Author notes:
Here's my second submission for the SM rare pair week 2023! Today's Haruka and Usagi's turn :)
Prompt: Sweet / Spicy
Haruka knew it, she fucking knew it.
Usagi, her sweet, bun-haired princess had a spicy side. She knew her radar couldn't be wrong about it, yet it had taken a while to find out the truth for herself.
That day had begun like any other: Michiru was away touring, like she had been for months now, and Haruka was bored out of her mind. It was a Saturday and the short haired woman looked at her reflection when she turned off the TV, finding out she had not showered, or combed her hair or even gotten up from her bed all day.
She gave herself a disgusted look and quickly rose to her feet, not sure what else to do from there. She walked, barefoot, to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of wine as she also grabbed some croissants she had laying around.
"Ugh" she growled at the fact she had nothing else to do and had all this energy stored within herself.
She quickly made a list of people to call or text to hang out and found out her options were running short: Setsuna? No way, she hated that new boyfriend of hers. Hotaru? Ever since she hit puberty she would rather die than to be seen with her Haruka-papa, ungrateful brat. Did she ever hang out with any of the other inner senshis? Not really, though that girl Minako sure seemed like fun, she thought they had nothing in common.
"What about…?" Her fingers danced around the call button. She was not sure if Usagi would be down to hang out with her, what did she even like to do on her free nights?
She shrugged and just made the call.
"Harukaaaaaa!" Usagi answered with a pouty voice.
"Hey Koneko-chan, it's been a while"
"Yeah it certainly has! I thought you had forgotten about me!"
"Like I ever could" Haruka got in a better mood by just listening to her princess sulk.
They spent some good minutes catching up and Haruka realized with shame she indeed had not called Usagi in a while, though her Koneko was more than capable of using a phone too.
"No freaking way" she mumbled, not believing her ears. "So you're single?"
"Yeah, kind of, yeah." Usagi reconfirmed.
"And are we okay with this new… status?" Haruka felt glad to hear her laugh.
"Yeah, I mean, sure it has been weird to get used to it but I'm fine with it. It really was the best thing to do, considering, you know, past events."
Usagi had just told her about the decision that Mamoru and her had made when he was again accepted into the student exchange program. Breaking up was the mature thing to do after last time, when he had disappeared without a trace and Usagi had been left in shambles.
Yeah, it was not Mamoru's fault but the incident shone a light into their relationship about insecurities that needed to be addressed. And they were older and wiser now, they knew breaking up for a while was not a death sentence on their love story, but more of a pause for them to live a little their twenties as they should.
Haruka was frankly surprised by the way those two had managed things and she even felt a little envious. Michiru had been away for months too, and the tour was only running longer and longer. When she left they didn't even talk about it much, they just sulked on how much they would miss each other.
But did they? Haruka was not sure. She missed… something. Back in time, when Michiru and her were in high school they would be at the best parties, they would ride with celebrities and famous racers. They were the it couple, and she had not noticed how much pride she took out of that fact.
"Well, then it's settled. We're going out tonight."
"We are?" Usagi asked like she had not heard right.
"Yeah, you just said you needed to enjoy your youth, no strings attached. Let's do that Koneko-chan."
"Oh! Uhm, there is actually this club downtown I've been wanting to check out for a while now but none of the girls wanted to come. It's perfect for you and me! Oh and can we get ready together? I could use some tips."
"Tips?"
"Oh, you see, this club is for ladies-only and well… you seem to have good experience in that specific field."
Haruka knew it, She fucking knew it.
She smirked against the phone even though she knew Usagi couldn't see her. "Okay, then be at my place at eight sharp."
─── ･ ｡ﾟ : *. .* : ﾟ. ───
Haruka was fresh out of the shower when the bell rang. She quickly wore the first sports combo she found on her closet and almost sprinted like an excited deer to attend the front door.
Usagi said hi with a bright smile, carrying with her half of her closet.
"Oh I just didn't know what to wear!" She pouted as she collapsed exhausted on the couch.
Haruka began to unpack right there in the living room, as Usagi tried to recover herself. The bun haired girl watched in horror as her friend looked with raised eyebrows at her moons and stars panties that she had just taken out of her backpack. She quickly grabbed those out of her hand, putting them in her pocket. "How did they get there?"
"Don't be ashamed. I think they are sweet." Haruka smirked. "Before we get to pick your outfit, maybe elaborate on your expectations for tonight?"
"My expectations?" Usagi began to think about them making the funniest faces. Haruka let herself rest on the floor, looking at her with amusement. "What do you mean exactly?"
"Are you on a recon mission or on a hunting mission? Do you wanna keep it sweet or make it spicy?"
Ugh, Haruka thought when she saw her princess blush. So so sweet.
