Musings In A Park
The wind softly blew over the park, dragging with it some leafs. The park is deserted. Haruka thought, sighing, looking at her surroundings, her mind replaying everything that had happened since she had stopped running and decided to accept her fate as Sailor Uranus, since she had met Michiru… She thought back to her life before everything and shuddered as it all seemed somehow insignificant, empty. She had been quite happy with the life she led before hence her reluctance to accept her destiny, but now, now she knew that what she felt wasn't happiness. She was just pleased, drifting in a seemingly never ending cycle of waking up, school, racing and sleeping.
The sound of a violin broke her reverie. She looked up and her breath caught in her throat. So beautiful. Standing a few feat ahead of her, her eyes closed, dress and hair billowing with the gentle breeze, face bathed in moonlight, stood Michiru. This woman, her partner in the Senshi ways, who had simply waltzed into her life, shaking and jumbling everything in it, had soon become the person she trusted the most, her best friend. She was the reason why her previous life had been empty. Everything the artist said or do, made Haruka smile or laugh or, in rare occasions, cry. Michiru was her biggest support, the one she most relied on, and, as time went by, even though she knew that it couldn't be because of everything that surrounded them, the blonde found herself in love.
She got up and slowly approached the goddess in front of her, watching transfixed as her hands stroked the instrument she played and wrung whatever sound she wanted from it, the beautiful melody making the blonde feel like she had fallen under some sort of spell. Silently, she stopped and stood in front of the violinist, waiting for her to stop playing and open her eyes. As if she sensed her presence, something that always happened, blue eyes shot open, landing right on hers. A soft smile came over the artist's lips, as her music slowly came to a halt, both her arms lowering.
"Everything alright, Ruka?" the violinist asked in a gentle tone.
Haruka did not answer, still lost in the music and her thoughts, which were swimming with the woman in front of her. Her hand slowly rose, stopping inches from touching Michiru's face, as the blonde hesitated. She was surprised as the violinist's right hand suddenly touched her own, pulling it towards her cheek as a frown appeared on her stunning features, as she repeated her question. The blonde allowed her thumb to lightly graze the soft skin, slowly nodding, as she felt her own eyes soften slightly. And then, as if someone had taken over her body, her other arm reached towards her partner and crashed her body against her own, holding her in a tight embrace.
She felt as the violinist tensed for a short moment, before relaxing and lacing her arms around her chest. Haruka breathed in Michiru's scent, as she burned the moment in her memories. Who knows when I'll be this close to her again?
They stayed there, holding each other close for a long time, and the racer was thankful the musician didn't question her strange behavior. Afterwards, when they had both gotten their things and where walking towards the racer's car, Haruka stopped in her tracks. Michiru walked a few more steps, before turning back, sending her partner a questioning look. The blonde smiled, took her keys out of her pocket and raised her head to look at the moon briefly. Looking down to her friend again, she sighed.
"You know" she spoke softly "I'm really glad I met you, Michiru."
Chuckling at the confused look that entered the violinist's eyes, the racer resumed walking. I really am, because even though now I have a somewhat crazy life, having powers and enemies to destroy, having a mission to fulfill and having to sacrifice someone for the rest of the world, I finally found someone who makes me happy and gives meaning to my life.

Ok, this particular drabble is set in the beggining of Sailor Moon S, around episode 99.
I'd like to dedicate this one to petiyaka, for reviewing and encouraging this strange idea of mine of making a collection of drabbles(I really don't know where it came from xD). Thank you very much! (hope you liked this one too)
Thanks for reading everyone and until next time,
