Darien stared at the doorway with his jaw down. Odango, no, Serena was standing in the doorway with that Melvin boy. Darien's eyes followed them watching her every move. Love and envy filled him. How much he would give to be Melvin at that moment of time! Rita winked at Andrew. Andrew, grinning furiously, winked back. Andrew cleared his throat causing Darien to finally tear his eyes away.
"Excuse me. I'll go use the bathroom."
Andrew left the table and once inside a stall took out his portable walkie-talkie.
"Goddess of Love, this is Apron boy, out."
The reply was quick and excited.
"Finally! How is it? Is target Bunny in sight of target Coffee Maniac? Is he jealous? How is Melvin doing? Out!"
Andrew chuckled.
"Don't worry. The plan is working so far. Target Coffee Maniac is jealous. Out."
"Good! Over and out!"
Darien couldn't pay attention to his food. He gulped his black coffee but couldn't seem to taste the usual bitterness he loved. His eyes were fixed on a certain blonde. She was giggling and Melvin was flirting with her. Melvin whispered something in her ear and she laughed louder. Darien growled and forced his food down his throat. Resolutions spun in his head.
I'll first corner him and punch the daylights out of him. Then I'll ask him why he dared to even come near my Odango. Then I'll strap him to an atomic bomb and detonate it when he's at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean! Then I'll take what is left of his body and…
Andrew and Rita silently laughed to themselves as Darien practically tore a bite from his sandwich.
"Enjoying your sandwich a lot, huh Darien?"
Darien didn't seem to hear and was too busy staring after Serena. Rita whispered into Andrew's ear.
"It's working! How did Mina get Melvin to do this?"
Andrew laughed quietly.
"She, Lita, and Rei ganged up on him. Then Mina trained him to do all the flirting. They have one of his favorite books and if he doesn't do this they threatened to rip it to pieces."
"Poor Melvin. I hope they weren't to harsh on him."
After Serena and Melvin left Andrew poked the brooding Darien.
"Hey. We need to go. See you later Darien!"
Andrew and Rita left. Darien shook himself and went to search for the unfortunate Melvin.
Melvin walked nervously into Mina's house.
"M-Mina! M-My b-book!"
Mina smiled warmly at him and Melvin shivered. That smile could easily turn into bare fangs if one wasn't careful. He stammered out his thanks and ran out as fast as he could only to be confronted by Darien.
"I need to talk to you."
Darien practically snarled.
"Eep!"
Serena happily lay back on her bed. Luna curled up next to her.
"How come you're so happy today?"
"I ate lunch with Melvin and he was so sweet! I'm not sure if he'll do it again but if he doesn't that's okay! It was wonderful. I think it was all a dream."
