Chapter two: Wandering Hearts
Mamoru sighed and leaned back against his chair. "Finished." He rubbed his hands up his cheeks and through his hair. Stretching he stood up and looked over at his couch where Setsuna had fallen asleep.
They had been working together for weeks on this project for one of their classes; early mornings and late nights. He understood her exhaustion. Smiling he walked to his room to get a blanket and back out to the sleeping guardian.
She looked so peaceful. He had seen her so tired and stressed out over the last few weeks, it was nice to finally see her getting some rest. The moon light hit her face just right, making her look like an angel. He quietly unfolded the blanket and covered her up.
He sighed again and sat down on the arm of the couch, looking down at the Goddess of Time. Over the past few years he had grown quite fond on the woman. She was smart, and funny, and she understood the importance of his work and the long, trying hours it required. They had been each other's rocks more than once, getting each other through late nights. She was strong, stronger than he ever knew.
They had hooked up once, after a drunken celebration, and as much as he tried to forget about it, he couldn't. They never spoke about, and both had agreed not to tell Usagi or the others about it, but their relationship had changed that night.
Setsuna moaned lightly and shifted on the couch causing a stray hair to fall in her face. Mamoru smiled and leaned down to push the hair away, letting his hand brush across her cheek in the process. A small smile touched her lips.
"I fell asleep, didn't I?" She asked her eyes still closed.
"You did." The smile in his voice was obvious. "Setsuna?"
She opened her eyes and found the black-haired man very close to her. Her heart began to pound. "Yes?"
"How long are we going to keep doing this?" He asked.
"Doing what?" She was genuinely confused.
"Acting like we're not in love." His face moved closer to hers.
"Prince," she began, but he had closed the distance between them, and was kissing her fervently. "What about the princess?" She pondered after parting from his lips.
"Have you forgotten you're a princess too?" He kissed her neck.
"What about Usagi?"
Mamoru backed away from the green-haired woman. "I care for Usagi, but I can't keep pretending. I don't want to be with her."
"What about the future? Crystal Tokyo?"
"You ask too many questions," he kissed her again. "I don't have an answer. All I know is that I am not Prince Endymion, I am Mamoru Chiba, and I am in love with you."
Setsuna smiled wide. "I love you too."
The Prince of Earth engulfed Sailor Pluto in the most passionate kiss. Pulling her off the couch he relieved her of her shirt. Kissing her down her neck causing her to moan.
Her hands moved to the front of his shirt, undoing his buttons as he continued to move down her body. His shirt soon hit the floor and her hands explored the man. Last time they had done this it was rushed, and drunken. There had been no time to explore.
Mamoru picked the woman up and carried her to his room. Setting her on the bed he quickly removed her pants and underwear in one movement. He kissed her stomach, and moved down, kissing her thigh, and finally licking her swollen bud.
A loud moan escaped her as Mamoru began to service her. Licking and sucking her sensitive bundle. Her hands ran through his hair, and she gasped as he inserted one finger into her.
He continued his ministration to the beauty on the bed, soon inserting another finger into her and pumping in and out until he sent her over the edge. Satisfied with his work he stood and removed his pants. Pulled her up toward him he once again picked her up and put her back against the wall.
The moaned happily as he pushed himself inside her. She wrapped her legs around the man and welcomed his lusty kisses.
"You feel so amazing," she whispered through gasps of air.
"You too." He thrust into her harder causing her to scream out in pleasure, taking her over the edge not once, but twice more.
After the second time Setsuna pushed them away from the wall and took them down to the floor. He was still inside her, and she began to move on top on him, leaning forward to kiss him and bite his neck.
His moans of pleasure were like music to her ears, causing her to ride him harder, making herself come again. Mamoru groaned happily as he rode out her orgasm, having one himself.
After the high faded a little, Setsuna slowly stopped and kissed her lover tenderly. "That was amazing."
"Who said we were done?" He asked with one eyebrow cocked. "I'm not through with you yet."
He rolled her over and pulled out of her. Taking her hand, he helped her stand. He removed her bra now, and allowed her to lay on the bed. He placed a trail of kisses from her stomach up to her lips which he engulfed happily as he entered her again.
A small ding woke Mamoru the next morning. Setsuna was asleep beside him. He smiled, finally, she was his. He stretched and grabbed his phone, which had been the source of the sound; a reminder that he had an unopened text message awaiting him.
He opened it and felt a small ping of guilt as he saw the picture Usagi had sent to him yesterday. She looked beautiful. Then jealousy washed over him. What was she doing dressed like that?
Setsuna moved beside him and he realized how silly he was being. Then guilt again; how was he going to tell the woman he was engaged to that he was in love with someone else? He took a deep breath.
