Usagi was the first to wake up. The sunlight shined onto her face causing her to squint and raise her hand to block it. She shook the sleep away and groggily looked over at the slumbering man that lay beside her. She looked at him serenely and lightly stroked his jet black bangs out of his eyes. His face looks so peaceful and childlike. Usagi lightly kissed his cheek and decided to get dressed. She stretched, pulled her feet over to the side of the bed, walked over to his closet to put on one of his long sleeved button up shirts, and made her way to the bathroom. One look at herself in the mirror and she started to crack up. I. Look. Horrible.

Her makeup had left tiny smears and tints to hint its previous appearance. Her hair was matted and stuck to one side of her head. One good thing, though, was that her bruises were completely gone.

Usagi turned on the faucet in the sink and washed her face once the water turned warm. Knowing that there was no way she would ever get her hair dry if she took a shower, Usagi decided to just brush her hair out, even though it still retained the waves and curls from last night's hairstyle. She sighed. This will definitely take some time.

She propped herself up onto the bathroom counter and sat comfortably with her feet in the sink facing the mirror. She leaned down to pull open the top drawer, managed to find a comb, and started the treacherous journey.

Mamoru awoke when the sun's heat had started hitting his face. He sat up and wiped his hands roughly over his hair and face. His raspy morning voice let out a groan while he stretched and stood up from the bed. He sleepily made his way to the bathroom not awake enough to remember that he wasn't alone. The minute Mamoru stepped into the bathroom, though, he eyes were jolted awake and his memory flooded. He saw the beautiful nymph sitting on his bathroom counter with her golden locks all about her and recalled the details of the previous night. Thank God it wasn't a dream.

He leaned against the door frame and smirked lightly at her expression; she had determined eyes and her tongue stuck partially out of her mouth in concentration as she used his comb to find her way through the tangled mess that was her hair.

After five minutes of admiring her, he walked over, kissed her cheek softly, and pulled out another comb to start helping her. Geez she does this every morning? How does her arm not get tired? Several minutes went by and they were through.

Usagi beamed at him through the mirror when they had finished her chaotic mane and used the bobby pins from the night before to put her hair up in her regular buns. Mamoru watched in amusement as Usagi's fingers expertly twisted and manipulated her hair into the style that she was known for. Finally finished, Usagi sighed and looked at her reflection once more before Mamoru had started to help her down from the countertop.

"How about you and I spend the day together?" Mamoru looked at her with dreamy eyes and lightly played with her hair. I just spent the last 20 minutes helping her untangle it, but I can't seem to stop touching it.

"I'd love to, but we're going to have to stop by my apartment so I can change." Usagi started to get dressed underneath Mamoru's shirt and moved towards her shoes.

Mamoru quickly put on clean clothes and grabbed his keys. "Let's hurry then cause I'm starving!"

Usagi turned the key in the door of her apartment and was instantly overwhelmed by all of the people that were there. Apparently Makoto had known exactly what happened and called the rest of the clan to get the dirty details from Usagi. Unfortunately for them, they weren't expecting Mamoru to come in right behind her. Their once gleeful and enlarged sparkling eyes radically turned into various phases of awkward expressions. Mamoru wasn't lost on their plan or their now embarrassed demeanors and decided that it was safe to break the silence that weighed over the room. "I'm taking Usako to breakfast. She's just here to change."

Usagi came back out of her room in a day dress with flats and gave the girls a look that said "I'll tell you everything when I get back!" She smiled at Minako's knowing expression and waved her fingers at them as she closed the door behind her and Mamoru. Like I was going to NOT tell them! I tell them everything! I'm surprised that they're behaving this way though. It's not like Minako didn't already lose her virginity a year and a half ago to that Kunzite character. That's where I got all of my information from. Why do they need another play by play? I guess I'd act the same way if it happened to Makoto, Rei, or Ami. Oh my gosh. Ami. I'll definitely have open ears for that discussion.

"Everything alright, Usako?" Usagi looked up at Mamoru who had been looking at her oddly. She had been so deep in thought that she had continued to walk past Mamoru's car even after he had the door open for her. Usagi blushed a little. "Oh. Gomen. I was thinking about how silly my friends are."

When they got to the café, Usagi and Mamoru contemplated over the menus. They found that they both thought two of the dishes both looked very appetizing; the double chocolate chip waffles with hashbrowns and the strawberry cheesecake pancakes that came with scrambled eggs.

Usagi pursed her lips and creased her brow. "How about I order one and then you order the other, Mamo-chan?" Mamoru smiled and agreed.

Once their food came, they cut their food in half and put it on the other's plate. They discussed their most embarrassing moments, their most formative, and their future goals; determined to know everything they could about their counterpart.

They had already been acting like they were together for years during the last few days of their relationship, but since last night, they became even more comfortable and in step with one another. It was as if they were an old married couple; accustomed to their moods and movements as well as their own, but still retaining the excitement and affection that was unique to the beginning of a relationship.

With their mouths full of food and their smiling faces that laughed frequently at each other; the couple radiated their bliss throughout the restaurant. Other customers had a hard time not noticing the couple that sat happily next to the café's window. The morning sun had been shining brightly on them and outlined their figures; they were the perfect image of what destined soul mates were supposed to look like.

Mamoru took Usagi's hand and kissed her palm, wrist, and forearm in a tactful distraction to steal her last bite of waffle. Usagi squeaked when she realized his deceit, but reacted too late. Mamoru had slickly put the piece of waffle into his mouth and laughed at her bewildered expression. "Mamo-chan! You food stealer!" Mamoru started a warm chuckle that brought overflowing delight to Usagi's heart. She loved that she brought out the playful side of him. And she selfishly loved it even more knowing that he only was like this with her.

The couple's outing, however, had caught the eye of a certain waiter that worked at the café. When they had gotten up from their meal and walked towards the door, he was drawn by angelic laughter. He turned his head to find the source and the minute he did, his heart melted. The beautiful blonde emitted a type of warmth he had never felt before and radiated a beauty he was sure was otherworldly. The fact that she was there with another man held no consequence to him. Even as he heard her speak to the man, his responses faded into the background. Only she existed. She was exquisite; perfect. His eyes narrowed and took in every feature and detail of her as she walked out the door into the morning air. I've never seen such a creature in my entire existence. I must speak to her. I must have her. The café owner jolted the waiter out of his thoughts. "Demande! Clear these tables so that we can seat more customers!"

Demande looked at his boss and nodded. "Of course, but first I have to take care of something."

He tossed his towel over his shoulder and ran outside towards the golden haired beauty.
