Ronin Warriors
and
Sailor Moon
in...
"You kiss by the book..." she said, breathless.
"I'm sorry," was all he could say.
"S'okay." was all she could manage.
"I think I've been wanting to do that ever since you got here." he then said with a slight smile.
"What's wrong?" Sage asked.
"I thought Mia meant so much to you..."
"She still does, as does Darien to you." Sage finished.
Though the two had broken out of their kiss, they were still in each other's arms.
Raye gripped the material of Sage's shirt, for fear of what she would say would cause her to lose what she was so close to having. She also noted how tightly Sage was holding her. She could feal his heart beating rapidly against his chest.
'What do you think you're doing?!' Raye's logical mind kicked in. 'Draped over some guy like a cheap two dollar hooker? Is that how you want to be thought of?'
'But, she loves Sage!' Raye's heart protested to her mind. 'Why else would she open her heart to him?'
'You may have a point,' Raye's mind argued, 'But how do she know he feels the same way?'
At this point, Raye flinched as doubt forced itself into her mind. She had always been confident about anything she did - up until now. "Sage," she said, gripping his shirt even tighter. "You're just giving up on Mia?"
Sage's face was buried in Raye's hair. He could feel her heart beating rapidly against his chest along with the fear and doubt that resided there. In fact, Raye's emotions mirrored his own.
"Raye," he began, as she broke away.
"Sage," she interrupted, forcing her voice to stay even. "You need closure."
The two soldiers faces were still just inches away from each other. As violet eyes met clear blue ones, Raye was surprised to find that all the hesitation in Sage's eyes had disappeared.
"I have closure." Sage replied, stepping closer to her again.
At that moment, all of Raye's doubts started to melt away. 'Is this the feeling Serena talks about all the time?' she thought numbly. 'Is this really love?' Looking into Sage's eyes, she found her answer.
As Sage slipped his arms around her waist, Raye brushed his bangs out of his face so that she could see both of his eyes.
"Sage," she said as she placed both of her hands on opposite sides of his face, gazing into his eyes. "I'm not Mia."
Sage nodded, letting his forehead touch hers. "Yeah," he said. "And I'm not Darien."
In that moment, they held each other in a tight embrace, caring only about the person they loved the most - each other.
Looking on at the two newfound lovers, Byauken nodded his
head in solemn approval and trotted down the steps to join the others. Almost everything was as it should be.
