friends must think she was stupid or at least highly unaware to not notice they were following her. She figured it was likely because of Luna that they were following her at all though.
Doesn't matter. She thought as she ignored their presence and moved into a subtle side alley to transform. A few brief moments later of being surrounded by pink light, and she stood as Sailor Moon.
My prince and I are going to have to have a different type of meeting since we'll have an audience. She decided, feeling a little irritated that the night would not go the way she had been imagining all day.
She took off running and minutes later she was slowing to a walk in a large deserted park. She walked casually along a smooth path until she reached a large working water fountain, and stood before it listening to the trickling water as she waited.
Only a few minutes passed before Tuxedo Mask arrived walking toward her from around the side of the fountain. She wrapped her arms around his waist and sighed happily as he returned the gesture.
"Luna and the girls followed me." She whispered.
"What do you want to do?" He asked quietly.
"I guess it's time they learn what we mean to each other." She said with a sigh. "Besides, hopefully it will finally get Raye to leave you alone." She added.
"True." He agreed. Even though they had been flirting with each other since before Raye had met him she acted like it didn't matter and tried to flirt with him too; obviously hoping he would focus on her instead of Serena.
"I'll release my transformation and see how things go from there." She said before she did just that.
She was surrounded in pink light for the second time that night, and when it cleared she stood barefoot in a dark blue zip up onesie with tiny white stars decorating the fabric; and her long hair loose from the buns she always wore.
"You look comfortable." He said with a smile before he took off his gloves, and immediately put his fingers in her hair with a sigh.
oOo
The watching group gasped as they watched Serena release her transformation. They were outraged that she would do something so reckless and dangerous; to release her transformation in front of Tuxedo Mask like that.
Raye had grown more and more angry as she watched the pair. She was upset that Serena was meeting up with Tuxedo Mask, and had no doubt that she would be flirting with him. Him! A potential enemy!
And it bugged her to no end that Serena flirted with him and Darien, and that she didn't even have the decency to pick one of them.
It didn't help that she liked Darien. Despite that he didn't seem to want to entertain her feelings at all even though she tried to flirt with him. He was more interested in Serena; ignoring everyone else including her.
Despite Tuxedo Mask not being shocked at Serena's action the group decided they needed to stop this before she did anything else foolish.
The three scouts and black cat rushed out of their hiding spot behind a large bush and toward the pair standing by the water fountain.
"Have you lost your mind?!" Sailor Mars nearly shouted. "How can you be so foolish as to reveal your identity to him?"
"It's not as if this is the first time. He's known who I am for quite some time now." Serena said calmly as she turned to them, and listened as they made sounds of surprise and outrage.
"It's not like I don't know who he is." She added before they could say anything, and they instantly went quiet.
"Then who is he?" Sailor Jupiter asked, and she shrugged delicately.
"That's up to him to reveal since it's not my place." Serena said.
Darien had been listening to every word, but he hadn't taken his eyes or his hands from her hair. The silky soft tresses always held his attention even in the past. At that point he hadn't been able to touch it as often as he would have liked, and now that they were free he was going to do it every chance he got.
He glanced to the girls and cat and focused back on his girl's hair as he idly released his transformation in a bright red light, leaving him standing in only a pair of black sweat pants.
"Oh yum!" Serena said, and immediately stepped forward and hugged him. She rubbed her face against his bare chest and pressed a kiss to his skin.
Luna, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, and Sailor Jupiter gasped at the sudden revelation.
"Darien!" Sailor Mars said in shock.
"It's a good thing I already know who you are, because if I didn't you knowing my name would have instantly let me know." Darien said as he continued to run his fingers through his princess' hair.
He looked to the scouts and cat, trying not to get distracted by the feel of his princess enjoying the feel of his chest, and silently cursed them as he failed. If they had not followed her he and his love could be thoroughly enjoying each other at that moment.
His eyes skipped around the area, taking in the trees and the sound of the fountain behind them, and thought he and Serena would have to come back there. Already he had a fantasy building in his mind of the two of them transformed and taking full advantage of the late night solitude.
