*** Hi all! I know some people have been waiting a long time for me to finish this story,
and so I apologize for not getting this chapter out sooner. I planned to go ahead and write
the whole conclusion in part six.. but it was going too slowly, so I thought I'd let you
read what's here. Gomen! The conclusion should be done pretty soon! ***
(Oh, and, yes.. this chapter takes place *afterwards*, in the bed.. ^_~)
--Part 6--
Seiya stroked her hair as he held the slightly trembling girl close to him, her eyes barely
open. His chest as well as her own rose and fell in rhythm. Their two bodies were still
entangled together among the sheets, and glistened with sweat. He pressed a long kiss to her
forehead.
A faint smile crossed Usagi's lips as she sighed in contentment. She draped an arm across his
waist, nuzzling into his chest lazily. Her long golden hair was all around them, clinging to
her skin and Seiya's, mingling with his own raven locks. For a long while they lay silently,
lazing in each other's warmth.
Seiya closed his eyes; he could feel her breath against his chest, as her fingers played
aimlessly with his hair and hers. "You know what?" she spoke softly. "I think this is my
favorite part."
His lips moved in a barely audible agreement; he felt like if he spoke too loudly or spoke at
all he would break the spell and she would disappear from his dream too soon. Every moment
with her was his favorite. He let his fingers trace along her shoulder and down her arm, the
top of her hair tickling his nose.
Usagi broke the silence after a while. "Seiya... there were no cockroaches, were there."
A silence came over the room again, falling heavily on the couple that lay together in each
other's arms. After a long moment Seiya replied.
"No. I came here alone."
She shifted her body to look into his eyes. "I knew. Your eyes betrayed you. ...I always got
it, you know."
"What do you mean?"
"When you said goodbye a year and a half ago, the other girls told me I didn't 'get it', but
inside I truly did."
"...I'm sorry," she said.
"For what?"
"I'm sorry."
"Odango, stop!" He instinctively pulled her closer to him. A tear rolled down her nose and
dropped onto his chest. "You've done more than I could ever ask. But this is the way things
should be. You love him, don't you?"
Another tear rolled to the tip of her nose. She whispered, "Yes."
He wiped away the tear with his thumb. "Then be happy."
She nodded against him. "But... you'll be alright, Seiya?"
"That's not for you to worry about."
He was smiling at her with loving eyes. She didn't want him to be lonely, yet she felt
powerless to help him. And it killed her to know his hurt was her fault. "I wish you didn't
have to be alone," she whispered. "but..." But Mamo-chan...
He gave her a crooked grin as mischief danced in his eyes. "What do mean? I'm not alone.
You're still mine for the rest of the night, you know." She blushed. Seiya pulled the sheet up
to her shoulder and brushed the hair from her face. His expression softened. "Just stay with
me a little while longer."
She hesitatantly laid her head on his chest, finally relaxing into his embrace again, although
her thoughts and emotions were drifting farther away. The moment of passion they had shared
earlier was slowly simmering and dying. As much as she loved Seiya, she still couldn't make
herself *love* him in the way he wanted.
Seiya felt her slipping away from him. She was still there inside his arms, but her heart was
elsewhere. *It was never meant to be, anyway...* He closed his eyes, wishing for time to stop,
knowing it was selfish...
-------------
Usagi's eyes fluttered open at the caress of a kiss on her cheek. Her head on the pillow, she
lay under the sheets with her hair blanketing the bed around her. She looked up to see Seiya
sitting beside her, shirtless but wearing his pants. He half-grinned. "Mornin', sleepyhead."
She lifted her head with a little bewilderment. The only light she could see came from a lamp
on the other side of the room. "I-is it morning already?"
"It's just past midnight," he told her. "You won't get in trouble with your parents for being
gone, will you?"
She propped herself up on an elbow, pulling the sheets with her as she realized she still wore
nothing underneath. Where had she left her clothes? *That's right, they're still in the
dryer.*
"No.. Mom and Dad shouldn't mind. I've spent nights h-" she cut herself off as she almost said
'I've spent nights here before.' She had, but only a few times. "I've spent nights at
Rei-chan's before, and they don't seem to care."
"I see." Her quick cover-up didn't slip past him, but he made no indication that he'd noticed.
She spotted her clothes folded neatly at his feet; he pushed them toward her as she sat up.
"I'm guessing you want these back." The look in his eyes was teasing, he seemed to say
'There's no point in hiding a secret I already know'. Usagi blushed, suddenly feeling very
self-conscious of his eyes on her as she accepted the clothes. Finally he looked away modestly
as she pulled on her panties and bra. She struggled with the clasp behind her back. *Why do my
hands have to tremble like this?*
Suddenly she felt his hands against hers as he took the clasp and did it for her. She sucked
in a small breath his electric touch on her skin. He drew nearer to her, and unwittingly they
drifted toward each other. Her body told her this was what she wanted, while her heart
screamed in protest. Their lips met and melted together in a kiss...
