87WW Prompt: amnesia: Darien and Serena are friends and she wakes thinking he is her boyfriend. There was a bit more to the prompt, but I don't want to give the story away. ;-)
Tuxedo Mask watched in horror as one last youma came out from behind the building and caught Sailor Moon by surprise, hitting her and launching her across the street into a building head first. He gasped and ran for her, ignoring the battle against the youma completely.
He was horrified when he reached her. She was completely unconscious, and he couldn't wake her up. He knew he couldn't take her to the hospital, and his stomach clenched. He didn't know what to do to help her. It was crushing him.
Sailor Venus showed up and bent down next to her. "How is she?"
Sailor Mercury arrived and pulled out her computer, scanning her. "She'll be okay, but she has a concussion. Luckily her sailor abilities will keep it from being faital.
Tuxedo Mask picked her up and held her close. "Let's take her to my place. It's the safest, and I have some medical textbooks I want to look at." They all agreed and headed to his apartment.
Before he got her to his place, she detransformed in his arms. The dirt and blood disappeared, and she was in her bunny pajamas again. She looked so innocent and sweet. He knew no one was looking, so he kissed her gently on the forehead. When he entered through his balcony, he immediately set her on his bed to rest and detransformed.
The girls arrived through his balcony door and stood around his bed. He stepped back and let them check on her.
His head jerked to look at her when he heard her speak. She moaned out and said, "Ouch. My head hurts." She looked around her at the girls and said, "Who are you?"
Raye crossed her arms, "Who do you think we are, Serena?"
"I don't know, or I wouldn't have asked you." She looked at them all. "Why does my head hurt?"
Amy pulled out her computer and scanned Serena. "She has damage to the long term memory portion of her brain. I think she has amnesia."
Mina sat on the bed, "Serena, we're your best friends. Your memory will come back. Right, Amy?"
Amy nodded, "Yes, it will. The swelling just needs to go down enough. It might take a little time."
Serena started crying. She was scared that she didn't remember people, and she felt alone. Suddenly, she saw her boyfriend. She was relieved she remembered him. She reached out her hand, "Darien, I remember you."
He walked over and stood by the bed. He was trying to remain stoic and not let her know how scared he was. He was glad she remembered someone. He imagined that would be hard to face them all and not know who they were.
Serena rolled her eyes. "You're not going to come and give me a kiss to make it better?"
"Why would I?"
She shook her head at him. "I would think my boyfriend could spare me a kiss for any reason." She tried to sit up, winced, and laid back down. "Ouch! My head feels awful."
"Serena, why don't you stay here and rest. The girls and I will step out. You need to heal." Darien said.
She quickly fell asleep. What commenced in the living room was a quiet, but spirited, debate. Darien hissed out, "I failed to protect her from that youma. I will protect her now. She will stay here with me. I'm the only one she recognizes."
"She thinks you're her boyfriend, and you're not!" Raye hissed back.
"What do you suggest then?" He crossed his arms. "She only remembers me, and she needs to feel safe. Just leave her here. I'll break it to her slowly. Let her at least sleep well tonight."
Mina sighed, "You'll tell her?"
"Yes, I'll tell her. Please go bring her some clothes for about a week. She's welcome to stay here while she recovers." They all nodded and left his apartment.
Darien went into his room and tucked a sleeping Serena under the covers. He gently kissed her on the lips. He noticed she smiled in her sleep. Damn, did he want it to be true that he was her boyfriend. He quietly put her clothes in a few of his empty dresser drawers.
The next morning, he woke up and climbed out of the bed. He'd slept on top of the covers with a blanket covering him. He also fell asleep staring at her beautiful face. It was bliss.
Serena woke in Darien's room around ten and tried to remember where she put her clothes. She opened a few drawers in his dresser and found them quickly. She dressed in a cute outfit and stepped out of the room.
She saw him reading, snuck up on him, and kissed his cheek. "Good morning, Darien."
