This is Jean-Hime, but this time I wanted to try my hand at a Seiya/Usagi
Christmas story. I'll continue this if anyone's interested in it, so, if
you like it, review after you read.*
The Twelve Days of Christmas
Chapter One: My Wish List
"Usagi, I can't take this anymore. For years we've been together, and we've won our battles through trust and love, but those days are over."
This was how Mamoru started the conversation as Usagi stood facing her boyfriend. He turned away from her face, wanting at all costs to avoid her tearful eyes as his former 'Usako' absorbed the information. He hated telling her this, and especially a month before Christmas, but what could he do? He couldn't take any more of the empty love she had given him in the past few weeks.
Usagi hung her head. "So, this is it, then? Destiny means nothing more to you now."
The man before her nodded his head wearily. "Usako, since that day at the tower, I've always doubted our destiny." He took her shoulders firmly, forcing her to look into his truthful eyes. "I don't want to live like this anymore. Please Usagi, let's end it now."
Usagi sighed and turned away, then faced him with a smile. "I wish you a happy life then, Mamoru." Wiping away the forming tears in her eyes, she turned away and ran through the park. She knew it was coming because even she couldn't love him the way she had two years ago. Things had changed since she started growing up.
Rei thought she was hearing things. Mamoru breaking up with Usagi?! That was insane. So many things rode on their loves, including the future of Crystal Tokyo and Chibiusa. Why would something like that ever happen?
Ami sighed as she listened to Usagi's account of her breakup. Makato absently twirled her straw in her milkshake while Minako lay her head in her hands. They were sitting at the Crown after a hard day of school filled with tests and for Usagi and Minako, a day of detention. They would do anything for Usagi, but they couldn't turn this decision around.
"Good thing the Outer Senshi are in New York right now," Makato said, trying to be cheerful but failing miserably. "If they found out, they might bring Mamoru back in a big wooden box instead of back in one piece." She awkwardly laughed.
Nothing really good came out of the conversation, and Usagi went back to her house in gloomy spirits. She wanted Mamoru back. Not for his love, but for the protection and warmth he gave her in times like these. She went into her house and into her room, shutting the door behind her.
Usagi had a secret that she had never told the Inner Senshi or Mamoru in the time she had know them. As she fished around in her writing desk for a piece of paper and a pen, her mind still was thinking of her former boyfriend. He would laugh his head off if he knew that Usagi still believed in Santa Clause.
She had never grown out of the jolly, fat, old guy in a red suit. Every year she wrote him a wish list, and he had never failed to deliver. Last year, Luna had almost found out and Usagi managed to succeed before her cat began to ask any prying questions. Right now, Luna was spending more time with Artemis at Minako's place.
"Hmmm, what to ask for," Usagi said out loud. The only thing that came to mind was Mamoru. She sighed. 'I guess it's one thing to ask for,' she thought as she wrote absently, My true love. It turned out she couldn't think of anything else and took a quiet trip to mail the letter so her parents wouldn't find out. She really wanted Mamoru back, or someone to come her way.
