Hiya! This is not my first attempt at creating fanfiction,
just the first time posting it. I have thought up many stories but never put
them on paper so to speak. This is a fanfic about Motoki and Makoto but there
are no sexual scenes or anything like that. I would like to know what you like
of my writing so please e-mail me your comments at
MotokiKoibito@moonkingdom.com. Thanks, I hope you enjoy my story.
Motoki's Prayer
The rain came down gently, only
dampening her face which was already wet with tears. Once again her heart was
shattered by another whom she thought loved her. Makoto wondered why it was
always had to be her, she was always the one who was deserted, why was she the
one to crumble? Suddenly, she couldn't feel the rain drop lightly on her head
and she looked up to see a shadow holding an umbrella above her. As she peered
closer to see who this kind stranger was, she realized that it was her close
friend Motoki who was sheltering her
from the rain.
"Hey, are you
alright?," Motoki asked. Makoto dried her eyes and said that she was fine. "If
you're fine then why are you crying?" asked Motoki politely.
And at that
Makoto began to wail, telling Motoki the whole story of another broken heart.
After listening with his sympathetic ear, he sweetly said;
"Makoto, do you
know how long it takes for some people to find their soul mate? I know yours is
out there, if you just give it some time, I mean why would a guy not want you,
you're beautiful, smart, athletic, funny, and the sweetest girl I know."
And for a moment
they just sat there and gazed into each others eyes and they leaned closer to
embrace in a sentimental kiss but suddenly Motoki pulled away and whispered;
"Think about what
I said but I…um…have to be going, see
you." Motoki stuttered. Makoto watched him run off and said softly to herself: "God
grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change
the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." And with that she
rose up and began to walk home. The next morning, Makoto awakened to the incessant
ringing of her phone. She finally
picked the receiver.
"Hello?," Makoto
moaned as she tried to open her eyes.
"Good morning!,"
said a very cheerful voice.
"Minako? It's 8:30, what are you doing up?"
said the very surprised Makoto.
"Well, you weren't
home all last night and I wanted to know why and who you were with?," replied
Minako in a very sly tone.
"It's too early
to go into detail!," said Makoto who was every
eager to get off the phone.
"Well, just give
me the gist of it…I need to know!," the eccentric Minako screamed.
"Fine…you
remember Yamato, right? Well, he dumped me around 6:00 last night, so since I'm
such a baby I started crying in front of the restaurant where we had our first
date. Then, Motoki saw me and he tried to make feel better…AND he almost kissed
me but at the last minute, he pulled away so I went home because I felt a
little better by the fact that I was
getting close to a new guy. Okay? Happy? I told you the whole story so bye,
Minako!" Makoto said in a rush.
"What?! Motoki
almost kissed you? What did he say before that? Why'd he pull away? What did
you do? I want the details!" said the shocked Minako who was still asking
questions.
"GOODBYE, Minako!"
said Makoto hanging up the phone. But of course Minako needed to know more so
she kept calling until finally Makoto unplugged the phone. Makoto got ready to
go back to sleep when she heard a knock on the door. Makoto got up and answered the door.
"Andrew? What are
you doing here?" Makoto asked who was still tired from crying a bed of tears
all night long.
"I just wanted to
make sure that you weren't still depressed and to apologize for running….err….away
last night….because I forgot to take care of something at home." Motoki who was
obviously lying, answered. Motoki was often speechless in her presence, she was
lovelier then a rose. And to him the sweetest creation known to man. 'But what
can I do?' Motoki thought to himself. 'I have a girlfriend, Reika, but she's
always away but Makoto's so young!'- At that moment he was cut off in thought
by Makoto who was just comprehending the fact that Motoki was at her doorstep,
apologizing for running away, which had never happened to her before. Makoto soon
regained her consciousness and finally replied to Motoki's question:
"Oh, don't worry
about it, you cheered me up, anyway!," Makoto commented, thinking about how
caring Motoki is for coming all the way down here to apologize. She invited
Motoki in for breakfast and he talked to her while she cooked. Makoto never
more wanted to be with anyone but Motoki, he was so handsome and smart, and the
fact that he was older and more mature made Makoto feel like a relationship
with him could be something everlasting. All of a sudden, Minako burst through
the door exclaiming:
"Makoto, now tell
me what happened with you and…Oh, hello, Motoki, surprising seeing you here!"
Minako said, winking at Makoto.
"Hi, Minako will
you be joining us for breakfast?," Makoto asked in a tone that meant she wanted
to be left alone.
"Oh…um…no, I'll
just leave you two alone!," Minako replied catching the hint and as she headed
out the door, Minako whispered: "You have to call me, later to fill me in!" to
Makoto and then she skipped out the door.
"What was that
about?," asked the very confused Motoki.
