100 New Beginnings: UsakoMamoru Drabble challenge

by nessabutterfly

My drabbles for the Usako Mamoru Livejournal community challenge. All first season Usagi and Mamoru. There won't actually be 100 drabbles here because a few of the themes were written as mini-series which will be posted, combined, as one-shots.

Tap, tap, tap, tap. A pair of tiny Mary Janes were clicking rhythmically on the pavement as the petite blond grew increasingly impatient. Jabbing her slender finger at the button again, she sighed and the tapping resumed.

"Odango Atama, whatever are you doing?" came a patronizing voice from behind her.

Flipping her long golden pigtails over her shoulder, she turned to face her mocker. "If you can't see, I'm waiting to cross the street." She spun quickly on her heel, whipping Mamoru across the chest with her hair.

Taking aim at the button again, Usagi launched an all out attack on the thing. Mamoru stepped backwards calmly and waited. After another minute and another change of the light, Usagi stomped her feet and flung her body around to face him. "What is wrong with this stupid light? It won't change!"

With just a hint of a smile, Mamoru silently reached around her and pushed the small button on the opposite side of the post. Moments later, the walk signal lit up and he took a bewildered Usagi by the hand like a small child, and led her across the street.
