Usagi looked nervously at her computer screen. Her heart pounding in her ears and her hands shaking as her fingers slid over the mouse pad to open the message.

After all this time, he messages me now, what could he want? Did he finish his service and needs a place to stay? No, it hasn't been that long. Maybe he's hurt and this is the only way he can get help. That couldn't be either, he has a whole unit for that and of all people, why would he pick me?

Without asking herself another question, Usagi stopped delaying and read the message. 'Dear You, its been a while.'

Usagi calmed down once she read the message, she overreacted like always. He's still online, maybe I should reply, I am on my break.

"Hi there, its been forever! How have you been?" Usagi typed the message and clicked the send button.

Not a second later, Mamoru replied. "I've been good, I joined the army."

"I heard, Rei told me. How is it?" Usagi continued the conversation.

"Horrible!"

"Why? I mean I can't imagine it being fun, but why?"

"They treat you like dirt. Actually that's a compliment."

"Yikes, so it's not like call of duty?"

"That's funny, but no, it's nothing like that."

"I'm so sorry. I would've snapped long time ago."

"I get by. Its boring here, but I take a run with friends or something."

"At least you have friends and things to do, right?"

"Yeah, so how is everything?"

"Great, I'm finishing up my semester in college now and things have gone well."

"That's good to hear"

They continued talking nonsense as if a gap of five years never existed. Usagi liked how mellow and funny Mamoru was, he wasn't like most guys.

"I'm coming back in about a week, maybe I can go visit you."

Usagi's heart dropped at reading this, but managed to answer. "That would be great! I moved in with my boyfriend after high school, but you can come by, and I'll make you a welcome back party."

"Aww thanks, I would really appreciate that. I'm hoping to leave in about ten days."

"I'll start planning then," Usagi looked at the clock, they've talked for an hour and a half. She finally decided it was time to study again, "I'll talk you again soon, I have a major test tomorrow and I have to get back to studying."

"Ok, good luck on the test," with that he signed off.

Hours passed since the conversation Usagi had with Mamoru, but the thought of it still lingered.

"Stupid Usagi, you have to study!" She reprimanded herself.

Why did she still think of the conversation? She hasn't spoken t guy since she was fifteen, plus it wasn't like they lit a burning flame, they just had a normal talk. She did miss though, and the day Rei told her he left to the army she spent hours crying. Mamoru held a special place in Usagi's heart, they were really close and Usagi even developed feelings for him, but he never noticed her that way, they both came from different worlds. She was lost in a sea of memories of when her a Mamoru were young, until it the sound of the door opening broke her thoughts.

"Seiya?" Usagi yelled out.

"Yes Odango." Seiya replied

"How did it go? Tell me!' Usagi said excitedly, jumping up and down.

"Calm down," Seiya said grabbing his girlfriends shoulders, "it was great, they liked us so much they want to book us again!"

"Oh darling, that's great!' Usagi squealed and gave him a big hug.

"Have you been hitting the book?'

"Yeah, I only stopped to get a snack because my stomach was having an orchestra," Usagi replied leaving out the conversation she had with Mamoru.

"My little worker,"he said kissing the top of her head, "you're going to ace that test."

"I really hope so."

The next morning Usagi woke up and did her normal routine. Get out of bed, head to the bathroom, brush her teeth then pick out her outfit and fix her hair in the usual odangos and pigtails. She kissed Seiya goodbye, made some coffee for breakfast and went out the door to drive to college.

Usagi parked her car and headed to humanities class. Surprisingly enough, her studying paid off. She got an 92% despite the fact that most of her study time was consumed by food and Mamoru. She couldn't wait to tell Seiya she passed.

"Hello?' Seiya answered the phone.

"I passed!' Usagi exclaimed on the other line.

"Congrats love, I'm so proud of you."

Usagi blushed on the other side of the phone. Seiya always appreciated her and was grateful for everything she did. He made her feel so special, it warmed her heart every time he complimented her or did something no one else would bother to do for her. He was the dream boyfriend and she hit the jackpot with him. She couldn't wait for him to pop the question, in a heart beat she would say 'yes'.

"Let's go out and celebrate your success, pick any place you want Usagi, you deserve it."

"No, I can't do that," Usagi said humbly, "I'm not done with my tests yet, and in don't want you going through that trouble."

"Well lets celebrate your success on this test and when you pass your other tests we'll celebrate as well," Seiya insisted, "and it's no trouble at all, we can go anywhere you like, you know that."

"Seiya, I...fine," Usagi gave in,"What time do you want to go?."

"I'll meet you at the restaurant after work," he said victoriously, 'I'm looking forward to it, I have to get back to work, I love you."

"I love you, too." Usagi hung up the phone and continued to her English class.

After class, Usagi felt she needed to pamper herself for tonight. It was Friday, she passed her humanities test, earned an extra twenty points for her English exam, and was going to a fancy restaurant with her boyfriend.

Usagi came home after her full grooming at the salon. She picked put a pretty shade of light pink nail polish, cut off her dead ends, and felt like a million bucks. With three hours until she had to meet Seiya at the restaurant, Usagi took a shower, picked out a white lace dress with brown pumps, and put on some natural make looking make up. It was time to start leaving, she grabbed her black clutch and walked out the door.

Seiya was ready waiting for Usagi at a booth in the restaurant. He was still wearing his suit from work, but looked exceptional nonetheless.

"Hey," Usagi said walking into the restaurant, "sorry, I didn't know traffic was going to be that bad."

"It's fine," he said gazing upon her radiance, "I think you're the cause of so much traffic."

Usagi blushed.

"You look beautiful," he complimented.

"You don't look half bad yourself Mr. CEO."

That's right, Seiya was a CEO. He inherited the place in his family's company after he turned eighteen. Seems like a dream. An eighteen year old inheriting one of the biggest corporation in the world and having a side band for fun. That's why he never cared to get help from Minako, he didn't need it. He didn't want to be famous, he liked working in the family business and enjoyed having his passion on the side. It was the same for Yaten and Taiki, they're in the same boat. All three of their fathers own the company and only plan on giving the positions to their sons.

"Are you enjoying the food?' Seiya asked.

"It's delicious," Usagi muffled chewing the food in her mouth, "I'm sorry, that was I'll mannered of me."

"Don't worry, I like the way you are."

Usagi couldn't help but smile.

"Odango," Seiya started and Usagi gazed up at him, "we've been together for a long time now, and I've never felt this way about anyone," Usagi's heart was about to break out of her chest, could this be the moment, "and well, I'm just going to say it, Tsukino Usagi, well you do me the honor and marry me?"

"Of course Seiya, yes, yes, yes," Usagi let out joyful tears and accepted the beautifully cut diamond surrounded by other incrusted diamonds.

The newly engaged couple kissed passionately and continued their night.
