Chapter 7)
Usagi woke up in tears. She was in Mamoru's bed in his apartment. She must've began to cry before she woke up as he was hugging her tightly from behind. It had all been a dream, a nightmare. But why did it feel so real? She though she could get over it but she obviously couldn't. She was such a crybaby.
"Usako are you alright" he asked concerned. She turned around shocked.
"Mamo, You're-You're -alive?!" She cried as she hugged him back. He knew what happened.
"Are you able to go back to sleep, it's 2am" he said sweetly. She nodded and tossed over. Eventually he fell asleep, leaving Usagi awake. A few hours later at 5:30am she got out of bed. She changed into a pair of shorts,a crop top and tied her pastel pink jacket around her waist. She put her shoes on and plugger her headphones into her phone. She pressed play on her favourite Spotify playlist and walked out the door. She would go around Tokyo and ten afterwards, she would go to all of the girls houses to visit them. She left at 5:55am. Mamoru's alarm would go off at 7:00am.
Mamoru woke up at 7:00am and switched his alarm off. "You up Usa" he mumbled while rubbing his eyes. He looked at her empty spot and panicked. He made breakfast, had a shower and got changed. He called her phone 10 times but she didn't pick it up.
"Fuck Usagi, keep your phone off of do not disturb" he complained quietly to his phone. He called Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako to ask if they have seen Usagi. The last on his list to call was Minako. He dialled the number and pressed call.
"Hello?" She answered
"Minako-"
"Hi Mamoru, what's up"
"Have you seen Usagi?" He asked frantically.
"Yeah she was just here, left 5 minutes ago. She ran all around Tokyo and went to see Ami, Rei and Mako" she said calmly.
"Thanks, see you" he said before hanging up. Mamoru left the apartment and locked it up. He had to collect Usagi's present. 5 minutes after he had left, Usagi stumbled inside his apartment and walked out to the balcony. 10 minutes later, Mamoru walked into the apartment to find Usagi's pastel pink jacket on top of the couch. He walked over towards the bedroom, but stopped when he saw Usagi on the balcony. He hugged her and pulled out her headphones. She turned and looked at him.
"Usako, don't do that again. I was so worried. Are- are you ok usa? Do you want to talk about last night? Turn around Please" he said frantically. She turned around slowly. She didn't have her hair in her buns, it was just down. Her hair was so long it was touching the ground. Suddenly she started crying. He frowned at her. He hated seeing her like this.
"I'm so sorry. It's- It's just that I had to check on Ami, Rei, Mako and Minako. I'm sorry again. It's all my fault. How am i going to be- be. Well Neo Queen serenity if- if I can't even face my own fears? Everyone will die for me and I don't want to be alone. I may as well just die. I shouldn't exist in this world and either should the crystal" she cried loudly. He reached for her hands and held them tightly. She removed them back to her pockets of her shorts. Of course he snatched them back, tightened his grip and smiled.
"Usako, you'll be the best queen the world could ever ask for. Your kind, loyal, funny, sweet and brave. I love you Usa. You and the crystal should exist. You've saved lives and souls from the Dark Kingdom and the Black Moon. Ok, don't doubt yourself. Be the strong Usagi I know" he said sweetly. He looked at her sad, blue eyes that were now looking at the ground. There was a slight blush in her cheeks but that was it.
