2 Chapter Two: Everything makes sense, Well it should

The next day I met the two of them at school and they were still acting all on the defensive towards me, especially Michiru, they could at least try to hide their feelings if they don't want me to know what is going on right now. "Hiya Guys", I called to them.

"Hey Setsuna", they breathed in unison, both smirking at this but quickly covering it to stop me from saying anything…what don't they think I can notice these little exchanges?

"So you guys have a good time alone last night?" I remarked sarcastically.

"Yeah it was great, us all hanging out together, I always enjoy it," replied Haruka, "why, didn't you have a fun time Setsuna-chan?"

"Erm yeah I guess so"…not the fact that you two wanted to be all over each other though, I thought.

"Penny for your thoughts…what is going on in that head of yours?" asked Haruka. Michiru remained incredibly quiet, which made me even more on edge, the fact that they just weren't acting themselves just didn't help the situation at all. It made it all the worse that I somehow had to confront them and find out what was going on when I wasn't around, and if they dared deny it I was sure gonna be mad at them.

"Look I am just going come out and say this to you guys, there is no use in pretending I don't want to know…but there have been to many secrets kept lately," I rambled out as quickly as I could.

…Oh goddess! She knows, she knows, Michiru thought…

"What the hell is up with the two of you? Don't even try to cover it up if it was any more obvious lately I would have guessed the whole world would know by now. I know the two of you have something more than friendship going on and it would be best for all of us if you told me the exact truth otherwise I don't see the point in is being friends at all," I finished at that, looking at their shocked and confused expressions. Michiru frowned at Haruka then slowly nodded her head at the Senshi of the sky; clearly indicating their ploy to hide this from everyone had ended. Haruka breathed out deeply and began.

"Well there you go Setsuna, you have gone and figured it out. I guess we should have done much better at trying to hide our relationship from everyone, but it is so hard when we want each other. For goddess' sake Haruka-chan just get on with it, and miss out all the soppy crap Yes we are together as a couple, but it is all very new to us, so don't think we have been hiding the truth from you for ages I knew it please know that we never intended to hurt you by not talking about it, but we never knew how you would react. We knew we wanted to be more than friends, but it has taken us so long to actually have something, and we are on very unsteady ground right now. We know we don't have to tell you to keep this quiet for now, until we are ready for the others to know, it make take a long time…and we certainly aren't ready for people at school or home to know yet."

"I can't say I am the least bit surprised, I have figured for a little while that you two had something I just couldn't quite put my finger on it…don't you have anything to say Michi? You have kept far too quiet up until now!" I queried.

"I guess I just knew Haruka could handle telling you a lot better than I can, even though she isn't good with her emotions, you two are closer and I thought you would take it better if it came from her rather than me," Michiru sighed, and looked towards her new lover. Haruka ran a hand through her sandy bangs Her hair is so sexy, okay where they hell did that come from? Ahem"

"Okay, I guess we have a lot more to discuss, and I bet the two of you do too…I am going to go now. I need some time alone to think about this…I am fine with it, it's just having to actually hear it is very different from my past assumptions. So I left them standing on the quad…I could feel their eyes on my back, they felt hurt. They can't expect me to just deal with this whether I am their best friend or not, and I don't know why but something I can't quite figure out is seriously bugging me about this new knowledge of the ones I care for most in the world. I hope in time this will all come together, and we will sort out what is going to happen between us all, not that I suspect they are bothered in the slightest whether I am completely happy about it or not.

That's it for right now…you like? Please don't flame me, I don't see any reason why you should, but I know I don't deserve to be shouted at. All your comments are welcome, I want to know whether I should continue with this soppy piece of crap or not. Mako-chan, a.k.a. Rei-Knight. 01/21/02
