Usagi sat on her bed idly twiddling her thumbs while staring down at her algebra homework. She couldn't shake the earlier encounter she had with Mamoru on her way home.

He was leaning against the wall of the crown royal arcade that Usagi adored so much, chatting happily on the phone with what Usagi assumed was a female. She made brief eye contact with him before sticking out her tongue tauntingly and entering her safety home. As she made her way to the
counter she spotted her favorite male specimen Motoki, who just so happened to be Mamoru's best friend. She slid into a stool at the bar right in front of him.

"Strawberry milkshake?" Motoki asked expectantly.

"You know me so well," Usagi beamed.

Motoki laughed as he started mixing ingredients. To Usagi's dismay Mamoru slid in the seat next to her with a slutty red head clinging to his arm. Usagi eyed the girl up and down taking note of the skimpy dark denim shorts and black crop top she wore that hardly hid the breasts popping out of her obvious push up bra.
'Mamoru has very low standards obviously' She thought.
She continued to ignore the obnoxious female that kept gushing over Mamoru and the smug male that ate up every word the stupid broad said while she happily sipped on her milkshake. She couldn't help but notice the frown Motoki would display whenever he looked at the girl obviously sharing Usagi's thoughts.
Just then was when Usagi had a moment to herself to think of a crucial prank that would soon change the dynamic of her relationship with Mamoru, forever. On impulse Usagi stood from her seat and pulled Mamoru off of his. She slapped him hard before turning to the red headed girl.

"I hope you don't mind being a single parent because that's what he'll turn you into," Usagi said rigidly before redirecting her attention to Mamoru. "Would it kill you to see Chibi-Usa once in awhile?" Usagi strained with tears in her eyes.

"I don't have a child with you!" Mamoru screeched once the shock wore off.

"She really means that little too you?" Usagi whispered with her head down before running out of the arcade to be with her imaginary daughter.

Mamoru looked at his date, "I promise I don't have a kid with that psycho," he said desperately.

The redhead shook her head, "Nothing is more disgusting than a man that takes advantage of young girls, impregnates them and abandons them!" She screamed before running off to her car.

Mamoru sighed heavily, "you're going to pay Odango, and you won't like it," he murmured. Motoki pretended to be busy after acknowledging the tense air around his best friend.

...Present...
Usagi stared at her wall wondering if she made the right choice. the end result was priceless as she hid behind an alley wall and watched the fuming redhead slam on the gas and speed off. She stayed there laughing until a fuming Mamoru exited the arcade, that was when she ran straight home. But now she sat on her bed wondering if she took it to far, although surely she did Mamoru a favor, that girl looked shady. Deciding to seek help from a friend Usagi called Minako from her cell phone.

"Moshi moshi," Minako answered.

"I think I took a prank too far," Usagi replied, jumping to the point.

"Mamoru I'm assuming?" Minako asked.

"Hai, I ruined his date by telling the girl he abandoned my child and I."

Minako burst out laughing. "Seriously? That's priceless. Did he seem that interested in the girl?" Minako inquired.

"No, she was just boosting his ego talking about how handsome he is, I got annoyed and intervened. Someone that conceited doesn't need more self confidence," Usagi replied.

Minako just laughed through the phone, "relax Usagi this will just blow over obviously this girl is just a fan of his, or was."
Usagi sighed, "I just don't want to deal with the repercussions and I don't want to avoid Motoki in the process," she admitted.

Usagi didn't hear Minakos response because her mom opened her door in a disruptive manner. "Usagi there is a handsome man downstairs asking for you, he said he was your tutor! Why didn't you tell me that I was paying for a tutor?" Her mother shrieked in a state between excitement and anger.

"I have to go Mina," Usagi said before hanging up.

"I didn't hire a tutor mom," Usagi whispered while shrinking from the wrath of motherly anger.

"Get downstairs Usagi," she sighed in exasperation before heading down to finish dinner.

Usagi frowned deeply, Mamoru was acting ruthless to pull a stunt like this. Deciding to catch him off guard and plan a comeback Usagi decided to change out of her high school uniform. She was 17 now and her body accepted the changes of time gracefully. She stayed slim and developed curves. Usagi was well aware of her sexual appeal and knew she could distract him without her parents catching on, she could make him want to back out on his own.
She mischievously rummaged through her closet and decided on the best outfit to distract a man. Usagi put on her all black Victoria Secrets yoga pants that showed off her butt and hips and a black loose tank top with a giant daisy printed on it. It hugged her breast but flowed over her stomach giving her the appeal of nice boob's and a thin waist. Finally she decided to let her gorgeous hair down from the infamous buns. It was something she always knew would capture Mamoru's attention.
Looking at her floor length hair from her vanity mirror, Usagi decided to throw it into a high ponytail at the last minute.
12 minutes later, she headed down the stairs only to be taken by surprise when she rounded into the living room.
Usagi felt her breath catch in her throat at the sight of the blonde hair, green eyed man candy sitting on the couch.

