Usagi laughed as she walked out the room "idiot" she screamed "let's go lover boys" she said as she walked down the stairs only to be greeted by 5 smiling and confused teens.
"Everything alright?" Lita asked
"Let me guess Mamoru?" Rei asked rolling her eyes as Usagi nodded.
After introducing everyone to Ken and explaining what happened, Lita started to cook. An hour later there was a knock at the door
Opening the door Usagi gasped as Seiya dropped a bowl of salad, causing it to shatter all over the ground
"Daddy?!" Usagi screamed in excitement
"Sir" seiya said less excited and more frightened
There at the door was Usagi's father Kenji and Seiya's father Coronal walker.
Military Life
Chapter 6
"Daddy?" Usagi was both excited and confused to see her father and Coronal walker standing at the door
"Well, are you just going to stand there ogling girl? Or are you gonna hug your old man?!" Kenji Tsukino smiled at his daughter as she ran into his arms.
"Uncle Kenji!" Minako yelled as she ran and hugged her uncle
"How's my little Love bug?" he asked sweetly
"Wonderful Unky!" she said with a large smile
"Rei, Ami you girls look as lovely as ever" he said with a wink as the girls also hugged their sudo father. "Ah, Motoki! Son you are growing to be a fine young man" he said pulling Motoki into a strong hug "might need to build some of that upper body strength though" he laughed as Motoki rubbed his hurt shoulders
"It's good to see you too sir" he said with a smile
Coronal walker walked over to his shocked son. "Private" he said in his deep stern voice
"Hey what's up with the noise?" Mamoru asked as he walked out of the kitchen with Ken "Mr. Tsukino!" he said shocked
"Oh my" Ken said as he saw the broken bowl under Seiya's feet "Seiya, what happen here?" he asked as he made a move toward seiya, Mamoru, being as observant as he is, noticed the fear in his new friends eyes. He looked from Seiya to Usagi, who also looked as if the word was about to end, to a very intimating man standing in front of Seiya, eyeing Ken strangely
"Clumsy" ken said giggling as he went to hold onto Seiya's hand, but before he could grab onto Seiya's hand Mamoru swept his hand into Kens "Mamoru san what are you-"
Mamoru, frantic and not sure what to do slammed his lips against Kens
There was silence throughout the house. After what seemed like eternity Usagi let out a snort, everyone turned to her, once her eyes met Mamoru's horrified shocked expression, she fell to the ground laughing hysterically.
"oh…oh my" Rei whispered as she stared at her brother in utter shock and relief "well this explains a lot" she said causing Usagi to laugh even harder.
Coronal walker looked to Kenji "this is Mamoru Chiba, the young boy I told you about"
"Ah" Walker said looking the boy up and down "it's alright son, Kenji informed me of you're…." He looked to Ken and then back to Mamoru "Sexual orientation"
"He WHAT?!" Mamoru found himself yelling as Seiya quickly elbowed him, after letting out an annoyed growl he took a breath "yes…my sexual ori- orientation" he said warily
In the back ground Usagi—who is still on the floor—continued to laugh as tears fell from her blue eyes "oh god" she laughed some more "I have to pee" she said jumping up and running to the bathroom
Kenji shook his head and placed two hands on Mamoru's shoulders "son, not that I didn't suspect it…know that this does not in any way change my opinion of you…" he closed his eyes and took a deep breath "I mostly blame myself…your father came to me wanting to place you into ROTC…but I assured him you were…well straight…" he looked to Ken who was incredible confused
"m-my f-father?" mamoru was stunned
"He seems like a nice young man, I am happy you found someone kind" Usagi walked back in, in time to hear her father's speech, she again busted out in hysteria leaning up against Seiya.
