Moonlight Memories
Chapter 3: Apartment Crux.
Mamoru opened the apartment door, gestured for Usagi to enter and she looked at him cautiously before she did. To the right of the tiny hall was the kitchen and to the left the living room connected to a second room but the door was closed. Mamoru closed the apartment door behind her and she turned and looked and slowly the bag from her shoulder. Held it with stiff fingers as he smiled and then, softly, he began speaking.
"I have the machine in my bathroom." He explained while she enjoyed the sunshine of his gaze. Tucked her lips neatly together and looked at him as he slipped out of his shoes and gestured towards the living room. She regarded the frame of his back as she slipped out of her own shoes, could image the movement of the skin below it and wondered how it felt to touch it, wondered if his skin was as warm as his eyes and for a moment she blushed imagining her hands approaching his back and slowly beginning to explore it with her fingertips.
As he reached the closed door he turned and looked at her. "Are you coming?" He said with a smile and she looked away then briefly shook her head while she felt his eyes venturing down her chin and neck then he nervously rubbed his hands together feeling his plan shattering into a thousand pieces.
"Can you show me around." The chime of her words filled the room and listening to the ringing echo she placed her bag beside her shoes. He came back towards her and his the smile on his lips trembling nervously and it made her want to laugh seeing him this nervous.
"Sure." He closed his eyes to a thin slit as he begged her to follow.
First they walked to the kitchen, there he made a broad gestured and explained this and that but she didn't really care what he said, she just wanted to hear him speak and from time to time nervously glance at her and smiled when she looked interested. In the living room he spent more time looking at his TV then at her, but suddenly towards the end of his speech when he looked at her something deep came to his eyes and for a moment Usagi was afraid that he would devour her with a kiss but he leaned away as if her previous dismissal had wounded him.
"So the bedroom." She said and pointed towards the door and a strong blush rushed over her face.
The highlight of the bedroom was the large bed with a dark blue cover and several cushions in a array of colours and Usagi had a sudden impulse to leap onto it like a child but instead nibbled her lower lip while he blushed awkwardly and strayed from her side. He removed a white shirt from one of the closets, measured it with his eyes. "Get changed why I..." The last word fell from his lips as he lost
himself in each pronounced feature of her face. Her lips who did not know if they should smile or not, her cheeks and chin and last her eyes where he remained looking for too long. Then he swallowed, handed her the shirt and when she took it their fingers touched.
Usagi brought the shirt close to her body as she remained her eyes magically locked with his. Realised that time passed around them and they did not notice,her heart still burned with the spark his touch had given her and she wished he would kiss her now, if he did it now she would never regret it.