Darien was startled by her easy manner and her playfulness. What shocked him the most was the desire he had that this was really his life. He knew he loved her, but he was now learning what a life with her could be like. "Good morning. How's your head? Did you remember anything more?"
"My head doesn't hurt as much. I did manage to remember what drawers my clothes were in at your place though. That's a step in the right direction, right?" She smiled at him hopefully. She then walked around the couch and tried to climb into his arms. He stood quickly and walked to the kitchen to get himself a glass of cold water.
Darien's day was spent dodging Serena's advances. He'd told the girls he'd tell her the truth, but he couldn't form the words. At the same time, he knew she'd remember, and he couldn't take advantage of her confusion. It was a torturous day.
Serena was slowly coming to realize something was wrong. At first, she thought it was because he was just worried about her, but soon, she couldn't fool herself anymore. Darien retreated any time she came near. He really didn't seem to be comfortable with her touching him.
By the time they had finished dinner, she was a mess of anxiety. She loved him, and she couldn't figure out why he didn't seem to want her by him. Serena really couldn't take it anymore, so she spoke to him from her heart hoping it would ease whatever was going on between them. She kissed Darien on the cheek and said, "I love you."
His whole world slammed to a halt, and he wanted to say it back to her so badly. After all, he loved her with his whole self. Yet, he knew she'd remember she wasn't actually his girlfriend. He didn't know if she'd really still love him then. Then...when she remembered what a jerk he usually was to her. Instead of telling her he loved her, he smiled at her and asked, "Would you like some ice cream? I have your favorite."
She smiled at him and nodded. "Absolutely! I would lo... that would be great." She was impressed she was able to force a smile and a light tone.
They quietly ate ice cream together. He really liked watching her enjoy it. He was glad he knew so many things about her so that he was able to have it in his apartment.
When she finished, she cleaned up their dishes and said, "I'm going to take a shower before bed."
Serena stepped into the shower and let her tears flow. She wept and covered her mouth so her sobs couldn't be heard over the running water. She'd told him she loved him, and he offered her ice cream, granted it was her favorite. She hated her amnesia. What exactly was she forgetting about their relationship? She was so sure that they had been happy together, but obviously that wasn't true. She was angry that she wasn't remembering her past. She felt like a burden to him. It was obvious to her that they were over.
She called Mina when she got out of the shower. She didn't remember her, but it was easy to tell that Mina valued her. "I don't remember anything more, but I need your help."
"I'll do anything for you. What is it?"
"Darien. Was he about to break up with me before I hit my head?"
Mina was silent for a long time. "What did he say?"
Serena sighed, "I told him I love him, and he offered me my favorite ice cream."
"Oh."
"There's something you're not telling me. What is it?"
Mina hesitated. "I… he wanted to handle it."
"I was sobbing in the shower so he couldn't hear me just now. It's not working." Serena tried to convey with those two sentences that she needed Mina to tell her. She felt so raw.
"You aren't dating, you never were. He wanted to protect you when you only remembered him. I'm so sorry."
Serena looked at her trembling hand and a tear leaked down her cheek. "Thank you. I don't remember you yet, but it's obvious that you're an incredible friend to me. I look forward to remembering you."
"Serena, I'm so sorry. The only reason I went along with it was because I was sure he'd fall for you. You loved him before you hit your head too. I screwed up so badly."
"No, it's great that you thought he had to love me. That's so sweet."
"And, now you're hurt."
"And now, I know. I assume I was agonizing over it before?"
"You were."
"Now I have my answer. Just because I don't like the answer doesn't mean that it's a bad thing to know."
"I… I can come and get you."
"I'll talk to him about all of this first. I'm sure I'll be calling you again soon. I'm glad I have you in my life."
They said goodbye and she went and washed her face again to clean away her tears. She then dressed in conservative pajamas and went to confront Darien. If her heart was going to be broken, now was as good a time as any. She headed to the living room and stopped just out of sight. Andrew was there, and he looked angry. She decided that she wasn't above eavesdropping.
"What the hell, Darien?! This is why you've avoided the arcade, isn't it? You knew I'd find out and be pissed."
