Tough Love
Usagi ran as fast as she could to get to the arcade, where Rei was waiting for her. After she did poorly on her last exam, Usagi crumpled the test and placed it in her jacket. She didn't want to think about anything school-related, just the arcade, and Rei. It wasn't too long until she reached her place of comfort, and more importantly, the person she loved.
"Rei!"
The girls greeted each other with a tight hug.
"How was your day at school, Usa?"
"Oh it was just great!"
"Good, and how did you do on your exam?"
Usagi panicked. She intentionally did not tell Rei about the exam she took recently, as Rei could be just as bad as her mother when she got bad grades, if not worse.
"Exam? What exam?"
"The exam you're hiding in your pocket," Rei said as she dug through her love's coat and retrieved the crumpled piece of paper. She opened up the test, only to discover the atrocious grade.
"A TWENTY-SEVEN?! How on Earth did you make a twenty-seven?"
"Uhhhh, I kind of forgot to study."
"You forgot to study, or were you just too busy playing video games?"
"Ummmm, the second one," Usagi replied honestly in a low voice.
"Well, we aren't playing at the arcade today. I'm taking you over to Ami's so she can help you study for the next exam.
"But Rei, that isn't fair!"
"I don't care. A twenty-seven? That is unacceptable for a future queen. How can you lead a world if you get bad grades? I'm doing this for your own good, now let's go!"
Usagi whimpered, and went on her way to Ami's with Rei.
Author Note:
I know it would be more in-character for Usagi to just throw the test over her shoulder like in the anime, but it has been a while since I wrote a Rei x Usagi short story so I wanted to whip up and post a quick from the top of my head before I went to work, lol.
