Tears

"Baby!"

"Jerk!"

"Klutz!"

"Baka!"

It was another day at the Crown Arcade, and another fight between Usagi and himself. He really didn't know what came over him when he opened his mouth in her presence. Why insults came pouring out even while he wanted to hold her and never let go. But she was truly adorable when angry. Almost like a kitten…a very wet kitten. Adorable, but hissing and clawing at him like mad.

"Stupid!"

The look of hurt was plain on her face when he said this. It was clear that he had gone to far with that one. For someone who put no effort into her schoolwork, she was surprisingly sensitive about her grades. And she truly wasn't stupid. She just didn't care to try.

But it was too late to take back what he said. His last glimpse of her before she ran out was of a face streaked with tears.

He went after her. How could he not? Her tears cut him to the bone.
