The next morning after dropping Harley off at kinder Garden Mamoru walked to work, as it was conveniently only two or three blocks away. There was a light breeze that flicked through his bangs, ever so gently twirling them around as the sun warmed his face, tanning his skin slightly. He walked into the main reception area with a large smile on his face as he walked over to the receptionist to get his patients records. "Morning Summer, Hope you have a nice day" He winked to the stunned woman before walking off, a small skip in his step till he jumped up and clicked his heels before heading over to the lift.

Urwa Ami stood blinking, ignoring the loud thud that indicated a regular patient had passed out and rushed over to Winterie Summer. "Did he just?" She looked, wide eyed at the shocked woman who slowly nodded her head, causing her multicoloured hair to bob up and down besides her cheeks. "He's in a good mood.. Do you think... He met a?" The woman with Red, orange and yellow blond hair turned to Ami who nodded, a smile that paled in comparison to Mamoru's spreading over her face. "He met a friend of mine.... She was babysitting his son because he couldn't get anyone else.. his sister recommended her" Ami trailed off and then took her files and walked off humming happily, making note to ring Rei during her next break. "Strange.. He never smiles" Summer shrugged, dismissing it then carried on with her work. And it was true, Mamoru never usually did smile, but this was the first day in which he'd have an endless smile that came regularly.

Mamoru picked up Harley a short while later and was greeted with a bear-cub hug( bear hug but not quite a hug because Harley's too small) and a picture being wafted in his face. "Daddy we had an art lesson. I drew Usagi! Look" Mamoru took the offending piece of paper and smiled, yup he'd definitely tried to draw Usagi. There was a woman with the meatball and spaghetti hairstyle he'd seen her with. She was wearing a dress with what he presumed was meant to be a golden hem, with a silver crown between the two odangos. she had two silvery wings, bright blue eyes with silver flecks and what he hoped were two pink lips. "Looks just like her" Mamoru grinned and scooped up Harley as Naru came across.

"Hey, Mamoru. Have a nice day at work?" Mamoru nodded with a grin. Naru had been a good friend of his for a long time and for quite some time she'd also fancied him too "Yeah, had a great day. How's he been?". Naru grinned and pinched Harley's cheek as he squirmed closer to Mamoru "He's been great, as per Usual." Harley gave Mamoru a toothy grin, as Mamoru returned it and looked back to Naru "Although that Usagi girl has made a very big impression on him. Hasn't stopped talking about her since". Mamoru raised an ebony eyebrow at the boy who just grinned up at him, blushing slightly at all the attention he was getting. "Oh he has, has he?" Mamoru laughed happily as Harley wriggled out of his hold and hid behind Mamoru's leg, obviously thinking of the saying 'Ignorance is bliss'. Naru took a moment to look at Mamoru before nodding and turning to walk away. "She seems to have made a good impression on you too. Maybe you should consider having her baby-sit the both of you. See you tomorrow, Harley" She waved over her shoulder to leave a blushing Mamoru who slowly snapped back to reality and picked up Harley and began his trip home.

"So you like Usak..gi?" Mamoru looked down at the small boy besides him as he pulled out frozen lasagne from the freezer. "Eww! Do we have to eat that? Can't we get Usagi to cook?" Harley stuck out his tongue and looked at the food in disgust, why his father insisted on buying food from that horrible super mart he didn't know. Mamoru shook his head with a sigh as he popped the frozen food into the oven and set it. "Usagi is probably busy, and we can't just go rushing to her for food. We wouldn't be Bachelors for long that way" He winked and sent Harley off to take a shower while he sat down and watched TV.

The phone rang and Mamoru's hand darted out, picking up the reciever. "Moshi Yoshi?" He smirked to himself as he heard a giggle over the line that sounded much to him like bells. "Mamoru?" Usagi, ah, sweet Usagi.. Rei must had given her his number earlier that day. "Did I leave my bag there? I can't find mine and it has some of my work in it" There was a think over the line as she threw pillows around, searching for her pen that had slid down the back of her sofa. "Is it brown, suede, with one strap and a big large flap with a little yellow rabbit?" Another thud caused him to grimace as he heard a groan over the line. "Yeah that's it" She grinned and stood up brushing herself off and glaring at the pen, "Hmm, no. Haven't seen it". He smirked as she growled out "Baka" over the line and flopped back onto the sofa. "Want me to come drop it off?" Mamoru smirked slightly, his brain working over time as he thought of cheesey lines he could use once he got there. "Er no, I'll come get it, if you're not busy. I need to get out of the house and away from this plan or I'll go nuts" She leapt up and tied her hair up into her odangos in record speed.

