Author's Note: I broke up this chapter into two parts. The first is Usagi's POV. It was very vital to the chapter and the story itself and I didn't want to exclude it. I thought about putting in Mamoru's POV but decided against it because this story is based on Usagi's feelings. The second part of the chapter is the narrative and is told in third person. We get to see a little bit of Mamoru's point of view in third person. Enjoy :).


Usagi

" You forgot to kiss me goodbye, so unlike you... " I could feel his fingers brush my chin up to meet his inquisitive eyes.

His deep dark blue orbs met my cerulean ones and I felt trapped by his gaze. I could feel my heart beating wildly and my cheeks heat up and flush crimson.

Of course Mamo-chan can always tell what I'm really thinking. The tears that threatened to spill finally did, it streamed down my face on display for him.

Not wanting him to see my despair I quickly rose up and pressed my lips against his for the goodbye kiss. He seemed surprised but instinctively wrapped his arms around me and pulled me a little closer.

His lips were soft and tasted of the black coffee he drank earlier today. His scent was drawing me in, he smelled like roses, a comforting warm feeling that I know all too well. The kiss was euphoric, it always is. His lips moved against mine tenderly yet we rarely ever used tongue. I was about to try to change that today though. Usually our kisses only lasted a few minutes at most, maybe today we can make it longer.

As we were about to break apart, I shyly licked his bottom lip and tried to slip my tongue in. It worked and I tried to deepen the kiss willing for his tongue to move against mine...


Mamoru froze as he felt her move her tongue against his. She deepened the kiss and he was responding, secretly enjoying the way her tongue moved against his, igniting a fire in him that lay dormant for so long. Without realizing, his left hand held on to her waist as his right hand made its way to her golden locks and angled her head for better access. The kiss grew heated and they both started seeing stars as the minutes passed. Their mouths moved together in perfect unison. It felt amazing and neither of them wanted it to stop. She whimpered and moaned into the kiss, her hands now on his chest grabbing fistfuls of his shirt. As he heard those sounds she was making, he quickly became anxious at what they were doing. The spell broke and logic and rational thought came to his senses. As much as he hated doing so, he gently pushed her back. They were both breathing for air and his eyes were slightly glazed in hidden lust staring down at her. Her sensual pink lips were parted and slightly swollen, wide cerulean blue eyes looking up at him in confusion. Did she do something wrong?

" We should stop, it's getting late, and your parents might worry. ", he breathed out.

Confusion and hurt made its way to her features as she slowly backed away from him.

"I'm sorry , I shouldn't have done that. " Before he could respond she turns away and runs into her house, ashamed that she let it get that far, she somehow knew that in the end she wouldn't have her way.

Rain started pouring down, lightning and thunder made it's way through the clouds. The surrounding area was starting to cloud up in gray mists. He felt awful, very much like the scenery before him. He wasn't intentionally trying to make her feel bad for what transpired between them earlier. On the contrary, he really enjoyed it and might've gotten too carried away if he hadn't stopped them. Realizing Bunny has a deep fear for thunder and lightning he mentally cursed himself for probably adding on to her despair. He drove to his apartment lamenting to himself and silently brooding over his recent actions.

Back at his apartment, Mamoru was sitting on his lavender couch watching t.v . His thoughts would occasionally drift to his golden haired girlfriend. He couldn't help but touch his fingers to his lips. What was that urge he felt earlier? A fire lying deep inside, threatening to ignite right before he stopped himself from going dangerously further. The memory of how her irresistible mouth and tongue moved against his was replaying itself over and over in his mind. Never had he felt anything so intimate or passionate in his life. Then he came to a realization and it hit him hard. How had he not realized before? She wanted to take their relationship to the next level. He couldn't be 100 percent sure, but he was fairly certain that this was likely the case. He found his way to bathroom to take a cold shower to ease his battling thoughts. After he showered he collapsed on his bed, and he couldn't help but still think about Bunny. On the one hand he desired her. He had always desired her even from the beginning, but always kept his feelings in check because she was too young and he was her protector in every sense of the word. He never tried anything with her or pushed things with her because he always knew that that day would soon come when the time was right. Most men didn't have that kind of restraint and he prided himself in not being one of them .Yet he had this nagging feeling that she was becoming frustrated and unhappy with him.

The last thing he wanted was for her to feel that way, yet he was at a loss. He didn't know how to remedy this situation. It was an awkward place to be in. Even though their battles were long over since that last battle with Galaxia, they still had one more thing to look forward to..the formation of Crystal Tokyo. They weren't monarchs as of yet but they were engaged to be married soon. Although, the date still hasn't been set yet, he wanted to wait until after they said their vows, as royal heirs to the kingdoms of the Earth and moon. It was the only right thing to do, and the only assumed thing to do, according to their social status. He wasn't sure if being physically intimate with her now was such a good idea, no matter how tempting...but he still wondered what if...

"Just tell me what you want me to do.." He whispered out loud. No matter what, he wanted her to be happy. Unable to come to a resolve or solution, he ended up drifting off into a dreamless sleep.
