Venus stole through his balcony doorway, face hidden beneath the shadows of a hooded cloak. He looked up at her briefly, gray eyes daunting against the fair glow of his writing candle.

"What are you doing here?"

She rolled her eyes, ignoring his unpleasant mood. Dipping her head back, she let the hood fall off, and when she looked back at him, she smiled. "I was bored. The moon can be so dull sometimes." Her bare feet pattered against the wooden floors.

Kunzite placed his quill down, rolled up his parchment, and then angled his body toward her. "I have patrol duty tonight."

She shrugged. The shoulder of her cloak slipped off. "You can be a little late." His eyes flashed, quickly, to that patch of bare skin.

"Venus," he warned, standing. "If Endymion finds that I'm disrespecting my orders, he'll-."

Her lips curved into a delighted smile. "He won't find out. I know that, you know that." She perched herself on the arm of his couch, pulled her braid over her bare shoulder. "I bet he's a bit preoccupied, anyway."

She bit her lip, watching as he stalked over to his coat rack. Stood. Smiled.

Kunzite turned back and nearly choked on his tongue.

Venus stepped out of the furrowed piece of cloth at her feet. "Will you help me untie my hair? It's a bit tricky to do single-handed."
