Before Me and You
(a song fic)


'Every kiss before this
Was nothing but a waste of breath'

He couldn't breath, no he wasn't suffocation but
something a lot more pleasing. Her sweet lips were
caressing his own with such softness entertwined with
passion that it literally took his breath away. No, he
couldn't breath, but he would rather die than lose her
warmth.

'And every I love you was just a whoop-de-doo
Never knew what I missed before this
Da doo, doo, doo
Ooo. ooo'

He hadn't realized how empty and dark his life was
before she brought her light into it. Then again, maybe he
did and just wouldn't acknowledge it. They were sitting on
his couch 'supposedly' watching a movie but she had fallen
asleep in his arms *again *. Not that he minded, no, it was
the exact opposite. He looked at her angelic face, her
sun-kissed locks were falling over her neck and surrounding
them both like they were in a sea of honey. He smiled to
himself when he thought of earlier when he had lost his
hands in those golden locks of hers, during one of their
passionate kisses. Looking at her sleeping form he could
hardly believe that this was the same minx who had persuaded
him to watch this sappy movie by trailing soft kisses along
the nape of his neck. As he watched her sleep his lids
started to get heavy also, but he had one thought running
through his mind.

"I love you," he said softly to the sleeping beauty in
his arms "I love you so much." he whispered softly kissing
her head. As he drifted off to slumber land himself her
soft 'I love you too' reached his ears and a soft smile
touched his lips.

'And every love song before you came along
Was always about someone else'

Mamoru chuckled as he watched his girlfriend jump
around his apartment's living room. She was singing (not
so well) along with the CD that she had put in. She may not
sound like Celine Dion, but she sure looked better (at least
in his opinion). Usagi smiled and winked at her boyfriend
as she directed her current song and dance towards him, with
a beautiful smile lighting up her face.

'Oh and every star was just a wish to far
Always the realist, yeah before this'

Mamoru smiled to himself as his girlfriend continued
to chatter about how beautiful the park was.

"Look Mamo-chan!" she exclaimed "A shooting star,
hurry-up and make a wish" she instructed before squishing
her eyes shut. Mamoru looked at his girl and shook his head
a small smile playing on his lips. Usagi opened her eyes to
find her boyfriend looking at her with *that* look on his
face. The one that made her heart beat so fast that it felt
like it was going to explode.

"What'd you wish for Mamo-chan?" Usagi asked trying
to calm her racing heart.

"Nothing." he stated simply.

"Nani! Why not?" she asked and adorable (in his
opinion) confused expression on her face.

"Because," he replied smiling down at her "the last
star I wished on already granted my one wish."

Usagi blushed crimson and gave her boyfriend a soft kiss.

'And the way things go, you'll never know
Where love will lead you to'

Who would have ever thought that when that 30% test
paper hit him upside the head. The vision of beauty that it
belonged to would be his princess, his hero, and his angel all
rolled into one.

'And every thing we've ever dreamed lies
Before me and you'

Even if there wasn't a dream princess or a Sailor Moon
she would still always be his angel.

'People say it's not every day
That you find the perfect fit'

She was snuggled in his arms again as the watched the
fireworks. It was a spectacular sight to behold, but it's
beauty paled in comparison to hers. She took his hand in her
own and smiled up at him. It still amazed him how perfectly
they fit together. She fit perfectly everywhere, in his arms,
in his hand, and even in his lap (but don't tell her dad).

'But when I fell for you I found the other shoe
Cupid was a myth, before this'

It was Valentines Day and he had finally found the perfect
present. It took him about a week and a half but he found it.
A beautiful small crystal statue of a bunny holding a heart,
it was set on a sterling silver base that played a soft melody
similar to the one in their locket. Motoki nearly keeled over
when Mamoru showed him the present, but not because of it's
sparkling beauty. Instead what shocked him was the fact that
Chiba Mamoru, the ORIGONAL Grinch, who's heart was *six*
sizes too small. HE had spent almost *two weeks* looking for
the perfect present for the girl that he *LOVED*.

'And the way things go you'll never know
Where love will lead you to
And everything we've ever dreamed
Lies before me and you'

When they exchanged gifts that night her eyes shimmered
with unshed tears as she saw her bunny present. Ant the
tears flowed steadily as the music began to play. Usagi nibbled
on her lower lip as she nervously fingered the box in her hands.
She explained to him that her gift wasn't as beautiful as his
but it held a lot of meaning. She then slowly handed the box
over to Mamoru, who opened it just as slowly. What he saw inside
made him catch his breath. The box consisted of two professionally
shot framed photos. The first was one of Usagi when she was about
five, she was holding a beautiful red rose. The second was a
recent one, a picture of Usagi and Chibi-Usa. Usagi explained
that when she picked them out she had a special thought in mind,
Mamoru looked at Usagi with stormy eyes.

"You see," she explained "the first shows the past
and that I was always there and you *were never* alone." She paused
for a second a considerate expression crossing her once naive
features. "The second" she continued "well, it shows the future
and that you'll *never be* alone."

Now he was the one with steadily flowing tears as he looked
at her. His princess, his hero, his angel, most of all his Usako.
At the last thought he caught her up in his arms and gave her a
passionate kiss. She was all he ever wished for, all he ever
dreamed of, she was his perfect fit, his Usako.

'Yeah, before me
me and you'
