Disclaimer: I only wished that I owned Sailor Moon...but sadly I don't...(starts sobbing...'Why is the world so unfair?')

A/N: Despite being Sailor Moon, this is a yaoi! (So if offended, DON'T READ IT!) It takes place in the 30th century and is told from Helios' POV and sometimes it will be from an outside view. Occasionally there will be a break where we get a look at Chibi-Usa's diary. (Sorry if anyone is a little OOC!) Please R &R!

Chapter 1: Budding Love

There he was, watching the roses, as always.

He loved, and still does, to just sit there on the bench in the garden and watch them, just to look at them and watch them glitter from the morning dew.

I had longed for a while now to go over and sit with him, to lay my head on his shoulder and hold his hand. To kiss him...

But I couldn't because he was married. His ear length black hair moved as he turned his head and looked at me. He motioned for me to come over. I felt a slight blush cross my cheeks.

I walked over and sat down next to him wondering why he called me over.

"Helios…" I blushed even more as he said my name in his deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty?" I felt my heart nearly skip a beat as I answered.

"What are your feelings towards me?" he asked gently still looking at the rose.

"Why do you ask?" I asked nervously. If anyone knew, I would lose my place as guardian of the Golden Crystal, which meant I wouldn't able to see him anymore.

"Some mornings, I sit here and wish I could give your pretty face a kiss."

I felt my face turn red. Had he really said that?

"I know the feeling, Your Majesty." Did I just say that? I felt my heart begin to quicken and my face was still flushed.

A small touch on my hand brought me out of my thoughts. He was holding my hand.

Wait, he was holding it? Had the last few moments really happened?

Yes, he was really holding my hand. Meaning they had happened.

We sat for only a few minutes, but it seemed like hours, holding each others hand. I turned to look at him. Should I say something?

Before I could though he leaned and his lips brushed mine for only a moment, letting the feeling sink in.

My face, which had returned to normal, flushed against the gently touch of those luscious lips.

He stood up, letting go my hand (unfortunately) and stood up.

"I love you." he whispered just loud enough for me to hear, and my heart skipped a beat.

I stood up and he turned around. "I love you, too." I told him feeling my heart quicken yet again. I couldn't believe what was happening.

Within minutes, I had gone from shy and watching to the King's lover.

The King's lover…what was I doing? He was married and had a daughter!

How could I let him do this? I had served him since he was the prince of the earth. How could I cheat with him on Queen Serenity?

How could I do that to Small Lady (or Chibi-Usa as you know her)? She had loved me since I met her in the 20th century. Queen Serenity and King Endymion already have told me that I am to marry her when she comes of age.

So how could I step away from her and love her father? Then again…

How could he do the same to the Queen?

How could he do this to her, even after all he and the Queen have been through together?

All I know is that he told me he loved me and knew I felt the same.

All we had to do now was keep our love a secret and make sure that no one saw us kiss a moment ago.

We kissed a moment ago…

As I said it to myself, I remembered the warmth on my lips and as my fingers went to my mouth I felt my face flush slightly (yet again.)

When I felt that flush, I knew that even if I hurt others and lost my job, I had to keep this love…at least long enough to enjoy it…
