Usagi sniffled as she made her way to her usual stool by the counter in the Crown Arcade. Why did they have to be so mean to her? What had she done to deserve such treatment? She was a good person wasn't she? She was kind to animals, well besides Luna, but that was because Luna woke her up when she would much rather asleep. She tithed and she looked both ways before crossing the street. So what had she done?
"Hello Usagi!" called Motoki from behind the counter. "What's wrong?" he asked his cheerful face morphing into one of concern.
Usagi sniffled and sat down. "Motoki," she asked ignoring his question in favor of asking one of her own. "Am I a mean person? Do I deserve havingpeopledo mean things to me?"
"Of course not Usagi! Why is someone being mean to you?"
"No. Someones as in plural are being mean to me!" she wailed.
Mamoru, who had been sitting a few stools over and heard everything, jumped into the conversation to add his two cents. "Who is it Usagi? What are their names?"
Usagi's tears stopped for a moment from pure shock. Mamoru had called her by name. Mamoru looked angry. Mamoru looked angry because people were being mean to her. Wow! "Why do you care?" she asked her eyes narrowed in suspicion.
Mamoru's mouth opened and closed a few times while he tried to decide what to say. Finally he figured out what he needed his mouth to say, "Motoki, go take someone's order. I need to talk to Usagi for a moment, please"
Motoki raised his eyebrow but complied with his wishes and left the two alone so that they could talk by themselves.
"Why do you care Mamoru?" Usagi asked her tears long forgotten.
Mamoru sighed and collected his thoughts. "Because I don't like seeing you hurt. Because I don't like seeing you cry. Because I like to see you smiling."
Usagi was silent for a moment and looked into is dark blue eyes but all she saw was sincerity. "But why?" she aked.
"Because I want to protect you."
"I don't need a protector Mamoru."
"But you have one Usagi. Don't worry about it. Just know that I'll protect you."
