AN: All right, so, here's another drabble. :D Sorry for my lack of updates. School has a way of evaporating your life. e.e On more important matters, this drabble will be the last. For now. I have a little disease called writer's block, thanks to the story that I have neglected to write. It won the war in my brain and is forcing me to write it out before it destroys everything in sight. o.o I'm not joking. Don't worry, I will come back and finish this collection, no matter what.

Disclaimer: I think you get the picture. I don't own Sailor Moon. ;-;

Theme: # 30

Warning: Due to writer's block, this drabble may be poorly written. Please forgive me. D:


I'll Always Be There for You

"Odango, where are you?" Seiya shouted, his voice echoing against the walls. The light in the house flickered for a moment before returning to the darkness that had brought the male here. His eyes wandered around the living room of Usagi's home. The house wasn't too big; he should've been able to find her easily. But, it was in fact the opposite. He could not find the blond anywhere. He'd already checked every room in the house. He fell onto the nearby couch, sighing and resting his head on his hand. He knew the girl hated thunderstorms and the one that was now occurring was a violent one. It had created a power outage throughout the town.

The male sighed once more, sighing again, "Odango. Please. Where are you?" It bothered him that he couldn't be there for her. A thought, suddenly, ran through his mind. Maybe she had gone out with the girls. Or maybe she heard about the thunderstorm and went to one of their houses. Seiya winced, frowning at that thought. They'd made a promise and he was going to keep it, no matter what. The raven haired idol stood from his resting place and headed upstairs to check the rooms once more.

"Odango?" He called out repeatedly as he searched every inch of the house. He'd saved her room for last this time around, planning on spending a great amount of time searching it, even if it wasn't big enough. Outside, there was a flash of light that was quickly followed with rumbles. He froze as an audible whimper echoed throughout the house. He could tell that it was nowhere near her room, so he headed out into the hallway, waiting for another noise. The thunders continued, one after the other, causing the house to rattle slightly. Seiya followed the soft whimpering as they grew into soft sobs.

He stopped in front of a kitchen cabinet. The very cabinet that he and Usagi had hidden in when he was to be her bodyguard for the night. He smiled softly and kneeled in front of the doors, "Odango?" There was silence, but it was interrupted with another rumble of thunders. The soft sobs grew slightly louder. Seiya slid the door open; he frowned at the sight. Usagi's eyes were shut tightly, her hands over her ears and her knees brought up to her chest. She was trembling violently and her cheeks were drenched with her tears. "Odango?" Seiya gently grabbed a hold of her arm. Usagi's eyes snapped open as she jumped, hitting her head on the top of the cabinet. She tried to move away from the touch, but froze at her actions when she saw that it was only Seiya. Her eyes widened, briefly. She lowered her hands and lunged at him, wrapping her arms around his waist. He flew backwards, his back hitting the counter. Usagi nuzzled her face into his chest, trembling with fear. The male wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer to him. He kissed her head, "Shh. It's all right, Odango. I'm here. I'll always be here."

Usagi's sobs turned into soft whimpers as Seiya hummed one of his songs to her, soothing her gently. His warmth engulfed her, increasing the speed of her calming. Her trembling and whimpering had stopped. She knew she didn't need to be afraid anymore. She was safe with Seiya around. They remained that way in comfortable silence until the storm had slowed. Seiya lifted Usagi up bridal style and moved to the couch to make her more comfortable.

"Seiya," Usagi whispered softly.

The male nuzzled his face into her hair, "Hm?"

"Thank you."

Seiya smiled and tightened his grip on her, "I told you I'll always be there for you." He felt the blond nod against his chest. He ran his finger through her hair and began to hum to her again. Another thought ran through his head, "Hey, Odango?"

Usagi had grown weary from her tears earlier and Seiya hums hadn't made that any better. She sleepily mumbled her response, "Yes?"

"Why did you hide in the cabinet?"

The corners of Usagi's lips weakly tugged up into a smile, "Because it had your warmth." She slipped into a peaceful sleep, clutching onto Seiya's shirt tightly.
