SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 26 out, this is Chapter 27 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?
Pairings: Mainly Tieria/Sasha, Allelujah/Marie, Lockon Jr./Anew, Billy/Sumeragi, Patrick/Kati
Standard BS Disclaimers: I do not own Sailor Moon, Gundam 00 or the pairings. If I did, the other Senshi would be as powerful as Sailor Moon and kicking MOTD ass more often and VEDA would have least an anti-hacker program installed. The only thing I do own is the plot.
Chapter 27: Charm
Time passes...
Sasha grew concerned when Tieria started putting in overtime at work for several weeks the purple-haired pilot had more often than not, left for the maintenance hanger at the brick of dawn and only returned past after-work hours.
Both Linsey and Argyrios had alleviated the water Senshi's worries, telling her that Tieria had no notion of the meaning of unfaithfulness and she was being too paranoid.
Three weeks later, Tieria returned to his and Sasha's shared room to see the usual pre-prepared dinner on the dining table: a covered bowl of chicken stew coupled with two pieces of pita flatbread. He peered into the bedroom to see Sasha was already snuggled under the covers.
"Be patient, Sasha." he snuck to her side of the bed and planted a brief kiss on her cheek. "Just bare with this a little longer."
Later that weekend...
"Tieria, where are we going?" Sasha asked, the pilot having dragged her out of the Palace and onto the streets.
"You'll see." Tieria smiled mysteriously. "We're here." he stopped before a jewelry store after an impromptu lunch date.
"Welcome, Erde-sama." the saleswoman greeted the couple. "We have your specialized order ready." with the engaged couple seated before the glass showcases, she brought out a velvet box and from under the glass case and opened it, revealing a platinum bracelet with a charm of the decorative harp from Super Sailor Mercury's Crystal Change Rod.
"Tieria, this..." Sasha blinked at her abashed lover.
"I saw this in the display a month before." Tieria admitted.
"So, all those late nights were to..." Sasha breathed in realization.
"I'm sorry for worrying you." Tieria whispered.
SailorStar9: Any OOC-ness is regretted. *Sighs* Don't you just love plot bunnies sometimes? Read and review.