Usagi, we need to talk. Please call me when you can.
He sent the text and smiled as his lover snuggled up closer to him. It was worth it.
The Moon Princess had a hard time sleeping and now found herself at Makoto's karate studio.
"What's wrong, Usagi?" Makoto asked her friend who was fervently attacking a dummy.
Usagi stopped and looked at the brunette. She took a deep breath and wiped away the sweat on her brow. She thought for a moment and decided to be straight to the point. "I'm in love with Seiya."
Makoto's jaw dropped. "What?"
Usagi punched the dummy again. "I'm in love with Seiya."
"Wait, when did this happen?" Makoto drew closer to her princess.
Usagi stopped punching and turned to face her friend. "When I actually stop to think about it, it's been coming a long time now. This all started in high school, before we knew they we're Sailor Scouts, and even more after." She moved over to the bench close by and sat down, taking a drink from her water bottle.
Her mind wandered back to that night on the roof of their high school. Rain had soaked through her clothes, she was crying, and there was Seiya, cool and calm as always.
"Am I not good enough?" He had asked. It was then she realized just how he felt about her.
She wanted so much at that moment to tell him yes. But she still cared for Mamoru too much back then, still believing in the future she had seen. Looking back, she knew, in that moment, she had begun to fall in love with Seiya.
"What am I going to do, Mako?" The blonde asked.
"What do you want to do?" The tall woman asked.
"I want to be with Seiya," Usagi admitted.
"This doesn't make sense. We saw the future, and you were with Mamoru." She sat down next to Usagi.
"I think, in a way, that was an alternate dimension of sorts. In that time line, the black moon never attacked, and Chibi-Usa never appeared in their past. Neither did the Starlight's." She sighed. "I don't know, it's all very confusing."
"Chibi-Usa," Makoto said quietly. "She'll never . . ."
"Maybe not in the sense that we knew her, but I know she'll be part of our lives." Usagi looked at Makoto. "I don't know what will happen with Crystal Tokyo or the Moon Kingdom; but really, isn't that the way the future is supposed to be? Unknown?"
Makoto smiled. "You are absolutely right! Things will be fine."
"Okay, now." Usagi stood up and offered her friend a hand. "Are you going to spar with me or not?"
Usagi sat in her changing room at the studio, relaxing while she waited for her next scene to come up. She was a little nervous due to the fact it was the bedroom scene she had been told about. Her hair had been left down and slightly curled on the ends, her makeup light and natural. She was wearing a long, white, satin nightgown. Far too gorgeous for anything that should be slept in, in her opinion. Her phone chimed.
She rolled her eyes. "Bout time, Mamo," she said to herself. Tired of sitting in her room, she left to go watch the Starlight's.
They were singing the song on the set, which looked like the inside of a house. They were dressed in a fancy casual garb, making them look more handsome than ever. She walked closer and watched them. No matter how many times she saw them perform, she never ceased to be amazed by their talent. She sat down behind the director in Seiya's personal chair and watched, doe eyed.
"We're not quite ready for you yet, Usagi," one of the female assistants told her, walking up beside her.
"I know, I just got bored sitting in that room. How much longer do you think?" Usagi questioned.
"Probably another 30 to 45 minutes," she replied.
"Thanks."
The assistant walked away.
Usagi pulled out her phone, looking at the text Mamoru had sent her. Usagi, it said, not even Usako? Sighing she began to text her reply, might as well get this over with. She stood and walked back to her dressing room.
I've got a few minutes. Skype?
Much to her surprise, her phone began ringing with Skype. Mamoru never replied that fast. Putting a smile on her face she lifted the phone and answered.
"Mamo!" She exclaimed.
"Hi, Usako," he replied with a smile.
"How are you?" Usagi was genuinely happy to talk to him, it had been a while.
"I'm doing well. Where are you? What's going on? You look different," the man pointed out.
Usagi giggled. "I'm actually in one of the Starlight's music videos. I'm just waiting for them to need me."
"Oh." He looked away from the phone for a moment then back at her. "Usagi, I need to tell you something."
"Is everything ok?" Concern washed over her face.
"Yeah."
"I actually have something to tell you also."
"You can go first."
"No, it's ok, you go ahead."
They both paused, waiting for the other to speak first.
"I'm in love with someone else," they both said at the same time.
"Wait, what?" Again, simultaneously.
They both began to laugh.
"Well, at least you won't be angry with me," Mamoru said after laughing.
"With who?" Usagi couldn't resist asking.
"Huh?"
"Who are you in love with?"
"Please don't be upset, Usagi. It's uh," he looked over at Setsuna for approval. "Setsuna."
