At first the stares and the hushed comments got on Usagi's nerves, but after about a month, they no longer fazed her as much. You see, Usagi was at the center of the hottest scandal to ever hit Juuban...what some were dubbing the Tsukino-Chiba affair. When it became known that Tsukino Usagi and Chiba Mamoru were not only friendly, but were in a relationship, some thought the world was coming to an end. Boys started to glare at Mamoru because it was his fault that Usagi was out of circulation. Girls would look at Usagi and feel envy at the fact she could call Mamoru hers. However, all this commotion rarely touched them since they were so happy. To finally express themselves and not fear rejection. Love was a wonderful thing.
Even though her and Mamoru were almost total opposites, they complimented each other so well. She almost felt a deep link with him that she didn't feel with anyone else, even her closest friends. There were times when he could tell her how she was feeling and vice versa. It was simply amazing. Now that wasn't to say they still didn't have those heated 'discussions' from before, but this time, there was an undercurrent of love and words were not chosen to inflict hurt.
Right now she was with him at the summit above the city, overlooking the bright lights of downtown Tokyo. They were sitting Mamoru's car and just enjoying the companionable silence of being together. Cuddling closer, she said, "Mamo-chan, can I ask you a question?" "You can ask me anything Usako...you know that?", he replied tilting up her chin so he could meet her gaze. "You don't have to answer this is you don't want to but..." "But what Usa?" he urged her. "Whatever happened to your parents? If you don't feel like...", she hesitated. "No...it's alright. Taking a deep breath, he began his story.
When I was about six I was in a terrible accident and I was the only one from my family to survive. I couldn't remember anything and the doctors could only say that I had amnesia and that I might never get my memory back. After about a couple of months, they had to place me in an orphanage, because they couldn't find any living relatives or no one had come to claim me. So off I went. I kept to myself most of the time and people didn't bother me. I saved all the money I ever had from working odd jobs and just waited until I was old enough to move out. When I became of age, I received a letter from an attorney saying that my parents had left me a sizable amount of money in a trust fund. With that knowledge, I simply packed up and left. The rest is what you already know. I've only told one other person this...all I ask is that you don't pity me. I don't think that I could stand for you give it to me.", Mamoru finished quietly, waiting for her reaction.
Usagi couldn't believe it. When she looked into Mamoru's eyes, she could only see a turbulent sea where sadness and desperation were raging like mad. Seeing this, she did the only thing she could think of...she pulled him close and held him. A sense of peace overwhelmed Mamoru as inhaled the sweet fragrance that was Usagi's alone. After a couple of minutes, she pulled away slightly and looked into his eyes. With tenderness, she said, "Mamoru, I know that we've been only grown close this past year, but I just want you to know that I will always be here for you. I will be your family." Mamoru could do nothing but look at the young woman who had barged her way into his life and melted his heart.
Mamoru's voice almost cracked with the emotion that he felt. "Thank you Usako. That is the most precious gift that anyone has ever given me. Aishiteru koishii", he whispered kissing her temple. "Aishiteru Mamo-chan...always.", Usagi replied as she gave him a kiss of her own, one that told him all he needed to know.

Minako couldn't help but think about the couple as she sipped her milkshake, waiting for her boyfriend to finish up. They were the first 'success' of the Affection Connection and she was a little upset that it was all over. Thinking of Usagi usually led to thinking about her other friends as well, her 'single' friends. Looking up, she saw Motoki coming her way, with a big smile on his face. *Everyone should have someone to smile at them like that.* Minako thought, as she smiled back at her boyfriend.
"Hey beautiful", Motoki said as he kissed her on the cheek, and sat down next to her. "Hey Toki-chan...", Minako replied, without the enthusiasm she usually head in her voice when she greeted him. Motoki. noticing this asked her what was wrong. Sighing, Mina replied, "It's just that I'm so happy you know, but it's not fair that everyone is like this." As soon as she finished Motoki understood what, or better yet, who she was talking about. Mako-chan, Ami-chan, and Rei-chan, the other part of the Affection Connection. She had been dropping hints that she wanted to do something similar for them like she did for Usagi, but Motoki kept putting it off. For one, he didn't know any immediate candidates for the girls and second, he didn't want to be on the receiving end of one of Mako-chan or Rei-chan's tempers. However, when Minako turned her face to his, he couldn't help but fall under the spell of her puppy dogface. *Mamoru told me about this...I bet you she learned it from Usagi-chan*, Motoki thought as he looked into his girlfriend's big sky-blue eyes.
Groaning, he said, "Alright....alright...I'll help you, but you have to promise me that if Mako-chan or Rei-chan find out, I don't know ANYTHING, okay?" "YES...OH YES....Domo Arigato Toki-chan. You won't regret this.", Minako gushed, as she wrapped him up in a big hug. *I have to thank Usa for showing me that technique*, Minako thought as she continued to hug him. Hearing a cough from behind them, they broke apart to see Usagi and Mamoru standing there, trying to barely contain the laughter inside themselves. "uhhh...Motoki-onii-chan, is it alright to get us a milkshake or will Mina-P kill us for stealing you away.", Usagi said grinning at her friend mischievously.
Laughing, Motoki pecked Minako on the cheek and said, "Duty calls, sweetheart. I'll be right back with your shake guys." "Thanks", Usagi said as she pulled Mamoru in the seat bedside her facing Minako.
"So Minako-chan what's up with you? Why are you hyper than usual?" "Usagi-chan, I think that the Affection Connection is back in business. I've finally convinced Motoki, and now I want to ask you and Mamoru help me, so will you?" "Of course, especially since I'm not the one getting hooked up.", Usagi said. "Great, cause we need to get started ASAP." As the two girls made plans, Mamoru couldn't help but to be thankful to the person that ever granted wishes, because his had been granted and that was to have someone to love him and for someone to love.
Now that is THE END!! I wish to thank all of you that wrote me and told me what you liked and (did not like) about my story. Domo Arigato minna-chan!