"What do you want me to have done?! She has amnesia, and I'm the only one she remembers." He shot back.
Andrew scoffed, "That's not the problem and you know it. If she was just a friend, it would be fine. She thinks you're dating! Have you slept with her?"
"No! I know we're not together. I'd never do that."
Serena covered her mouth to hide her whimper.
Andrew shot back, "I thought you weren't capable of doing this to her either. She's in love with you, and you're letting her think you're dating."
"I know! She just told me!"
"What did you say when she said that?"
Darien deflated. "I offered her ice cream."
She saw Andrew's face grow stone cold. Her eyes grew wide as saucers when she saw his fist connect with Darien's jaw. He stumbled back and held it. Andrew hissed out, "I can't even look at you right now. She deserves so much better than this!"
"I fucking know! Don't you think I get how horrible I was to her? It's killing me. She's going to remember we're not dating and what an ass I was to her! She won't love me when she remembers."
"Idiot. I know she loves you because she loved you before the amnesia. She's going to get her memory back and still love you, you jackass. And now you've hurt her." He clenched his fists.
"What?"
"Don't bother coming to the arcade. I don't want to look at you anymore."
Darien stepped forward. "Wait! She loved me before?"
Andrew narrowed his eyes at Darien. "Yes, she did, and now… now you're going to crush her. Actually, you probably already did. Fucking ice cream! What the hell?"
Darien's shoulder dropped. "No. Please, no. I… you don't understand! I went along with being her boyfriend because I'm in love with her! I have been for a long time. All I wanted to do was protect her."
"Then why didn't you tell me you loved me back?" Serena asked, stepping out from her hiding space.
Darien whipped his head to look at her. "Because I knew you'd remember I wasn't your boyfriend, and I didn't think you'd still love me. My love though, that is never going away. I love you."
She smirked. "Want ice cream?"
"Yea. I'm a jackass." He gave her a weak smile. "I still love you."
Her eyes softened, and she smiled at him. "I love you too."
"I'm leaving." Andrew said, and then quickly left them to work it out themselves.
Darien stared at her, and Serena stepped towards him, saying, "Now, give me the truth."
"We aren't dating. You were injured, and all I wanted was to make you feel safe. So, I went along with it and brought you here. The selfish part of me was happy to have you here with me, all to myself."
"That's why you wouldn't touch me."
"Yes."
A tear leaked down her cheek. "So, it wasn't that you were going to break up with me. It was that we weren't ever together."
"Yes. I realized my mistake after I got you here. I wanted you so badly, and you wouldn't stop me because you thought you wanted me too."
"According to Mina and Andrew, I wanted you before I hit my head."
"I didn't know that."
She stepped towards him. "Now you do. What are you going to do about it?"
He leaned forward and kissed her passionately. He reveled in the feel of her lips. She opened to him and he loved her taste. He plundered her desperately. When he pulled back, her eyes lost their focus, and she gasped.
She caressed his face. "I remember. I remember everything. Your kiss brought me back."
He looked at her with his nerves obviously on display. "And?"
"Am I your girlfriend now?"
"Yes, please be my girlfriend."
"Take me to your bed, and make love to me. I want you so badly. Make me scream your name."
Darien's eyes darkened with uncontrolled lust. "I'll go get condoms."
"I also remember that I have an implant in my arm. You don't need them."
He nodded and breathed hard. "Yea. Wow." He shook his head to clear it a bit. "I have so many things I want to do with you."
"You do? What kind of things?" She placed her hand on his abs and gave him a sultry look.
"I want to taste your pussy. I've fantasized about having my head between your thighs. Would you let me? Can I do that with you?"
She nodded and backed towards his bedroom. "I want that."
He picked her up and placed her on his bed, and she stripped off her pajamas.
Darien's eyes raked over her body. "You're the single sexiest thing in the world. I can't believe I get to see you naked."
She spread her legs for him. "And now?"
"Even better. Damn, this is so erotic."
He settled between her legs and licked her pussy with the flat of his tongue. She bucked her hips a bit to add friction.
