"My mistress' are nothing like the sun;

Coral is far more red that her lips' red.

If snow be white, why then her bre.."

Mizuno Ami sat at the counter, a book of sonnets in one hand, a milkshake in the other as she took sips between each sonnet she read. Tsukino Usagi sat next to the enthralled bluenette and sighed, her head drooping slightly as she tried to read her Manga over the enthusiastic reading of the genius. It wouldn't be so bad if Ami wasn't trying to put on a stereotyped posh British accent but no the girl just HAD to try it didn't she.. she claimed the great works of Shakespeare could not be done justice without such a thing

Stupid Ami

A hand slowly reached out, a baby blue marker pen clutched tightly in the fingers while the owner tried to work out whether the silent blond was paying attention. Mamoru smirked as his fingers gracefully drew a perfect straight line over the corner of the girls comic before retreating to infront of him.

"Baka, What.." She was interrupted

"Usagi, pay attention!" Ami corrected Usagi, a slight pout on her lips as the blond turned back to her friend

"I have seen roses damasked, red and white,

But no such roses see I in her cheeks;

And in some perfumes is there more delight

Than in the breath my mistress reeks."

Usagi caught site of a green line being drawn just below the blue and glared at Mamoru.

"What was that for?" She pointed at the two lines as he grinned back triumphantly at her.

"I wanted some attention" Was his simple reply

"You didn't need to do that to get her attention" Trailed off the Bluenette as Minako leant around her.

"I think he loves you" Sang Minako in a whisper that was just out of Mamoru's hearing

Usagi snorted "I wish" with that she picked up her own blue fountain pen that was a pain to wash off.

Clutching her beloved pen tightly she glanced at the Baka from the corner of her eyes and wiggled the pen gaining a conspirital grin as he grabbed a yellow marker and slowly edged it towards her page. Her own pen moved towards his arm, her knuckles white as he snickered and moved the tip of his to meet hers. The two moved the pens back slightly before Mamoru began to slowly edge his towards her page again, her pen moved to stop an inch away from his arm and he retreated with a chuckle. Motoki came over and leant against the counter watching the two with interest.

"I grant I never saw a goddess go:

My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare

As any she belied with false compare."

Ami finished her poem and began on the next as the pen war continued. Mamoru's pen twirled around Usagi's before he moved it towards her page. She quickly batted his marker away from the page with her fountain pen and Motoki laughed. Her pen moved forwards as did Mamoru's then she pulled it back with a slight grin, her plan worked out.

"Look Motoki, Odango's pulling back" With that said Usagi lunged the pen forwards and drew over the back of his hand before waving her pen triumphantly in the air. He smirked and rested his pen back on his paper before ordering another cup of coffee and bowing his head. Usagi turned back to Ami who was babbling on about something or other to do with Elvis' twin sister

"And then he said 'I wanted some attention' The nerve of him, really" The blond huffed as Minako rolled her eyes, Rei smirked shaking her head.

"Jeeze, Usagi will you stop going on about it, we know you fancy him but do you really have to keep going on about it?" Minako glared from her place besides Rei, Ami had long gone and Rei was in her previous seat. The blond across the counter perked up and grinned as Mamoru re-entered the arcade after going to check on his neighbours cat. They'd gone on holiday for the weekend and Mamoru had agreed to keep an eye on their pet while they spent three days in Mexico.

"Aww does Usagi fancy the studly Mamoru?" Motoki raisedhis eyebrows suggestively as Mamoru sat down besides the blushing blond and turned to them.

"Wha? Odango, who fancies who now?" Mamoru grinned widely at her as her face turned scarlet

"But then who wouldn't fancy the amazing Chiba Mamoru eh Usagi?" Motoki winked and Usagi grabbed her Manga, opened it to a random page and tried to start reading it.

"Aww Odango has a crush on me? Sweet.. Ha look at her trying to hide behind her comic like that" Mamoru cooed and she turned towards Minako who giggled helplessly. Rei leant over and grinned like a Cheshire cat before adding "It must be true, you've gone red, Odango"

"Stop calling me that Bakas" Usagi sniffed indignantly and turned her nose up, looking towards her long forgotten milkshake.

"Aww, come on, Odango. You love me really" He smirked

"Sure I do, Baka" She buried her nose back into her comic giving a flippant reply.

"Now come on, don't try and be sarcastic, you can't hide it that easily"

"Whatever you say, Baka"

Mamoru wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her against him, unaware of the Goosebumps that rose on her arms and cheeks. Motoki chuckled and went to help a small boy on the games while Minako and Rei watched to two before whispering between each other

Author's notes

Ok that's chapter two. Stupid Baka distracted me with a pen fight in science so I didn't take in anything that our heavily pregnant and highly hormonal science teacher taught us about the heart.. oh well she explained to us afterwards and iI got a few extra minutes with Baka. He's fully healed after his little scrape and my Nanna should be coming out of hospital soon.

And sadly It was shouted across my History class that I fancied the stud muffin baka which was commented to with "But then of course I fancy the stud muffin too" by Jase.

My french oral is in 11 days and then my first exams start at the end of this month so I might have to stop posting for a while.. not that I post much as it is eh?

By the way, the sonnet is "Sonnet 130" by William Shakespeare

And Elvis' twin sister is a poem by Carol Ann Duffy

Caio Pour now
