Serena woke up to arm wrapped tightly around her and a body to her back. Panic washed over her and she started to struggle. Oh not again, please not again. Just when she was about to scream, the body next to her moved and groaned. She stilled because she knew the sound of that voice. Silencer. Relief washed over her in waves as Trowa sat up.

"Tenshi, you awake?" Trowa's voice came out as a mere whisper to keep from disturbing her if she wasn't awake yet.

"Y-yes, I'm awake now, Silencer." Trowa heard the break in her voice and looked over at her. She was still a little shaky from when she first woke up and had thought he was Darien.

"Tenshi, what's wrong?" Strong arms pulled Serena onto his lap while tears started to seep out of the corners of her eyes.

"N-nothing, Trowa." Seeing his look of disbelief, Serena decided to tell him the truth. "I just thought that you were Darien when I first woke up, and it scared me to have a guy right against me for a minute."

Trowa got a frown on his face and seemed to be deep in thought for a minute and then he spoke gently to Serena. "Maybe you shouldn't sleep with me. I never want you to be afraid of me. I guess you just aren't ready to be in close proximity to a male, and maybe on a subconscious level, you are afraid of me. It might be better if you sleep in the spare bedroom from now on, Tenshi."

At his words, Serena looked up and it seemed as though she had shattered inside. "You don't want me here, Trowa? I'm sorry. You were always there for me before and I just assumed that you were okay with my staying here. If you want, I'll leave." With that said, Serena started to get off the bed to get her stuff. Like lightning, Trowa's hand reached out and grabbed her, pulling her soft body next to him.

"I never want you to go, Tenshi. I just thought you might feel more comfortable and at ease if you didn't wake up next to me. I want you to feel safe in my home, not scared." At his words, Serena looked up and gave him a bright smile and hugged him.

"I could never be scared of you or with you, my Silencer." They held each other for a few minutes until Serena broke the silence. "What's for breakfast?"

**^^**^^**^^

"I want to get out of the house, Trowa."

"No." That one word told her not to argue because she wouldn't win, but something in her made her rise to the challenge. Besides, she wanted to go out. No one wants to be stuck in a single place for days at a time. She needed to get out.

"Silencer, I am bored silly. You can't keep me cooped up like some bird in a cage. I want to go places. I've been inside your apartment for days already without going anywhere. I neeeeeed to get out. PLEASE???"

"Not today, Tenshi. I have to meet the guys and I would feel better if you had someone to protect you when you are out. No one can hurt you here, but out there, you are vulnerable. I'll take you outside tomorrow, just not today." Trowa got up and kissed Serena's cheek while heading out the door. Over his shoulder, he gave her a stiff warning not to go anywhere or to get into any trouble.

Serena glared at the door as it shut behind Trowa. "Don't go anywhere my foot. Who does he think he is to tell me when I can go out?" With that, Serena grabbed her jacket and went out the door.
