/// "I want you to close your eyes." He ordered softly, his tone was light, "I've gota surprise for you." With

that he winked.

I laughed a little, nervous but at he same time excited. I obediently closed my eyes entrusting him

to lead me safely to where he was taking me. But somehow not only was I trusting him with that, I was trusting

him with something deeper: my heart and everything I had to give. He led me outside, telling me to walk slowly.

His gentle hands enveloped my small ones pulling me lightly along the way, and not once had I tripped. My heart was racing

and at the same time all I could think about was him. Anticipation. The birds were chirping softly in the air, a sweet

tune wafting over the area, and the soft, lush grass beneath tickled my toes playfully. He let go of my hand, to

encircle his arms around my waist, his chin resting lightly on the crook of my neck. My breath got stuck in my throat as I felt

him so close to me, his hard chest pressing against my back. I could smell his scent, I could feel his breathing...and I wanted more...

"Go ahead and open your eyes."////

RAINDROPS GLISTEN - CHAPTER 2b - "Motionless, still, your hand intertwined with mine"

.

Usagi opened her eyes and gasped, quickly turned around to face Mamoru.

"Its..." Words failed to reach her mouth.

She turned back around, standing there gazing around utterly speechless, afraid to move, afraid to breathe for

what if she suddenly awoke from this dream? It seemed too great, too wonderful. As though she had died and gone to

heaven, or opened a door into an enchanted kingdom where beauty knew no bounds.

Lush green hills surrounded her, the green so rich, so earthy, aching to be touched. Crowds of flowers showered

the hills in a rainbow of colors, sparkling back effort sly as the sun beamed down.

She bravely bent down and picked a flower from the ground, her fingers clasping the smooth stem, she brought

the bud to her nose, sniffing in its intoxicating aroma. This was definitely no dream at all.

Usagi turned around in Mamoru's arms to face him, quite aware of how close they were. His arm's tightened

unconsciously around her waist in a protective manner,

"I was hoping you'd feel this way." Mamoru tucked a glistening honey strand behind her ear.

Usagi couldn't help but blush.

She lay out on the soft carpet of grass, Mamoru by her side, as the gentle wind combed over the grass and slid

among their face like velvet. She absently played with a flower, her eyes closed, drinking in the romantic setting.

"I knew you would like this." Mamoru admitted with a grin.

Usagi turned on her side to face him, "Oh really?" She mocked.

"Sure did."

"I don't believe you."

Mamoru mocked a gasp, and Usagi chuckled at it, "Why ever not?" he asked.

"Because if you really knew...you'd know that I don't like it at all." She huffed, turning back on her back, teasing him.

Mamoru eyes widened a bit in shock, was she really serious...had he really disappointed her?

"But that I _love_ it." She added, putting a light emphasis on 'love'. With that she stuck out her tongue.

"You little minx." He scorned playfully, leaning over to tickle her sides. Usagi yelped, taken by surprise and

laughed joyfully into the carrying air.

"Mamo--," laughter still erupting from her throat. "--ru!" she finished, still giggling, unaware of how close they had

become. But she was aware when his tickling hands turned into caressing hands as it softly began to rub where he had

tickled lightly brushing her sides, sending shivers down her spine. When she looked into this eyes this time they held

something different then before, this time it was a mixture of longing and lust. Temptation _he_ felt he couldn't refuse.

'Temptation _I_ didn't want to refuse,' she thought absently in the corner of her muffled mind. Her heard was pounding

like a waterfall inside her, her face heating, her throat achingly becoming dry. His face was so close to hers... any closer

and he could kiss her. Her face drew hotter, her ears tingling with heat. Mamoru must've been thinking something a long

the same lines for she soon began to see his cheeks turning red.

"You're blushing you know," she whispered, breathing irregularly at the emotion welling up in her throat, her chest

rising and falling heavily.

"So are you," he replied, his voice a little shaky.

Without another moment to think she could feel his breath dance upon her lips, soon followed by the soft flesh

of his lips meeting with hers. It was a light brush of the lips, a butterfly kiss you could say, as Mamoru seemed to test

the waters. 'No kiss had ever compared. No kiss _could_ ever compare as to the soft honey of her lips,' he thought

hazily.

She could taste his scent on his lips, thoroughly taken over by it. She felt his hands gently caressing her hips as

his empty hand played in her golden hair. Swirls of red and passion painted beneath her eyelids. Passion and love for

the one she was with.

He pulled slowly because of lack of air, despite what his body was telling him. As the sweet blonde angel layed

in his arms, he pulled her closer to his body, kissing her head.

Mamoru opened the door to his condo, depositing his silver keys back into this pockets, sighing softly into the

air. The place seemed so dull, and lifeless compared to his evening with Usagi, his princess, his angel. He turned the

light switch on, when his doorbell buzzed. Striding back over to the door he opened it, moving aside to let his friend,

Motoki , in.

"What're you doing here?" He asked, walking back over to the living room to sit on the sofa, Motoki following behind.

"Whats more the question is, 'What do you think you're doing?'"

"What?" Mamoru asked, getting irritated.

Motoki ran a hand through his bleached hair, his brown eyes looking down at this friend. "You've been completely

ignoring your studies for the past week, I want to know what's going on. Is it a girl?"

Mamoru said nothing, averting his gaze. He knew he had been slacking off, but only a little, right? It must've

been more if even Motoki could see.

"Its a girl." Motoki said, confirming it himself. "I thought you said you were through dati--"

"--Don't ask." Mamoru interrupted.

"She must really be something then."

"She is..." he admitted quietly, more to himself.

"I just don't want you to get side tracked, I don't want you to throw away all these hard years of work to become a

doctor. Your exams are right around the corner, Mamoru, have you even began to study?"

Mamoru said nothing again.

Motoki sighed, looking up. "I can't believe this."

"Whats it to you," He asked a bit harshly.

"Whats it to--" he pointed at himself, yelling incredulously, "Whats it to me?! Mamoru i'm your friend, i'm trying to make sure you

don't do the wrong thing just because you're too high up in the clouds to realize. Don't let her side track you."

Mamoru stood up, "Don't let her side track me? Who do you think you are? Shes...shes..." his words began to

fade out of his mouth, as he soon began to realize that she _was_ a distraction to him. But he didn't want to think of

that, he _could_ do both, he _could_ fall in love, he _could_ become a successful doctor. And he _could_ do both and he would show

Motoki.

"Motoki... you need to leave." He said gesturing to the door, upset.

Motoki sighed, walking out the door, frustrated, shaking his head.
