A/N: Hello everyone! Please meet the final chapter. Well, almost final :)

To those who love the Haruka/Usagi pairing, it IS the final chapter because things between those two end here, in this piece.

But there will be an additional chapter, quite teasing and talky one (and no Haruka/Usagi directly), so if you do not want to ruin your impression about the whole story you better not read that ;) But if you make up your mind to do it, don't blame me for a slight mocking at our favorite characters because I warned you :)

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon. Naoko Takeuchi does ;)

* Another Dream About Us *

Chapter 10

"Forgive me, Koneko." Usagi heard her tender whisper and looked up in surprise.

"Why?" She asked, tears still flowing down her cheeks.

Instead of an answer Haruka carefully wiped the girl's tears away, leaned in and softly kissed her on the lips. When they parted Usagi's eyes widened in amazement.

"It wasn't a dream", the wind senshi shook her head repentantly. A slight smirk played on her lips as she squeezed her eyelids in playful horror. "But before you beat the life out of me let me explain why I acted this way. It was damn hard to pretend, just for the record."

"I will not beat you", Usagi smiled through her tears. Her world shone with rainbow colors again, "I would never hurt you."

Haruka took the tender hand of the girl and kissed her palm fondly. Hugging and cradling the princess, she tried to explain her reasons for such a behavior.

"First of all and the most important, I want to say that the last night was very special for me. And I want you to know it. And it's not just that wild sex that we had but als… incredible, Koneko, you're still blushing, after all we had experienced last night", the wind senshi grinned mischievously and got a slight hit on her arm from Usagi and a brighter blush. "Okay, I see, no talking about it. Hmm… then I guess we'll talk about what happened in the morning. Well… I fell asleep holding you, the loveliest princess, in my arms, thinking about how great it would be to wake up beside you and kiss you. Soon after the dawn I was lying awake and thinking about your sadness before you fell asleep. It hit me then that it would be at least embarrassing for you to have me near, all naked. And I still believe I was not so wrong seeing that you are blushing even now."

"Probably you were not", Usagi agreed, trying hard to fight her blush. But everything in the morning was so… so different. The princess was afraid even to start thinking about what she did last night let alone how. What had gotten into her back then? It was so unlike her. But still… it felt wonderful. Fighting the funny tickling feeling in her stomach, Usagi leaned against Haruka's shoulder and smiled brightly.

The tomboy hugged the princess closer, placed a small kiss on the top of her golden-haired head and went on speaking.

"See, so I got up and went to grab some clothes. But on my way back I thought about how you would feel in the morning. I mean, we both know you are very delicate and I still remember how shy you were when it came, for example, to taking off your bra yesterday. Of course your passionate side surprised me later, even counting that I suspected you to be an ardent lover. But I also presumed that it was due to the night and my… seducing, so in the daylight things could have returned to their usual condition, and I thought you'd turn into the delicate, shy princess again. That's why I spent the rest of the night sleeping on the couch, I didn't want to embarrass you more than I had done already by that time."Haruka paused and looked down to meet the reassuring look of the beautiful blue eyes. The wind senshi sighed and glanced away before continuing in a low voice. "And there is more. I was awake again by the time you left to take a shower, and the first thing I saw in the morning was you sitting up in the bed and shaking your head like crazy. I assumed that it was your reaction at the thoughts about our making out at night. And when a bit later you passed by me without even looking let alone kissing me, I thought that that was how you wanted it to be. And even though I never had an opportunity to realize it before, your actions left me… empty…" carefully picking out the words, Haruka couldn't meet Usagi's eyes; it was hard for her to voice out emotions she went through in the early morning. Of course there was much more to it than a simple 'empty' but being pathetic was never for the wind senshi, so the girl opted for leaving the rest unsaid, "thinking that you wanted to forget, to erase from your mind everything that we shared…"

"Koneko", again Haruka met the princess's eyes for a second, she fondly grazed the smaller girl's cheek and said seriously, "I just wanted you to have your own way of reacting. If you regretted what we did – even though the last night you told me you didn't – you could have acted as if nothing happened and I would have pretended and acted your way. You see, it was not about me, but about you. I just didn't want you to feel uneasy. I wanted to make you feel better, comfortable with whatever way you'd choose. But here, I hurt you instead. I am sorry, my little princess. I apologize sincerely."

Usagi let out a small happy laughter and threw her arms around the sandy blonde's neck, relief and joy shiningly brightly through her actions.

"Thank you, Haruka-chan", she buried her face in Haruka's neck, hugging the older girl tight, "thank you so much for all this! Everything you said… it means a lot to me! I was so silly to believe that you tried to avoid me in the morning; I apologize for thinking bad of you. The night was also very special for me… just like you were. My beautiful wind, you made me feel so free, loved and desired, and you showed me another side of me, the one I never knew before…" the princess cupped Haruka's face with her hands and lovingly caressed her cheeks, her navy-blue eyes beaming with pure happiness.

Haruka chuckled inwardly, amazed at how quickly their princess switched over sadness to happiness and over lavish tears to a hearty wide smile. They shared a few long loving looks, searching for and finding the response to the warm tender feeling that grew inside of both of them until the wind senshi pecked Usagi on the nose and smiled teasingly.

"You look too serious… so unlike you."