"Motoki? Usagi asked by surprise.

He grinned, "hey Usagi. I know this is unexpected but I assumed you needed a break from Mamoru, so if you'll let me I can tutor you and make you free milkshakes at my place after school for awhile," Motoki explained leaving out his ulterior motives. Usagi smiled widely before bouncing over to Motoki and wrapping her arms around his waist.

"You're so good to me," she laughed.

"So is that a yes?" He whispered into her ear hotly.

Usagi blushed. "Of course it's a yes," she whispered back while subconsciously pushing her body further into his while she leaned closer to his ear.

Motoki pulled away and smiled, "Why don't you get your schoolbooks and tell your mom that you'll be at my place tonight, I'll buy you dinner," he told Usagi sternly.
Usagi just nodded before heading for the kitchen to explain to her mom that she would be out studying for the night. Her mother took it rather well. All she said was to leave before her dad saw her handsome tutor and to text her if she was going to be home late. So with that Usagi grabbed a black zip up hoodie, her bookbag and her handbag before meeting Motoki downstairs.

"Well let's get going," Usagi exclaimed while ushering Motoki to his car.
Once they entered Motoki's apartment Usagi settled on the couch.

"So you know, I really don't need a tutor my grades have gone up dramatically now that the pressures on," Usagi said while willfully avoiding the idea of doing any actual schoolwork.

Motoki laughed from the kitchen bar that separated it from the living room.
"I know Usagi, I just wanted to spend more time with you," Motoki said in a flirtatious tone.

Usagi blushed profusely at Motoki's declaration.

"Oh I'm out of strawberries would you mind going to the store with me?" Motoki questioned.

"Oh, sure," Usagi replied while grabbing her purse.

Once they reached the store a whole new window of opportunities opened and Motoki watched in dismay as a simple trip for strawberries turned into a shopping excursion. Usagi mindlessly threw random snacks and beverages in the cart.

"I think I'll start shopping before I pick you up in the future," Motoki joked.
It wasn't until they reached produce that Usagi stopped in her tracks. The one other person in the department, who just so happened to be eyeing strawberries was Mamoru.

"Oh shit," Usagi inaudibly whispered.

"Oh hey Motoki..." Mamoru exclaimed before trailing off clearly noticing the beautiful blonde he was with. "Where's your Odangos, odango?" Mamoru asked suspiciously. Usagi looked breathtaking without them.

"Not really your business jerk," Usagi replied flustered. He was the last person she wanted to run into. She grabbed a random box of strawberries, "I'm going to go pay Motoki," she said before walking away with her grocery cart.

"Why are you hanging out with her Motoki?" Mamoru asked skeptically.

"I'm helping her with her schooling," Motoki shrugged.

"With what, how to be a heffer 101?" Mamoru asked, "you and I both know Usako is in the top 10% of her class, Mizuno gloats on it whenever they're studying at the crown," Mamoru supplied while subtly adding the endearment to her name. He wouldn't admit it out loud but Usagi was the only one to brighten his days.

Motoki just stared at Usagi as she chatted up the cashier, who happened to be her friend Naru from school.
"I may have other intentions," Motoki murmured.

"What would those intentions be?" Mamoru questioned.

"Well I'm over Reika and Usagi is so down to earth, and gorgeous. I want to date her," Motoki answered honestly.

He was well aware of Mamoru's huge crush on the high schooler but he also found himself lusting after the klutzy princess. Motoki also knew he had a better chance at winning over the blonde but he wouldn't deny the jealousy written on Usagi's face earlier that evening when she ruined Mamoru's date. Motoki knew that if he wanted a shot he would have to act quickly, before Usagi was honest with her feelings for Mamoru. Besides it's easier to get over something you've never had, Motoki mused to himself.
When Motoki refocused his attention to Mamoru he noticed the disdain written across his face.

"Well I better get going," Motoki exclaimed before walking away from the tension Mamoru once again emitted.
Mamoru was hot on his heel though before bee lining to Usagi.

"Don't think I forgot about your little stunt earlier. I'm going to strike back ten fold," Mamoru whispered in her ear before he walked back to the produce department.
Usagi felt shock waves run down her spine from having Mamoru so close.

"Let's get out of here Motoki," she muttered.
Once they arrived back at the apartment Usagi bundled up on the couch with a black comforter and a large display of snack food. Trying desperately to forget about Mamoru. Although Usagi wouldn't admit it, she was deathly afraid of what he would do in retaliation.

