The car creaked as if it were crying out in agonizing anguish, the suspension being thoroughly tested with every one of their synced movements. Curving her waist up to meet his body she reached up, attempting to draw him ever closer by wrapping her arms around his neck. Instead of giving into her silent demand he pulled himself out of her reach, pushing her back down against the hood.

Her beautiful features twisted with bewilderment but before she could find her voice he pried open her mouth using his index finger. "Usako," He spoke her name breathlessly watching as her pink tongue flicked against his fingertip. "This is your best face," He smirked.

Face flushed, breath ragged and tears pooling at the corner of her eyes.

Yes, this was his Usako's best expression, one contorted in sheer pleasure.

Usagi looked away, slightly embarrassed when he hid his perfectly sculpted face behind a camera. "Mamo-chan, don't." She pleaded but the protest died in her throat when he brought his body closer to hers once more.

Flash, every movement, every sound he desired nothing more but then to capture it on film.

The lens replaced Mamoru's own sapphire orbs until the very moment when the water that had been pooling at the corner of her eyes finally spilled over, her thighs tightening around him. His tongue and lips desired nothing more than to connect, tasting her in an earth shattering kiss but his pride wouldn't allow it.

Detangling his limbs from hers Mamoru shifted his eyes away, "Get in." He ordered in a monotone voice as she slid off the hood.

Feeling utterly perplexed Usagi could only stare at him, "Mam-"

"-your husband is waiting for us Usako." He interrupted her smoothly while his fingers ran alongside the door handle.

"Not yet," Usagi's voice trembled. "He won't be my husband for another two hours," She said buttoning her shirt as she spoke.

Placing the camera into his pocket Mamoru shifted his eyes from the car window towards her own azure colored orbs. "This," He opened up the car door and signaled for her to do the same. "Will be the last time," He said firmly before dipping down into his seat. Biting her trembling lower lip she followed suit wordlessly.

Weddings were normally known for their joyous atmosphere but this union would have an air and tone much akin to a funeral. In less then two hours their love would be murdered when she is forced to wear another man's ring and listen to his faux vows. Her heart cried and dreamed that life would become a fairy tale. With the wave of a magic wand she could free herself from life's obligations and run to the ends of the earth with her true love.

Watching her face through the rearview mirror Mamoru tightened his grip on the steering wheel. Without a shadow of doubt he knew that this situation was devastating her and with that knowledge imbedded in his brain he knew to keep his lips pressed together. He refused to spend his last moments with her confessing the feelings that they both knew were true.

Mamoru swallowed the words, vowing to live a condemned life forever the prisoner to the phrase, what if.

At least he gotten the opportunity to capture and immortalize her on film.

An: Don't hit me, romantic is sometimes tragic. So, vote time… I really want to keep this in the T category but as I'm coming up with some of the one-shot ideas my mind once and a while goes to M side a tiny bit. Do you guys mind if I just mark the chapters that are M (there won't be that many just one in a dozen)?

Urg, sorry it took me a bit to update my mind has been everywhere… I've officially started over eight one-shots and haven't been able to finish any of them. o.0 so bad. But look forward to an adult retelling of The Little Mermaid staring Mamoru and Usagi (filled with cross-dressing mahahah), stories with assassins (rated M for gore), hospitals, cookies, cancer and plenty of sugar.

Beloved Dawn (the mood swings are horrible I had to deal with nine months of a prego boss), Cosmic-lover (Yes, poor Mamoru), Krys7 (Love the drive-thru), SerentiyMoonGodness (thanks sweetie), Summerheart8, CharmedSerenity3 (lots of patience I believe) B-ko, Jessicam242 (lol), Neko (me too), Midnight blue08, Moonkiss (cries with ya, no blue bunny ice cream? Whoa, greedy ppl slap em) Saiyagurl87 (go work on yer fics before I bitch slap you), -Team Edward32-, Mikanxnatsume1228 (I've seen pics of gakuen alice before but never read it cause it didn't catch my attention. Thank you for the compliment) THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS FOR THE LOVE AND REVIEWS!!!

Eh, and you think Usagi's ice cream reaction was bad you should have seen mine when I found out I'm lactose intolerance and can't have ice cream or cheese without getting sick. Oh! the tragedy.

Ills.
