Caramel Kisses

Staring into his daily cup of coffee, Mamoru's mind was far from reality. In fact all of him was far from reality. It was as if he were sleepwalking. He remained there, staring into that black liquid as if it would tell him some unknown answer to the unspoken problem.

Meanwhile, Motoki was truly worried. When Mamoru walked in, that was the most movement he made the entire day. Motoki wondered if the man had even blinked today.

The coffee, which Motoki had given Mamoru early in the morning, was as cold as the milkshakes he usually served. In fact, Mamoru hadn't even order the coffee. Motoki had given it to him out of a daily habit.

'Maybe Usagi will break him out of this.' Motoki wondered as he looked at the clock. It was 3:45, only 15 more minutes till Usagi arrived.

Usagi and Mamoru's fights were now widely known and many people would show up just to watch them engage in there daily battles as if it were a television show. Between the inventive name-calling and the spectacular pranks, it seemed as if their fights were delibrate and meant to sell. Motoki didn't mind it though, it helped the business grow. Not to mention he could tell it helped Mamoru.

From the first time Motoki met Mamoru, there was a shadow of loneliness in his eyes that seemed to be permanent. No matter what Motoki did, Mamoru's eyes still spoke the sad truth of the emptiness in his heart. Never changing, the same hidden shadow always remained. Well, until Usagi came.

When Usagi first hit Mamoru in the head with her pathetic quiz outside of the Aracade, Motoki watched though the window with light humor. Little Usagi was at it again, but he never expected Mamoru to respond to the little spitfire. He should have known that Usagi would be the one to cause a change. She just had that way with people.

When Mamoru walked into the Arcade after there "introduction", Motoki was floored. The normally cool, sophisticated Mamoru was now wearing a happy little smirk, and walking with a small bounce in his step. FThat was the first time Motoki saw the shadow gone.

Not to long afterwards, Mamoru made it a daily routine to appear at the Arcade in the afternoons. Normally the annoying noise of the crowds and video games kept Mamoru away, but after Usagi it seemed to no longer affect him.

It was after Usagi's and Mamoru's fifth spat, that Motoki noticed Mamoru humming a happy little tune. Mamoru never hummed. In fact, in all the years Motoki knew Mamoru, he never even tolerated a girl this long (besides Rika and a selected few). It was then Motoki knew of Mamoru's feelings toward Usagi. Even if Mamoru didn't know himself, Motoki did and that's why he let them keep fighting.

'Today would be 3 months since there first encounter.' Motoki thought as he stared worriedly at his friend. He feared that maybe the emptiness was returning. 'Surely Usagi will be able to help.' Motoki glanced at the clock again. 'Only 10 more minutes. Please hurry, Usagi.'


So, How's it so far? I don't intend for it to be a long story. It's just going to be a fluff-filled flick hopefully.
