"Uh, Mamoru?"

He turned to his lover's brother. "Yes?"

"Why do you think Beryl had an abortion clinic card handy?"

"Are you dating Ms Nimura?"

"I am." Shingo barely whispered out.

"Well, sport. There's no easy way to tell you a girl's cheating on you-"

"Woah, woah, woah. Who said she's cheating on me?"

"Shingo." He sighed, "Shingo, if you're happy with her, be with her. If her not being able to be only your's bothers you too much, than dump her. I don't know what else to tell you." He sighed again, patted Shingo's shoulder, and left the building.


5:26 a.m. Why the heck am I up this early? I can barely wake up in time for work. (Well no recently, since I was so happy to see Mamoru at work.) Usagi jumped out of bed once she realized what had woken her up. Morning sickness. She ran to her bathroom, too much in a hurry to even close the door, and she kneeled down and threw up her insides.

Mamoru paddled up the steps and took out the extra key Usagi gave him before she fell asleep the previous night, and unlocked the door. Sure he was about thirty minutes early, but the thought of his lovely soon-to-be-fiancee and unborn child was in an unsafe, cheap apartment with the only protection of her littler brother, worried him to no end. He walked silently through her house, and saw the glow of Usagi's bathroom light shine through her cracked open door. He walked towards it and heard her gaging. He went into the bathroom and held her hair back, barely surprising the preoccupied blonde.

Once she was finished, she brushed her teeth, while Mamoru held her against him endearingly, which did make it harder for her, but she barely minded. She turned around to face him and smiled, "Breakfast, honey?"

Mamoru smiled back and led her to the kitchen. "Let me. I think Shingo would appreciate it more if the food was not raw or not burnt." He teased her and gave her a peck on the lips while she giggled at his halfhearted insults.

"Ughhh, com on gieuys. Brack iut uppppp." Shingo came out of his room, stumbling into the walls and reeking of alcohol. Mamoru went over to catch him before he fell to the ground. Usagi inched forward trying to think of what to do or say to help her brother.

"Shingo, You're drunk! Have you've been drinking all night long?" Usagi asked worriedly and stood up and walked over to her brother and tried to make eye contact.

"Shut up, 'Mom' I can do what I want. I'm an adult."

"Not in my house, young man. You are my little brother and you do what I have to say while you stay here." Usagi crossed her arms while her emotions became crossed as well.

Shingo began to shake until tears spilled out of his eyes. Mamoru patted his back and began to walk them back to his room while he said, "Usagi leave this to me, I think I know what's wrong with Shingo and you're going to have to forgive his behavior because if we were in his position we would be the same." And with that they entered Shingo's room. Usagi stood dumbfounded.

In Shingo's room, Mamoru sat him down and patted his back understandingly, "I'm guessing you talked to you're girlfriend?" Shingo only nodded. "Do you want to tell me what she said? It's fine if you don't want to tell me, but I think it'd be better if you vented a little bit."

Shingo softly muttered a few words then coughed and repeated, "I called her…. A guy picked up." he took a deep breath, "And when the guy put her on, she admitted to cheating, point-blank. Apparently all the 'friends' she was visiting up here were new and ex lovers!" Shingo's veins tensed up and yanked his arm over to his bedside table and smashed his alarm clock to the floor.

Usagi ran in when she heard the loud commotion and saw a sobbing Shingo palms down on the floor while Mamoru kneeled nearby him. She rushed over to her poor brother and pulled him into a huge, "Shingo, my love. Forget about her. You are the most decent guy" besides Mamoru, "I've ever known. You could have your choice of any girls ANYWHERE and they'd fall head over for you. I'll even tell you most of my friends had secret crushes on you even though they were much older. I promise you'll fine an outstanding girl that will treat you way better than Beryl did. I love you, okay? Now get up and lets get you to the bathroom to take a bath. You smell awful!" Mamoru and Usagi both took either arm of Shingo's and brought him to the bathroom.

A half an hour later, Shingo came out of the bathroom, steam surrounding his wet self. And he saw Usagi waiting for him at the kitchen table, two plates of bacon, eggs, and crescent rolls next to her.

"Hey bro! Thought you might like a hangover breakfast. It's magically delicious even though I didn't make it." Usagi and Shingo laughed together because they both know, no matter how hard Usagi tried, she ruined all meals she cooked. Mamoru had left the apartment and headed off to work because even though Usagi could skip a few days of work, the boss definitely could not.

Shingo walked over and sat next to her and they both started eating while Shingo told Usagi about how he met Beryl and how he's always know she must have been cheating on him since they had huge time gaps apart from each other.
