Just a Moment
My sweet girl. I sit on the edge of our bed and look down at her sleeping face. She is so beautiful. A cup of coffee warms my hands. She gave me that mug for Christmas, not even a week past. We haven't known each other long, yet our connection was instant. Maybe it was our fates that tied us together in the beginning, but I never felt this way about anyone before.
The morning light caught the aqua color of her hair, reflecting it like sparkles in the water. I reach over and sink my fingers into those waves, each soft strand brushing easily through my fingers.
I treasure moments like this. There is no way of telling when they would end. Soon enough we will find the moon princess, and then either one of us could end up dying to protect her. I will do everything that I can to ensure Michiru's safety and survival.
I shake my head, clearing the thoughts of the future. I will live for this moment, and others like it. I leaned over and kissed her smooth forehead. Blue eyes flutter open to smile up at me. I feel Michiru's hand touch my arm reassuringly, as if saying "Don't worry Haruka, I'll protect you."
I smiled. Michiru would be just like that. I wish I could truthfully say the same to her. I want so bad to be able to do that for her.
Today we will head out, once again to search for our princess. But now all I have are these moments of freedom. When I'm not a soldier, but just a normal human, spending time with my girl.
