5. She keeps Me Warm
I can't change
even if I tried
even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love
she keeps me warm
she keeps me warm
-"She keeps me warm" by Mary Lambert
Hotaru sighed as she took off her rain coat at the entrance of the dress shop and was careful to hang up her jacket. She knew she must have looked ridiculous in her hospital scrubs, but she didn't want to be late for the dress fitting for Usagi. It had taken nearly a year for Usagi to decide on a dress. And she was the lucky girl who was going to see it first. Hotaru knew it was because Usagi liked Hotaru's criticisms better. The others were a bit harsher, but right now, Usagi needed Hotaru's observations without Rei's side remarks.
The room that she entered was filled with mirrors and white fluffy dresses. It was hard not to run her fingers over the fabric and she probably would've if she hadn't see a mirror image of her standing in the middle of the room.
"The…" Hotaru blinked a few times before the reflection gave her a shit-eating grin that Hotaru recognized instantly. "Loki?!"
"The moon girl called and she said she needed some girl time with you while she tried on some new dresses. I didn't know when you were going to get back so I improvised." Loki said in his voice. It was weird to hear his voice coming out of her mouth.
"She's going to kill you. You didn't go into the dressing room with her…" Hotaru saw that shit-eating grin again and gaped. "You bastard!"
"Such language coming out of a princess," Loki tsked as Hotaru turned bright red and ran over to smack him hard and started hitting him.
"You jerk! You ass! You…you… you…!"
"Hotaru?"
The two looked over at Usagi, dressed in the perfect wedding dress with wide eyes.
"Loki?!" Usagi screamed.
Loki decided that angering the moon girl and Hotaru was a very bad idea. It was hard not to laugh at the angry flush on her cheeks.
Here we go! It's just a quick fun thing before the plot kicks in.
