5. Short skirt
Usagi was nervously preparing for a date with Mamoru. Well, it wasn't exactly a date, but now every time she saw him seemed like a special moment she wanted to capture in her heart forever.
Fussing over her odangos, she asked Luna, 'Does my outfit look alright?'
Her outfit consisted of a pink shirt, her brand-new blue mini-skirt and a pair of white sandals.
'Yes, it's fine!' Luna replied. 'Honestly, I don't know why you fuss so much! Mamoru loves you no matter what you're wearing, and besides, it's not like he'll even notice the trouble you went to!'
'I know, Luna, but I just feel the need to sweep him off his feet. Plus, I've been eyeing off this skirt for weeks. It's not as if I bought it just for him!'
'Hey Odango!' greeted Mamoru, but with none of the sourness he would have previously reserved for her. Instead, his words wore an air of gentle teasing, and his face lit up in a radiant smile at the sight of her, making her lips itch to do the same.
'Where are we going?'
'How about the park?'
He agreed and they set off, maintaining a comfortable silence the whole way.
At the park, they headed to the gardens.
'Wow! Those roses are so beautiful!' Usagi gushed, pointing to a bed of blood-red blooms. Mamoru just smiled. He had his own reasons for loving those particular flowers, just as he knew Usagi did, too.
He looked up at her colourful clothes, vibrant smile that lit up her whole face like the sun, and those sky blue eyes that melted his heart every time he looked at her, and decided that she was the only flower he would ever need.
'By the way, I love your skirt. You look stunning in it!'
Usagi blushed as Mamoru leaned in, brushing her lips with his.
