She was smiling again. Perfect. Just peachy.

But then again when does Usagi not smile? he thought. Apart from when she's yelling at you of course.

He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. And there it is. She just turned the smile up a notch from "100 Watts – Look at me I'm so cute" to "Sultry – Kiss me now I'm begging you". Motoki as always was oblivious to the way the younger girl was looking at him. The stirrings of jealousy began but he refused to acknowledge what he was feeling. He gulped down two mouthfuls of scalding hot black coffee, trying to suppress what that damned "Sultry – Kiss me now I'm begging you" was doing to his insides.

As she began to skip away he noticed that her smile had softened to "Dreamy – Kami-sama I'm so lucky I'm in love" now that she'd had her daily dose of her beloved Motoki. She tripped and fell just as she was passing by his chair. He plastered a smirk on his face and said, "Jeez Odango can't you even take one step without klutzing out?"

Usagi jumped back up and glared at him before stalking out of the arcade. He nodded in satisfaction. It was better this way. If she was angry then those stupid smiles of hers wouldn't be able to hurt him.
