Oye, another chapter that took awhile to come out. I'm sorry, Steel and I have another project we're working on, but hopefully it won't interfere with this story. Feel free to bug us if we take too long, again. :)
Same old story, characters belong to Naoko-sama, adult situations and mild swearing; don't read if you are too young (heh) or hate lesbians.
This story is still dedicated to my Makoto. Mushy mushy mush mush. :)
Chapter 9: Crossdressing
Did you ever imagine something for a very long time? Did you ever think it would happen? And if it did, were you ever disappointed that it didn't live up to your imagination? Or did it actually surpass all your wildest dreams?
Or did you spend so long being in shock that it was actually happening that you forgot to step back and actually enjoy it?
I swear when my lips met Makoto's I was in heaven. The kind of heaven that was actually sort of familiar. Maybe cause I dreamed about this forever, or maybe it's cause the part of me that was Princess of Venus still remembers what it felt like to kiss her lover from Jupiter..
Then the side of me that was practical kicked in and I started totally freaking out in a, OH MY KAMI, I'M KISSING MY BEST FRIEND, SHE MUST THINK I'M A PERVERT!!!!!!! sort of way.
I pull away.
She looks shell shocked. Again. I wait for her to blow up and perhaps kill me... at least say I'm disgusting and never wanting to see me again. But part of me, hopes she loved it and would like to kiss again. Just one word Makoto, and I will...
She doesn't say anything.
Damn it Makoto, say something!?!?!?!?!?!
"Mako-chan?"
She finally looks at me. "Huh?"
I'm suddenly very afraid. "Are... are you okay?"
"Uh-huh." she nods and I relax. She doesn't want to kill me. I'm so relieved. We stay embraced for awhile, but finally it was time to go...
As Makoto walked me home, I started thinking too much. I always think too much. Makoto's silence bugged me. So did the "uh-huh" she gave me. What on earth is she thinking about? Did she really like it? Or did she hate it? I was expecting one or the other. What I DIDN'T expect was this.... unemotional response. Like she didn't care one way or the other that I just risked so much to make the first move. Not that I did it on purpose...
Oh my stars! What if I was wrong?? What if Makoto really DIDN'T like me????????
I'm thinking stuff like that (bad Minako, bad!) as Makoto sees me to my door and I sneak inside. Course Mom's been waiting up for me. "Where have you been, young lady?"
I then do something evil... again. I burst into tears. Again. Honestly, I don't usually cry this much . . .
Mom is, of course, taken aback by my outburst and gets zapped into 'mom mode'. She holds me close and I cry into her shoulder. "Honey, what's wrong?"
"I.. don't wanna... move!!" I sob.
Mom pulls back and gives me a stern 'mother look'. "Now Minako, don't start.."
The tears roll down my cheeks and I must look very unattractive at this point. Kami, I hoped I didn't look as bad when I cried on Mako-chan. "But Mom, I just can't leave! I love this place too much. I want to finish high school with my friends. To uproot me now would severely damage my psyche!"
Mom laughs, bonus points! But she quickly covers it up and gives me a piercing look. Like she could see right through me. "That can't possibly be the real reason you want to stay."
"No?"
"No, it's too well thought out."
"That's cause it's the truth!" Kami, my mom is so exasperating sometimes!
"But it's not the main reason you would like to stay..." She was really scrutinizing me now.. I started squirming and finally admitted the truth.
"I can't leave cause I'm in love."
Mom sighs and rolls her eyes, in a "is that all" manner. "There will be other boys."
And that really burns my English muffin!
"No Mom, this is serious! I love he-him, I want to spend the rest of my life with him. I'm GOING to spend the rest of my life with him. He is the nicest, most real person I have ever met. When I'm around him, I feel complete, like I can finally be myself, even when I say something stupid, or pronounce something wrong. I don't think I'll ever find somebody else like he- him." I sigh, frustrated cause it's so hard to put into words my feelings. I really don't think I'm doing an adequate job.. "I love him." I say simply.
Oh man, I'm still crying.. and so is Mom!
"But honey, where will you stay?" she asks.
A ray of hope. "He offered to let me stay with him!" Dang, it's getting easier to use the male pronoun. The last thing I need is for my mom to know I'm talking about a girl. I know for a fact she will never understand and would probably forbid me from hanging out with Makoto anymore.. or worse. I don't even wanna try to imagine it... "He has an apartment already, and he offered me the guest room!"
Mom nods, looking pleased about the guest room thing. She then sighs. "I don't know, Mina-chan. As a mother, I don't want to let you go.." And I see that she really is upset about this. I immediately feel guilty about it... "But as a mother I also can't stand in the way of my daughter being happy..."
I perk up.
"I've never seen you so.. passionate about someone, or anything. Frankly honey, you're a rather flakey girl." Here I bristle. "Maybe living on your own for awhile would be good for you.."
I'm about to cheer, but Mom stops me.
"But!"
"But?"
"But I want to meet this young man first. If he doesn't seem mature enough to take care of my daughter, I will not allow you to stay with him."
"Oh.." I say disappointed, but it wasn't a defeat! I just have one more hurdle to cross! I just need to find a man...
I trudge off to bed, noting that combined it was three o'clock in the morning already. I plop onto the bed, knowing I'll be so dead tomorrow, but I still can't sleep. I just lie there wondering who I could get to be my "boyfriend."
I immediately think of my ideal man, but all I could picture was Makoto with short hair like she was in my Moon Kingdom dreams....
An evil thought struck me and I burst out laughing, scaring Artemis off the bed.
The next day at school, I corner Makoto. "Mako-chan I told my mother I wanted to stay here this morning and she asked why and I didn't know what to say I couldn't say I wanted to stay 'cause of the Sailor Senshi so I told her I was in love with somebody and wanted to stay with them but she said she wants to meet this guy and would you pretend to be my boyfriend pretty pretty please??"
This should be interesting...
End Chapter Nine.
