My Little Secret: A Love Story
Tusuigo Usagi skipped happily to the arcade whistling a sunny tune while
thinking of Funtura Motoki, the cute arcade guy. 'Wow, we have two whole
weeks out of school. That's great that means more time to spend in the
arcade, which means more time with Motoki!!!'
"YES!!" she squealed out loud as she quickened her pace and
caught a few curious stares in her direction. When out of nowhere,WHAM!
She ran smack dab into someone.
"Gomen, gomen nasi, gomen nasi, gomen, gomen" she said immediately going
into apology mode.
"Gee odango amata if you would watch where your going we could stop
meeting this way." Was the sarcastic reply to her wholehearted apology.
Usagi cringed at the nickname, the voice, and most of all the person they
belong to.
"Shut up Mamoru-baka!!" she screamed and annoyed expression crossing
her beautiful features.
"Hey Odango," Mamoru said holding up his hands up defensively "I'm just
telling the truth, unless..." he paused dramatically.
Usagi looked up at him with another annoyed expression crossing her face.
"Unless WHAT!!" she screamed after a few minutes.
Mamoru gave that lopsided smile that he did so well. He then stepped
closer to and Usagi tilted her head up forcing her to look into his stormy
blue eyes (which made her heart race for a reason she couldn't describe and
wouldn't admit) and replied.
"Unless you LIKE running into me." he said tugging softly on one of
her pigtails with his free hand and giving her a charming grin. He then
let go of her face and turned around chuckling to himself.
"Ja ne, odango amata!" he said waving over his shoulder to the dazed
teenage girl he left in his wake. Which, was enough to snap Usagi out
of her dazed state.
"My name is USAGI NOT ODANGO AMATA!!! And I DO NOT LIKE RUNNING INTO
YOU MAMOROU-BAKA, AS A MATTER OF FACT IT'S THE WORST PART OF MY DAY!!"
she continued to scream long after he had rounded the corner.
*****************************************************************************
Usagi sat in the arcade slowly sipping on a chocolate shake it had been
four days since her encounter with Mamoru and she hadn't seen him since.
Though she would NEVER admit it to anyone, Mamoru or Mamo-chan (as she
secretly called him) was right the other day, she liked running into him.
As a matter of fact these past four days that she hasn't seen him she's
felt quite empty, it's just been so, so, well...boring.
"Hey Usagi-chan how are you today?" asked Motoki wiping his hands on
his apron.
"Ok." she responded but not in her usual cheery voice. Motoki frowned
when he noticed that Usagi's customary smile and cheery personality were
missing again today.
'That's the third time this week' Motoki thought to himself.
"What's wrong Usagi-chan?" he asked pulling up a chair and sitting down
next to her.
Usagi smiled Motoki was so sweet, always there to listen and try to help,
but she just couldn't tell him about her feelings for Mamo-chan. After all
he and Mamoru were best friends and although she knew Motoki wouldn't tell
it would just be too weird, and after all "odango amata" and the "baka" it
was laughable, even to her. No she just couldn't tell...could she? 'Maybe
if I hint around it or make up and excuses as to why I want to know where
he is or has been, yeah, yeah that's it I'll say I just was wondering
because I haven't heard his annoying voice for a day or two that's all.'
"Usagi-chan, UUUsssaaagggiii" said Motoki waving his hands in front of the
somewhat distant blond in front of him. "Usagi-chan are you in there!!
HELLOOO!!" he said knocking on her head.
"Hun?" she said shaking her head her sunny-blond ponytails swaying
slightly from the small action.
"Welcome back, how was your trip?" Motoki asked chuckling.
"Nani?" Usagi said a confused expression crossing her features.
"Nothing, so what's on your mind Usagi-chan?" he asked serious again.
"What makes you think I have something on my mind?" she asked scratching
the back of her head and laughing nervously.
Motoki just tilted his head to the side, blew his bangs with an exasperated
sigh and gave her a "get real" look.
" Well it's just that no one's around, I mean this is spring break yet
Amy-chan went to look at schools, Minako-chan has a modeling job in Paris,
Mako-chan is studding with some kind of famous chef, Naru-chan is off at
some type of jewelry expo with her mom. Rei-chan is meditating for some
type of priestess something or other at the temple." she said looking at
Motoki who was listing considerately. 'This would be the best time to throw
it in', Usagi thought" Mamorou-kun has disappeared, even Umio-kun has
something to do for the break." (AN: Is that right?) She threw in hastily.
"I'm just sooooo board" she finished sighing dramatically.
On the other end Motoki's ears perked up at the mention of Mamoru's name.
He was surprised that she had brought him up but since they ran into each
other daily, literally. Then that wasn't really a shock but the fact that
she referred to him as Mamoru-kun, not Mamoru-baka or even Mamoru-san but
-kun which is a term reserved for those that you're close to. Now this,
this had sparked Motoki's interest.
"Well don't worry about it I'm sure your friends will be back soon enough
and as for Mamoru..." Motoki paused to watch Usagi's reaction which wasn't
much until he mentioned Mamoru. " he should back be soon too."
"Back?" Usagi asked her curiosity now peaked. She looked at Motoki with
wide eyes as she chewed on the straw from her dearly departed shake.
"Yeah, he went to America to look at a few colleges." Motoki stated
mater-of-factly though the grin on his face was slowly spreading.
"Why!" Usagi almost screamed then she caught herself 'real smooth Usagi'
her mind screamed. "I mean," she continued, trying to compose herself
"what's wrong with the colleges down here?" she asked giggling nervously.
