Silent Night Chapter 6
-
The next night, Usagi once again stood in front of her closet and tried to pick out an outfit to wear. For the 100th time that night, she pressed the button and spun it around. Sighing, she finally picked out a short red dress that accented her eyes and hair. She did her hair up in a chignon, and then put on some black high heels.
"I have to go shopping soon," Usagi mumbled to herself. Entering her bathroom, she started applying make-up. A few minutes after she was finished, the doorbell rang. Usagi left with Mamoru, and they went to dinner, but Mamoru could tell she was pre-occupied. After dinner, they went for a walk in a floating park lit with faux starlight that had a small river running through it. They were walking beside the river when Usagi suddenly turned towards Mamoru.
"Mamoru, how do you feel about me?" She asked.
"Well," he started, picking his words very carefully. "I enjoy your company very much, and I like you a lot. Why would you like to know?" he asked. He took a deep breath and wondered if his wish was coming true.
"Because...," Usagi looked up into his dark blue eyes, exploring them with her own light blue eyes. "I love you," she finally said. Mamoru let out an explosive sigh and took Usagi in his arms.
"Oh, Usagi, I love you too," he said. Usagi hugged him back, then wriggled out of his arms.
"There's something else I need to tell you, and I need you to promise me that you won't leave me because of it," she said, pleading with him with her eyes.
"Of course not, Usagi. Nothing could make me leave you now that I've found you," he said.
"Good. I'm a vampyr," Usagi announced, quietly, not sure if other people were around. Mamoru looked confused. Usagi dug out her bottle of blood pills and shook one out for him to see. "This is a blood pill. It's a gel caplet filled with blood. I have to take one twice a day, otherwise I'll need to go and suck people's blood."
"Oh, my God!" Mamoru's eyes got wide as understanding sunk in. "Oh, my God! Are you serious?" he asked. Usagi only nodded. "What about Motoki. Is he one, too?" Again, Usagi nodded. "Oh, my God," Mamoru said, backing up a little bit.
"Wait, Mamoru. There's something else I need to tell you," Mamoru was shaking his head, and rubbing his arms like he was cold. "Mamoru... you are my true love," she said.
"What? No fucking way!" Mamoru exclaimed.
"I know it's hard to understand. I've been thinking about it all week, that's why I never called you. That night after we first had sex, I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom... I had changed," Usagi said. Mamoru looked confused.
