Prompt #62: Rainbow
My Secret Admirer,
You have my complete attention. I am convinced of your love. Will you tell me who you are? Maybe face to face I can discover if I could love you in return. We should meet; I wish to know who it is that can love me with such complete devotion.
Sincerely,
Tsukino Usagi
Mamoru stared at the letter that lay innocently upon his desk. He had never anticipated a response from the blond pixie that had stolen his heart. His blue eyes glanced up at Unazuki. "She left this with you?"
"I think she thought I would deliver it to the errand boy you have been using who would in turn leave it with you."
"She doesn't know the gifts are from me does she?"
"Of course she doesn't. Asanuma-kun and I have been extremely careful not to let any clues about your identity drop. I think she's getting curious."
"I'm not ready."
"Are you ever going to be?"
"I don't want her to think this is some kind of twisted joke."
"Mamoru-san, I've seen the way that girl stares at you when you're not looking. She adores you even if she's too afraid to admit it to herself."
"Do you think so?"
"Mamoru-san this will have to end sometime. You cannot go through life being her secret admirer. Eventually the truth will have to be revealed."
"What if she hates me for it?"
"I doubt that. A little longer Mamoru and if you don't tell her, I'll tell her for you."
"Unazuki-chan!"
"I'm not kidding."
"Fine, only give me a little more time."
Usagi stared long and hard at the letter that had come with the little rainbow charm she had received. She had been hoping that her letter would give him some hope and that he could reveal his identity to her.
My only love,
Usako, how you have turned my world upside down. Your letter has given me
reason to hope that someday soon you may love me as I love you. However, my precious, you must give me some time. My heart would not be able to move on if you rejected me. You are the light in my dark world. The rainbow that gives me hope when the storm has ended that it will be a brighter day. I ask for just a little more time and I will gather the strength to tell you who I am.
I love you more each day,
Your Secret Admirer
Usagi clipped on the little rainbow charm and with a nod to Unazuki, "A little more time is what he asks for and that is what I'll give him. He deserves that much if he's going to put his heart on the line."
Unazuki smiled at the young girl, grateful that she had understood his silent plea. Do not choke, Mamoru-san. If you do not tell her soon I am more than sure there are others whom would gladly confess their love.
