"Dairi? C'mon, baby, wake up."
Dairine lifted her head off her arms, and looked sleepily into Ronan's face. She blinked and looked around. She was at her aunt's, doing a little bookkeeping. Her aunt, Nita and Kit, and a couple of other local wizards, were out. So, of course, she had been left behind, her aunt asking her if she could do her a 'little' favour. 'Little' turned out to be the whole library. She was drifting between working and asking her manual for any changes. When had she fallen asleep? Then she remembered. Frustration, fatigue and hormones had over-whelmed her, to a point where she had put her head on the table, sobbing, and eventually fell asleep.
Ronan touched her face, his fingers lightly tracing over the tracks of her tears, across her eyelids, and then touched her lips.
"You were crying."
She sat up hastily, wiping her tears angrily with her sleeve, and turned to her book again, her face like stone.
"No I wasn't. My eyes were watering."
"Dairine."
She looked at him, and he bent down and kissed her forehead.
"Let it go." he whispered.
She gave. Falling into his arms, she sobbed into his shoulder. Ronan held her to him, closing his eyes and resting his head against hers. He rubbed her back, as she poured out all that was wrong in her life. How the only way she had ever had friends was intimidation. How she had been forced into a world of pure learning, not out of curiosity, but out of fear. How he only feeling of meaning to the world was taking care of Nita, until Kit came along, and Nita hadn't needed her anymore. All the friends she had, had to say goodbye to along the way. Her power. Her shut-down. Her mother's death. But most of all, the constant loneliness in her heart.
"It seems..everyone I ever get close to just leaves..."
"That's not true, Dairi. Nita, Kit, Tom and Carl. They're all still there."
"Nita and Kit have eachother. I mean, sure they love me, but I'm not needed in their life. And Tom and Carl, they're seniors, they would never have enough time to help me with everything."
"But they love you."
"Yes. But I want to be needed, Ronan."
"I need you." He said softly, his eyes meeting hers. Her breath caught, tears still streaming down her cheeks.
"I don't want to lose you too."
She was jerked forward, lips trailing over her face.
"Dairine," He whispered between kisses. "I... would never..leave you."He pressed his lips to hers. He kissed her desperately, and she responded.
"That's," She mumbled against his lips. "What my mom used to say to me when I was little."
He pulled back, and held her face in his hands, his thumbs brushing her cheeks.
"If I died, Dairine, I would always live right here," He took Dairine's hand, and placed it over her own heart. "Just like your mom does."
"But.."
He put his finger over her mouth, and then replaced it with his lips.
"No talk." he whispered against her lips.
"No arguing."
"Just silence."
An hour later, Ronan lifted his head from the book her was helping her work on, and blinked several times. She looked at him.
"What is it?"
"Dairine..." He suddenly grinned.
"What?"
"Look at your manual."
She shot him a curious look, and turned her attention to Spot. It was making clicking noises.
"What's the status, Spot?"
" Callahan, Dairine E.
243 E. Clinton Avenue
Hempstead NY 11575
(516) 555-6786."
Dairine looked at Ronan. He sighed, and looked at Spot.
"Spot?"
"Yeah?"
"Power rating."
It clicked again.
" Rating subject to change.
Rating level + 5.7/ -0.11
On Active status."
Dairine sat back in her chair, looking at Ronan. He laughed.
"Wait, there's more. Yo, Spot?"
"Yeah?"
"Partnership."
Dairine frowned. "Ronan, I don't.." She trailed off, as Spot interrupted.
"Partner rating subject to change.
(See Nolan, Ronan R.)
He laughed again as she threw himself at him, and he twirled around. Setting her back down on the ground, he grinned.
"Looks like your stuck with me, huh?"
"Nope. Looks like your stuck with ME."
They laughed. It was as simple as that.

Yay! D/R fluff. But this isn't the end! We still have to see some Partnership action between the two, more Power, and we still have to find out what her speciality is. Also, for those of you asking, next chapter we will find out why Ro's sudden appearances are Dairi's fault. So, stay..tuned...online? Whatever. Please review!
