"Come ON, I do homework! Why's it come as such a surprise?"
"I don't know...no reason..." Mamoru replied in a bad cover-up tone.
"Yes you do, come on, y'know you think I'm dumb." Usagi continued on, nudgeing Mamoru in the side with her elbow.
"Stop it...okay, okay! Yes! I used to think you were dumb!" Mamoru half-joked followed by a smooth laugh.
Usagi shot him a glare.
'How am I going to ask her do the prom?' Mamoru thought, 'Well, I've got to ask her soon, so she can buy a dress and stuff...if she wants to go that is...' Mamoru thought.
"Hey Mamoru, whatcha' thinkin' about? Well, whatever it is, don't think to long or hard, you're brain will burst because it isn't used to that! Hahaha!" Usagi asked.
"Grr..." Mamoru muttered as he hit Usagi on the head with his elbow.
---------------------------------------------------
An hour later the sunset was casting a beautiful array of colors across the blue lake of the park. Mamoru and Usagi had left the arcade and decided, by Mamoru's suggestion, to take the long route home. Usagi stopped walking and looked at the lake.
"Its beautiful..."
"Yes,"Mamoru agreed, "But not as beautifuil as you..."
Usagi blushed at this corny thing to say as Mamoru smiled down at her, his blue eyes gazing into her.
"Um, Usagi, I was wondering if you'd be interested in...going to the Prom with me?"
Usagi gazed at him, almost questioningly before throwing herself into his arms and yelling, "Yes, yes, I'd love to!"
He simply smiled and returned the embrace.
------------------------------------------------
The next day, Usagi woke up at 3:30 in the morning, thus outside was still dark. She was laying on the couch, in only a night shirt reaching down to her knees. Mamoru was sitting on the floor with his head cocked to one side as he slept on. They were watching a movie together, but clearly it ended some time ago, for the screen of the television was an ugly blue. Usagi picked up the remote and pressed a couple of buttons and the television went off. Usagi slowly rose from the couch and knelt next to Mamoru, watching him sleep. He was in a white tank-top and black sweat pants.
Usagi's eyes leaked tears yet she smiled as she recalled all the events from when her parents died up to this exact moment. For the first time, she deeply inhaled and thought how wonderful it felt to be alive, to walk, talk, feel and breathe.
Usagi opened her eyes and looked at Mamoru and the way his bangs fell messily over his shut eyes; and followed every curve and angle of his body. He wasn't too masculine, but not too skinny either.
Unable to stop herself, Usagi leaned over him, placeing one arm across his body and propping itself up on the carpet, and her other arm wrapped itself around Mamoru's neck lightly and she allowed her lips to brush across his unnoticably. She pulled back and took in his facial features, his lips, his dark eyelashes and sharp jawline. She wrapped her other arm around his neck and, makeing the rest of herself more comfortably positioned, rested her head in the curve of his neck and fell asleep once more.
-
A few hours later, at 8:00 in the morning, Mamoru slowly opened his eyes, but was to tired to notice the unusual position he was in. He drifted in and out of sleep and this dazzed state for a few more minutes before he heard a soft moan and felt the vibration from the person below him as it sounded, it was then that he realized he was lying half on top of, and half next to Usagi on the floor. His face was rested in the curve of her neck and both her arms were around his. Turning red at this highly embarassing situation, Mamoru took his arms from around her neck and waist, and reached up to gently untangle her arms from him, but too late, another moan softly escaped usagi's lips as she opened her eyes and took a semi-concious breath. Soon she realized just what Mamoru had and threw him off of her and took ten giant steps away from him with wide and shocked eyes.
"What-in-the-hell...!" Usagi muttered.
"Usagi-I woke up and that is what we were like-I can't even remember you getting off the couch!"
"Oh man, its my fault...forget it, Mamoru...just forget it, I know what happened haaha!"
Mamoru stared at her oddly for a moment before attempting to erase the memory fromn his mind...not that he thought of wakeing up with an angel as anything bad...
Usagi had her back to him, and Mamoru wisely took the opportunity to sneak up behind her and wrap his arms around her waist. Usagi gave a startled gasp, and turned her neck slightly to see Mamoru smiling softly down upon her, his blue orbs glistening with her image reflected in them. Mamoru was standing right behind Usagi who could feel his warm body against her back. Mamoru put his head down and kissed her neck lightly, then her cheek. Usagi could feel the blush creep up on her cheeks as her eyes widened. She would have been shocked if Mamoru couldn't hear her heart, which was moving into her throat, pounding rapidly.
"Ma...Mamoru...What...are you..."
Usagi became quiet and tilted her head to one side to rest it against Mamoru's shoulder...
Usagi heard Mamoru mutter something then questioned him, "What is it?"
"Mmm...forget it, nothing..."
"Mamoru?"
"What"
"I want to be with you..."
"What? But...you are with me right now..." Mamoru replied, putting his cheek to her neck.
