24 - Revelations
Haruka parked her car right next to the bar's entry door. She saw a tall, short black haired, good looking young man, and she smiled at him, as he nodded his head at her, a big box in his hands.
She walked up to him.
"Need any help with that?" she asked.
"Oh no, I'm fine" he assured her "Looking for Jad?" he guessed.
The blonde nodded her head. She felt Michiru's hand in hers, and she turned to her girlfriend, smiling.
"Michi, this is Mamoru" she introduced them "Jadeite's friend slash partner"
"Nice to meet you" she said, smiling at him.
"Likewise" he said "I would shake your hand, but you know..." he apologized, looking down at the box in his hands. He then looked at the blonde "He's in the back office, doing inventory" he informed "I have to get going now, wife's waiting home"
Haruka smiled, nodding her head "How is she?" she asked.
He smiled proudly at her "Baby's coming any moment now" he answered, before throwing the box on the passenger seat, and getting on his car himself.
They waved goodbye to him as he speed out, and then they got inside the bar.
They found the young tall blonde man standing next to his desk at the back office, a notebook in one hand, making notes.
"Haruka, hi" he said, upon noticing her "Didn't expect you here" he then smiled at the aquamarine haired girl standing next to his sister "Oh, Michiru, how nice to see you again"
"It's nice to see you too, Jadeite" she said.
"Mom's in town" Haruka said, going straight to the point.
And when he smiled, looking somewhat guilty at her, a hand going up to grab his short blonde hair, she narrowed her eyes at him.
"What did you do?" she asked, suspiciously.
"Me? What do you mean?" he asked, playing innocent.
Michiru giggled, and decided that maybe they needed some time alone. Besides, she needed to pay a little visit to the ladies' room. And she could trust her tall girlfriend wouldn't kill her brother... right?
"Gotta use the little ladies' room" she said, before disappearing behind the door, running all the way to the restroom.
"Jadeite" Haruka said, in a warning tone, crossing her arms over her chest.
"I might have said something to her over the phone..." he started, hesitantly, but when her sister got near him, he panicked "Ok, I told her I'm dating someone and she wants to meet her!" he admitted.
Haruka blinked at that, surprised.
"Really? Who?" she asked. But then she frowned, and smacked him on the head "And what about Rei, you moron?"
Jadeite smiled at her "What exactly makes you think it's not Rei?" he asked, smugly.
The tall blonde woman's eyes got wide open at that.
"You're shitting me!" she exclaimed.
"No, I'm not" he said, still smiling at her "We sort of got together a few days ago... and mom called me yesterday, and you know how she gets with all her 'future wife' questions and all. So I sort of... told her" he said, and then he frowned "God, if she's here now, she'd want to meet her..."
"No kidding" Haruka said "Rei's so going to kill you for this one"
The blonde man frowned "You gotta help me here" he said "Ok, here's what we're going to do. I'll bring her to your place for lunch, and you can call Eiru and ask him to pose as your boyfriend, so I won't be alone in there..."
"Eiru?" the tall woman asked, frowning "Why would I call him?"
"He's back in town"
"I know that" she said, still frowning.
"Oh, so you're onto him already" he said, mockingly "I always thought you two made such a nice couple..."
"Why is everyone trying to get me back with him?" she asked, raising her hands up in the air "I'm not interested, ok?"
He raised an eyebrow at her "Oh, I don't know, maybe because there's a hot history there?" he asked "Not that I know the details, of course... and I really don't want to know!" he exclaimed.
Haruka rolled her eyes at him "You said it yourself, it's history! Way in the past!" she exclaimed "And I'm dating someone, so I'm really not..."
"Oh really? And who might that be?" Jadeite asked, interrupting her.
And at that exact moment, the door opened, and in walked a young, long black haired, and quite sleepy looking man. But when he saw the tall blonde woman, he walked right up to her, frowning at her.
"You have some explaining to do, Tenoh" he said.
She frowned "Excuse me?"
"Are you dating Michiru?" he asked "Because the way you two were acting the other night, and then disappearing together like that..."
"What?" Jadeite asked, his eyes wide open, and incredulously looking at his sister.
Haruka narrowed her eyes at Seiya "Thanks, Kou" she murmured, before turning to her brother "Like I said, I'm dating someone, Michiru to be exact, so I'm not really interested in..."
"Are you serious?" Jadeite asked, interrupting her "I mean, I know you're kinda wild and crazy and all, and if you like to experience, then go ahead and be my guest. But you can't possibly be considering introducing her to mom..."
"And why the hell not?" Haruka asked, hands on her hips, and getting angry now.
"Haru, you're my sister, and I love you. And she seems like a really nice girl and all" he said "But do you really want to throw something like this to mom? We all know you're never serious with anyone..."
"I am serious!" she exclaimed.
"I thought you said you two were in seriously" Seiya said, at the same time, frowning at her.
"We are!"
"Come on, Haruka" Jadeite insisted "How can you be so sure about...?"
"Because I'm in love with her!" she finally yelled.
Jadeite blinked at her, surprised out of his skin at the revelation.
But then he smiled, looking at some point behind his sister, before looking back at her "And I take it you never really told her that, did you?" he said, pointing at the now frozen aquamarine haired woman standing at the door frame.
Haruka turned around, and locked eyes with the young woman standing there.
"You are?" Michiru asked, looking directly at the tall blonde woman, completely ignoring the other two occupants of the room.
"I really hope you're not playing around..." Jadeite said, but shut his mouth before saying anything else, when his sister glared at him with an unfriendly, threatening look.
He smiled innocently then, making his way to the door "Come on, Seiya, time to give these two a little privacy" he said. But when the black haired man wouldn't move, he jerked his arm, rather strongly "Now!"
The blonde man walked out of the room, dragging a black haired, surprised but still amused looking man with him, and closed the door behind them.
Michiru followed them with her eyes, and once the door was closed, she turned back to look at the silent Haruka.
"Did you mean that?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper "You... you never said anything..."
The blonde rubbed the back of her neck, nervously.
"Yeah... I... I um..." she stuttered. She took a deep breath, and looked directly into those big blue eyes she was so in love with "I was trying to find the right moment to tell you. I'm sorry you found out like this, it's not exactly... romantic... at all" she apologized "I know it's too soon, and you don't have to say anything, I mean, I understand..."
She couldn't finished her sentence, because the aquamarine haired woman launched herself into her arms, crushing their mouths together and kissing her deeply.
Her soft body pressed against Haruka's, her hands grabbing short blonde locks, keeping her there. And she returned the strong embrace, her hand going around the other woman's waist, the other one cupping her face, her thumb caressing her soft skin.
The need for air made them break the kiss, and Michiru looked up at the tall blonde woman, her arms hanging from her neck.
"I love you, Ruka" she whispered, and then she smiled softly at the blonde's surprised face "I'm so in love with you. I can't even sleep if you're not there with me..."
Haruka kissed her again, showering her face with soft, butterfly kisses, and when Michiru giggled, happily, she looked down on her, smiling softly and lovingly.
"I love you, Michi" she said, her voice a sensual, husky whisper "I love you, so, so much"
Michiru kissed her lips "I love you too, Ruka" she whispered back, looking into those soft green eyes she was so crazy about.
A soft knock on the door got their attention, followed by Jadeite's voice "Don't get too comfy in there, you two" he joked "We have one crazy mother to meet!"
