As I must once again state, SM characters, are not mine, drat!
Hope you like!!!!!

~ Flashback ~
She tried to summon her courage. She knew that she loved him, it was only a question of whether she could say the words aloud to him.
"Darien," she said.
He looked at her. She was almost sucked into the great depths of his blue orbs.
"I love you."
~ End ~
Darien stared at Serena with a numb shock. "What?"
Serena was still amazed that she had gotten enough courage to finally do it.
She smiled, proud of herself. She was now at the mercy of fate.
Serena looked up into his eyes, his beautiful blue eyes. "I love you," she said again.
She liked the sound of the words coming out of her mouth.
Darien was still caught up in amazement. "You love me?" he blinked, then looked at her, hoping for some answers to why she was saying this. He was feeling a bit lost. He loved her, no doubt in the heaven to deny that he did.
He just remembered the last encounter that they had had. She had run off after he had kissed her. He had to keep his strength; he had to see if what she was saying to him was true.
"I've probably loved you along, but have been too blind to see it. We've been through so much, being best of friends…"
"Yeah, and you'll always be my best friend. That's why I feel horrible that I just kissed you, it was out of no where…"
"So are you saying that it was a mistake?"
Darien shook his head. "God no!"
"Good. Because it's been the kiss, the whole thing, including when we slept together…"
Serena looked down; the words were trying to close up her throat. But she had started, and she couldn't just leave it like that.
"Everything has meant so much to me."
Darien swallowed nervously. What if she was only feeling this way because she was in a mourning period over losing Rubeus.
"I had Rubeus because… I couldn't have you."
"You never lost me as a friend, I would never do that… I mean that time when you got mad at me… well, I fixed that, I was never going to let you stop being my friend."
"Why do you keep doing that?"
"What?" he asked.
"Refer to us as nothing but friends."
He swallowed nervously.
"Darien, do you not hear what I'm saying. I love you; I've always loved you. The time that we slept together, being each other's first, I mean that's special. Then the kiss… it just added to the confusion."
"What confusion?"
"I was beginning to see you in more of the way that I had always wanted you. Plus you were there for one of the toughest things that I had to go through in my life."
"Because I will always be there for you."
"As my friend, I don't want your friendship, well, I do, but I want more then that. I want the whole thing that we could ever dream of."
Serena looked deeply into his eyes. "I don't think you would have kissed me if you didn't feel something for me."
He swallowed nervously, but the words were slipping away from his mind.
"I had so much to get past, and all the time there you were, always. The love that we share can be found no where else. I know it from the way that we made love, and the way that you kissed me. I would have kept kissing you, but I froze in a panic."
"Why?" he choked out, finally getting some words.
"Because I felt the love that we can share, and it scared me, but what scares me more, is us losing the chance to at least try with our love…"
Her words were cut off; Darien swept her up in a deep, passionate kiss.
Fireworks were shooting off in her head, and she could feel her toes curl. It was even better then the last time.
Darien didn't want her to feel the pain, he knew that she loved him. He finally knew that he had her love in return to his. He wanted her to know it.
When they parted, they were breathless. Serena leant her head against his chest, over his heart.
Tears slid down her cheek.
Darien lifted her face with his finger, then gave her a look of concern. "Why are you crying?"
"I've been so stupid!"
"No, you haven't."
"Yes I have! I almost threw it away."
"Serena, I'm not going to let you say that. As much as I don't want to say this, but fate has brought us together."
She gazed at him curiously.
"I've loved you since, forever, and even when Rubeus posed to providence that it might change the way things should have been…"
Serena was shocked. It was true, in its way. She loved Darien more then she could have possibly loved Rubeus. She loved Rubeus in her own way, but Darien… he was a soul mate.
"Serena, we had to have all this go on, it's like we had to be tested to see if we actually cared enough to make it work."
She bit her lip. "Yet, what if Rubeus hadn't died?"
Darien wiped away the tears from her face. "Honey, don't think about that. I've seen you suffer enough already. We love each other, and that should be enough to forget the past."
Serena nodded, while giving him a weak smile.
"Now, that we have finally have been given the ultimate chance here…"
Serena met her soul with Darien's in that glance. It was the glance that had been made for them, for that moment.
Their faces moved closer, and soon they were locked in a passionate embrace that gave each other the ultimate hope of the future, and erasing the difficult path that they had to follow to get to that point. It was all good, after it took so much.
They were joined together in soul in that embrace, and it was something hoped to be forever!
****
… So sad that I have reached the end!
I hope that you liked all of it, and I can only hope that when I get the next story done that you're as supportive then.
Here's a little thought, should there be a sequel?
I leave this to you, and I'll see what you say in the reviews.
Ciao,
