Seto walked out to the big oak tree. He wasn't wearing the familiar school uniform but had changed into his normal clothes. He work a black turtle neck and pants under his purple trench coat. He had remembered how serenity said she liked the way it brought out his eyes. He wore this because he wanted Serenity to know he listened that he did adsorb information even if it didn't look like he was always listening.
Serenity was sitting under the tree when Seto walked over. She looked over hearing is footsteps approach. She closed her work book and moved over to make room for Seto to sit.
Seto sat next to her but didn't say anything. He wasn't sure what to say. He was used to her starting the conversation with some warm friendly comment. But it was obvious that was not the way it was going to work today.
"I just wanted to say thank you…" Serenity said trailing of, the look in her eyes saying that she was thinking about something she didn't wan to share.
"For what? I didn't do anything." Seto said totally baffled.
"Yes you did," Serenity replied, "you let me cry on your shoulder the day Tea died and you left me alone after that. You were the only one how realized that I just needed time to be alone."
"I was so worried about you all day and when I saw you in the library I was so relieved to know it wasn't you who was killed…" Seto said but got cut off before he could continue.
"You were worried about me?" Serenity asked surprised.
"When I didn't see you in any of our classes I thought you were dead. Of course I was worried." Seto said trying to explain without saying what he was really thinking.
"Oh." Serenity said looking down as if she had expected a different answer.
Serenity was struggling in her mind with weather or not she should tell Seto she liked him. She had been struggling with this for a long time even before Tea died she had liked him. She was going to tell him she liked him but she was too afraid of being rejected. She wanted him to know so badly though.
"What are you thinking about? You look sad." Seto said obvious concern in his voice.
"Nothing, nothing important anyways." Serenity said her voice wavering slightly as if she was about to cry.
"Is it about Tea?" Seto asked carefully not wanting to make her break down in tears or get angry.
"No it has nothing to do with Tea" Serenity said an odd controlled sound in her voice that made her sound cold and unfeeling.
"Serenity, please tell me what's wrong. I don't like seeing you hurt." Seto said trying to convince her to say what was on her mined.
"Why don't you like seeing me hurt?" Serenity's voice was frigid when she asked.
"I…I," Seto stammered and then managed to pull out the right words, "I like you Serenity." He looked away when he was finished to prevent Serenity from seeing his slight blush.
"You do?" Serenity asked the ice in her voice melted by Seto's confession.
"Yes, I just never told you because I thought that you, being Joey's sister, would hate me." Seto confessed looking over at her wondering what her reaction would be.
Serenity was smiling and she looked almost relieved. She now knew she had to admit her feelings to Seto or he might think she did hate him.
"I don't hate you Seto, I never have. I liked you… a lot. I thought you wouldn't like me because I was Joey's sister." Serenity was looking at the ground the whole time and there was very red blush adorning her cheeks.
It was Seto's turn to be shocked. He had defiantly not expected that confession from Serenity. He couldn't believe that someone so protected by their brother could be so different.
He didn't question her statement he could tell by the way she said it and the blush in her cheeks that it was true. He just smiled at her and she smiled back. The sweet innocent Serenity was starting to return.
"We should get back inside." Serenity said as she watched the last rays of the sun disappear under the horizon.
Seto agreed and the two of them went back inside holding hands.
