I Don't Want To Be Alone Anymore

Chapter 4

Midii is in her college campus walking to her next class. While walking she is thinking of what happened last week. She recalls meeting Nanashi again in that circus now going by Trowa Barton. She especially remembers the kiss during the performance and the one in front of her apartment.

Midii brought her hand to her lips, "That kiss, it was so sweet like candy. After that kiss everything else tasted and smelled sweet. Why is that?" Midii thought consciously. Suddenly she bumped into somebody making that person and her dropping their books.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going!" Midii explained franticly picking up her books.

"It's alright." The student answered picking up his books.

"Let me find a way to make it up to you." Midii said getting up.

"Well...." The student began inquisitively. "You could go on a date with me."

"Except that." She replied bluntly. The student cringed at the response.

"Are you sure because I can---" The student stated then was cut off when he caught Midii glaring at him.

"Am I really that ugly?" The student asked exasperated.

"No, you are actually quite handsome. You have nice long black hair, dark blue eyes, tall, and seem physically fit." Midii stated in monotone.

"Then why did you decline?" The student asked confused.

Midii scoffed at the student, "You really can't be that dense." She said dryly. The student just blinked at her stupidly. "I'm taken already you idiot."

"So?" The student said airily. Midii responded by walking away hastily. The student chased after her. "Wait!" He cried out.

"Just go away." Midii said irritated speeding up.

"Okay, I was being a little cruel." He admitted. "How long have you two been going out anyway?" He asked in a curious and innocent manner. That just made Midii speed up more. The student ran up to Midii's side. Then Midii stopped and turned to him.

"Ah, so you're going to tell me." He said victoriously. Instead of words he got bunch of beatings instead. Midii walked away from the student who was cringing on the floor with his books sprawled out.

"Honestly! Some people are so annoying!" Midii thought angrily.

Meanwhile at the circus....

"Trowa~~~!" Catherine said in a singsong voice.

"Yes." Trowa answered in his usual monotone voice.

"Today is your second date with Midii!" Catherine announced. "Are you exited?" She asked innocently.

"Correction. It's our first date. I wouldn't call your little scandal a date and yes I'm exited." Trowa said poignantly.

"What do you mean that my setup wasn't the first date!" Catherine began hotly the softened when Trowa admitted he was exited. "Wow! I can't believe you're very exited!"

"Actually, I'm nervous instead of exited." Trowa said correcting himself.

"Oh this is just too sweet!" Catherine squealed. Trowa didn't say anything and turned away from Catherine.

"Speaking of sweet, ever since that kiss, everything has smelled and tasted sweet. Is it because she is the first one I kissed?" Trowa thought shyly, blushing, and smiling.

"Trowa what's wrong?" Catherine asked worriedly walking around him. When she saw Trowa blushing she got all happy again.

"Oh my gosh, you're blushing! Oh, I wish had a camera with me!" Catherine gushed.

"C-could you please stop that." Trowa mumbled. "We have work to do around here." he said trying to change the subject.

Catherine sighed, "Whatever you say."

Back at Midii's apartment....

Midii was getting ready for the date. She was getting really frustrated because she couldn't find anything good to wear. Then Midii started chuckling and fell on top of her bed.

She sighed, "Why am I getting so worked up for, it's just a date?" She asked herself wistfully. "It's not just a regular date, it's a date with Nanashi, no Trowa." The voice in the back of her head told her. Midii got up and rummaged through her closet some more. A couple of minutes later she finally decided on pastel green satin t-shirt, white polyester short skirt, and black flats. She did her hair in a simple ponytail at the nape of her neck fastened by a pearl barrette.

Midii stood in front of her vanity mirror and took a good look at her. She did a couple of poses and spun around once.

"I guess this will do." Midii said faintly.

In Trowa's room....

Trowa was already dressed he was wearing maroon t-shirt, jean jacket, black jeans, and Preventer boots. Before he went out he checked his hair in the mirror. He sort of felt silly doing it but he wanted this date to be special. It was their first official date after all (to him at least). He grabbed the lily and lavender bouquet and car keys and went off.

_____________________________________________________

Midii looked at her clock, seven fifty five it read.

