'Mamoru,
Thanks for locking up for me tonight. Don't forget to wash the kitchen floor. Don't worry about serving the customers. No-one comes in after 8, but we have to stay open anyway. I really appreciate you doing this. I'll make it up to you sometime.
Motoki'
Mamoru looked around at the empty arcade as he read the note Motoki's sister had handed him a few minutes ago as they changed over shifts. Slowly a grin began to appear on his face.
Ten minutes later, the arcade was filled with giggles as Usagi and her friends walked in, having just seen a movie. Usagi was just about to call out for Motoki when she heard a noise coming from the direction of the kitchens. Curious, she walked closer and what she saw made her burst into loud peals of laughter.
"I'm coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show"
Mamoru was disco dancing around the kitchen with a mop in hand. Mamoru. Disco dancing. To complete Usagi's amusement, Mamoru looked up to discover the source of the laughter.
In later years, Usagi would describe that look as a cross between a deer in the headlights and a naughty five year old caught with his fingers in the cookie jar. Mamoru on the other hand would just deny the incident ever happened and then proceed to remind his wife that he had never 'come out' of any closet and would never need to either.
