I'm still crying y'all. I feel like a total irrelevant in this Daniela fandom but I'm still going to carry on with this because.. You know.. I ship the fuck out of them. I'm sorry this is crap, I'm mourning the loss of Lorraine ok. Enjoy. Review. Up to you. Ps, I'm crap at storylines, so would you rather me do one-shots instead of this, or both? Up to you, again.

I stood a few meters behind Lorraine, I really didn't want to crowd her. The tension was scary, I'd never seen Lorraine so fired up before. I had to admit, it was a slight turn on for me, I'd never admit that to her though. It filled me with pride seeing her stand up for us like this, if there even was an us.

"Well? What is your problem in all of this, Michael?" her voice, that accent. It was even stronger when she was mad. I might wind her up later just to see her angry again, because it's worth it. Nikki, shut up, this is a serious situation. I felt a smirk creep up onto my face as I thought about what the situation could end up like. Hot, angry.. No. This isn't even happening.

"You damn well know what my problem is Lorraine! You, giving me the grief when you've been doing the exact same thing yourself!"

"I fucked mine up. At least let me try and get it right Michael!"

"Not on school time! What, you're too scared to tell me, or your sister yet you start kissing in broad daylight letting the kids see? That doesn't even make sense Lorraine!"

"Broad daylight? What are we, vampires? I work my ass off for this school, don't you think I deserve a little happiness?"

Shouting, the constant shouting was starting to get on my nerves. It was also drawing a lot of unneeded attention, paticulary from the pupils.

"Lo.. Let's just go yeah? It's not worth getting all worked up about." Listen to me Lorraine, please..

"You're worth fighting for Nikki. Fight for what you believe in, what you want right?"

"Oh for God's sake Lorraine, can't you two have your moment somewhere else? I have a school to run, I'm off. Oh and Lorraine?" Michael turned to look towards her, side eyeing me with a rather rude look. "You could do much better than her. Just saying." And with that he was off. Well, wasn't that hurtful. I could feel tears start to prick at the back of my eyelids. I shouldn't even be upset by his snide remark, it's not like he meant anything to me. Caught in my thoughts, I didn't notice Lorraine was stood right in front of me, her hand placed softly on my cheek, looking into my eyes.

"Nik..? You alright?"

"What..? Yeah, I'm fine. Honestly." Blunt, off, emotionless. Everything I'd always got so pissed at her for. Suddenly feeling bad, I grabbed Lorraine's hand and pulled her into my office again. Letting my tears flow all of a sudden, feeling weak, unlike the strong, army style person I was.

"Hey, come on. Don't cry ok? Ignore him, you're perfect. If anything it's you who could do so much better than me ok?" Lorraine whispered, pulling me over to my chair and pushing me slightly into it. Kneeling down in front of me, she took my hands, gazing into my eyes again. God, I loved her eyes, so blue and perfect. She was perfect. I leant forward and placed my forehead on hers, closing my eyes in the process, blocking it all out.

I felt so bad for Nikki, hearing Michael say that must of hurt. I still didn't get it, why wouldn't Nikki be good enough for me? Does Michael know something that I don't…? I doubt that very much, Nikki isn't the sort of person to open up to many people. I moved slightly and let her rest her head in the crook of my neck, caring for her for once, instead of the other way around. It felt weird, I wasn't used to caring for somebody. I felt out of control, but pushing this thought to the back of my mind, I looked down at Nikki, my girl. Placing a soft kiss on her forehead, I noticed that it was almost 2pm, so Tom would be back soon, great.

"Nik..? We need to go soon ok? Tom will be here soon, unless you want him to see you in this state?" I asked, smirking slightly at the last thing I said. "You haven't got anymore lessons now right? And I really don't want to be in the same room as Michael right now, so how about we go back to mine?"

"Yeah, that would be nice… Lorraine?"

"Yeah?"

"What does this mean for us…?" she hid her face after she said that, I loved the way that she went so shy around me. It was a completely new side to her personality, and I have to admit, I loved it.

"It means whatever you want it to mean, Nik. I ain't sayin' it will be easy, but I really like you. Pretty sure you like me too" I added at the end, laughing slightly.

"You're an idiot you know?" she implied, looking up at me as she said it, leaning forward. Her scent intoxicating me. Leaning further towards her, I closed my eyes, touching my lips on hers. It felt so good.

"Yeah.." I mumbled onto her lips. "I know".

(Authors BS; sorry it's short, sorry the talking isn't good, I prefer he describing side of things, personally)
