Side Notes: Short little drabble I wrote some time ago and forgot I had. Shoujo-ai implications and what-not. I really love this pairing, which is Usagi/Rei incase it wasn't clear enough in the drabble itself. It's in a first person pov, which I normally abhor but for some reason it just seemed to fit what I was looking for. I couldn't think of a title, so it's subject to change.
Protect
I don't know why it always has to be like this. Why you and not me. It should be me, always me. But you, like everyone else, says it is to protect me. Aren't I supposed to be the one who's protecting you? Aren't I the soldier of love and justice? But where is the justice in letting you die for me Rei-chan? Where?
I can't count the times that it has worried me, the thought of losing you over and over, if not forever. Whenever we fought, I was always afraid for you, afraid of losing you. I couldn't stand to be without you, but yet, you wouldn't know that. Because I couldn't tell you. Everytime I wanted too, something happened or something came up.
I thought I lost you for good back then, when you all protected me. I felt my heart break when you fell, seemingly lifeless to the ground before me. I rushed to your side, praying that there would be a way to save you. But there wasn't, at least not yet. Why did you have to be the last one to leave me Rei-chan?
Why couldn't you have been first, because then I wouldn't have had to linger on the thought of living without you. You were the last one then, and you were the last one now. You did it to protect me, I know. And I can't fault you for that, because it was your duty as Senshi to protect me. But still, it never stopped my heart from aching.
You can't begin to imagine the indescribable happiness I felt when you all appeared before me at the end of the final battle. I was sure that I had lost you, all of you, for good. But again you surprise me. You always do. And one day, I promise, I'll return the favor.
