One Day Soon
He watched as she walked into the arcade a bounce in her step as always. She was perhaps the most wonderful thing that happened to him. She sat on the stool beside him and ordered her customary double chocolate milkshake.
"You know if you keep that up, you'll never become a model." He said as he turned to look at her an excuse just to stare.
She smirked when she turned to face him. "Humph. Drop it Mamoru-baka. I'm too happy for you to ruin my mood today." Her happy blue orbs locked onto his and he lost himself in her seemingly endless gaze.
It was like being lost in a peaceful infinity, her gaze was his addiction, and he ran on autopilot. "What's got you in such a good mood?" His gently asked question seemed to throw her off, if her widened eyes were any proof.
"It's not like you would care…" she replied quietly as she grabbed her milkshake and walked away to sit with her friends at a booth nearby.
The moment shattered for Mamoru as his light walked away. However, he could not quite understand the happiness that shone in her blue eyes as he looked at her. It was not possible to describe the feeling that they gave him. If he so much as saw a similar color, it set his heart to beating and he remembered the fire that could shine there when she angry with him. They shimmered when she laughed and they positively glowed when she was happy. They brought to mind the color of the heavens at night when the stars shone at their brightest.
"So… what's your favorite color?" Motoki asked, his smile hidden behind a tanned hand as he watched his best friend moon over the ray of sunshine that had left him entranced by her beauty.
"Royal blue." Mamoru answered, his mind still lost in his own peaceful accord that she had created for him.
Motoki was quite shocked could it be that his reclusive best friend was getting ready to confess to his love for Usagi. "I thought it was green. Why blue?" Motoki asked as he wiped at the counter to keep himself busy while egging his friend closer to a confession.
The question caught Mamoru off guard, "No reason, sometimes people change." He coughed slightly, "It makes me feel at peace to see that color. Almost as if no matter what can go wrong, there will always be a light at the end of the tunnel."
"If you say so," Motoki said softly, "but can you tell me what brought about this change of mind?"
"You'll never understand." Mamoru said as he paid for his tab for the day and then with a last lingering glance at the light of his life and left the arcade.
"Perhaps Mamoru, one day soon you'll finally get the nerve to confess your love for Usagi." Motoki said softly as he shook his head at his friend's reluctance to see the truth before him. "Maybe one day soon, you both will see what the other is hiding."
