Mamoru eyed Seiya warily, shaking her hand after a second's inspection.
"She loves you," she admitted, though her smile wavered a bit.
"She-," but Mamoru stopped himself, not wanting to patronize.
Seiya almost looked thankful.
Turning, she embraced Usagi one more time, for a long time, that did not escape even Usagi's notice. Brushing her lips against Usagi's cheek, she smiled and stepped away.
Pulling lightly on a pigtail, she whispered, "Bye, Odango."
Usagi leaned her head against Mamoru's chest, feeling the stiffness in his body. She giggled.
"I love _you_, Mamo-chan."
"I know," he said gruffly.
"And even if I didn't-"
Mamoru swung her around so they were face to face. "She has her duty? Another princess? She lives in a galaxy far, far away?" he teased, feeling more at ease, now that they had gone.
"Silly." She threaded fingers through his hair. "I'm not a lesbian."
Mamoru laughed out loud, relief flooding him completely. Usagi scrunched up her face.
"… I don't think…"
Silence exploded
'Wait. What?'
