Something for Rei
Summary: I saw her sweeping the grounds. It was as if she forgot what day it was. Minako's P.O.V.
Disclaimer: I do not Sailor Moon.
I walked down the street with a sigh. I didn't know what to get for Rei. It was going to be a special day tomorrow and I didn't know what to do. Rei and I have been together for only a few months, but she still doesn't open up to me. It's like we're still friends who kiss every on now and then. I know almost nothing about her. That's what made this so difficult. I decided to go back to the jinja. Surely Rei knew what she wanted.

"I don't want anything," Rei stated. My jaw dropped. "But…" Rei silenced me quickly. "But nothing. I don't want anything and that's that." I crossed my arms with a pout. I wasn't giving up on this. Rei sighed and embraced me. "You're all I want, Minako," she whispered in my ear. "Therefore, I don't want anything else." She kissed me gently. I gladly returned it. After a few moments, we pulled away. She gave me a smile that only I have ever seen. We whispered things of love and affection until I had to leave. I opened the door when I saw a notebook on Rei's desk. It was open. I read it quickly. That's when I knew exactly what to get.

I walked up the steps of the jinja with my surprise behind my back. It wasn't much, but it was something. When I got to the top, I saw her sweeping the grounds. It was as if she forgot what day it was. Her expression was unreadable. It made me wonder if Rei would like my surprise or not. I gulped and walked toward her. I pulled out a bouquet of flowers. Not just any flowers. Casablanca lilies. Rei blinked as she took them. "Happy Birthday, Rei," I smiled. She looked up at me. "I said I didn't want anything." I shook my head. "You should know by now that I don't listen to what you say half the time," I sighed with a shrug. "Besides, I wanted to get you something." Rei laughed as she embraced me. "I love you." I kissed her forehead. "I love you, too."
