"I still can't believe it. She's actually dating Setsuna." Usagi muffled between bites of her triple chocolate cake Makoto prepared for their afternoon luncheon or (for Usagi) sugar overload before classes began the following day. Rei sighed, rubbing her index finger and thumb along her forehead. "Usagi."
"What?"
"Just eat your cake, Usagi." Rei sighed resting her other hand on the table, "You're getting crumbs all over yourself and your part of the table."
"Oh?"
The other girls giggled, watching as their blonde bunny washed the rest of her cake down with milk. The door opened slowly, catching the girls off guard. Stepping from behind the door, a very shy and slightly glowing Ami emerged carrying a few books in her hands. The girls smiled at her trying to hide the fact that they knew who she was dating. If only they knew the rest.
"Hi Ami." Minako said, breaking the silence as the Mercurian girl sat at the table, "So. How was your date?"
She began to blush uncontrollably thinking of the previous night and the early morning. "It was...great."
"That's great to hear. Wish you could have joined us last night." A small snicker could be heard as Makoto offered out a plate to Ami. "Would you like some sandwiches? I made a few varieties." Ami's eyes fixed upon a small turkey sandwich on pumpkin rye bread with just a little bit of lettuce on it. "Thanks, Mako-chan." she said taking a small nibble of the delicious treat.
"So what did you and Sets..I mean you do on your date?" A simply slip of the tongue, but nevertheless Ami heard part of what was coming from Usagi's lips. Bunny could only hold her hands over her mouth, receiving glares from Makoto and Minako with Rei simply sighing. "Usagi" the two glaring said in unison. Ami held her head down in frustration and embarrassment. They all knew who she was dating without her being the first to break the news to them. How dare they? It was as if they betrayed her in a sense, calculating what would happen next. Their friendship would change now, alienating her in a sense because of her feelings, how infatuation. Her love? This wasn't how she wanted it. Standing up, she rushed towards the door, holding a frail hand on the knob.
"So you did spy on me." Her words held a bit of anger behind them as she turned the knob. "Gomen. This is a bad time right now."
"Ami." She disappeared through the door. Makoto rushed after Ami, leaving the 3 girls behind. "Usagi! You're so damn INSENSITIVE!"
"Rei you were in on this too!"
"Yeah at least I had the decency to wait until she told us, Baka!"
"How do you think she feel now?!" Mina sighed and turned her eyes to her hands which were folded before her on the table. "She probably feels like she's alone and betrayed now. Like she's lost her best friends."
"Mina...I...I didn't mean..." She held her head down, reflecting in hindsight how this would affect them. She loved Ami, no matter what. And now she probably ruined their friendship by her slip up. "...I don't want to lose her as a friend...I should go after her."
"No, Usagi. Makoto went after her. I'm sure she'll be back."
"Yeah, meatball head. Let someone who's a bit more sensitive than you talk to her."
"Well I'm glad it's not you then, Rei!"
"Why you!" The two girls started their wrestling match to determine the dominant party. Mina simply sighed, holding her head in her hands while Usagi managed to get a hold of Rei's hair and vice versa. "Why did I get stuck with these two."
Meanwhile outside Makoto managed to catch up to Ami who was running as fast as she could down the stairwell. "Ami! Ami!" Capturing the girl in her arms, she held her close from behind, resisting her struggle to break free.
"Let me GO!"
"Ami, calm down. We're sorry we spied on you. We were curious and concerned. Stop freaking out."
"NO!" she shook furiously, whimpering as tears rolled down her cheek and onto Makoto's arms. She stopped struggling against Makoto's bear hug. The only thing she could do now was stand there with her fist balled and face traced with tears. "I'm now an outsider or some token minor in the group now because...because..."
"Because you have feelings for a woman? As long as she makes you happy, what else can we say? That's something that won't come between our friendship." Makoto let her hold on Ami loose, turning her around to embrace her. She stroked her sapphire hair to comfort her crying friend. For what seemed like an eternity the two of them stood in this embrace. Finally Ami stopped trying, pulling away from Makoto. "So...you don't think I'm queer or anything like that and won't stop being my friend?"
At this Makoto chuckled a bit. "Well, queer yes."
"Mako-chan-"
"But..." She took Ami's hands into her own, giving her a warm smile, "we're not going to stop being you friend. If anything, it will make us closer as friends."
"Promise?"
"Of course! I'm happy that you've found a great person like Setsuna and she's lucky to have a great girlfriend like you. Now willya come on back to the apartment? "
Ami nodded, walking with Makoto back to the apartment. She smiled in relief, happy that for once she was wrong about her calculations and still had her friends. Makoto turned to her, giving her the oddest of looks. "Besides, Ami. You're not the only one who has feelings for another woman." Ami stopped dead in her tracks, looking to Makoto. "What do you...wait...you mean...you?"
