Confrontation!

Serena groaned as she walked down the hall towards her apartment. The groceries in her arms leaned hazardously to the left as she fumbled with the task of unlocking her door. "Damn bananas!" Serena griped as the fruit slowly slid out of the bag. She cautiously squatted down to retrieve them only to have someone beat her to it. A tan hand slowly came toward her with the produce.

Serena tensed as she slowly raised her ultramarine eyes to stare into the face of Darien Shields. "Here." He stated with a small smile.

"…. Thanks…. I think…." Serena mumbled giving him the most bizarre look possible and gently taking the fruit from him. Darien blushed and looked at his feet a moment before suddenly taking a step forward and rigidly grabbing the blonde's arm.

"Can we please talk?" He asked. His eyes pleaded with her to listen to him. His grip tightened around her lean appendage.

"No." Serena immediately stated as she turned sharply towards her door and knocked loudly only to suddenly be turned around and pushed up against the cold wood.

"We need to talk." Darien murmured desperately. Serena glared fiercely and ripped her arm out of his hold. Darien's nerve faltered as Rena's eyes converted to deep silver, anger surging through her. "I'm sorry.." he pleaded.

"Well I'm sorry but that's not good enough. You have lost all rights to even be around me let alone talk to me. I have nothing to." Serena was suddenly cut off as the door peeled open behind her. Serena let out a slight "Eep!" as she fell into Daman's chest. "He he…hi!" She uttered, slightly frazzled.

"What?" Daman asked. Befuddlement was openly present on his features. The confusion immediately left as his eyes set on Darien, who looked horrified. J

"What the hell?" barked Daman as he gently moved Serena to the side of the doorframe. The foreign man was immediately inches away from Darien's face.

"May I help you Mr. Shields?" Daman asked ferociously. His green eyes drilled into Darien's cobalt ones. "I just want to talk to her about what happened." Darien ground out, his resolve slowly returning.

"Well, obviously she doesn't want to talk to you. So I suggest you leave…now." Daman emphasized by motioning down the hall.

"Fine. But you can't be around her all the time Daman." Darien stated as he sauntered down the all to his apartment.

Daman turned around to see Serena leaning her head against the doorframe. Her eyes searched his as she seemed to revel in something. "I love you." She suddenly stated. Daman's eyes widened. He had always hoped he would hear her proclaim her love for him, but he could only hope. After all she had been through, he never thought she would admit that she had any form of weakness. "Wha… what?" Daman rasped as a lump formed in his throat.

Serena slowly strode to him as she kissed him lightly on the lips, making him blush. "I said I love you." Daman was suddenly truly happy. He had never experienced true happiness until this very moment in his life.

"You don't have to say it back. I just wanted you to know." Serena lightly wrapped her arms around his neck and gently nuzzled his nose. "So now you know."

Daman was immediately beaming. As he practically jumped poor Rena. "I love you too!" He whispered giddily. Serena just laughed as she kissed him. When she finally pulled away she grabbed his hand and handed him a bag of groceries that had fallen when he pounced on her. "Come on," she laughed, "I got you your bananas." Daman just snickered, "Yay…"
