Usagi quickly threw the covers over her head as the thunder rolled into the air. Her body shook in fear and she tightly squeezed the stuffed pink bunny Mamoru gave her for her last birthday. Of all the nights he was scheduled off, he had to be called in to perform surgery and left her alone at home to fend this storm off herself. She had always hated storms ever since she could remember. The rest senshi of the senshi weren't terrified of storms like she was. She was a future queen of Earth; queens were supposed to be calm, elegant, and collected at all times. Usagi hugged the stuffed animal tighter and her thoughts were wiped away as another bolt of lightning lit the night sky. Her eyelids drooped with heaviness and she slowly felt herself falling asleep comforted by the little stuffed bunny.
Her eyes slid open, feeling like there was sand in them, when she felt the bed dip with a familiar weight beside her and comforting arms wrap around her waist. The storm was over and all she could hear was her love's rapid heartbeat.
"Mamo-chan…"
"I'm sorry, Usako. I hurried home as fast as I could after the storm but-"
She turned around to place a finger on his lips, quieting him. "Shh, let's just sleep. We've both had a long day."
With their foreheads touching and loving smiles gracing their lips, they fell asleep in each other's arms.
