Michiru woke the next morning to sun in her face. She blinked the sleep away, looking around realizing that she was in their bed. 'How?' Last she remembered they'd been in the nursery. The thought left her as she caught sight of a piece of paper folder on Haruka's pillow. She picked it up and opened it. She smiled as the hand writing was clearly that of her lover.
Michiru,
I'll be back shortly, I had something I needed to take care of.
Love, Haruka.
Michiru smiled, then frowned, 'What could she possibly need to take care of?' with a shake of her head, Michiru climbed out of bed. She noted that she was not wearing what she had on last night, instead she was wearing one of Haruka's over sized shirts, which meant she'd falling asleep and Haruka had dressed her. The thought made Michiru smile. Haruka always was a lot sweeter than people gave her credit for. Michiru paused in her musings as her mind wandered to last night. 'We're really doing this, we're going to try and have a baby. Oh I hope Usagi was right. I hope it works.'
Michiru decided it was time to go clean up the mess in the nursery, she also thought that maybe she'd finish that painting. As Michiru walked into the Nursery she notice that the sheet was put back over the painting, that he toys had been picked up and placed where they belonged. " Haruka..." With a sigh Michiru turned, closing the door with a soft click. She was grateful that Haruka had cleaned up. She just wished she had something to do, as the urge to paint had passed. Perhaps later.
Michiru walked around the house, not seeing reason to change if she was the only one home and not planning on going anywhere. "I should call Usagi." Just as Michiru reached for her phone it lite up and the familiar melody of Bunny bunny foo foo meeting her ears. A smile came to her face as she snatched up the phone, finding it ironic that her Queen would be calling her at the exact moment she'd had the need of her.
"Hello, Usagi?"
" Michi-chan, How are you?" Usagi sounded overly happy, not that the girl wasn't always rather chipper.
"I'm well, I was just thinking of calling you."
There was a laugh from the other end, " I figured as much, You'll never guess who I just got done having brunch with..." Usagi's voice was light and teasing. Michiru blinked and suddenly she realized why Usagi had called. Haruka.
" I guess you know that we spoke about it last night then." Michiru wasn't upset with her lover, in fact she felt rather charmed that Haruka would go to Usagi to confirm what Michiru had told her or to ensure that the future Queen had in fact given her blessing to them. Which ever reason she may have had.
" Yes, I'm glad you finally spoke to her, I was starting to wonder..." Usagi's voice trailed off, It was in these small moments that she shared with the her Queen that she realized how much Usagi had grown in the last two years. She'd matured before their eyes and Michiru was glad that she had a friend in her Queen.
" I know, there was just never a good time to bring it up." Michiru knew it was a poor excuse, the tinkling laughter on the other end confirming it.
" We both know that's not all of it, but would you like to know what Haruka wanted?"
Michiru didn't say anything, she wanted to know, but she was sure that Haruka would tell her. That she wouldn't need to hear it from a third party. " No, Thank you, Usagi, but I'll just wait until she returns home. I'm sure we'll talk then. We still have so much to talk about."
On the other end Michiru could hear practically hear Usagi's smile of approval. " Michi-chan, You know everything will be fine. I've got to go now, Rei wanted me to meet her at crown to talk about something and I'm running a bit behind... One of these day's she's going to kill me."
Michiru laughed, Yes their little bunny had matured, but she would never be on time, Michiru had the thought that Usagi would be late to her own wedding. " Good-bye Usagi, thank you."
" You're welcome, Michiru." The call ended.
Michiru sat in the arm chair, pulling her feet up under her, staring off into space.
It wasn't until she felt a hand on her shoulder and heard her name that she realized that she'd been lost in her thoughts. "Michiru? Are you alright?" She looked up, meeting concerned teal eyes.
" I'm fine, Haruka, I was just thinking is all. When did you get back?" Michiru glanced at the clock on the book case and realized that it'd been over an hour since she'd spoken to Usagi. She couldn't have been that deep in thought.
" About five minutes ago, Michiru." The chair dipped as Haruka sat on the edge.
"Where were you, Haruka?" She eyed the blonde, she knew already that she'd gone to see Usagi, but it shouldn't have taken her an hour to get home. Her question was met with a soft charming smile. The kind Haruka used when she wanted to soften Michiru up before she said something stupid.
" I went to see Usagi." Michiru's left brow raised in question, urging the blonde to continue. " I wanted to talk to her and make sure that she was ok with this." There it was, there was the stupid comment. Michiru shifted as her legs had fallen asleep in her daze.
" I told you she was the one who told me about it... Why wouldn't she be ok with this, Haruka?' Michiru's voice was polite, not betraying her hurt.
" I wanted to make sure, because..." Haruka shifted, reaching into her pocket. Michiru leaned forward trying to see what Haruka was going for. " I wanted to make sure that I also had her blessing for this." Haruka slipped off the chair into a kneeling position, pulling out a blue velvet box.
" Haruka?" Michiru was sure that she heard a pitch of panic in her voice, eyes widened as it seem to crash down on her like a wave what Haruka was doing.
Haruka smiled at her, those teal eyes dancing, " Michiru, I went to Usagi to ask for her blessing for us to marry, and start our family properly." The pale haired senshi opened the velvet box revealing a gorgeous sapphire ring with two small diamonds on either side. It was perfect, not ostentatious but classic.
Michiru's hands flew to her mouth as she gasped, " Haruka, it's beautiful!" She stared into those teal eyes and saw so many promises. She saw the love that Haruka felt for her and in her own ocean blue eyes she knew that Haruka saw the same.
" Michiru, I know things have never been easy, with our mission and what is required of us, but I think that we could have the life that we dreamed of now that things have settled, I've always thought that we'd be together." Haruka stopped, shaking her head. " What I mean is, Michiru, will you be My Wife?"
Michiru flung her arms around Haruka's neck, knocking the other woman to the floor, her lips found the teal eyed beauties, "Yes." Her reply was muffled in the kiss but she knew Haruka had heard her by the upward tilt of the lips against hers. She threaded her fingers in the silky tresses of her lover, feeling a tender hand at the back of her neck, she deepened the kiss.
A little fluffy, but who doesn't love HarukaMichiru fluff.
