28. - - Same old song and dance
You know how it goes - one, two, spin, one, two - spin?
You do?
Great.
Because that's the way Mamoru and me have been for quite a while now. Everything is always just so the same, same, same, and let me sound pathetic - so beaten down into the same routine of our little, everyday lives it makes me scream.
He says one when he opens his mouth and calls me Odango, or when he teases me about grades and school, or about eating too much.. Same old, same old.
Me, being the blonde that I am, answer to his one with my two, sticking my tongue out, with some low remark back about his green jacket, or about his lack of life, coffee and him being a total geek.. Same old, same old.
And then, one day, see the Devil (or actually Beryl), in one very nice spin it turns out he's Tuxedo Kamen, my wonderful saviour and the prince of my dreams - really makes me scream because it's quite literally - and to his one - I will protect you till the day I die, I jump with my two, answering him the same back.
Stupid, stupid.
We both end out dead cold, specially cold because we are on the South Pole where it's so cold that the penguins are moving to North Pole, but never mind. Being the sweet, lovable soul that I am, I wish for all of us to be reincarnated. And also damned.
And back to that slumped routing and dance. Meet everybody again, then him - the same steps, the same bittersweet song.
He says one and then it turns out that he doesn't remember me, but still remembers enough to call me Odango once again.
I say two with a tongue sticking out (again, again), my nerves fried, but with a hidden smile. Because anyone who knows us and our song, our unique way of dancing - also knows which spin comes next.
You do know, right?
Great. Then enjoy. Even though it all is - same old song and dance.
