Marronett

With a defeated sigh Usagi slumped onto the counter. Pale blue eyes took in the petite blonde as she absently stirred her aging chocolate shake. With a glance around his second home Motoki could easily be reminded why his 'little sister' was sulking before him with a look of utter boredom and sadness. The arcade though still humming seemed dull without the usual pack mulling around and adding the true heart to his establishment. With a frown Usagi plucked her straw away from her and let another helpless breath escape her pink lips. Pasting on his best smile Motoki shifted over towards her, his dishtowel brushing imaginary crumbs off the spot before he settled across form her, leaning towards her.

"Cheer up Usagi-chan." He said, encouragement in his voice and her deep cobalt eyes flickered to him than back to the counter. "The weekend will be over soon and the girls will return from that game, Ami from her trip with her mother and even Mamoru-san will be back from his seminar." Motoki smiled and Usagi grumbled her eyes displaying her annoyed dissapointment.

"Did they all have to leave on the same weekend?" Usagi muttered and Motoki grinned with sympathetic amusement towards the small life of the party.

"You have me." Motoki tried and Usagi glanced at him and quirked a slightly amused smirk before returning to her slumped position of disappointment and dispair. Motoki shook his head and wiped the counter once more until he heard the hiss of his sliding doors. He glanced up to greet the new customer but shock flew to his features instead.

"Mamoru-san. Don't you have a train to catch?" Motoki sputtered from across the room and Usagi heard the hurried footsteps as the tall college student approached them. Her eyes widened in surprise as she sat up to look at him as he neared, his overcoat accenting his tall lean frame with two bags slung over his shoulder. One his laptop no doubt and the other his overnight bag.

"I have a few minutes." Mamoru replied breathlessly, a grin lighting his features as he stepped in front of Usagi who still stared at him in a shocked stupor. Motoki smiled as the college student turned to the blonde and his hands immediately cupped her cheeks, his fingers sliding across the smooth skin in a cares as his lips bent down and captured over hers sucking her into his lip's embrace. Usagi's eyes fluttered closed and she leaned forward into him, joy exploding within her. Painstaklingly Mamoru pulled away from her pert lips, his eyes flickering open to see her shining orbs staring back at him with all the unconditional love and devotion he had to see before he left.

"Goodbye my love… I'll call you tonight when I get there." He whispered against her lips before nipping them again. "Try not to miss me too much." He murmered and Usagi let out a soft giggle and wrapped her arms around him pulling him into her embrace as her lips captured his. At that moment Mamoru Chiba would have loved nothing more than to drop his bags, tilt his girlfriend backwards and kiss her till she saw stars behind her eyelids.

A pestering smack on his shoulder with a rag told him that thought would have to wait till Monday. He pulled back and Usagi's fingers had curled around him lovingly.

"Bye Mamo-chan." Usagi breathed and Mamoru smirked, loving the breathless tone of her voice. He bent down and kissed her cheek lovingly before sadly pulling away. She beamed at him and he smiled re-adjusting his luggage.

"Put her bill on my tab Motoki." Mamoru said and Usagi bit her bottom lip, joy etched on her features as she stared at him.

"I always do." Motoki smirked leaning forward watching the couple with a smile.

Mamoru glanced at Usagi's half dead shake and smirked leaning forward.

"Eat more will you bunny? He teased and Usagi blinked looking at her shake than shot him a look but he was already on his way out of the door.

"Oganai Mamo-chan!" She called with a wave and Mamoru grinned glancing over his shoulder as he winked at her than vanished into the crowd. With a content sigh Usagi turned back to Motoki and gasped spying a single red rose laying in front of her, a tag hanging from it's stem.

I love you too, Usako.

A blush rose to Usagi's cheeks and she picked up the rose lovingly and stared at it. With a content sigh she continued to memorize it as Motoki smirked down at her.

"Double cheeseburger and fries please." She whispered and Motoki nodded.

"Yes, mam." He grinned.