"I am… not sure". Haruka couldn't help but laugh. "Hey don't make fun of me, this is all new to me, you know?"
"I know. Don't worry, it is really not that different from hooking up with guys."
"It is not?" Usagi highly doubted that. "Can I ask… how did you know you would rather kiss girls than kiss boys?"
Haruka shrugged as she kept on taking Usagi's clothes out of the small suitcase, laying them on the floor so she could try to put together some outfits.
"I've always been like this. There was no confusion, no other option for me. I was lucky enough to grow up in a home that normalized it, so for me falling for girls was just as normal as falling for boys, like my sister does."
Usagi nods, realizing she really had not heard anything before from Haruka's family. It was interesting to find out she had a sister.
"And what about you princess? What makes you feel like going for it tonight?" Haruka asked without looking at her, still focusing on the clothes on the floor.
"Oh, uhm, well, I've been thinking a lot about Seiya lately." She confessed, hoping Haruka wouldn't mind that she had just mentioned one of her least favorite people. "With Mamoru away and everything."
"And what about it?" Haruka couldn't stop her voice from sounding dry.
"Well, you know he and I kinda fell for each other back then. And even though we never even kissed I wondered and fantasized about it a lot." Usagi smiled as she watched Haruka pout, she looked so sweet. "But the interesting thing was that i would not only think about kissing Seiya, but also kissing Fighter, you know, in her senshi form."
Haruka finally turned to the bun haired girl that had crouched down to the floor right beside her. "Oh, you mean, in her girl state."
"Yeah. I mean, I really liked them, no matter what kind of body they had. So, it made me wonder then and now I am kind of revisiting those feelings again. I thought I could use my single card to find out if I can also like girls the way I like boys or if perhaps Seiya was the only exception."
"I see." Haruka accepted her reasons, they made sense and she was right about that being the right time to experiment a little. "Alright, I've put these options down for you, so what is it gonna be? Sweet or spicy?"
─── ･ ｡ﾟ : *. .* : ﾟ. ───
Haruka watched from the bar how her creation was having such a successful night. Usagi was dancing with an amazingly good looking red haired girl, who was now getting too close to her princess for her own liking. She decided to order another vodka tonic before she could rise to her feet and go there to dance in between them.
Haruka had always had a thing for Usagi that she could not really grasp. She had always thought it was some sort of residual devotion feeling her past self had for her royal princess. Whenever she felt like she was getting into dangerous situations her alarm rang and she became this feral animal willing to bite whoever tried to get too close to her.
And Usagi wasted no time to get bolder and bolder, perhaps finding courage on the drinks she had practically inhaled when they first walked in. Haruka bit her lip, trying to control her impulses when she realized that the girl was holding Usagi by the waist, whispering things into her ears, moving their hips together. Luckily for her the song stopped and Usagi excused herself away from the she-wolf.
Haruka was glad to have her back to her side, sliding the drink she had been taking care of for her.
"That girl was ready to go home with you."
"You think so? I mean she is gorgeous but we were just dancing."
Haruka smirked against her own glass, enjoying her princess' innocence. Once her drink was gone she decided she was done sitting for the night. She took Usagi's hand and dragged her back to the dance floor.
At the end, the bun haired girl had decided to combine the two outfits Haruka had picked for her. A nice mixture of sweet and spicy. She was wearing a pink mini skirt with tiny golden sparkles, paired with a golden chained top that showed half her cleavage and had no back. Haruka had lended her an exquisite tie necklace that was long enough to be lost into her breasts and had pulled the whole outfit together by wearing her favorite pink boots. Usagi felt gorgeous and sexy without actually changing her essence that much.
Haruka, on the other hand, was wearing black trousers along with a black lace shirt that she wore unbuttoned, only a white silk top covering her chest.
They both danced to the hyped pop music, getting into a rhythm that felt natural for them, like if they danced together all the time. Usagi twirled as she passed her own hands all through her body. Haruka smiled like an idiot when her perfume hit her nostrils, making her dizzy.
She decided to grab her princess by the waist and pull her back against her torso, now both swaying together to the beat of the music. Haruka's fingers, which seemed to have a mind of their own now, caressed Usagi's belly, outlining the perimeter of her bellybutton.
"Mmm, that feels nice." Usagi mumbled as she kept on undulating her hips against her. She then stretched her neck to one side, positioning the back of her head on one of Haruka's shoulders, making her growl inside.
"Don't tempt fate" She whispered in her ear, though it seemed she needed to tell that to herself.
"Oh, like you've never thought of it before" Her princess bragged, making her body move in a more evocative way.
Haruka could not find reason within her to stop as she leaned down to kiss Usagi's neck.
She smirked with triumph when she raised her eyes and found out the whole club was watching them. Just like the old days, she thought briefly as she went back to keep on savoring Usagi's skin.
