CHAPTER 2 : After every bad storm comes a Rainbow
The thunder was still roaring throughout the sky, lightening bolts were seen every where, and the rain was beating violently upon the outside of Usagi's Window. It was only 7:00 pm, but the sky was darker than usual; making it seem later than it actually was. The house was tranquil and quiet, yet the only sounds that were heard were the boisterous noises that were made by the storm.
Usagi and Seiya had not too long ago entered the house, and were now seated upon the couch in the living room. They were both soaked from the rain.
"Wow... This is a pretty cool place you got here Dumpling," Seiya complimented, while letting his eyes wander around the room.
"Thanks...but dont call me Dumpling! I already told you it's not okay for you to call me that!" Usagi fired back showing agitation in her voice. Even though her and Mamoru were no longer together, she still felt like he was the only one who could call her that.
Seiya was a little hurt by the sudden rudeness, but didn't allow it to crush his entire mood. If it were anyone else who had snapped at him like that, he would've quickly put them in their place. But Usagi was different from other girls; she was unique. It was just something about Usagi that made her stand out, but he couldn't put his finger on it just yet.
"Where is the rest of your family? Or are you the only one who lives here?" He noticed that they were the only two in the house.
"Well my mom, dad, and little brother went away on a family vacation," she replied, trying to sound more polite this time.
"Really? So why did you decide not to tag along with them? You probably would've had lots of fun!" Seiya acted enthusiastic to cheer her up.
"You sure ask a lot of questions, Seiya," Usagi retorted. She was starting to grow irritated. She was already in a terrible mood. The least thing she felt like doing was answering a million questions. "The reason i decided to stay here instead of going away with my family is because i planning on spending my summer vacation with Mamo-chan." Her eyes met the floor and her mood had completely changed. Just the slightest thought of Mamoru made her want to break down and cry. Suddenly, tears begin to fill her eyes.
Seiya realized the tears falling down her face and immediately came to her aid. He reached into his back pocket for a tissue, but noticed it was wet from the rain. So he ran to the kitchen and brought her back some dry napkins. He began to slowly dry the tears from her eyes.
"Usagi...what's wrong? Why are you crying?!" His eyes seemed worried and concerned. It killed him to see Usagi at her worst. He was used to seeing her cheerful and bubbly; never melancholy and miserable. He knew that something awfully terrible had to happen in order for her to behave this way. This wasn't the Usagi he once knew.
"Oh Seiya, you dont know how bad he hurt me!" She continued to sob uncontrollably. "It all started as a small argument at first, then it had escalated into something much worse. He told me that i wasn't anything important to him anymore and that I was worthless!" The tears were still pouring down her face. She stopped to catch her breath and dried her eyes with the small napkin Seiya had given her. "He said that i was good for nothing and that he never was in love with me in the first place. He told me that it was only puppy love and for me to get over it. He said that he could never fall in love with a rash crybaby, and that he was breaking up with me for a woman closer to his age: who is more prettier, smarter, and better looking than me." Usagi was more hysterical than ever. "But the worst part of all was when he kept hitting me, just because he was tired of hearing me cry. He said he was going to keep beating me until I finally stopped crying. So i forced myself to take the beating quietly so that he could stop."After saying that last statement, Seiya became incredibly furious. He was totally against a man hitting on a woman.
Seiya was stuck in a situation where he didn't know what to do. He has never been in a situation like this before. The only thing he could do was stay by Usagi's side and comfort her the whole time. "What kind of guy would do this to such a beautiful girl like Usagi?! How dare he put his hands on her! I'll make sure he'll pay for this, i swear on my life he will pay!" Seiya thought to himself.
"It's okay Usagi. You can let it all out. I'm here for you all the way, alright." Seiya assured her while putting his arms around her shoulders to embrace her. He gently placed her head on his chest, while he softly caressed her golden locks. "Dont believe anything that stupid guy said! He has to be an idiot or blind if he can not see how beautiful and special you are. Besides, I still think you're the prettiest and nicest girl i ever met, Dumpling." Seiya pulled her closer to his body, closing the gap between the two.
"His words are so soothing and calming...What is this feeling? This is strange. I suddenly feel all warm and fuzzy inside. This is the same feeling i used to get when Mamo-chan held me," Usagi briefly thought to herselfShe didnt quite understand why, but she kind of enjoyed being held in Seiya's arms like this. She felt safe and secure in his embrace.
Usagi finally managed to regain her composure. While she slightly lifted her head off of Seiya's chest, she looked up and noticed that he was staring directly into her face with those passionate dark eyes of his. Her face had completely turned red with embarrassment. Usagi quickly jumped up off of the couch and started laughing nervously while scratching the back of her head.
"Uh... I um.. th-think that it's getting k-kind of late, don't y-you th-think?" Usagi stuttered with beads of sweat rolling down her face.
It was now 10:00 in the evening, and the storm had seemed to finally clear up. Seiya realized the time, but was hesitant to leave. He enjoyed being with Usagi. He wished that he could've stayed much longer.
"Are you sure you're going to be okay by yourself tonight? Do you want me to stay and be your bodyguard incase anything happens?" Seiya thought of random excuses to be with Usagi, hoping she would let him stay.
"That's okay Seiya, I will be perfectly fine. Thanks anyway." Usagi caught on to what Seiya was trying to do. However, she did think it was awfully sweet of him to make such an offer.
Although he was feeling dejected and highly disappointed, Seiya respected her final answer. He hesitantly eased himself off of the couch and began to slowly walk near the door.
"Hey wait, aren't you forgetting something?" Usagi asked, while tapping the back of his shoulder.
A huge smile appeared on Seiya's face as he turned around with a look of excitment in his eyes. "Oh, do you mean a kiss?" he asked while puckering up his lips. "See, i knew you secretly wanted me too, Dumpling." Seiya moved his face closer to Usagi's.
Usagi became frantic. She quickly moved out of the way to dodge the kiss. "Well actually i was talking about that," she stated while pointing at his black leather jacket.
Seiya was feeling extremely foolish, which was obvious because his face was as red as a tomato. "Oh yeah...thats right... I knew you were talking about my jacket, Hehehehehe." Seiya laughed uneasily, while choking over his own words. His face was still red from embarrassment. "That's okay, i wont be needing it right now. Besides, it's not raining anymore. I guess you can hold it for now." Seiya reached for the door knob, getting ready to exit. "I'll see you around Dumpling." He winked his eye and smile at her, showing his gorgeous pearly whites.
"Thanks, once again Seiya." Usagi reached out for a small friendly hug.
"No problem, if you need me you know I'm always here." And with that last statement, Seiya gently kissed Usagi's forhead, completely throwing her off-guard. He walk away looking as cool as can be.Usagi gently closed the door behind her. Her cheeks were flushed. She looked over at Seiya's jacket and smiled contently.
Through the whole night she couldn't stop thinking about Seiya. She couldn't get her mind off of him. "This is awkward. Why am I even thinking about that guy?" Usagi questioned herself aloud. "That Seiya can really be annoying, yet sweet and kind aswell." She couldn't help but smile.
She didnt know why, but she was really looking forward to seeing Seiya again, sometime soon...REALLY soon.