The princess giggled and sprang from Haruka's lap. "Well then, I remember someone was talking about breakfast…?"

"I thought you were not so hungry", the tomboy couldn't help but burst out with laughter, standing up, wrapping her arm around Usagi's waist and leading the girl back to the kitchen.

"I am now." The young princess girl assured, gladly following the handsome hostess to the table, shining bright and happy.

And the morning was lovely again.

A while later Haruka drove Usagi home.

Unlocking the doors, the wind senshi got out of the car and gracefully got the door at Usagi's side, helping the princess out.

Usagi smiled gratefully and nodded before walking to the gate to open it. She wanted to say something amiable to Haruka but couldn't come up with anything worthy. Awkwardness tied her tongue, and the young princess decided to open the gate first, just to occupy her hands with anything, before the time to say goodbye would come.

"Oh and before you go home, there is something else I want to tell you", the tomboy smiled out of the blue. Leaning on the car's door with her hands shoved in the pockets casually, Haruka watched Usagi handling the gate lock, mischievous sparkles dancing in her teal eyes.

"Alright", the princess struggled with the lock a bit longer but at last she managed to open the gate and smiled victoriously. "What is that?"

"You are even sweeter. I found it out, finally." The wind senshi arched her eyebrow meaningfully, the familiar sexy grin curving her lips.

The young girl turned deep crimson and tried but couldn't let out a sound, her mouth opening and closing helplessly. Images from the last night overwhelmed her mind coming in hot waves, many of them showing specifically how Haruka was finding it out. A slight shiver went down her spine sending the tingles throughout her body. Gosh, how long does that Haruka's effect last?

"Aaaargh!" Usagi snarled at last and turned away, pretending to be abused. "Forget it! Send my regards to Michiru-san when you see her. And never, never say that again! I mean it!" The golden blonde rushed towards the house, waving a short good-bye over her shoulder.

But then she stopped on the half-way and turned around, a sly smirk playing on her lips. Haruka was looking at her and smiling back warmly. Usagi sighed in the mock defeat and, still grinning, made her way towards the wind senshi.

"I will remember last night, Haruka-chan, I promise. Thank you for everything. I wish you happiness with Michiru-san. I know how much you love her", the princess cut the distance between them and kissed Haruka on the cheek. "And just to make things not so complicated with that entire double-cheating thing… let's consider it just a wonderful dream. Another one, about you and me. Just like it was before. Is it okay with you?"

Haruka took Usagi's tender hand, kissed it cordially and nodded silently.

Waving good-bye once more, the young princess headed home, her heart feeling light and true.

She waltzed to her bedroom, not even a stumble over her legs during her entire way upstairs, then she rushed to her balcony and dreamily put her chin on the propped arms, watching the handsome tomboy get into her car and speed off. Usagi returned to her room, flopped into her bed and hugged her pillow, her thoughts flying away to a dreamland.

"It was an incredible night that we shared, my beautiful wind. The best I ever had…" The moonlight princess smiled happily and closed her eyes, savoring sweet memories from the last night. Again and again she recalled and replayed in her mind the most wonderful scenes: Haruka's teasing, her own awkwardness, their first kiss… and many others that came after, feeling Haruka's soft skin on hers, her sensual strokes, the tomboy's nimble fingers roaming all over her body, that skillful lovely tongue of the wind senshi, all those sensations her caresses evoked, and that sexy grin of hers… Usagi blushed at the memory of Haruka coming and her thankful deep kiss right after, which left her breathless for a while.

Soon her memory went to their sincere talks and meaningful looks, and the princess was still amazed by how expressive and different Haruka's eyes were all the time; now serious or pensive, now ardent and passionate, now soothing or reassuring; and there were those subtle changes of her eyes' color, from the forest green to the sky-blue.

Haruka was a beautiful person, sometimes bold, but mostly self-confident, unbelievably sexy, and all that made her extremely desired. And at the same time she was a caring, tender, sympathetic and understanding woman which only made her tenfold better.

'Watch out, don't fall, don't fall in love with Haruka-chan!' The girl reminded herself strictly.

Indeed, it would be so easy, incredibly easy to loose control and let herself fall deeply, madly in love with the enchanting wind senshi…

But Usagi opened her eyes and sat up straight in her bed, ordering herself to focus on something (or better someone) else. She shook her head and let out a small laughter when thinking about her beloved Mamoru turned out to be unexpectedly hard to do. Resolutely pulling out a few photo albums from a shelf hanging across her bed, the girl made herself switch her attention to other people, even though the pictures with the Outers drew definitely more attention now than ever before.

Usagi decided that she would let herself think about their night many, many times from this day on, just not now. Not yet. Because if she does, she would fall in love with Haruka irreversibly.

…

Meanwhile Haruka drove her car at the breathtaking speed. Shuffling the memories from the last night she couldn't hold back a wide grin that grew only wider as the images of the young sweet princess and her piercing cerulean eyes flushed Haruka's mind.

Warm wind tousled the girl's short sandy-blonde hair and she enjoyed its caress. The teal eyes sparkled with mischief and amusement. Haruka finally felt free and happy. Love and tenderness filled her heart entirely, leaving no place for loneliness anymore.

'I will remember everything, Koneko. Every little thing about you and me. And I would do anything in the world just to keep you shining and happily smiling … always.'
