Story Seven: Chicken Sandwich

Summary: Filled with jealously and insecurity Mamoru asks Usagi a question and instantly regrets it.

----

Usagi was drooling.

Out of his peripherals Mamoru watched his girlfriend hastily ripping open the plastic wrap before sinking her teeth into her chicken sandwich with slight longing. "Mmm, oh god I love you," Usagi gushed towards her tasty delight, her iris morphing into tiny hearts.

Beside her Mamoru sighed, his heart squeezing almost painfully inside his chest. 'This was a mistake,' His inner voice complained rather glumly. Already he couldn't help but curse the part of his brain that thought that taking Usagi to a food carnival would be a perfect date opportunity. For nearly three hours now the former prince had to endure his girlfriend's love confessions to every delectable delight she'd gotten her greedily little hands on.

Not only had he felt neglected but a part of him wanted to chide her using those three sacred words so casually.

Insecurity began to bubble to the surface and he had to wonder if her confessions to a slimy piece of chicken meant more to her then every declaration of love she'd made for him.

"Who do you love more the sandwich or me?"

No sooner had the words left his lips did he instantly regret them.

It was childish.

An impossible and unnecessary question.

Not to mention awfully immature.

But, damnit his heart was screaming for the answer and his mind rationalized that on more than one occasion Usagi had been known to ask him impossible not to mention childish questions that he'd been forced to answer.

Hesitantly Mamoru shifted towards Usagi watching as she paused in mid-chew to glance at him before she continued chewing, her face appearing thoughtful. "Well," She began after she swallowed. "That's a hard question."

At her side Mamoru could feel his heart falter, 'No, its not.' He wanted to scream at the top of his lungs but insecurity robbed of him of a voice at that precise moment.

"Your both so wonderful but," Sticking out the tip of her tongue Usagi leaned towards Mamoru and licked the side of his face. "He," She gestured towards the sandwich, "Tastes better." Her face was slightly apologetic while Mamoru whipped her saliva away with the back of his hand. "And, we can't forget that this chicken sandwich doesn't get embarrassed when he brushes his crust against my lips in public." For pure emphasis or spite, Mamoru couldn't be sure, Usagi planted a kiss on the sandwich's crust. "Nor does he mind when we hold hands."

Mamoru couldn't help but raise a speculative eyebrow, "Hold hands?"

"Yeah," Usagi nodded, raising the sandwich in her hands up slightly. "Right now we're holding hands and see he's not even blushing or complaining."

He couldn't help but glare at her, so PDA's weren't his strong suit that didn't mean she had to throw it in his face. But, as he continued to brood a new strategy formed in his mind. "Well," He licked his lips. "That measly piece of chicken can only provide you with only a few moments of pleasure and if you haven't forgotten I can provide that service for hours on end." A smirk graced his lips when he could practically see the wheels in Usagi's head beginning to turn.

Oh! The odds were definitely shift in-

"But, there was that isolated incident where that service only lasted two minutes," Usagi replied quite matter-of-factly.

-The sandwich's favor.

Low blow.

Mamoru stood staring at his girlfriend completely shocked and slack jawed. "That was only one time and besides it was technically your fault if you hadn't done that with your hips-"

"-you know the sandwich wouldn't be trying to blame his shortcomings on me."

That was it!

Something inside Mamoru snapped.

A primal sounding snarl ripped up from Mamoru's chest and before any rational thought could stop him he was already reaching over to snatch away the sandwich from Usagi's grasp. "I'm sick of this game Usako," He shouted afterwards slamming the sandwich on the ground.

Placing her index finger on her chin Usagi turned to stare at Mamoru's reddened face. "You know," She began, placing a tentative hand on his shoulder instantly feeling his tense muscle relax under her fingertips. "Even though your angry right now and jealous I somehow feel really happy." She moved to hug his arm to her chest but before he even had a chance to reply her stomach audibly groaned in protest. "My heart is anyways."

Another sigh escaped past Mamoru's lips, "I'm being a jerk."

"Yeah," Usagi agreed rather quickly. "But you're my jerk."

A small smile spread across Mamour's face as his face softened. "How about I buy you something tasty as an apology." Usagi could only nod in response before Mamoru leaned down and stole a kiss from her plump lips.

Crossing the courtyard in a few long strides Mamoru walked up to a vendor's stand. "Hi, how can I help you?" The man behind the counter asked politely.

"Give me anything besides a chicken sandwich, ice cream or chocolate." He could only sigh at the vendor's confused expression. "I need something I can compete with."

Fin

In her seat Usagi whipped towards her boyfriend, "Gee, Mamo-chan you turned into me in this story."

Mamoru straightened up, "Well, there is an old saying that says that when your with the person you love for a long time you tend to take pieces of them inside of yourself." Usagi beamed at his words. "Unfortunately, I took in your jealous and irrational side."

"Mamo-chan!"

"Ah, Usako look the parade is starting, isn't it lovely?"

"Mamo-chan!!"

An: I really hope that you enjoyed my parody of Usagi in the Sailor Moon movie where she asks Mamoru the impossible question of "Who do you love more me or Chibiusa?" and the parody at the end from Mamoru forgetting Usagi's first kiss and trying to distract her with the moon.

Ah, unfortunately I have to use my brother's laptop for a while and his word processor is kind of funky. I'm not used to it yet and it keeps on changing things I type without permission, totally needs a time out.. Or rather be dipped in water. So if you see any mistakes I'm sorry.
