#15 Mistake
words: 317
Mamoru sat at the counter in the arcade and stared grimly into his coffee. ''I hate you!'' she had screamed. Oh how her words tortured him this time. ''Hey buddy, what's the matter?'' Motoki asked. ''Is it because of the argument you had earlier with Usagi-chan?'' ''Yes,'' Mamoru sighed. ''I feel really bad about it right now.'' ''I see. But Mamoru, why do you treat her like this anyway?'' The ebony haired man sighed again. ''I guess I do it because I like her a great deal and she is important to me.''
When he saw the expression on Motoki's face he rolled his eyes and continued. ''You know about my problems when it comes to feelings. I think I'm afraid of being rejected if I tell her how I really feel. So I tease her instead, in order to have at least some kind of relationship with her. It sounds crazy, I know, but that's how it is.'' Mamoru ran a hand through his hair andstared into his coffee cup again. ''I can understand you buddy. But if you really feel that bad about your daily arguments you should apologize to her and maybe offer her a truce. That would be a start.'' Motoki said thoughtfully. ''Motoki, she said that she hates me!'' Mamoru protested. ''Right, but she said that before, didn't she?'' ''True. Only this time it was different. I could see in Meatball Head's eyes that she meant what she said.''
Mamoru groaned in resignation. ''I made a big mistake by telling her that she is silly and useless. I really was a jerk this time.'' Motoki only nodded. ''I have to find her and talk to her. I didn't mean to hurt her that badly! I can only hope that Usagi will forgive me.'' With that Mamoru left. ''Good luck my friend!'' Motoki shouted after him and smiled.