Sailor Mars, Raye, blushed in embarrassment, knowing he was right. There likely weren't many girls out there that knew his name, but she was just so shocked that he was Tuxedo Mask.
He was the masked man she had believed was a potential enemy, so much so that she had berated Serena many times for trusting him and talking to him. She had even worked with the others to try and keep her away from him, but that obviously hadn't worked.
"Well, this is certainly a shock." Lita said as she looked at Darien and Serena, seeing that she was clearly ignoring their presence in favor of his bare chest. Not that she could blame her; he did look good.
"So you came out here to see Darien, and what?" Luna finally said as she stepped forward.
"None of your business." Serena said firmly as she pulled her face from his chest.
"Serena..." Amy started.
"No! I can do what I want with him whenever I want. He is mine to do with as I please!" She snapped angrily, growing frustrated as she turned slightly to look at them over her shoulder.
"Yours to do with as you please? Really Serena?" Raye said as she rolled her eyes. "What gives you the right..."
"I gave her that right!" Darien snapped angrily, growing frustrated as well. "Long ago, in fact, and your attitude toward her and your obvious feelings for me are not ever going to change that!" He said firmly.
"Oh!" Lita breathed out with an amused huff. It had been obvious since she had met her that Raye had feelings for the guy, and just as obvious that he didn't care and was focused on Serena.
"I...don't think I understand." Amy said in confusion.
"Let us end this." Serena said as she looked up to Darien. "The night will not last forever, and I wish to spend some time with you before heading home."
"As you wish." He said as he kissed her forehead.
Serena smiled at him before she turned around, feeling his arms wrap around her to keep her close, and closed her eyes. She focused on bringing out her true self, letting the princess in her show, and placed her hands over Darien's.
"What..." Luna began but stopped and gasped in shock as she watched a golden crescent moon begin to appear and glow on Serena's forehead.
The girls and Luna watched in stunned shock as Serena began to glow with a white light that grew brighter and brighter until they had to close their eyes. When the light disappeared they opened their eyes to see Serena still standing in Darien's arms but looking vastly different.
Her hair was back up in the style they were used to seeing, but with the addition of white triple pearl barrettes. Her body was clad in a white sleeveless strapless dress with an elaborately decorated bodice, and accenting cuffs just off her shoulders on her upper arms. A string of pearls wrapped around her right wrist and she had three or four earrings in each earlobe.
Behind her they saw a flicker of light on Darien's forehead and as it got brighter they saw that it was a blue earth symbol glowing. Within moments his body took on a golden glow that grew brighter by the second until once again they had to close their eyes.
When the light disappeared they opened their eyes and saw that the earth symbol on Darien's forehead was gone and he was no longer barely dressed. He now wore a navy blue uniform with silver lining, tall knee high black boots, silver armor, and a floor length black cape with red inner lining with a sword on his hip.
They could not believe what they were seeing. Serena had suddenly gone from a regular girl in childish pajamas to a young woman that looked every bit the royal princess she appeared to be. Darien too had gone from a guy dressed in only a pair of sweat pants like he didn't care who saw him to an elegant looking soldier that looked ready to give a command and expect it to be followed.
"Does this mean you're the princess?" Lita asked in surprise, needing to voice the question even though it looked obvious.
"That is exactly what it means." Serena said seriously. "I am Serenity, Princess of the Moon Kingdom."
"And he is?" Amy asked slowly, shocked at what this night was leading to, as her eyes shifted to Darien.
"My prince." Serena answered simply.
"I am Endymion, Prince of the Golden Kingdom of the Earth." Darien elaborated calmly.
"Now that you know who we are why do you not all go elsewhere and do something more productive than spying on me during my private time, which will not be forgotten." Serena told them firmly. "In fact, it is debatable if it will even be forgiven." She added seriously.
And she truly meant that. She did not all appreciate her Scouts being transformed following her around and spying on her like they had. If she wanted to sneak out of her house in the middle of the night that was her business, and had absolutely nothing to do with any of them or Luna