The wind rustled around her as she fixed up said her and Mamoru blinked "Sure... Hey do you maybe wanna stay for dinner or something? Harley's been talking about you non-stop all day and it'll give him something new to talk about tomorrow" He grinned 'Well done Chiba, You're a genius'. There was a pause of hesitation before the chirpy reply of "Sounds, great. I'll head straight over" Came and she hung up. "WOOT!" Mamoru flung a clenched fist in the air as Harley dashed in wearing his spiderman pants and nothing else "Usagi's coming for dinner, Harley". This was followed by another woot from Harley and the two began to jump up and down before stopping and staring at each other. "You're not going to wear that are you?" Harley looked at Mamoru who face vaulted with a sigh and a large sweat drop appeared. "It's better then what you're wearing" Mamoru narrowed his eyes as he was cast a glare. "Put a sweater on, you look like a doctor" Mamoru chuckled and nodded, then disappeared off into his room leaving Harley to clamber into the bathroom again.

Thirty minutes later Mamoru answered the door with a suave smile as he pulled it open for Usagi. "Your bag is just through there and tonight, Madame, I am serving lasagne" She giggled at his phoney French accent as he stepped back and bowed. His black trousers, white button up shirt, black tie and black sleeveless, V-neck knitted jumper complemented his ebony hair well, giving him a groomed but still boyish look. There was a hint of mischief in his eyes as he straightened up and closed the door then flopped onto the couch. "Usagi!" Harley came running through in a pair of beige shorts that reached above his knees and a navy sweater, a large grin on his face. Usagi bent down and gave him a hug, picking up as she stood up and took a seat on the couch, sat on the opposite side of the couch.

"So see any disgusting things today?" Usagi turned large baby blue eyes to Mamoru, unaware of the pounding in the left side of his chest or the blood that was flowing through his veins heating up. He turned his own azure eyes to hers and grinned playfully "Oh yeah. This guy came in with a shark latched to his calf, but luckily it only got a mouthful of fat.. Oh, oh, oh And this woman came in her arm hanging half off" Usagi grimaced, turning slightly pale before flashing him a grin. "I heard from Rei that you might be needing a babysitter soon, that right?" Mamoru nodded and chuckled as Harley leapt off the couch and started dancing, kicking his legs about and cheering. "Yeah.. Looks like you're.. " Mamoru paused, his grin falling as he sniffed the air. "Smells like.." Usagi watched Mamoru catch himself in the middle of a curse before jumping over the back of the couch "Shi.. ".

Mamoru pulled the oven door down and glared at the burnt Italian meal as a small puff of smoke drifted out of the oven. He leant over and pulled the dish slightly out of the oven using oven gloves. Usagi bounced in a second later and leaned over him, her weight resting gently on her shoulder as she peered at the lasagne. "Look, why don't I make something to eat? I'll have a look in the fridge and throw something together and you can take a rest, Dr. Chiba" She nudged his arms and the lasagne slid back into the over before she took a hold of his collar and pulled him up. "Out!" She held one hand out, for the gloves with the other pointing at the doorway. She had a slightly determined look on her face and it was now that he noticed her attire. She was wearing black cargo pants that tied at the ankle with a pastel pink halter top that tied behind her neck. Her hair was in the odangos again and she was just short of a foot shorter then him. "Ok, Ok, Odango Atama. Don't get you panties in a twist" He rolled his eyes and dropped the mits in her hand.

"Who said I was wearing any, Baka?" She winked then flashed a flirtasious smile as he stood gawping at her. "What? Is there something on my face?" She blinked innocently and cocked her head gently' Obviously it's going to take some time to get him out of here.. wonder when he last.. Whoa there Usagi, don't soil that innocent little mind of yours.. pfft, innocent mind my butt' She looked at him for a moment before turning around to the fridge and bending at the waist. "Out, Baka!.. or you'll never find out whether I'm joking or not" A small smile spread over her lips and she shook her head with a sigh as she heard him dart out of the room "Men!"

Anyway time for the usual Baka talk. Well my Baka rubbed it in my face about fancying him so I got a point back over him with a little witty remark (I think it was fairly witty)

Meg:"You're weird at times, really weird" Baka:"Yeah but that's why you like me, I bet" Meg:"Er yeah ok" Baka:"Well if it's not that it's one of my other charm you're attracted to" Meg:"You call Infurriation, Idiocy, Pervertion and Big-headed charms?" Baka:"Shut up!"

Not sure if pervertion is a word but I couldn't think of another word for it at the time. And I have my baka's new cell phone number and he literally begged for mine hehe. I'm in heaven and I'm at my uncle's surprise 50th birthday party tomorrow night