"Nothing." said a deep silky voice from behind her "I just like to keep my
options open."
Usagi whipped her head around and looked up to see non-other than the
dreaded baka himself, Mamoru standing there with his customary lopsided
smile.
"Why I didn't know you cared odango " he said with a devious grin. "If I
didn't know any better I'd say you missed me."
"Well you do know better, don't you." she stated trying to regain her
usual facade.
"No." he replied, scratching his chin for a moment before his grin
returned "No I don't."
"Ugh!" Usagi moaned exasperated, this man was impossible" just leave
me alone Mamo-chan!" she screamed it wasn't until after she had said it
Usagi realized her mistake.
She hesitantly looked over at Mamoru who had his mouth wide open but no
words would come out at the moment he was having trouble thinking of any.
She then looked over to Motoki, who although he looked shocked had a knowing
grin on his face.
"What did you call me?" Mamoru asked after getting over his initial shock.
" Mamo-san, that's what I called you Mamo-chsan." Usagi mumbled the last
part, having to catch herself a second time.
"No, that's not what you called me." he stated mater-of-factly.
"Yes it is!" she yelled back.
"No, it isn't." he replied calmly looking into Usagi's eyes.
She knew she only had one more hope so she looked to Motoki for help, but
he wasn't any he still had that stupid smile on his face (which Usagi USED
to think was cute) and he was shaking his head no.
Usagi was now upset she had just humiliated herself in the middle of
the arcade and most importantly right in front of her Mamo-chan he would
hate her for sure now, not only would he hate her but he and Motoki would
probably laugh at her too. She couldn't stand that the thought of him
really laughing at her and not over her klutz attacks or her grades but at
her feelings. Tears started to well up in Usagi eyes, she just had to get
out of there. Usagi pushed Mamoru out of the way and ran out of the arcade
to the only place she could think of to be alone...the park. (AN: Isn't
that where they always go? Well who am I to mess with tradition?)
***********************************************************************
Usagi stood on the bridge looking at her reflection in the water which
would occasionally ripple as her silent tears hit the smooth surface. ' I
can't believe I did that I made such a fool of myself how am I ever going
to face him again he probably thinks I'm just a klutzy, ditzy, air head
with a school girl crush, Kama knows he has enough of those. How do I
explain to him it's so much more than a crush?' she sighed, then sniffled
'maybe I can just avoid him' she thought wistfully. Then reality hit ' yeah
right not go to the arcade, get up early for school, take a new route home,
like any of those are possible besides I STILL wouldn't be happy, not if I
don't get to see him. What I have for Mamo-chan isn't just a crush if he's
not around I don't feel complete, I feel like half my soul is missing.'
"Usagi." Someone snapped her out of her daydreams. She turned abruptly
to see Mamoru leaning against the railing opposite of her. After she had
got over the initial shock of him actually using her real name she decided
to speak.
"How long have you been there?" she asked.
"I don't know a while" he said looking up at the sky then back at her.
" You seemed to be deep in thought so I didn't want disturb you, but it's
starting to get pretty late." he said tilting his head to the side his
unruly ebony bangs falling into his sapphire eyes.
"Oh." she said now noticing how dark it had become.
After a few minutes Mamoru broke the uncomfortable silence.
"Well I decide not to go to school in America after all."
Usagi breathed a sigh of relief that he didn't bring up what happened
earlier.
"Why not?" she asked quickly.
"I didn't realize you wanted to get rid of me so badly." he said with
a tinge of sarcasim and... hurt?
"I don't" replied Usagi hastily "I mean, it's just that, well what
changed up your mind" she recovered as best she could.
"Well it's just that their colleges don't have much, if any more than our
colleges down here, so why go through the hassle of moving." he said
looking at the sky again.
"Oh." A disappointed Usagi replied looking at the ground 'what did you
think you baka' she silently scolded herself ' he was going to say you.
Get real.'
"Usagi." Mamoru said breaking the somewhat comfortable silence.
"Yes?" she asked.
"If I did go to school in America... wo-would you miss me?" he asked
hesitantly.
Usagi looked up somewhat startled at the question.
"But you already decided you weren't going didn't you?" she asked.
"You know," he continued completely ignoring her question as he gazed
into the night sky "If I were to move to America I would miss you."
"NANI?!" Usagi asked now more shocked and confused than ever.
"Did you mean it?" he asked looking into her eyes "Did you mean it
when you called me Mamo-chan earlier?" he continued without waiting for
a reply. "You know my heart almost stopped back there and I wouldn't
have cared if it did because at least I would have died a happy man. You
don't know how long I've wanted to hear you call me something besides
"baka". Something that let me know you care for me at least half as much
as I care for you."
"What do you mean, Ma-Mamo-chan?" Usagi asked now using the name
somewhat hesitantly but without remorse.
Mamoru smiled when he heard the name.
"I mean Usagi, Usako that when you're not around I feel like part of
me is missing and no I don't mean part of my arm or leg, but part of my
soul." His blue eyes storming with intensity, passion, but most of all
love.
Genuine love like the kind she felt for him, and dreamed that he would
one day feel for her. Usagi wanted to say so much but it wouldn't come out
and it didn't need to because just like his, her eyes told him all he
needed to and wanted to hear. With every word he said Mamoru had inched his
way closer to Usagi until he could feel the material of her light Jean
jacket on his chest.
"I love you Mamo-chan." she whispered as their faces inched towards
each other.
"And I you Usako." he replied before their lips met in a sweet but
passionate kiss.
