Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon
AN: Well, I decided to finally pick up on 100 themes. I have read such wonderful ones here, and the idea kept storming in my head. I can't promise I'll update every day, but I'll try.
oOo...
80. - - Pandora's Box
She needs to get out. She needs to do something, now, right now, this very minute, in this moment. This room of hers is too small, it's another boring afternoon that goes by slowly, too slowly and everything is always the same: too same, too small. Not just her room, the whole house, whole damn town.
I need to get out, I can't breathe here.
Usagi steps out right into the crisp coldness of the spring day, with air heavy and worn out and filled with the smell of fresh bread from the bakery around the corner. Someone's dog is barking in the distance, and she can hear the birds chirping on the branches above her head. The sun is still high up in the sky, a few blue or white clouds following after it.
She sighs with tiredness.
She is restless, and she doesn't quite know why. The devil stepped in her the very moment she left school and has been hell bent on not leaving her alone anymore. She had enough, she needs to do something. The routine of her life is too much the same - same old, same old - beaten into a sculptured path she repeats every day - sleep, school, afternoon - so boring - then the arcade, and then at night play-pretend you're strong enough to save the world... Then sleep and repeat it all over again.
And again. And again. And again.
This time she sighs with a note of irritation
Usagi crosses her hands over her chest, looks quickly left and right before crossing the road and thinks she has a few more minutes till she's in town. Just a bit - one, two, three steps more, the corner.. And then..
Mamoru.
Going towards her. That Devil from before smiles evily in the darkness of her heart, and she's beginning to feel herself lose this battle. The pictures in her head involving her and Mamoru are becoming more and more...
Oh, Mamoru.
Mamoru.
Mamoru.
She doesn't know how it happened. It's like someone opened the Pandora's box that has been lying for centuries hidden inside of her, and now it is open - and damnit it, finally - opened right now, here...
Usagi stumbles a bit, sways in her movements and it seems she's due to fall down, she can see herself on the ground again - again? - but Mamoru hurries in his steps and then his long, strong and muscular arms are around her..
She draws him near, or he draws her, she still doesn't know anything, his mouths are on hers, soft but harsh, somewhere between a sweet daydream and a horrible nightmare. A slow, little kiss and then another...
Usagi opens her mouth a little more, and so does he, and then he's really kissing her, her upper lip, lower lip, his tongue is flying across her teeth. She grabs his armpits and holds herself steady, yet she is incredibly needy and she wants to pulls him in that damned Pandora's box of no rest and piles of passion and forever capture him there, just like by the story Faith is. Right at the bottom.
His ears are cold to the touch, and so are hers - that she knows - but everything is heating up bit by bit, and Usagi feels like she's going to burn alive and closes her eyes for a swift moment.
To kiss. More - more - more..
She opens her eyes again and Mamoru is looking at her strangely, surprised, as if he's expecting something and nothing at all. Then he smiles, gives her one last kiss... And he's gone.
Usagi is left there standing.
How cold it is suddenly.
Pandora's box closes again, but Mamoru is not in there.
