I meant to post this a few days ago, but I ran out of time, and didn't even get to finish it. Oops.

"It takes two to tango?" Usagi snorted. "I can't believe you still use that old phrase." (1)

"It's a classic," Mamoru retorted, crossing his arms.

Silence.

"So, what's up?" Mamoru asked casually, attempting to start up a conversation.

Usagi just looked at him.

"Hey, I'm just trying to be nice! After all, we are going to be stuck in here for the whole weekend!" Mamoru exclaimed.

Usagi's jaw dropped. "The WHOLE WEEKEND!" She grabbed Mamoru's shoulders and shook him. "The whole weekend? What!"

Mamoru removed her hands from his shoulder. "Yes, the whole weekend. As you know, Jewels isn't the biggest store, so not many people are needed to run it. As it is, I'm the only one available this weekend. The other employees are either sick with that stomach virus going around, or aren't scheduled to work " He said. Usagi just listened to all this.

"And the owner knows that I'm trustworthy and responsible enough to run the store by myself." Mamoru finished. " Plus, he's on vacation." He added.

Usagi scooted over to the far side of the room again.

"Oh, what, now you're mad at me?" Mamoru asked angrily.

Usagi glared at him. "Well, it is your fault that I'm stuck in here!"

"It's just as much your fault as it is mine! You're the one who came back here, you're the one who made me lose my key! Actually...it's completely your fault!" Mamoru said.

Usagi just turned her back to him, and pretended to fall asleep.

Mamoru looked at his watch. "It's not even 10, yet! I know you're not really asleep, Meatball Head."

Usagi sat up. "Don't call me Meatball Head! And how dare you assume that I'm not asleep!"

She blushed as Mamoru smirked.

"Well, I guess that clears that up." Mamoru said. "Usagi, you're not very good at pretending to be asleep." He shook his head.

"Well, I just didn't want to talk to you." Usagi said, folding her arms across her chest.

"And yet, here we are." Mamoru said, replicating her moves.

"Jerk. You just twist every little thing I say!" Usagi said.

Things went silent ago for a few minutes.

"Anyway, how are we supposed to survive? I mean, we'll be in here for a whole weekend. And the only food I have on me are the usual three candy bars and a soda in my purse." Usagi said, with a pause. "That's enough for tonight, but what are you supposed to eat? And what are we supposed to eat the rest of the time?"

Mamoru looked at her. "Ah, you shouldn't worry about that. The employee fridge and water cooler is behind there," he said, pointing to a dark corner of the room, where Usagi noticed there was a door. "And the employee bathroom is also there."

"Whew. I would hate to starve to death!" Usagi said. "And don't even make a fat joke," she said quickly to Mamoru.

"Why, I would never think of such a thing!" Mamoru said with mock indignation. 'Drat, there goes that joke.' He thought to himself. 'Must think of another.'

Usagi smiled, not catching the sarcasm. "Maybe you're not such a bad guy after all." She stood up. "Well, I'm going to go raid the fridge. Come with?" She questioned.

"Ah, no thanks, MH." Mamoru waved his hand.

"MH? Getting pretty familiar, aren't we? Already a new nick name." Usagi said with her right eyebrow raised.

Mamoru grinned. "Naw, it's just a twist on the old one. MH stands for Meatball Head."

Usagi groaned. "Oh, honestly." She walked through the door and pulled it open. "Get a life, loser. Or at least think of something more interesting than 'MH'. Come on." She wretched the door shut behind her.

Mamoru was appalled. "She really doesn't like me, does she?" He asked himself. "Well, of course she doesn't, I'm always calling her names." He said in a quieter voice.

He sat there, thinking, until Usagi burst happily through the door, arms laden with food and soda.

"I've got soda, chips, cake-left over from a birthday party, I assume- and plenty of sandwich stuff!" Usagi said with the goofiest grin on her face. She sat down on a cushion beside Mamoru and spread the food out.

Mamoru grabbed a small bag of chips and a Diet Dr. Pepper. He crunched on his chips as Usagi crunched on nearly every other food item. "Usagi," he said finally. "Do you hate me?"

She looked up from her cake, a smudge of icing on her chin. "Hate you? Um, no, I suppose I don't." She looked terribly disappointed of this. "I mean, I should, you're always insulting me, but I just don't. It's weird."

Mamoru looked at her. "Well, cool, I guess." He noticed the icing on her face. "Hey, you have something right there." He said, gesturing. Usagi wiped her hand across her face, but she missed it.

"Here, I'll get it for you." Mamoru said, and gently wiped the icing off. Usagi turned away, blushing slightly at the sweetness of Mamoru.

He noticed this, and cleared his throat. "Anyway, I'm going to sleep now. All the work today and now this is exhausting. Good night," He sat his uneaten chips aside, and lay down, using his employee's jacket as a pillow.

Usagi yawned and stretched, recovered from her blushing incident. "Yeah, I should do the same, too." She lay down, but didn't have anything to use as a pillow.

Usagi fell asleep quickly, but Mamoru stayed up, thinking. He noticed Usagi's pillowlessness(2). He took his employee's jacket and slipped it under her head.

"Sweet dreams, MH." Mamoru whispered, caressing Usagi's sweet face.

1)No offense to anyone who uses it. Heck, I said it just the other day!

2)Okay, I totally made up a word.

Okay, slightly longer and more fluffier. Enjoy!

And look for a Yugioh story from me within the week(Jou/Kai pairing).
