Tap. Tap. Tap.

Mamoru's teeth ground at the noise. He twitched every time the pen hit the table.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

His eyes crossed, unable to read the biology book in front of him. The black letters seemed to bounce in time to the noise.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

His fingers gripped the edge of the Formica table, knuckles white and veins nearly popping from his skin.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

He took a steadying breath, his whole body shuddering. Try as he might, he couldn't block it out.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

He snapped, whirling on the unsuspecting blond. He caught a glimpse of her leaning on one elbow, staring off into space and almost paused.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

"Odango!!! Stop with that incessant tapping!" he growled, standing to loom over her booth. She blinked slowly, not quite comprehending the terrifying look on his face.

"Huh?"

Mamoru's hand shot out, grabbing her wrist. A pink glitter pen fell from her slim, pale fingers and for the first time, she looked him in the face. His teeth were barred, his eyes wide, and flecks of spit riddled his lips.

"Stop." He growled. She cautiously pulled her wrist from his grasp and patted him on the cheek, grinning condescendingly.

"Don't worry Mamoru-baka, I'm just about done with my picture." She plopped back into the booth and snatched up her pen.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

His eye twitched. His hands clenched. His stomach churned.

Tap. Tap.

Usagi flipped her pen in the air, catching it mid-twirl and smiled.

"All done!" she chirped. Mamoru hazily watched her pack up her bag and stroll to the arcade doors, golden hair streaming behind her. Shaking his head, he leaned over the table to see what she had drawn.

Mamoru's eyes went wide and his breath caught in his throat. He looked back to see the doors sliding shut, Usagi barely visible through the frosted glass. Glancing one more time at the picture, he gulped and ran after her.

Carefully inked into the table with hundreds of tiny, pink dots was;
