Disclaimer: I don't own any of this....you know the usual routine, you don't own anything yet you don't want to be sued either...anyhow..start reading ;)
Note: Songs next to the Chapter Title is just music that....inspired me..or else I just thought it sounded good to blend with the chapter so everyone knows.
AN: I am truly sorry for having this come out so late. In the beginning it was just a little writers block, probably because of thanks giving stress, but then when classes started up again, teachers thought it'd be cool to overload the students with work, so I had to do reports/labs/and all that other junk, sorry to make everyone wait so long just the same.
Chapter 13 - Russian Dolls And Roses
(Jefferson Starship - Nothing's Going To Stop Us Now)
Serena never left Darien's bedside. She had stopped her constant crying, but didn't move, almost as if she was trying to wake up from a droom she was having. Everyone tried to get Serena to eat, but she lost her appetite. Andrew checked up on Darien too once in a while. Mina told him about their identities and of Darien's. He seemed stunned at first, but relieved. Mina was just thankful that he didn't get defensive, plus she wanted him to know in hopes that he doesn't end up like Darien, and try saving her when she could defend herself.
It was two days now. Serena was holding Darien's hand tentitively. Then Darien stirred slightly. Serena gasped.
Serena softly: D-Darien?
Darien: Uhh...S-Serena? What happened? Where am I?
Serena hugging Darien now: We're in your apartment. *Playfulling hitting Darien* Why did you push me away, don't you like me?
Darien: No, Serena, I don't like you. That's why I pushed you away. *Serena gasped at the sound of this, but Darien quickly continued* I love you, and I am fully prepared to die to protect you from any harm.
Serena: Aww, don't say that! I don't want to live if you weren't with me!
Darien: I'll fight with all my heart to remian by your side, my princess.
Serena: I love you, my prince.
Darien: And I love you, my princess.
Serena leaned over to kiss Darien. Outside, Lita thought she heard voices and came in, which made Serena dart back into her chair with a deep blush. Serena silently cursed at Lita for breaking her moment with Darien. Lita looked down, blushing, and tried to get out when Amy and Raye came in, along with Mina and Andrew arm in arm. Serena, giving up being left alone with Darien, got up. Everyone was relieved that Darien had awoken, and then, Raye's bombardment of questions began, which began calmly.
Raye: Why didn't you tell us that you were Tuxedo Mask?
Darien: Why didn't you tell me you were Sailor Scouts?
Raye: Why didn't you tell Serena since you knew her identity already?
Darien: Why worry her?
Raye beginning to become angered by her questions being answered by questions: If you don't stop that, I'm going to pound you!
Darien, quite cooly: Would you do that to a wounded man, especially when his girlfriend is in the same room?
Raye threw her arms up and was ready to jump on him when Lita grabbed her and pulled her aside. Then Darien's focus was upon Andrew.
Darien: Andrew, you get that thing I asked you to get me a few days ago?
Andrew: Yup. Here you go. *He went to his apartment to get a box and brought it back.*
Darien to Serena: Can you come here, Cupcake, and open this for me please.
Serena: If you call me that, I-I.....I get to call you, Muffin!
Darien just rolled his eyes as he motioned towards the package. She giggled and went to open the package. It revealed a box full of roses, buried in it was a bunny with a crescent moon, while holding another box. When she opened the new box, it displayed a crescent moon pendant with a red rose pendant on a necklace, which was laced around another box. She paused to comment on the package being like a Russian Doll (AN: You know, those things that has smaller dolls within each one) but went to open the third box. When she opened it, it didn't reveal anymore boxes, but it had the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. Within the box was a ring, a ring with a crescent moon with four small diamonds within the edge, and four on the outside edge.
Serena: Muffin, I-I-It's beautiful...
Darien: Well?
Serena: I-I-I can't accept this....I mean, I'm only your girlfriend!
Darien sweatdrops: I was kind of hoping that this would bring it to the next level...
Serena realized what he meant, but blinked innocently anyway to play him along: Huh?
Darien: Will you marry me, Serena?
Serena smiled and laughed at his expression and forcing him to say it, and hugged and kissed him: Of course, Muffin!
Darien just sighed as everyone left to leave the two a moment alone.
--IceBlade - That's it. It's basically finished, unless there's a high calling for an epilogue, _lindy*girl_. Actually, I do plan on having an epilogue, it'll be out soon I hope. In the mean time, get cozy with my new story, A Heart Within A Pizza. It involves Darien and Serena too! ....I'm still working on a better title for the story, but for the time being, that's the name of it, I'm open for suggestions by the way. It'll be out shortly.