"Buns….I think you should stop laughing now" Seiya whispered as he kept his eyes on a very pissed off Mamoru
"Why?" Usagi asked through her laughs
"I think Mamoru might kill us…" he said as mamoru glared at him and Usagi "make that he WILL kill us…"
"You know lady bug, you could have given me a heads up" Usagi father whispered to her
"Well I didn't know you would be dropping by" she said with a laugh "so tell us, why are you home? Not that we're not happy to see you"
"We're on leave for only a few days" Kenji said with a smile
"I'm looking forward to seeing one of your games private! I'm sure your doing outstanding?" Walker asked his son who looked to the ground
"Actually sir…"
"He's doing amazingly sir" Mamoru interrupted "he's actually the teams Quarter back" he said smiling at Seiya
Seiya and Usagi stared at Mamoru in disbelief 'they can laugh their asses off if I kiss another man, but they can't believe me when I make up a simple lie?' he thought to himself "isn't that right Seiya?" Mamoru pushed the issue
"Oh, ah, yea" Seiya said shaking his head
"That's my boy!!" Walker said proudly causing seiya to smile "I knew you would get past that silly obsession with those sissy musicals" he added causing Seiya's smile to fall.
It was then that Ken understood what was going on.
"Not that musicals are bad" Walker said to Mamoru "I am sure you are amazing at it, it's just someone as delicate as yourself couldn't handle the blunt hits and manly battles in which a football player, like my boy here, goes through"
Mamoru stared at the man in disbelief "how is your father taking the news son?" Kenji asked
"Oh, Daddy is devastated" Rei said walking over to her brother, she as her friend Usagi, also found this situation quite entertaining.
Kenji was about to say something when Makoto walked into the room.
"Dinners Ready…wow you can cut the tension with a knife in here…." Lita looked at her friends as they all shook their head "what? What I miss?" she asked confused
"Mamoru is out of the "closet"" Rei said using air quotations
"oh that" Makoto said waving her hand in the air as everyone stared at her questionable "I've known that since that one time when we went on that camping trip 6 years ago, and he bitch and bitch the whole time about his hair, nails and pores…"
"Oh my god I totally remember that!" Minako said she began to laugh alongside Usagi.
"I can't help it if I like to stay clean!" he hissed
"Yes, but you did protest quite a bit Mamoru" Ami added
"That doesn't mean anything" the raven haired teen hissed
"Whatever, I'm just happy you finally came out" Makoto said with a shrug "dinners ready by the way" she walked over to Kenji and hugged him "welcome back pops"
"It's good to see you too little chef"
"Well dinners not gonna eat its self!" Makoto yelled as everyone fallowed
Dinner was silent, every now and then Walker or Kenji would ask a question or two, but luckily everyone survived. After dinner was over Usagi and Seiya offered to walk Ken home along side Mamoru, like a double 'date'. After the couples were far enough away Mamoru stopped.
Mamoru stood in front of Usagi and seiya as he let go of Ken's hands "I want to make sure you both understand something, I did this for the both of you, Usagi you're the most important person in my life, All I want is for you to be happy and if that means pretending to be gay then…I'll do it…for you." He turned to seiya "its true in the beginning I hated you, I honestly wanted to take you into the bathroom and drown you in the bath tub…I even thought of killing you in your sleep" Seiya and Ken looked quite disturbed "but…after one: finding out you were gay and
two: that you mean a lot to Usako, I wanted to do whatever it took to keep her smiling…and honestly Seiya, you're a pretty great guy and I'm happy were friends….even if I feel like I need to shot something to prove my masculinity."
Usagi laughed again shaking her head "thank you" she said kissing him on the cheek "by the way, you didn't need to go as far as you did with Ken" she said with a laugh "all you had to do is say he was a friend from school" Usagi watched as Mamoru glared at her
"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING SOONER?!" he yelled
Usagi shrugged "your way was WAY more entertaining" she said with a laugh
"I panicked!" Mamoru yelled "You owe me" he said glaring at her "not only must I pretend to…." He shook his head and groaned "but I also have to be in a musical….god help me" he said tired "but don't worry I'll get the football team and coach to play long"
Usagi smiled and nodded as the four walked hand in hand with their significant other: Ken and Seiya and Mamoru and Usagi.