"Trowa will be here soon." Midii thought nervously sitting on her bed. "I know this is silly of me, but I just hope he doesn't get into an accident on his way over here." A couple of seconds later there was a knock on the door. The knock startled Midii that she almost fell off her bed. "He's early." Midii got up and grabbed her denim jacket and purse. She walked over to the door, took a deep breath, and opened it. However, it wasn't Trowa, it was the jerk from before.

"Yo." The jerky student said.

"What are you doing here?" She asked venomously.

The student gave her a wry look, "I wanted to check on you." He said bemused.

"How did you know where I lived?" Midii asked both curious and flustered.

"I asked around campus." He said slowly brushing his hair with his hand.

"Any way I have a date remember, so if you'll excuse me." Midii said pushing the student away from the door, closing, and locking it.

"Oh yeah." He said sheepishly. "Damn!" He cursed to himself. Midii was now a couple of feet away from her apartment.

"Hey wait! Let me at least tell you my name! It's Thierry Duex!"

"Huh, he's French like me, but he's still annoying." As soon as Midii got to the curb of a sidewalk Trowa's car stopped in front of her. Trowa rolled down the window and they stared at each other for a couple of seconds.

"Midii?" Trowa said breaking the silence.

"Trowa!" Midii said happily hugging him. "I'm so glad you're here! Let me get into the passenger seat!"

"Okay...." Trowa shifted the gear to park and unlocked the passenger door. Midii quickly walked to the other side and got into the car. Before Trowa shifted back to drive Midii gave him big hug. Trowa was unprepared for this so instead of like melting he stiffened up.

"Hey, isn't this suppose to be the other way around?" Trowa thought blushing.

"I missed you." Midii whispered in his ear. That comment made him very happy and he loosened up.

"I missed you too." Trowa whispered back shyly. Midii then snuggled Trowa's cheek with hers, then she let go. Midii saw the bouquet on the dashboard when she was about to seatbelt.

"These, are for me?" She asked shyly reaching over for them.

"Uh-huh." Trowa blushed.

"These are lovely! Thank you!" Midii took a big whiff of the bouquet. "Smells so nice." "So Trowa, where are we going?" She asked curiously.

"We're going to a French restaurant. I hope you don't mind."

"No, that's all right." Midii said softly.

"Midii?" Trowa said worriedly.

"Huh?"

"....Never mind."

"I shouldn't have responded like that. He's choosing a French restaurant because he wants to make me comfortable!" Midii thought scolding herself.

________________________________________________

Midii then turned on the radio the song was short and sweet. The song is called Chasin' After You.

Chasin' after you, pursuing

that fragrance of you

No one will steal it

the fragrant star

Memory is a corpuscle

Deeply in my heart, it's like a stain

Constantly stirred up

My heart, crazy me!

Shooting stars glide out of the night sky

Bet on the glitter of the last one

I will find my way to you

This I promise earnestly

Shoutin' for my love

Shoutin' for your love

Chasin' after you, over infinity

To search for that fragrance

No matter where it's hidden, the fragrance

can't be shrouded

Embracing you with my arms

Hold you in my arms, that is all

Although I imagine it, although I wish

Look up at the starry night!

To my call to you

Can't you answer? I don't have a way

I want you to wait for me like that

We will meet for sure

Shoutin' for my love

Shoutin' for your love

"Scary, that seems the way Thierry is to me." Midii thought uncomfortably. Midii took another big whiff of the bouquet. "This smell is comforting like Trowa." A bead of sweat fell down the back of her head because what she thought was also similar to the song. "I wonder if we'll have a good time." Midii thought worriedly. "Oh well, I guess we have to wait and see."

Author's Note: I'm sorry that I cut Chapter 4 very abruptly! It's just that I have a really have a hard time stopping and if I continue it'll be very long like the last chapter! Please e-mail on what you think. I had trouble thinking of Thierry's name I wanted to make it French so I chose this one. I also made his personality a little like Duo's unintentionally but I just wanted him to be some cocky jerk (I'm not saying that Duo is! I adore him very much and the other characters!). I'll try to make the next chapter more interesting (heck, I think I have to). Please check back and continue reading! 3 The lyrics are from the Sera Myuu musical. This song is called Chasin' After You it's sung by The Three Lights/Starlights I don't know the actresses names. The lyrics are translated by Valerie Yoga.
