Mirrors of Surprise
"Seiya can we talk?" Seiya closed her book around her finger as she looked up into the green eyes of Yaten.
"Sure what's up?"
"Actually Seiya that's exactly what I intended on asking you."
"I don't follow." Seiya shifted in her seat the confusion written all over her face.
"You really don't have to play stupid with me Seiya, I saw you with Serenity.'
Seiya jumped from her chair interrupting Yaten. "It's not what you think!"
"So your saying I didn't her you tell Serenity that you love her?" Yaten leaned forward when Seiya sank back into her chair in defeat. "My eyes MUST have been deceiving me when I saw you kiss her too."
"Alright, alright! Well then if you know why aren't you running to the Queen and getting me kicked out of court?"
Yaten looked at Seiya with a shocked expression on her face. "Do you really think I would do such a thing? What type of person would I be if I did that huh?"
"You mean you were never planning on telling on us?"
"No! I figured you'd just want to be able to talk about it." Yaten sat down on the end of the bed, her long silver hair curling into the folds of silk. "Cause I figured you carried this secret for long enough by yourself and thought you'd want to unburden your heart."
Seiya looked up with a smile. The admiration shining in her dark blue eyes. "Serenity it worth the burden."
"You really do love her don't you?"
"More than anything. I was hoping these years away from her would ease the pain but."
"You should have said something to me or Taiki, you know we would never say anything. To be honest, I can't believe you kept it from us for so long."
Seiya just nodded, occasionally scanning the room. "It wasn't easy."
"I can imagine." Yaten shifted on the bed. "So, why did you two never tell the Queen?"
"I don't know, by the time we truly realized our feelings for each other the Queen had already told Sere about her betrothal so Sere thought it would be useless."
"Well it's good to know what she thought, but what about you Seiya? It was your relationship too."
"I wanted to tell everyone! I thought if we told them we would be able to be together forever."
Yaten stood and started to move toward the door. "I almost hate to say this, but you still have time."
"But Yaten, she is married!"
With her hand on the doorknob Yaten turned slightly. "As long as there are lights in the stars the chance will always be there. Think about it." Before anymore could be said Yaten walked out of the room leaving Seiya to her thoughts.
"There's still time."

Serenity leaned over the table, upside down pieces of mirror all over the table in front of her. Frantically she maneuvered the pieces trying to find its correct position. Tears fell form her eyes when she realized the impossibility of the task.
Looking up she was still surrounded by shelves and shelves of books. She supposed she chose the library because nobody would ever expect to find her here, but it went deeper then that. This was always where she and Seiya would go when they wanted to be alone.
Serenity would always pick the book and they would curl up in the corner and Seiya would read it until she would fall asleep.
Shaking her head from the memories, Serenity looked back down at the mirror. Serenity picked a piece and positioned it and repeated until she felt a sharp pain in her finger.
Serenity looked at the small fragment of mirror that had pierced her skin. Carefully she removed it but before she could do something about the cut; a hand came from behind her and pulled her finger to their lips.
Serenity blushed when she faced Seiya. "I was trying to fix the mirror.it fell off my." Serenity's line of babbling ended when Seiya leaned in and kissed her. The shock starting to fade Serenity wrapped her arms around Seiya's neck pulling her closer.
Seiya slide her tongue along Serenity's lips, almost giddy when Serenity opened enough to give her entry and slide her tongue along hers. Before she could go any further Seiya stopped herself and slowly pulled away from the embrace.
"Seiya." Serenity smiled and leaned forward running her hands along Seiya's shoulders.
"I'm sorry Sere, I couldn't help myself." With a quirky grin Seiya took Serenity's hand in hers and pulled her toward the door. "I want to talk with you."
"Can't we just talk here?" Serenity waved to her surroundings in the library before she was pulled from the room.
"Nope not enough privacy." Seiya said with a laugh.
"But nobody ever goes in there! What do you mean by not enough priv.Oooh." Serenity giggled when she realized the implication and allowed Seiya to pull her along. "But I thought you didn't want things to change."
"That was before I realized we still have time." Seiya stopped in front of her door and turned and looked at her with a smile and pulled her into the room locking the door after she was pulled in. Leaning Serenity against the door. Seiya pushed up against her, her hands running up the side of her waist and along her breasts. "God I've missed you."
Lean down Seiya leaned in and kissed Serenity's neck her hands moving back and forth from her chest to her back. Serenity practically crooned under Seiya's touch as her hands sought to learn Seiya's figure again.
Serenity was startled when Seiya quickly pulled back and turned her back to her. "I have to stop before I don't get out what I have to say." Serenity nodded as she slipped her hand into Seiya's and pulled her toward the edge of the bed.
"Okay what do you want to talk to me about?" The two sat on the edge of the bed their hands cupped together between them.
"I want to tell them." Seiya looked away from her knowing that if she looked at her when she talked she'd never get it all out. "I want to tell them all about us. I can't keep this hidden anymore."
"What about what you said earlier?" Serenity tilted her head in confusion as she tried to seek out Seiya's eyes.
"That was before I realized that we never even tried it from the other angle. We gave up before it even happened, Sere. We never really even gave US a chance. I can't not have at least tried."
"But I thought we decided we weren't going to tell them."
"No Sere, you decided. You never even asked me what I wanted. I went along with what you wanted because you asked me to. I mean at the time it seemed like the right thing to do. I've heard the saying 'If you love someone let them go' and I figured I loved you enough to let you go and marry the Prince. But the more I think about it and what I wanted, I just feel if we would have just told your mother we would have been the two that got married that day, not you and Endymion."
"You know as well as I do she would never have accepted us." Serenity stood up and stood before Seiya.
"And why not Sere? She accepted Micheru and Haruka. Why not her own daughter?"
"Because Seiya, she has more of an expectation for me. I am the one she needed to form this alliance with Earth."
"Even if it cost her own daughter her happiness? Come on Sere! She had to know you'd grow up and have your own mind. It's not like the relations between Earth and the Moon weren't good before you married him Sere! Did you ever think to just TELL your mom and see what she said? No you were more worried about disappointing her weren't you! I mean what would you mom say if you told her you were in love with me huh?" Seiya got up from the bed and stormed over to the balcony slamming the doors behind her.
Serenity stood in silence before turning and leaving the room. There was no time to waste on this she had to get ready for the ball tonight. If this was the way Seiya wanted to play it. So be it.
To Be Continued.?