"That would make sense."
"Please don't be upset, it just kind of happened."
"It's ok. Really she's a better fit for you anyway."
"Who is it for you?"
"You're going to laugh." She shook her head. "I didn't realize it until recently."
"Who?"
"Seiya."
Mamoru laughed. "I knew it would be him. I'm also glad it's him. He's been in love with you for such a long time."
"I was so blind."
Mamoru smiled. "He is the only person I would trust to take care of you, so I'm really happy. When did you realize?"
The Moon Princess laughed a little. "Yesterday, during the shoot. They asked us to kiss, and it was like my first time all over again. I realize now that I've had feelings for him for a long time, but I refused to see it because I had you. And I'm sorry for kissing him while we were together."
"Don't be sorry. Honestly, I wasn't very faithful to you either." He looked away. "Sorry."
A knock on the door pulled Usagi's attention away, Seiya poked his head through the door. "Hey, you ready?"
"Uh, yeah. Give me a sec," she replied.
"Wait," Mamoru called over the phone. Usagi looked back at him. "Let me talk to him."
"Come in for a moment, Seiya." Usagi turned around and beckoned the singer to her. Holding the phone far enough away that Mamoru could see both of them.
"Seiya," Mamoru began.
"Am I in trouble?" Seiya queried anxiously.
Mamoru laughed. "No, of course not. I know you're busy, so I won't take too much of your time. I just wanted to say: take good care of Usagi."
"Huh?" A look of confusion washed over Seiya's face.
"Oh, you haven't told him?" Mamoru asked Usagi.
"No," she answered.
"Oops, sorry," the Prince said.
A knock at the door. "We're waiting for you."
"We have to go," Seiya said.
"Ok, take care you two. Usagi, I'll always care for you," Mamoru told her.
"And I for you." She smiled. "Bye, Mamoru." She hung up and put her phone down.
Another knock on the door. "Coming," Seiya replied. "When we're done, I hope you'll explain."
"I will."
Usagi was told to lay down on the bed where they slightly covered her with the sheets and artistically arranged her hair over the pillow. The first few scenes were easy, all she had to do was lie there and act like she was sleeping while Seiya sang to her.
Seiya walked onto set in a bathrobe. Seeing Usagi laying there on the bed looking the way she did, it took everything he had to not walk right up to her and kiss her with all the love he had. There was only a small group of people there, as per Seiya's request.
He took the robe off and crawled onto the bed. The music began and Seiya leaned over Usagi. She looked like and angel, so relaxed, her breathing slow, and her eyes closed. He knew the look on his face, as he sang, revealed his true feelings for her. He had, after all, written this song for her. The woman he had loved since first meeting her.
The song ended and they were instructed to do it again, only this time, at the end of the song he was to lean down and kiss her on the cheek, waking her. There was a small speaking part the director wanted them to do, followed by a kiss.
He sang the song again and kissed her on the cheek.
She moaned and stretched, turning to face the partially naked man beside her. Seeing his muscular chest made her breath catch and her heart pound. Smiling she took a deep breath and said, "hey, Seiya."
"Hey." Seiya smiled lovingly at her.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
He leaned over her now, placing a hand on each side of her head. "Couldn't be better. I'm so lucky to have you."
Their eyes met. "And I'm lucky to have you."
"I love you," he spoke the words he'd been wanting to say for years.
"I love you too."
Seiya leaned down and kissed her passionately. Usagi wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss, finally able to let go without having to worry about betraying Mamoru. Seiya shifted himself between her legs to get more comfortable, and continued to kiss the woman. He pulled away from her lips to kiss her neck, causing her to moan.
"Seiya," she whispered, pulling him back to her lips and running her hand through his hair. He leaned into her more, causing his hardness to rub against her. He pulled away from her and looked into her eyes once more. "I love you so much."
His eyes lit up, and he kissed her again. That last line wasn't scripted, she had said that on her own.
"That's enough," the director called.
Seiya grudgingly pulled away from the girl, and sat on the bed trying to hide his excitement.
"That was perfect!" The man in charge exclaimed walking toward the two. "That was the last shot that we needed. All that's left is editing and putting this video together."
"We're done?" Usagi asked.
"Yup. Usagi, it was a pleasure working with you, I hope I get to do it again soon," he said offering her his hand.
"The pleasure was all mine," she replied shaking his hand.
"Seiya, I'll be in touch." He walked away.
Usagi looked at the man beside her. "Will you take me home?"
"Of course."
What will happen now? Seiya knows Usagi loves him, but he doesn't know she and Mamoru are through. What will happen when he finds out? Read the next chapter to find out. And as always, review!