"Uh, yeah. Duh." She turned around putting one hand on her hip. "Did you honestly think I would be straight being as butch as I am?"
"Well, I suspected but put the thought behind me with you constantly mentioning your ex boyfriends and flirting with guys."
"Like you, I was scared. I used that as smoke screen so I wouldn't feel like an outsider. To be honest, I haven't been interested in boys for a while."
"Who's the lucky girl? Do the others know?"
"Well..." She smiled and gave a nervous laugh, "you will laugh but...You see...uhm...I've been dating Minako for about 9 months." Slowly she turned the knob, letting the door slide itself open slowly.
Ami's mouth dropped in shock. "Minako?"
"What?" a voice said from behind the door. The other girls were sitting at the table inside the apartment. Well Minako was sitting at the table while Usagi was busy trying to squirm her way out of Rei's headlock. "Hey guys. We're back." Closing the door behind them, Ami looked to Minako then to Makoto then back to Minako. Mina and Makoto's eyes met as if reading each other's thoughts.
"Soooo you told her?" Makoto nodded in agreement, winning a smile on Mina's face. Rei and Usagi stopped their wrestling, looking about the group. "Told her what? Hey have you guys been holding something from Usagi and myself? Well Usagi I can understand-"
"HEY! Get your armpit outta my FACE!" The strained harder to loosen herself from Rei's grip.
"But holding back from me?" Finally Rei released Usagi, causing her to flop backwards on the floor, "How could you?"
"Well we were gonna tell ya last night" Minako sighed standing up from her seat, "that is until operation Ami's date went on." The raven and the bunny looked to Minako curiously as Makoto moved closer to the love goddess. Their lips met in an innocent kiss, becoming more and more passionate as their hands rubbed along each other's body. Rei and Usagi's mouth dropped watching the spectacle before them. Ami blushed watching them as well feeling herself getting turned on slightly just by watching. Seeing them kiss reminded her how Setsuna's lips felt against her own. How her own body felt as if it were melt under the small touch of their meeting time after time. It was so...erotic.
Finally their lips parted, their eyes fixated on one another, catching their breath. "Makoto and I"
"Are a couple" Makoto finished, brushing her fingers through golden strands of silky hair.
"Oh...Kamisama...First Haruka and Michiru. Then Ami and Setsuna. Now you guys? That leaves myself, Mamo-chan and Rei... wait." Leering at Rei, she gave her an evil glint. "You like girls too don't you Rei?"
"I dated your Mamo-chan didn't I?"
"Grrr!"
The three girls watched the Raven and Bunny go at their wrestling match again. Ami sighed in contentment, watching the two supposed 'heterosexuals' fight each other. "Those two have way too much pent up frustrations." Ami and Minako giggled still watching them go at it. "You know, maybe those two will end up together and-"
"NEVER!" The two yelled, pulling at each other's hair.

"Sets! What the hell? . ?" She looked up from her cup of tea, quirking a brow at the ripped shirt Haruka shook before her. For a moment, she was taken back to that night, looking out over the beach as she gave Ami the most sensuous earth shattering experience of orgasmic pleasure. So much to the point that she clawed several marks on her back and passed out. She immediately drew herself back to the present, remembering that Haruka was still shaking that shirt of hers which obviously died the night she came. Michiru gave a small giggle, holding her hand to hide her lips watching the time keeper reflect. Setsuna curled her lips, looking at Michiru for a moment then to the blonde. "Well, I'm sure it's not the first time. It just happened to not be something as a result of the...sessions...the two of you have quite often. We simply got...a little carried away."
"But" She blushed a slight bit, still trying to have some kind of angry look on her face as she shook the shirt, "This was a Hugo Boss shirt."
Michiru rose from her chair, wrapping her arms around her lover and planting a small kiss on her lips. "Love, I'm sure it wasn't intentional. Besides it's not like you don't have plenty of shirts as is. I'm sure just one won't hurt you." With a small peck on her lover's lips she turned her attention back to Setsuna who was busy looking at her phone smiling mischievously. "Next time, Haruka, I'll try to be a bit more careful seeing how I've received a text from Ami inviting us to dinner with Minako and Makoto."
"She invited you, you mean."
"Nope. Makoto and Minako asked her to invite the three of us to dinner tonight." Michiru quirked a brow to Setsuna who simply smiled. "Minako.."
"And Makoto?" Haruka finished, smiling like a chestshire cat. "This is becoming quite interesting. I bet you saw this coming, didn't you 'Tsuna?"
She rose from her chair, letting her emerald hair flow behind her as she moved closer to the kitchen doorway. "I'm just the keeper of time, not the predictor of the future. Who knows what will happen next?" She smiled at the couple for a moment before then looked to her phone reading the 'Sorry about the scratches again. Maybe this time you can restrain me since I have a sweet tooth and want you for dessert :)' message from the Princess of Mercury as she disappeared into her room.
