A Spring To Remember
So I was watching a movie with my Grammy and it inspired me to write this and the title itself came from Michiru's birthday being in March which is a Spring season(I think?) I'm not really sure what the title of the movie was but if you've seen the movie I'm sure you'll recognize the main story plot. I've added my own flares just because I'm cool like that. =]
Disclaimer: I do not own anything Sailor Moon or anything regarding the Movie (who's name I have forgotten)
Chapter One-Prolonge
"Happy Birthday Michi." She handed the girl a white rose, which she had been told represents innocence, purity, and true love. Three things that were firm bases of their relationship.
The shorter girl smiled. "Thank you Ruka. It's beautiful..." Michiru trailed off, looking down at the flower. A hand caught her chin and made her look up at the green eyes she was so in love with. Soft lips caught hers in a slow sweet kiss, and her arms automatically wrapped around the taller girl's neck. Haruka's own arms found their way about Michiru's waist and held on tight, as if she were afraid if she held her too loosely, her lover and best friend, would disappear.
Even at the tender age of 16, the two girls knew they had found something special. Something that could never be replaced or even compared to. They had found true love. The pair met at both their first classical orchestra concert at the age of 10 and soon became best friends.
Haruka was always there to beat up any of the kids who would make fun of Michiru's hair color and Michiru was always there to defend her whenever someone made a snide comment about the tomboy's fashion style. Needless to say, they were to the two best friends that anyone could tell would end up being the perfect couple. Anyone who was comfortable with them being just two girls.
After about three years of bonding, both girls soon developed strong feelings for the other, but their fear of rejection and loosing their friendship forever kept them from speaking their minds. Finally, on Michiru's fifteen birthday Haruka had the courage to write her best friend a note, pouring out her entire heart along with it. She walked over the the aquanette's house that morning and slipped the note under the balcony door that led straight to her bedroom. Not wanting to be there when Michiru read the note and scared of what the girl's reaction would be, she fled.
Deciding to take a little detour before heading home, the blonde went to the one place she always felt at ease. The beach. She took the longer route, coming from the east so that way she could get more time walking on the sandy shore. There was something about the seabreeze that could calm her frazzled nerves. Much to her surprise, when she reached her favorite spot on the beach, the rocky cliff that was about 15 feet above the surf, Michiru was there.
Slowly and a bit unsurely, Haruka made her way up to the top where he best friend was sitting; her feet hanging off the edge, swinging happily. The wind was blowing in the same direction to where Michiru was facing, making a cape of aquamarine curls that hid everything but her serene saphire eyes.
Haruka gulped unconciously as she sat next to her friend. Not a word was spoken for awhile, only the sound of waves crashing against the jetting rocks filled the air.
"Michi...ru?" She broke the silence after some time.
"I love you."
Green eyes wided. "Y-you do?"
"I have...for some time now. Ruka, I-" The aquanette turned to say something to her friend but Haruka was quick in catching her in a surprise kiss. It was the perfect first kiss. It was a bit nervous but all the feelings that were kept at bay between the two girls were suddenly released and poured into that one single kiss.
And now, exactly one year later, the couple was enjoying two things. Kaioh Michiru was turning sixteen. And Tenou Haruka was celebrating her one year anniversary with the girl she loved more than anything else in the entire world.
"C'mon Michi. We have a big day planned for us." She stood up and held her hand out to her lover.
"Oh? We're not going to the track are we?" Michiru asked, narrowing her eyes.
"Well..."
"Haruka! You know we're not allowed in there when the racers are practicing! It's private!" She scolded but let a few giggles escape.
The blonde smirked. " That never stopped us before, you know"
"Yes, but that's because I didn't know it was a closed course! We just barely made it past the guards on the way out!'
"We did it once so we can do it again." She said simply.
The smaller girl frowned. "We're not really going there, are we?" Haruka laughed and threw her arm around the girl's shoulder.
"Of course not, Love. It's you're birthday and I'm plan on making it the best. Plus, it's not everyday one gets to celebrate their one-year-anniversary with their girlfriend." Michiru blushed lightly at the wink Haruka shot at her.
"So where are we going then?" She asked, changing the subject. She couldn't bare dealing with all of Haruka's jokes when it came to her blushing.
"We, my Michi, are going to see the Philadelphia Orchestra." Michiru gasped.
"You got tickets? To the best and most renowned orchestra in the world? For tonight?"
Haruka smiled and nodded. She was pleased that she was able to make her girlfriend so happy.
"Oh my god, Ruka. Thank you!" The shorter girl jumped onto the blonde and wrapped her arms around her neck. Haruka took this chance to spin her around, both laughing happily. "This means I need a new outfit." Michiru said after the blonde set her down. She looked up at her lover. "Can you come shopping with me?" She asked shyly, knowing how Haruka hated shopping with a burning passion.
"Anything for the birthday girl" Haruka gave Michiru one of her heart melting, charming smiles, before racing ahead of the smaller girl. "Well? Hurry up! We gotta get to the mall before the rush comes in!" She called, running across the street.
Michiru was about to say something cheeky in return about Haruka stealing her excuse for getting the blonde to drive her to the mall but her attention was quickly diverted to the oncoming truck heading straight for her lover.
"Ruka! Look out!" As fast as she could, Michiru ran out and pushed her lover out of the way right before a searing pain filled her side and her world was filled with darkness.
