Chapter 5: Footsteps
Serenity wakes up to an empty room, not even a maid is present. She realises that it is noon and changes into a set of water clothes and pulling her dress over. She takes her bag and puts in a towel before walking out into the dining room, where everyone is eating lunch.
"Usagi… you're finally awake" Sakura says with a smile and serenity pulls a forced and sad smile before looking around the table, where she finds Endymion and two of his guard is absent. "Endymion left a few hours ago to go back to earth. He had to speak to his father" Sakura says and Serenity blushes and looks down to the ground, hiding her wet eyes.
"Oh ok" she says as she turns and looks towards the gardens and walking towards the door.
"Usagi? Aren't you going to eat lunch?" she asks and Serenity shakes her head. "Why?"
"I'm not hungry. Nothing to be concerned about" she says and Sakura frowns as she watches her daughter walk out the room. She walks directly to the lake, not stopping for anything or anyone. She pulls off her dress, takes out her hair before diving into the water, where she is immediately, after a second, pulled out. She sees Endymion and she frowns. What did he think he was doing? "What on the world do you think you are doing?" she asks him as he pulls her towards the edge. He frowns.
"You could at least thank me! I was saving your life" he snarls and she frowns.
"I wasn't drowning. I was swimming" she snaps and he frowns.
"Well you…you weren't coming up" he says and she frowns
"I was holding my breath you idiot" She says and he frowns and looks downwards.
"Oh" is all he says and she frowns. "Sorry. We should be going now" he says and she frowns.
"Why did you go to earth? I know you needed to see your father, but why?" she asks him and he frowns.
"I asked father that he needed to change the law for the Consummation of the heir. He agreed to do it as long as it kept you healthy. Nightly duties are every third night now, and still supervised by a man, unfortunately. Unless proven otherwise. But that's after the honeymoon. Endymion says and she frowns.
"But the heir…" She says and he pulls a forced smile.
"Doesn't matter to me" he says and he frowns. "What matters to me is that you're happy and that we do this slower" he says and she nods. "Check-up is at the end of the two weeks" he says and she nods with a frown. "I noticed you were crying last night…" he says and she frowns. "What was wrong?" he asks her and she frowns.
"Nothing" she says and he frowns before taking her hand.
"Tell me" he says and she cries. "Usako…" he says and she frowns.
"It's nothing you need to be concerned about Mamo…" she says and he sighs before sitting down on the ground
*A Week Later*
"Serenity" Endymion says and she smiles at him with the smile he loves. She grins as she pulls him towards a room of the castle. "Where are we going?" he asks her and she grins.
"To see Luna and Artemis. They've been so busy lately that the only time they are awake is when we're asleep. Or when I'm asleep. And you haven't been spending much time in the castle" she says and he grins. He's falling for her all over again. And Serenity is too, falling for her Husband all over again, but for something more.
"Who's Luna and Artemis" he asks he and she grins before running through a hallway.
"The royal Advisers. Have you noticed that Ami and Zoisite are hanging out in the library more often?" She asks him and he grins.
"Kunzite and Minako seem to be getting along way too well for comfort" Endymion says and she grins.
She sighs. "Everyone is falling in love" she says in a dreamy voice and he raises his eyebrows.
"Everyone?" He questions and she blushes and frowns, happiness gone from her eyes. "Well I don't think you are" he says and she frowns as tears fill her eyes.
"Mamo! How can you say that? I love you more than you know" she says and then covers her mouth with a sob. He frowns as she sniffs and wipes her eyes. "Obviously you don't feel the same" she says with a sad voice as she turns but he stops her.
"What makes you say that?" he asks her and she frowns. "Usako…I love you more than you know. I know you know that I do, but I love you so much more" he says and she sniffs with a sad smile.
"Really?" she sniffs with a smile and he grins.
"Mhm" he mumbles as he leans down to catch her lips. She grins and kisses him back before pulling away. "Let's go meet your friends" he says and she grins as she opens the door.
"LUNA" Serenity says in a happy voice and she sees the black cat come around the corner with a white on, who bare the same mark on their foreheads. Endymion laughs, he should know his Serenity would be talking to animals that couldn't respond. But his laughter was cut short when an unknown voice came into the air.
"Serenity, it's great to see you. And this must the young Prince Endymion. Pleasure to meet you. My name is Luna, and this is my mate, Artemis" the cat says and his eyes go wide and stops breathing
"W-What?" He asks forcing something out of his mouth before calming down. Serenity laughs and grins as she hugs the black cat before hugging the white.
"Luna and Artemis prefer to stay in Cat form, but they can sometimes go into Human form. They also have powers like you and the girls" Serenity explains to him with a grin "Now Luna, what have I told you about calling me Serenity, I don't care if you address my mother as Serenity, but I have a name, and it's Usagi. I told you" she huffs and Endymion grins.
"Sorry about Luna, Usagi. She's been a little overwhelming lately. Did your mother tell that she's with child?" he asks her and Serenity beams.
"No she didn't. Congratulations" Serenity says and he chuckles.
Sometimes, things were crazy. But sometimes things were perfect. And his angel loved him back. Sometimes, things were miracles, like her love for him.
