Envy

Envy was watching her best friend flirt unashamedly with a bitterness akin to that she tasted when sampling Mamoru's coffee.

Envy saw him smile at something Rei whispered in his ear; envy caught in her throat and she struggled to contain herself from jumping up and ripping her nemesis from the iron grip held on his arm and positioning herself in her rightful place.

Envy twisted her heart with jealousy as she saw Rei place a gentle kiss on Mamoru's cheek before sliding out of her stool and rejoining the Senshi at their booth.

Envy forced a smile onto her face when her friend reappeared.

Envy tempted her to pour her now melted milkshake over her friend's raven locks.

Envy swallowed down tears and the rising bile at his gentle touch on her shoulder in farewell.

Envy kept him up until the early hours of the morning with the knowledge that he would never be good enough for her.

Envy made her close to throwing herself into the temple's sacred flames, aware of the fact that the man she adored was in love with her best friend.