"I didn't know it could feel that good." She said.
"And, I've only started." He then licked and sucked on her, making her a writhing mess of desire and pleasure. All she could feel was his mouth on her pussy. Everything else seemed to cease to exist to her. She was screaming out in pleasure and fisting her hands in his hair to hold him there where she most needed him. He swirled his tongue around her clit a few more times, and she orgasmed hard. He was washed in her taste, and he licked it all up.
She was panting out hard and trembling. She worked to get her breath back. "I don't know how I survived all of that pleasure. I think it almost killed me."
Darien tried to figure out how to control himself. He couldn't believe he was able to do that to her. He was so fucking proud of himself. He wanted to scream out that he did that. That he brought her that much pleasure and how she was his. Instead he said, "That's only the beginning. Now, it's time for me to make love to you. You want that. Don't you?"
"Yes! I want that." She looked at him with desire burning in her eyes.
He climbed on top of her and used his fingers to play with her pussy to make sure she was ready again. He then slowly thrust into her, breaking her barrier and paused. "You're mine." He nipped at her neck. "I love you, and I'm never letting you go. Promise you'll stay here and not move out."
"I promise."
"Good girl." He then started thrusting into her. He watched her face for her reaction. Her moaning and gasps would have told him all on their own. She was loving it. He changed the angle, and she screamed out his name in pleasure. He kept himself there, and she was arching her back, meeting him thrust for thrust. He was grunting. He couldn't believe how tight she was and how it felt against his cock. She was bliss and heat and fire and sex itself. She was everything, and he loved the feel of her. Her soft creamy skin felt incredible against his body. He wanted to devour her and make her all his. He took her hard, trying to show her that they were perfect together, and that he'd make it so good for her. He came hard deep inside of her as she shouted out her orgasm and milked him dry.
They laid there tangled in each other for a while. It took a long time for them to both catch their breath. He held her tightly.
Serena softly said, "I didn't even know it could all be like that. I don't ever want to leave your bed."
"I'm glad I please you."
"Do I please you?"
"So fucking much, Serena. That was the best experience of my life. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be begging you for sex, a lot."
"You won't be. Trust me." He scoffed at that. "You won't have to beg. Just say 'sex', and I'll spread my legs for you."
He chuckled and kissed her cheek. "I'm sure it's not that easy."
"Trust me. After that, I'm going to be that easy."
They were both exhausted and drifted off to sleep in each other's arms. He woke later to her caressing his face.
He smiled at her and kissed her lips. He then joked and said, "Sex."
She then straddled him and spread her legs wide as she sank down on his hard cock. "I told you it'd be that easy." She rode him hard and brought him to orgasm. He felt himself cum deep inside of her, pulsing hard. She orgasmed and collapsed on his chest. "I'll never get enough of that."
Darien held her close and kissed her passionately. "Neither will I. You're amazing."
They spent the weekend barely leaving his bed. He'd give her a wry smile and say, "sex" and they'd be tangled up with him deep inside of her. By the end of the first day, her voice was raw from her screaming in pleasure. He could get hard just thinking about that fact then he'd say "sex" again, and they'd be chasing their orgasms again. He was tempted but refrained to take her on his balcony so everyone could hear how much pleasure he brought her. He was so proud of what he could do to her.
When Monday came, she started to cry. "What's wrong, Serena. I'll make it better."
She gave a little chuckle. "You can't. I don't want to leave your bed."
He looked her in the eye, said "sex", and brought them both to orgasm before they had to shower and head off to University.
Mina was there, waiting for Serena. "When you didn't call, I talked to Andrew, and he told me what happened. You're together?"
"Yes. Sorry I didn't tell you, but…"
"But…?"
"We had sex all weekend. It was incredible."
"In that case, I'd have been furious if you called me!"
Serena chuckled. "I remember you all by the way."
"As glad as I am to hear that, how's the sex?!"
"Did you not hear me say we had sex the whole weekend. I actually cried when I had to leave his bed this morning."
"That good?!"
"That good."
