sitanomoto & Narumi

[Narumi]

Serenity was curled up beside her boyfriend. Her eyes fluttered open as she heard the sound of birds singing just outside of their window. It had just turned 12 PM and they had slept in. She sat up and began heading downstairs, running a hand through her waist length hair.


She began to prepare breakfast for them.

 

[sitanomoto]

Preston grumbled as he felt Serenity leave his side. He turned over, tired. Last night was.... Well..... Crazy. He realized that he would not be able to go back to sleep and sat up grudgingly. He shook his head full of shaggy hair and opened his eyes. "Serenity?" He mumbled, still groggy from sleep. He heard some clanging in his kitchen. He pulled on his slippers and walked down in his pajamas, a white t-shirt and basketball shorts.

 

[Narumi]

Serenity was getting a pancake mix out of the cupboard, some cream and strawberries out and she smiles at him as she looks to her boyfriend. "Morning ~!" She greets. Serenity was always cheery, even in the mornings.

 

[sitanomoto]

"Morning," he said, flopping down on the couch in the living room near the kitchen. "What's for breakfast?" He said, rubbing his eyes tiredly. He was absolutely NOT a morning person. His eyes, a bright green, blinked slowly.

 

[Narumi]

Serenity serves up the pancakes, creams and strawberries and brings his to him, sitting down beside him with hers. "Pancakes" She says with a giggle and dabs some cream onto his nose, playfully.

 

[sitanomoto]

Preston smiled and wiped the cream off of his nose. "You spoil me, Serenity," he said, kissing her on the cheek and then taking a bite of his pancakes. "Mmmm."

@Narumi

 

[Narumi]

Serenity began to clean up once they were done eating, and then returned to the dining table, sitting opposite him, she smiles weakly at him and the places her hand in his.

 

[sitanomoto]

Preston took her hand and gently squeezed it. "How are you after last night?" He asked, a concerned smile on his face.

 

[Narumi]

Serenity nods lightly. "I'm fine" She says and then stood up, after seeing some mail fall onto the floor. She returned to the table with the mail, and noticed they had more bills. She bit her lip, they were running short on money.

 

[sitanomoto]

Preston noticed her worry and smiled. "I'm working two jobs, remember? We should be able to pay these off." He sighed and ran his other hand through his hair. He saw a letter for them in the mail, in a red envelope. "Hey, What's this?"

 

[Narumi]

Serenity shrugs and then waited for him to open the letter, she was still worried about the bills, even though they could pay it off, they were still low on money.

 

[sitanomoto]

"Let's see...." He reached for the envelope. "Do you want to open it, or should I?"

 

[Narumi]

"You" She says softly, curious as to what the letter was.

 

[sitanomoto]

"Alright." He opened the letter and took out a piece of paper about four inches long, folded in half. His eyes widened as he read the letter.


If you want to keep your powers a secret, come to the dead tree at the edge of the woods at midnight tonight.


I will be waiting.


Preston's eyes widened as he read the letter. He turned over the red envelope and looked for the return address. There was none. "Serenity...." He said quietly.


@Narumi

 

[Narumi]

Serenity had stood up and looked out of the window, then turns to him and wanders back to the table. "What's up?" She asks.

 

[sitanomoto]

Preston cleared his throat. "It's..... Nothing. Nothing....." He said, hiding the note. "Nothing important." This letter put them both in danger. He would rather die himself than to see her die as well. Her safety was his number one concern.


 
@Narumi

 

[Narumi]

Serenity took the letter anyways. "We should probably go, it could be important" She says after reading it.

 

[sitanomoto]

"But Serenity-" Preston started. He didn't get farther than that. "What if he wants to kill us?" He thought. "What if he wants to kill me and torture Serenity?" His brow furrowed as he worried about this.

 

[Narumi]

Serenity shook her head. "I doubt that, I can always go by myself. I doubt it's that worrying" She says with a sigh.

 

[sitanomoto]

Preston shook his head. "I'm going with you. You are absolutely not going by yourself." He stood and put his arm around her waist, then kissed her forehead. "You mean the world to me, Serenity. You know that."

 

[Narumi]

Serenity smiles, and then kisses his cheek lightly. "You too" She says. When the evening grew near and it got later, she began to prep for the meeting with the unknown stranger.

[sitanomoto]

Preston had spent the rest of the morning and all of the afternoon pacing. He was in his black pants and green t-shirt now,

 

[Narumi]

Serenity wanders outside, extremely curious as she clutches the red letter in hand. She didn't seem to wait for Preston, and wanders out by herself, not seeming to mind about her safety, girl could be strong too, at least when they wanted to be. She began to make her way towards the location and looks around.
