{Title}: Innocence

{Chapter}: 1. Possibly the only. Might continue if liked.
{Summary}: Stanton & Serena have a fluffy night in the park. Serena finds out something that she never knew could make her eternally happy.
{Notes}: I take requests. I'm thinking of doing something similar (but differant) for Michael and Vanessa. What do you guys think?
Flaming is not nice. :/ But, I love getting constructive critisism. So feel free.
Serena walked through the park with a smile on her face. It was nighttime and fairly chilly. She barely felt it though. Wearing black dress pants and a wild blue flower-patterned long-sleeved shirt paid off. Stanton should be there in a little bit if he wasn't already. At night, when there wasn't a force either of them had to stop, they loved to just come here to a certain spot. One where they could just sit and reflect. A sigh escaped her lips as she approached that tree. She smiled lightly. Stanton wasn't there yet. She kneeled down next to the tree and leaned against it's bark with a contented sigh.
Only a few moments later, she felt her mind being overrun by a comforting feeling. A peaceful smile on her face, she relaxed her tense muscles. She knew this was the comforting work of Stanton.
"My precious man…" She whispered to herself. She slipped her eyes shut and breathed in the fresh night air. She let Stanton's thoughts relax her mind, as they often did, before he materialized. Their thoughts blended with one another, Stanton still unseen in the shadows. She let out a peaceful moan.
Serena felt her chin be lifted by Stanton's index finger. Slowly, she opened her eyes and smiled at him. She saw his soul behind those deep mesmerizing eyes. The soul only she could truly see. Tears nearly welled in her eyes at his touch. So sensual…so soothing.
"I've missed you." His profound voice said with all solemnity.
Serena snapped fully into reality. "I missed you too." She whispered back. He reached a hand out to touch her cheek. She tilted her cheek into his touch as his hand cuffed itself around it. She studied his features. They were grave and meaningful. The light of the moon shone on his features, bringing light to his eyes. He bent forward and kissed her on her lips. A certain darkness enveloped her as she closed her eyes. Stanton had a hold on her mind once again. Yet, this wasn't bad. She felt safe. She couldn't come to until Stanton decided it was time to part, but she trusted him. She didn't know why, but she confided in him with everything she had.
They parted the sweet sensuous kiss. Her surroundings came clear to her once again. She leaned into his chest. Wrapping his arms around her, Stanton pulled her closer. She stretched her legs across the glistening soft grass and snuggled into him. When she opened her eyes again, she spotted a white picnic basket by her side. A light gasp escaped her lips.
"Stanton? What'd you bring?" Her soft voice rang.
"Hm?" He looked down at her and followed her gaze to the picnic basket. "Oh, that." He leant slightly to reach for it and pulled it to them. He opened one side and pulled out a container. Serena eyed it with delight. Arms still around her, he took the cover off. Chocolate-covered strawberries lay neatly inside of it.
"My favorite!" She said, gently taking the container as it was handed to her. She sat up slightly, leaning against his shoulder.
"I knew you'd like it." He said with a satisfied grin. "I remembered you told me used to make them all the time for your father."
It was true. Serena was overwhelmed that he remembered. She must have told him that about a year ago. "I…" She searched for the words but couldn't find any that truly expressed how happy she felt. Finally, she settled for a genuine; "Thank you."
As a response, Stanton just wrapped his arm around her shoulder in response. He brushed the dark hair from her forehead and kissed it gently. He reached into the container and pulled out a strawberry by it's green top. Her eyes lit up as he brought it up to her mouth. She took a bite of it and when she was finished he set in in the discarded container top.
She never would have thought she'd be sitting here with somebody that was supposed to be her enemy. She didn't know how and she didn't know why but she knew she cared deeply for him. Right now, nothing mattered. Not even the Atrox. She glanced up to him only to see his face wistful. Serena frowned, concerned.
"Stanton?"
"Hm?" He semi-snapped out of his trance.
"What's wrong."
He was silent for a couple of moments. Until he finally stirred. He released his hold on her and fixed himself so he was on his knees and facing her.
"Serena…" He began. Serena was worried. Scared of what he might say next. When he didn't continue it stirred something inside of her. A knot filled her stomach.
"What is it?"
"I…really don't know how to put this in words. I've never loved anybody more."
Love? Serena stifled a gasp. Did he just say loved?
Stanton noticed that what he'd been wanting to say had already slipped out. "What I wanted to say…is Serena…I love you."
Serena spent a couple of moments looking into his eyes. This gave way to her inward debate. Love? Did she really love Stanton? She took a moment to study him. His black muscle shirt. His handsome blond hair and muscular body. Then she reflected on the times they'd spent together. How he always made her feel alive. Like nobody before. Even though he was dedicated to such an evil being, around her he seemed almost innocent. Like this Prince of darkness didn't really know if he wanted to be so dedicated anymore. She'd thought about the subject more than once before this. That if someday he did tell her he loved her, would that be a bad thing? Would the daughters approve? Somehow she felt nowhere near that. She felt almost sure of their relationship. A confidence that the daughters would be happy for her. Even though it is Stanton.
Inwardly she thanked Stanton for being so patient with her. She knew he understood she couldn't just say these words like they were nothing. She had to gather her thoughts.
Finally she smiled. Yes. "I love you too, Stanton." She said as if she'd just had an epiphany. She could see the tears of surprise welling in his eyes. "I love you too." She repeated, letting the tears fall. Abruptly, but gently, he took her into his arms. He squeezed her tight never to let go.
"Promise me you'll stand by me." He said with a child-like enigma. She knew instantly he meant to be patient with him. To help him overcome some of the evil building up inside of him. Serena was taken aback by his display of emotion. She held him protectively in her arms. He wasn't normally like this. This gave her even more of a feeling. He truly loved her. He really did.
"I promise Stanton." She whispered, tangling her fingers in the soft hair she loved so much. "I'll never let you go."
