Desperate to Be Yours
Chapter Six
The One With the Major Confession
Darien looked down at Serena, who was sitting in front of the television,
laughing hysterically. She was actually here, in his apartment, and she seemed
almost...Happy about it. Happy to be sitting on the floor in front of him,
wearing an old pair of his sweats and a way-too-big old black shirt of his.
Serena laughed again, and he glanced down at her. Her long pigtails were
spilled out on the floor, the honey-colored tresses contrasting with his dark,
purplish-blue carpet.
"Serena," he whispered, intending to tell her about his growing feelings. She
turned, and the look of expectation in her moon-beam eyes took his breath away.
"Yes, Darien?" she asked softly, staring at him.
"I..." he coughed and cleared his throat. "I'm...going to get a drink. Ya
want?"
"Um, sure," Serena replied, her shoulders sinking with evident defeat. She
sighed and resumed watching the weird anime show about this blonde girl with
a hairstyle very similar to her own. *{ *Angel sweatdrops* heh heh...}*
Darien walked slowly into the kitchen, cursing himself under his breath.

Serena stretched out further on the thick carpet and closed her eyes. She'd
been so sure that Darien was going to tell her that he liked her, but instead
he'd asked if she wanted a drink and bolted. Serena sighed and sprawled out
even more. Darien reentered, undetected by her closed, cotton candy pink frosted
eyelids, and heard her defeated sigh. He silently set the drinks down and
hovered over her, unsure of what to do.
"Uh, Serena?" he finally asked. She opened her eyes with a startled gasp and
shrieked when she saw him. Darien was leaning over and hadn't uttered a word
until he was practically on top of her. The scream toppled him over the rest
of the way, and he flew towards the floor. Just in time, he threw out his arms
in a push-up stance, one on either side of Serena's shocked face.
"Fancy meeting you here," Darien grinned. He'd just had mint gum, Serena
recognized faintly. If only he would just lean down a little more and...
*Serena! Stop! If you let him in, he'll hurt you-just like every other guy
always has. Just keep your defenses up. Abruptly, she placed her hands on his
chest and pushed as hard as she could.
"Oof!" Darien grunted as he flew backwards. He sat up and looked at her.
"Serena-" he stopped and sighed, than stood up and handed her her glass.
"It's strawberry soda-I remembered at the arcade, Andrew said it was your
favorite..." Serena tried in vain not to smile-he was just so damn cute and
sweet-but felt her stone façade start to crumble.
"Darien-" she managed before she fell back and started giggling helplessly.
*{Pretend she put the cup up first- *please!*}*
Darien caught his breath-she just looked so adorable lying defenselessly on
the ground, just like a little girl. He reached down to pull her to her feet,
but in her state she ended up bringing him to the floor.
When Serena finally stopped laughing, it took her several minutes to catch her
breath. When she did, she looked into Darien's sapphire eyes and felt herself
running on pure adrenaline. She paled slightly at the idea of telling him,
but she knew it had to be done.
"Serena? Serena! Are you okay? You look kinda pale..." Darien asked.
She stared into those gorgeous eyes, then grabbed him and kissed him roughly.
When she finally pulled back, she took advantage of his of his shocked stupor.
"Darien, I think I'm falling in love with you!" she blurted just before she
ran out the door.
