Notes/Summary: A very funny story involving Haruka and Mamoru having to 'sleep on the couch' on the same night.
-
First Midnight
"Endymion-sama?"
"Haruka-san?"
The king of Crystal Tokyo and queen of Uranus confront each other in one of the palace's guest rooms.
Endymion lays on one of the large pillowed beds on the floor of the room. "What are you doing here?"
"I asked you first."
"No, you didn't."
"I walked in the room and asked."
"Well, I was here first."
"So you want me to leave?"
"I just want you to answer my question."
"So you want me to stay?"
"I didn't say that."
Haruka sits on the bed perpendicular to Endymion's. "Well, I'm staying."
"Why are you here in the first place?"
"None of your concern."
"I'm the king. Everything's my concern."
"And that means what to me?"
Endymion sits up on the bed and watches as Haruka makes herself comfortable in the other. "Michiru-san kicked you out, didn't she?" he asks with a smile.
"Serenity did the same, ne?" They both sigh and nod their heads.
"How did it happen on the same night though?"
"Coincidence."
Endymion smiles. "Yeah, that's women for you."
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me."
"Well, since this palace is pretty much nothing but women, how do you expect Serenity to trust you?"
"Look who's talking."
Haruka sticks her tongue out at him.
"Now, now, don't be starting that. Save it for Michiru-san."
"Well I wasn't exactly planing to be out here with you, now was I?"
"I don't know, were you?" the king asks with a grin. Haruka throws a pillow at him. "Oh, so you want to play now?"
"You wish I wanted to play with you!"
"Well, since Usako's not giving me any tonight, I guess you'll have to do." The pillow hits Endymion so hard he doesn't have enough time to recover and grab the blonde before she retreats back to her bed. "Okay, that was completely uncalled for."
"You deserve it."
"Bitch." The dark haired man rubs his head. "Okay, so what did you get in trouble for?"
"You know what, I don't even know!" Haruka sits on her bed and hugs a pillow. "I think they do it just to make us mad."
"I think they just want to have 'girl talk.' And you know it's about us."
"No doubt if that's what they're doing."
"Maybe Usako's talking Michiru-san into me. Yeah, she'll tell her what she's been missing all these years. I bet once in bed with a man would convince Michiru-san instantly-" Mamoru was expecting the blow from the pillow, but not three times as forceful as the first one. "Shit, Haruka! If you hit me any harder you'll give your king a bloody face!"
"The only thing that's going to be bloody is your nose your majesty," the blonde says with a laugh. "And what would Serenity say if she knew you were thinking about me in such a way?"
"YOU!"
Haruka brushes a hand back through her hair. "Of course! You were thinking how great I could please a man in bed if I ever wanted to."
"Spare me! I could have more fun by myself!"
"Bet you couldn't."
Endymion helplessly stares into space in Haruka's general direction. After a minute of silence a thin trail of red liquid slowly creeps down the king's face. Hysterical laughter echoes throughout the sleeping palace.