Motoki took the seat next to her while offering her the finished product of her milkshake, one that he decided to make extra tasty. He didn't use fresh strawberries at the arcade, just strawberry ice cream.

Usagi sipped it and sighed, "this taste better than usual!" She exclaimed.

Motoki laughed and cuddled under the blanket next to her. "I have better ingredients here," he replied smoothly.

"Well you've been holding out on me. Man if you teamed up with Makoto and made me dinner I would be in heaven," Usagi giggled. Motoki smiled.

"Up for a movie?" Motoki asked.

"What did you have in mind," Usagi questioned.

"Well I have a pretty nice collection you can look through and there is always Netflix," Motoki answered.

Usagi smiled and grabbed the play station 4 controller before continuing her exploration of Netflix movies. After much searching she decided on What About Bob, she was a huge Bill Murray fan.
Once the movie started playing a boisterous knock on the door enveloped the room.
Motoki sighed and answered it.

To Usagi's dismay Mamoru stood against the door frame with a wide smirk on his handsome and tan face.
Before Motoki could protest, Mamoru sauntered into the living room and plopped on the couch to Usagi's left. He was extremely close to Usagi, he could feel her thigh touching his hip.

"What are you doing here Mamoru?" Motoki asked through gritted teeth. He couldn't hide his discontentment with the current predicament.

"Well I had nothing better to do so I decided to come over," Mamoru replied while flashing Usagi a mischievous smirk.

Motoki sighed, "well played," he mumbled inaudibly.

"Well just keep your mouth shut, nobody interrupts Bill Murray," Usagi replied giving Mamoru an evil eye.

"Wouldn't dream of it," Mamoru replied while stretching his limbs until his leg overlapped Usagi's thigh.

Usagi scooted away until she found herself halfway on Motoki's lap. To her astonishment when she tried to move over Motoki wrapped his arms around her torso, earning a glare from Mamoru.

Usagi blushed when she noticed the glare from Mamoru. He couldn't possibly be jealous, right?
Deciding to be the mischievous little Angel she was Usagi sat on Motoki's lap while leaning her back against the arm rest. She then decided to resume her place under the covers and covered herself and Motoki, to Mamoru's dismay.
Usagi then decided to focus all her attention to Bill Murray's baby steps.
About 20 minutes into the movie another knock on the door became apparent. Mamoru smirked and opened the door widely revealing the pizza delivery man with two big boxes of pizza.
Mamoru paid him and surprisingly gave the delivery boy a $100 tip. He was very thankful for the new distraction. He knew food would make Usagi get off the competition's lap. As the pizza delivery boy skipped out of the door way in glee Mamoru mischievously turned around.

"Are you two up for some pizza?" He asked wickedly.

Motoki frowned, "I'm fine,"he replied hoping Usagi would follow his example.

Unfortunately she didn't. "What kind of pizza?" She asked skeptically.

"Extra cheese and veggie lovers," he replied.

Usagi gulped, there was no way Mamoru could've known that those were her favorite.

Mamoru walked around the kitchen bar and placed them on the stove. He pulled out a plate and placed one of each on it. He really took a gamble with the flavors, unsure of Usagi's preference he purchased his desired pizzas.

Usagi watched him as he came back to the couch taking a bite out of the veggie lovers. Her mouth started to water in anticipation.
Mamoru noticed Usagi licking her lips and decided to play out a little torment. He took a bite from his pizza before putting the same slice up to her lips. Usagi chewed on her bottom lip while eyeing the ever close prize. Unable to control herself she leaned closer and took a small bite while making eye contact with a smirking Mamoru.
Motoki glared at Mamoru from behind Usagi's head before instinctively pulling her against his chest. He wouldn't let her stray too far. Still holding his smirk Mamoru put the slice up to Usagi's lips once more while scooting closer to her. To his dismay Usagi broke out of her hunger induced trance.

"I'm capable of feeding myself Baka," Usagi said sternly before getting up and walking to the kitchen to help herself.
Mamoru decided to take this chance and sit in the middle of the couch. Next to Motoki leaving one empty spot to his left for Usagi.

"What are you doing Mamoru," Motoki whispered.

"I'm not letting you have her," Mamoru whispered back.

"Why is that?" Motoki smirked.

"Because I want her," Mamoru replied simply.

"Well then, this is war," Motoki exclaimed rather loudly.
"What's war?" Usagi asked as she returned to the living room with both boxes of pizza. She spent ample time deciding on how many slices she wanted to devour before she came to the conclusion that she wanted all of it.

"War is fighting for that pizza before you eat it all," Mamoru answered before grabbing both boxes from her.