"No...I want to be with you and never leave...I don't...I don't want you to leave me either...I love you...I would die without you! Mamoru, I-"
"Shh...I'm never going to leave you...I promise...And I will always keep you by my side no matter what, I swear it...Usako...I swear...I will NEVER let us be apart..."
Usagi smiled slightly and was quiet.
'I love him so much...' Usagi thought, 'I really...do'
-------------------------
The rest of the day, up to 7:00p.m, the time of the prom, was spent watching movies and snuggleing together.
An hour before the prom, Usagi and Mamoru were just sitting together on the couch watching rain fall onto the balcony. Mamoru glanced at the clock and sighed.
Usagi had fallen asleep and her head was resting in Mamoru's lap.
Mamoru sighed again and gently shook Bunny's shoulder, "Usa...Usa, get up, we leave in an hour"
Usagi's eyes fluttered open, "Wh...what?"
Mamoru smiled at her, "The prom. In an hour. Get ready."
"Oh! Okay..."
Usagi and Mamoru seperated, Usagi to the bathroom, Mamoru to his room where all he needed was already there.
----------------------
Once the bathroom door was shut and locked, usagi stripped herself of the clothing she wore except for her undergarments and applied a fragrant lotion to her skin before slipping into her gorgeous gown. The gown was a deep maroon, strapless satin with glitter washed over it, and a matching scarf attatched. Her shoes were simple; black slip-on, heel-less dress shoes.
Once she had finished, she surveyed her apearance in the mirror, hair was set neatly ina not on the top of her head, eyes shining with the liquid makeup she applied and the shockingly bright mascara.
Feeling that everything was placed right, she stood and made her way from the bathroom.
Mamoru was standing in the center of the living room, looking excessively handsome in his black tuxedo with a rose tucked neatly inside the breast pocket of his jacket. Just noticing Usagi was finished, Mamoru turned his attention away from the balconey to look at her.
His eyes traveled over her, drinking in her beauty. A small smile played across his lips as his eyes came to look into hers as he walked over.
He took one of Usagi's hands in his as he put his forehead to hers, "Usa- you look absolutely amazing, as always, but especially so tonight, angel..."
Usagi smiled radiantly, "Thank you...Mamo..chan..."
"WELL," Mamoru began, straightening himself and grabbing hold of Usagi's warm hand, "Are you ready to go?"
Usagi's head was down and her body, shakeing. Mamoru's gaze became questioning as he watched her.
"Bunny?"
Usagi looked up at him, her eyes glistening with tears that would well up and drip over her bottom eyelid and slide quickly down her cheek, blending the colors of her makeup as a mild smile plastered itself to her sensuous lips.
"I'm...sorry Mamoru...I..." Usagi trailed off as a sob overtook her.
"Right now...everything seems so unreal...so bittersweet...you...my dead family...this new love...the warmth of your arms...The emptiness I feel with no family...no little down right obnoxious brother to bug me any longer..."
"Usagi..." Mamoru started,"Don't cry...you'll ruin your...no...Wait a second..."
Realising that Usagi was upset, Mamoru felt it best to not bring her to the prom and to just stay home. He walked over to the c-d player that was sitting on a stand near the couch and after a moment, turned to Usagi just as 'My Immortal' by Evanesance began to play.
Usagi looked at him questioningly as he walked around the room, turning all lights off. For a moment Usagi's heart began to race as she felt Mamoru's presence move about the room, but just then, a candle lit, casting a small orange glow about mamoru's face. He lit several more candles around the room before hitting "repeat" on the c-d player.
Usagi had not stopped crying, as a matter of fact, it seemed that the tears flowed more heavily now and sobs raked her body.
"I thought...we were going to the prom?"
"No," Mamoru replied,"We will stay here..."
Mamoru then placed a strong, reliable hand on Usagi's waist and took her other hand in his free one, slowly revolving with her on the spot. Usagi just stopped crying for a brief moment, eyes wide. As the words of Evanesance began to drift to her ears, Usagi began to cry freely, leaning her head against Mamoru for support. A moment later Mamoru could feel the hot tears of Usagi, soaking through his shirt to his skin. He moved his hand around to her lower back, gently pulling her to him until their bodies were pressed together, closing the space between them.
As Usagi wrapped her arms around his neck, Mamoru moved one hand to hold the back of her head, pulling a clip from her hair that caused her beautiful locks of hair to tumble down from the knot that was piled on the back of her head. Mamoru stroked her back and whispered sweet things to Usagi, trying to sooth her mix of emotions rushing to her as he burried his hand in her hair.
Usagi eventually hushed, her breathing slowed and her heart became slightly more content as Mamoru Continued strokeing her back and burried his face into the crook of her neck, his warm, moist, breath dampening her skin there.
There was no more need for tears for either of them anymore. Right then, right there, and forever more, they had all they would need-love, tenderness, and someone to care for them more than anyone ever had. Once lost, now found...Two hearts beating in a steady rythym as the CD came to an end, two souls becomeing one.
