6. Blue Eyes
Those blue eyes looking at her were too much to bear.
'Mamoru! Why are you looking at me?'
'Oh. Sorry, Odango. My head was somewhere else…'
'Well now it's time to put it back on your neck and LOOK AT SOMETHING ELSE!' Usagi snapped, practically breathing fire over him. If looks could kill, he'd be writing his will by now. No, he'd already be dead and buried.
He withdrew his gaze from her, and stared blankly at the newspaper in front of him instead.
'That was odd!' Usagi muttered to herself. 'Since when does Mamoru get sprung staring at me? And what was that look in his eyes? It couldn't be…longing? No way! Now's not the time for daydreaming, Usagi! You've got homework to do!'
Mamoru looked up to see Usagi frowning at a piece of paper in front of her, while scribbling madly over something she had just written. On the page were 20 unsolved maths equations, and Mamoru guessed that they were what Usagi was glaring at. Without a word he picked up a spare pencil.
'Here. It makes more sense if you do it like this…' he said, showing her how to do the first of the equations. While she was busy working out the answer, Mamoru glanced down at whatever she had been scribbling out. He could just make out a figure dressed in a cape with a top hat and mask.
Usagi looked up from her homework, straight into a pair of smiling blue eyes.
