A Love As Sweet As Sugar
by Artemis
------------------------------------------------------
SEVEN
I held onto the star locket in my pocket and drew in a
deep breath. I walked into the arcade, all smiles as
per usual. It was difficult to keep up the act in front
of Mamoru, but I tried. He smiled as I sat down next to
him. I smiled back. Mina had convinced me to give him
a chance. Just one chance. If he blew this one, that was
it.
"How are you Usagi?" Mamoru murmured softly.
"I'm fine," I mumbled, unable to look him in the eye.
"It's a miracle!" Motoki san suddenly shouted.
We both looked at him, puzzled.
"What?" I asked him.
"Mamoru actually wants to know how somebody else is
doing!" he teased his friend.
"Leave me alone Motoki," Mamoru frowned.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it," Motoki san laughed.
I felt a little awkward about it. Mamoru suddenly got
up and left. He strode out of the arcade. I looked at
Motoki san.
"Don't worry, he's not angry. He knows I'm just kidding.
Usually he doesn't leave like this..." Motoki san told me.
I nodded, then left the arcade to find Mamoru. I had this
deep rooted feeling to want to know why he left. Even though
I had convinced myself the night before that I didn't
care about him at all, my thoughts wavered again.
I found him sitting at the park that we had been to before.
He was sitting underneath a tree with his eyes closed.
I tip toed closer to him and wondered what to do. Quietly, I
sat down next to him and looked at him. I tried not to think
about the last time I was here in this very park, sitting
with Mamoru. It was partly embarrassing how I seemed to
have been flirting with him. I slipped the star locket out
of my pocket and looked at it. The locket twinkled at me
and almost seemed to whisper something to me. I played the
sweet melody and felt calm. I turned to Mamoru and he was
still asleep, or at least he still had his eyes closed.
I shivered a little. Strangely enough, it was a little cold
under the shade of the tree even though it had been so hot
only minutes before.
"Mamoru?" I whispered, closing the star locket and
tucking it safely in my pocket.
He didn't respond. I sat up on my knees and saw that he
was sweating and mumbling something. He seemed to be
having a nightmare and I wasn't sure what to do.
"Mamoru!" I whispered to him again.
I shook him a little and he woke up with a jolt. I let go
of him immediately. He was gasping for breath.
"Are you okay?" I murmured quietly, staring at him in
surprise.
He looked at me and brushed his fringe out of his eyes.
"Usagi? What are you doing here?" he asked, confused.
"I.. I came to see if you were okay.. You left the
arcade abruptly... remember?" I murmured.
"That's right..." he nodded and turned away from me.
He gazed at the ground for sometime.
"Was it a nightmare?" I asked. "You were mumbling
something when I came..."
He just shook his head, closed his eyes and sighed deeply.
I just sat there looking at him, worried about what had
just happened.
"What's wrong?" I asked again, a little louder this time.
He didn't reply. Instead, he just leaned against the tree
again and gazed blankly in my direction. I waved my hand
in front of his eyes and he grabbed my wrist, pulling me
closer to him.
"Mamoru?" I asked, puzzled by his strange behaviour.
He wrapped his arms around me and held me close. I sat
there rigidly, not knowing what to say or do.
"What are you doing?" I asked him, half expecting a reply
and half questioning myself.
He hugged me tight and rested his head on my shoulder.
I could feel his soft, silky hair against my neck.
"Mamoru?" I whispered again. "Say something..."
I gradually relaxed and lay my head on his shoulder
and snuggled a little closer to him. I felt his warm
hands stroke my hair. I felt that this was wrong, but
I didn't want him to let go. I only wanted to be friends,
but I felt comfortable and contented being with him like
this. Why couldn't I decide how I felt?
"Usagi..." I heard his gentle voice whisper in my ear.
He pulled me away only enough for him to face me properly.
I aovided looking at him, but he lifted my face up so he
could see me and I could see him.
"Usagi, I'm sorry but I lied before... I don't want to
just be friends. I want to be more than friends... And now
that I have you here with me, I don't ever want to let
you go..."
He gazed into my eyes with honesty. How could he have such
strong emotions for me? I was only a 'kid'... A silly girl
who he had no time for only days before.
"I don't understand.... How can you say that to me? You don't
even know me..." I murmured. "I just can't believe you...
It's just not possible..."
Mamoru smiled and played with a strand of my hair.
"It's true, I don't know you... But everyday at the arcade,
I watched a beautiful golden haired girl... An angel...
She was always full of laughter and happiness, always chatty
and so vibrant. And I wondered... What is it that makes her
live so confidently? To be able to have so much trust in
the world? I wanted to know what it was that attracted so
many people into your life."
I listened, shocked that he had been watching me for so long
and I hadn't even noticed he was ever there.
"Then I had the dream," he continued. "And you were there.
Still so happy and truly like an angel. I can't tell you
what I was told, but I knew then that it was okay for me
to be in love with you. Even if I wasn't supposed to be,
I knew I would still love you."
I was speechless. Mamoru smiled and kissed me on the cheek.
I sat there motionless as I let it all sink in.
"I don't know how you could feel so much love for me....
How? I just.. I just don't understand.." I mumbled.
"When you know, you know," he smiled softly and gently
touched my cheek with his hand. "You feel so much happiness
and content when you're with someone you love. I can't
express this feeling in words. It just fills your heart
and you know it's right."
I gazed into Mamoru's comforting blue eyes. My mind whizzed
through a hundred different doubts and fears. I closed
my eyes and tried to shut out my mind.
"I just listen to my heart," he whispered, leaning closer
to my face.
I breathed slowly and tried to listen to my heart. What did
I want? Did I love him? No, I couldn't ask what my feelings
were. All I had to do was to accept them. To let those emotions
fill my whole entire body. I opened my eyes and felt Mamoru's
lips brushing against my cheek.
Was it right?
I pulled away a little and looked into his eyes.
Was it wrong?
I reached up and brushed his fringe out of his eyes.
Was I happy?
My hand slipped down and brushed his cheek.
Content?
I kissed him softly on the cheek.
Did I want to be with him?
As I glanced up and back, my eyes fell onto his lips.
What did I feel?
I let my lips touched his gently, as I closed my eyes.
And then I knew what it was that I felt.
It felt right.
I was happy.
And content.
I wanted to be with him forever.
I was in love with him.
