All in the Now
by SMYGO4EVA

Ami never ceased to amaze Makoto. No matter how long they had known each other, there was always something that caught her interest. Whether it was in battle or living every day, Makoto always made sure to look after Ami, even though she knew that the soldier of Mercury could take care of herself. She couldn't help it, really.

As they sat next to the doorway, watching the snow fall outside, Makoto placed a hand on Ami's shoulder. Ami soon repeated that same action to her; it was a comforting thing, reassuring even. Ami knew that Makoto was looking out for her, she knew that all too well. They stood by each other through thick and thin, and there was no changing that.

Makoto leaned closer to Ami; she closed the distance between them, gently kissing her. Ami's lips were always soft, and just as sweet once Ami returned the kiss. Such a small yet meaningful gesture was that they needed for this moment, all in the now.
