Enter Darien

Darien stepped out of the store and put on his dark shades with a smooth, practiced motion. The sound of running to his right caught his attention and he turned to see Rini coming down the sidewalk, looking back at a haggard looking Serena. She turned forward and her eyes lit up as she recognized him, a brilliant smile on her face.

"Darien!" she threw her small arms around his waist and squeezed. He patted her head fondly and smiled down at her.

"Hi, Munchkin. That Meat-ball Head abusing you again?" She giggled and hugged him tighter, nodding. "If how you treat Rini is the extent of your maternal instincts, I shudder to think how messed up your own kids will be," he said with a smirk in the blonde's direction.

"Rini, don't cling too tight to that dog. You might get flees," Serena said sharply as she turned her back on him and stuck her nose in the air. Darien felt his ears grow hot with embarrassment. His feelings for her always made him uneasy and he could see how he deserved Serena's contempt for the way he treated her but for some reason he just couldn't bring himself to ever say anything nice to her. The only reasoning he could come up with was that it was his only defense against her beautiful blue eyes and stunning smile that could have him staring at her like some love struck idiot whenever he glimpsed them.

Rini's sharp glance was completely wasted on Serena and she turned back to him with an even bigger smile.

"Come on, Rini, let's go," she said and started walking blindly and promptly slammed into a crossing guard pole. He winced at the force of the blow and Serena slid to the ground, tears streaming down her face and her hands cupping her nose. His first impulse was to run to her, wrap his arms around her and promise that nothing would ever hurt her again. He shook his head sharply at himself. God, he had to get a grip!

The strange black cat that had hovered around them as he and Serena had exchanged verbal blows bounded toward her and rubbed herself against Serena's knees as if to comfort her. Rini just sighed in frustration.

"Watch where you're going you idiot," she snapped, her high, childish voice fraught with vexation. Darian winced at the ear shattering pitches that Serena emitted as she cried.

"Listen to her, Meat-ball Head. It'll save your nose some abuse," he said flippantly. "I guess one of you has to be the adult here," he said to Rini. She nodded solemnly and turned to Serena.

"Get up. You're making a scene."

"Try not to be such an air head from now on, Meat-ball Head," he said as he walked off.

"Don't call me that!" she wailed after him but he kept walking, refusing to even acknowledge her comment. He sighed as he walked off. As always, he felt bad about the way he had talked to Serena. He really should at least try to be civil to her. If he kept this up by the time he got enough courage to actually ask her out she'd hate his guts, if she didn't already, and he'd have no one to blame but himself.
