He watches her as she laughs with her friends, her eyes sparkling with joy. She still has her hand in his, lightly gripping with her slender fingers. She has never seemed so beautiful, rays of sun streaming though the arcade windows make her glorious hair even more radiant.

"Usagi?" he says, somewhat hesitantly.
"Yes?'
"I…um….I…just wanted to tell you….um…you're really really gorgeous." A pink tinge creeps up his neck and into his face as she looks at him blankly. The other girls have stopped their chatter and are watching curiously, trying not to interrupt the moment.
"Um…thanks!" She says eventually, clearly unsure if he is serious. Suddenly she jumps up as if stung.
"Oh no! Look at the time! I'm gonna be soooo late again!" She hurriedly bends down to kiss him on the cheek, just as he turns his head. Lips touch and the couple freeze for a second, then move a little closer. The kiss is held for another second, before she straightens and hurries out of the arcade.
He stares after her, not really seeing, as one hand slowly raises to his lips, where he can still feel hers.
"Hey! Earth to Mamoru!" a voice rudely interrupts him.
"What?"
"You hurt her and we will make sure you regret it for the rest of your life!"
He looks at the girls surrounding him, then back at the door.
"I will never ever hurt her….."