"So…how far will this go?" Ken finally asked looked at both seiya and Usagi
"What do you mean?" Usagi asked as seiya looked confused
"I mean, while your parents are here, how far will this whole thing go?" he said waving his hands in the air
They were still confused "I think what ken is trying to ask is, how far do we have to take these "relationships'?" Mamoru asked as Ken nodded
"Well to dad and Coronal walker, Seiya and I have been a couple for, 5 year now?" she asked as seiya nodded "we're going to keep it up until they leave" she said with a shrug
"5 YEARS?" Ken and Mamoru yelled in shock
"Oh my goodness, I believe this is WAY too much drama for this drama Queen" Ken said rubbing his temples, as seiya looked to the ground.
"look we'll understand if you guys wish to back out of this, I mean it's a lot to ask…especially to you Ken since we just met you this afternoon…but we can't just come out to our parents, not when their still fighting a war…We will tell them as soon as they return home for good, safe and sound…just please try to understand…"
"Bun's right…Ken I really like you, you're the first guy I've meet that I just click with…but I won't ask you to continue to lie…or being in whatever it is that's happening between us.
Mamoru-san thank you so much, you have gone beyond what any friend has ever done for me, well besides bun's" he said with a laugh "but our lives are the military, there's no if ands or buts about it…until we turn 18 we're stuck…so like she said, if you wish to back out so be it, we'll totally understand but at the same time you two need to understand that we can't come out to our parents…their lives are more important to us then our own sanity."
"Awe" Usagi said hugging seiya "if I was to lose my sanity with anyone it would be with you dearest" she said laughing
"Shut up" he laughed as he playfully hit her shoulder "anyway we better get back before our fathers send a brigade after us"
As Usagi and Seiya began to walk away Mamoru and Ken pulled their arms back "wait" Ken said softly "I get why you can't tell your parents the truth, and I respect that…I am willing to play along with this, that is if you are Mamoru?" Ken asked
Taking a deep breath Mamoru sighed "Only when the parents are around and NEVER at school!" he warned "I don't mind getting the football team to help out with this weekend's game, but seriously nothing more"
"oh no" Usagi said waving her hands out "at school we can be who we want to be…well kinda Seiya and I still have to keep things the way they are, just because our fathers WILL go to the school to check things out…but I promise you two won't have to pretend to be a couple, only around our parents"
Mamoru and Ken nodded as the group shook on it "now let's go home"
NEXT DAY
The morning started off with Mamoru waiting outside for Usagi and Seiya as he and Minako sat patiently by her car. When they finally made their appearance Mamoru frowned as he watched Usagi and Seiya shared a kiss. He watched as her father smiled and Seiya's father patted his sons back, this was definitely going to be the longest three days of his life.
Looking to her raven haired friend Minako whispered "You know Mamoru, you two techniquely aren't together"
Mamoru looked to Minako as if she has lost her mind "Yes we are Minako" he said sternly
"No, you're not" she said smiling "did you ever ask her?" she inquired
"No, but-"
"Well then you're not together" she said with a shrug
"Minako I don't just go around making out with random poep-" he glared at Minako as she started to laugh "shut up" he frowned "I panicked" he whispered looking to his feet.
"Awe, I know you did" she said in a baby voice as she rubbed his back "I mean there was nothing else you could have done…besides just saying he was a friend" mamoru rolled his eyes "kissing another man was just the first thing to pop into your mind…that's not gay at all" Mamoru smacked her hand away and frowned as she laughed
"What's so funny?" Usagi asked as she walked over kissing mamoru on the cheek and hugging her cousin
"Oh nothing just teasing Mamoru about his play boy ways"
"Oh, cool can we go now…" Usagi said looking back to the two smiling fathers
"Before they call a minister" Seiya add