"Who knows?,"
giggled Makoto. There was a long pause while Makoto and Motoki ate breakfast,
everything about him being there felt so natural to Makoto. The silence was
soon broken by the sound of Motoki's cellular phone ringing. Motoki smiled and
answered the call:
"Hello?…Oh, hi
Reika, sweetie…Yeah, I'm at a friends house…Of course I miss you…Oh, really you're
coming to town for a few days…Great, love you too…See you, bye! That was all
Makoto heard but that was enough and as Motoki hung up the phone, Makoto shed a
tear down her cheek. She will always be thought of as a friend and Motoki would
probably always love Reika. It was time to face reality.
"So, is your
girlfriend coming to visit you?," Makoto asked in a very curious voice.
"Yeah, she'll be
staying at my place for awhile," replied Motoki.
"Oh, that's
nice, she must mean a lot to you then?," Makoto asked hoping to get more
information.
"Yeah, I guess,"
Motoki said like it was no big deal. "Well, I hate to eat and run but Reika
hates it when my apartment's messy so I should probably be going," replied
Motoki.
"I could help
you clean, I'm really good at that," offered Makoto.
"You've already
done so much, you don't have to help me," said Motoki.
"Hey, I don't
mind, I insist," replied Makoto, "Just let me grab a few things and your
apartment will be spotless in no time!"
"If you really
want to," said Motoki. On their way out the door, Motoki made a prayer to
himself: 'God, please don't let Makoto think that Reika is the light that fills
my head and brightens my heart. Reika may be great but is not near as outrageous
but at the same time as home loving as Makoto. There is no comparison between
the two. Please make Makoto know that she is the one I love and that I pray
everyday that she feels the same way. And I don't want to hurt Reika but I just
can't help the way I feel. Amen!'
Motoki and
Makoto drove to Motoki's apartment, which was only a few miles away. Makoto
started unpacking her cleaning supplies as Motoki began organizing his room.
Makoto called to Motoki, who was in the other room:
"Hey, Motoki,
could you help me tie this cleaning apron?," Makoto asked hopefully.
"Sure!," Motoki
said blushing. Motoki leaned over to tie the bow and Makoto tilted her head to
look at him. Motoki began to blush even more, Makoto turned around as Motoki
began to pull her closer. Makoto's lips quivered as Motoki began to gently kiss
her. After a few minutes, they both heard the sound of luggage dropping on the
floor…
"Reika?!" yelled
the shocked Motoki.
"What's going on
here, Motoki?," asked the very upset Reika.
"I should be
going," interrupted Makoto, as she sprang for the door. Makoto ran home,
leaving Reika and Motoki alone to argue in Motoki's apartment. When Makoto
arrived home, she was greeted by four other teenage girls who also just
happened to be sailor senshi.
"So, what
happened?," yelled Usagi.
"Where's
Motoki?," asked Minako.
"What did you
two do?," asked Rei.
"Even I'm a bit
curious," announced Ami.
"None of your
business, but if you must know then come on in," said Makoto in an angered
tone. Makoto was about half way through the story when someone knocked on the
door and Usagi ran to answer it.
"Usagi?," said
Motoki, rather confused, "Is Makoto home?"
"Yes…hold on,"
Usagi replied, "Makoto, guess who it is!" Makoto went to the door and began
talking to Motoki.
"I just wanted
to say…you know…about what happened," stuttered Motoki.
"Oh, I know, you
don't have to say anything, I was just some meaningless fling!," replied Makoto
who was very upset, " Admit it, you used me!"
"No, quit
yelling at me! If you knew anything you wouldn't be talking!," yelled Motoki.
"Oh, so now you're
calling me stupid!," wailed Makoto.
"No, but you obviously
don't know me!," Motoki wailed back.
"You forgot
about me the minute Reika walked through that door!," Makoto screamed not
realizing that her friends were still there.
"That's not
true, I broke up with Reika to be with you!," said Motoki realizing that he just admitted his true feelings.
"Yeah, well…what?!,"
Makoto asked gathering her thoughts.
"I love you more
than anything in the world but I never could admit until now, you've changed my
life and brightened my heart. And, I'm sorry that I never realized it," blurted
out Motoki. At that moment Makoto began to cry.
"You know what? I
love you too and I care more about you then any of my old boyfriends. This
could be forever because I'm with my true love and I'll let you go!," Makoto
dashed through every emotional part of speech she ever heard to come up with an
equally expressive and sentimental speech. They both embraced each other and
stated to share a passionate and deep kiss. Makoto's four friends all watched
with happy grins on their faces, they were all happy that Makoto finally found
someone to call true love! As Motoki stopped kissing Makoto, one thought raced
through his mind: Thank you, God for giving me this Angel, may our love grow
for eternity. As for Makoto, the same thought passed through her mind. And for
that moment, they were one and Makoto's and Motoki's destiny became very clear!
The beautiful sound of wedding bells played four years later and the moment was never erased.
The End
