CLASSIC BREAK

by Leni


Haruka smirked.

Michiru rolled her eyes.

In their living room, five girls were sprawled as well as they could all over their furniture.

The most comfortable was Usagi, of course, since she had her boyfriend-shaped pillow and Mamoru was shaking his head amusedly even as he placed her head on a more comfortable spot in his lap and then made sure that the long hair didn't fall over her face.

Since they'd entered the room, Makoto had taken the couch hostage. Now, belying her bullyish tendencies when awake, her hands were placed placidly between her cheek and the couch's arm. She was smiling in whatever dreams she had and beside her head she'd placed the small rose-shaped earrings so that they wouldn't mark her face while she slept.

Minako and Rei were sharing the sofa. Minako was laying across its whole length, happily turning this way and the other. Her hair was a mess, but asleep she didn't seem to care about the knots that were surely forming. Meanwhile, Rei was practically huddled in the far corner of the sofa. She half-awoke every time Minako moved, and as the blonde's feet buried in her side, Rei retaliated by poking the soles and dragging her nails down the smiling hearts-covered socks. Minako giggled softly or frowned, depending on how hard Rei's reaction was, but neither of them ever really woke up.

Ami was sitting on the rug, leaning towards the small center table. Her easy slumber spoke of many nights spent sleeping at her desk. Unbelievably enough, she was the only one to snore, even if so very lightly. Her head rested as comfortably as possible on her arms, face down as if she'd fallen asleep while she read her school texts, and only her blue hair was noticeable.

Michiru nodded towards Ami and frowned, admittedly a bit aggravated. "I thought that at least she would make it."

Haruka's eyebrow shot up, but as she spoke her voice wasn't loud enough to disturb the girls. "You just made them listen to your entire classical music collection. I'm amazed that they made it through Bach, Mozart and half the Ninth Symphony at all."

"They really wanted to know why you love it so much," Mamoru told the couple, now busy trying to wake up his girlfriend as smoothly as possible. "You two are always speaking of your concerts, and how beautiful they could be. The girls were curious."

Michiru smiled gently, the little annoyance on her face disappearing completely as she stood up to shake Makoto's shoulders. Haruka's expression softened, too, and she copied Michiru's actions and headed to the sofa.

"They are something else, aren't they?" Michiru said aloud as Makoto rubbed her eyes sleepily with one hand while the other went automatically to search for her earrings.

Haruka just nodded, too amused for words as Rei decided to 'tickle' her arm, eyes still closed, and Minako responded to her nudges by kicking her thigh.

Mamoru had finally gotten Usagi upright, even though she now was resting her forehead on his shoulder while she mumbled against evil Luna. "They always were," he said.

Makoto had gotten right back to sleep, and Haruka hadn't made any advances with the Poking Duo either. Decided to forgo an attempt to wake Ami up, Michiru grinned, a twinkle in her eyes as she glanced around the room. "This looks like a slumber party." The grin widened. "Don't slumber parties need a camera?"

Haruka looked a little surprised at the suggestion, but then she nodded and rushed to their room to retrieve the requested item.

Mamoru just shook his head, again. Older Senshi or not, girls were still girls.
