46. - - Time
Time is something that has a relative definition.
At least that's what he was taught in school. Today, Mamoru wished for the time to spin forward in a head dizzying speed so he could take a peek into the future and find out everything he wanted to know. If he would finish college, would he be a good doctor, would his entire memories come back.. would he remain alone and cursed for the rest of his life or...
Or maybe, just maybe one day Usagi will be standing next to him?
Mamoru, usually calm and composed on the outside, currently felt on the inside as if someone was chasing him, pushing him and making him take a road that's clearly forbidden. Still, step by step, sigh by sigh he continued his short trip to the arcade and the cold autumn air had no affect on him this time. The little ring of bell signaled his entrance and it didn't pass a second when his eyes connected with the blue ones of Usagi Tsukino.
He stopped as dead in his tracks, because in those eyes he could see all the same questions that he wanted to ask too. The little sparks swimming in the blue ocean told him that Usagi wanted to know her future too, if she would finish high school, enter college and if she will find someone to live happily ever after with?
In that one second the time stopped, their eyes locked to each other as if they were sharing all of their private secrets, hopes and dreams. Usagi smiled softly at him and unnoticed by others gave him a little nod, letting him know that she knows it too, that she is completely aware of it but still not quite ready yet to try.
Then the time started up again, the wheel of Fate spun anew, and Mamoru felt as if he had just gotten an answer to the most important question of all.
Because Usagi was already with him, here and now.
