Clamping Down on (Both of) You

A/N: Innuendos as titles FTW! Haha. Maybe I should stop when I'm ahead, because as far as I am concerned, nothing of the sort will occur. XD

"Clamp" Used as a verb means to increase power/control, and that is the definition I am using tonight!

Onwards!

. . .

The amount of stress I have to go though on a daily basis truly only has one origin. The fight flirting of Mamoru and Usagi. Not that they would ever agree with me on that particular title I created. But the patrons of the Crown Arcade agree with anytime I try to persuade one of them to tell the other, they end up flushed and storming out of the arcade.

Not particularly interesting. Only stress intensifying. Which is why I derived my plan.

A truly fantastic one at that.

Everybody in the arcade was in on it. And it only worked if I only have one of the members of the lust team at a time. Therefore, if the other member starts to enter the arcade, somebody would have to move them outside until further notice. The second would obviously have to run after the first after they run from me.

I would be clamping down my power. For once.

It really was a fun plan.

Usagi was the first to enter, the poor girl. Her smile was bright and her eyes shining in the spring sun. Yet she had no idea of what was to come. "Konnichiwa, Usagi-chan! How was your day?"

Her grin broadened. "Great!"

"Did you happen to run into anyone in particular today? Say, an ebony haired ma-"

"Forget it, I'm not staying here," Usagi muttered, turning away from me. But ah, that was the plan.

My voice became louder. "You should ask him out, Usagi-chan."

"Ask him out, Usagi-chan."

"Ask him out, Usagi-chan."

The patrons started chanting and the blonde's face became terribly red. "Ketsunoana," she breathed before turning back to the door and trying to run to the door.

Lo and behold, who was walking in the door but Mamoru himself.

"Ask him out, Usagi-chan!"

Mamoru arched his brow. "Who is Odango asking out?"

But before anybody had the chance to answer, Usagi ran around her crush and headed out the door. Her pigtails fly comically behind her as the doors close. "Way to screw it up, baka," I grinned, still proud of the intimidation we put on Usagi. Now it's only a matter of time before the two are together.

"What part of I'm the only one allowed to tease Odango do you not understand?" He demanded, walking closer to the counter. If only he knew.

"The part where you don't ever ask her out."

The crowd laughed. "You should ask her out, Mamoru-san."

"You should ask her out, Mamoru-san."

But my friend did not react as I hoped. "You're really screwed up, you know that?" He then sat down and the arcade falls silent. He is not chasing after her. Not at all what I expected.

It was a really fun plan.

If it would have worked.
