Chapter 11

The Morning After

John awoke feeling surprisingly robust, considering how much alcohol he had consumed the previous night. He loved it here, he loved the town, the people, but mostly he loved being with Minako and her friends. John had always been a bit of a loner traveling around the world since his parents died when he was 15, but he had managed to suck it up and get his degree. But he had never felt he had any real friends, family or a home. At 21 he met Minako, working for her as her travel agent, and from then on they were inseparable like little kids who often needed a good scolding. That was when he first felt like he belonged, like he had a family, but now while staying with her and her friends the feelings were crazy. John felt like this was it the place he was supposed to be. He was so comfortable with everyone of her friends he truly felt like they were all connected somehow, he saw Haruka, Michiru, Ami, Makoto, Rei and Minako as sisters. Hotaru and Chibiusa like they were his little siblings, He felt Mamoru was a brother and Usagi well he felt like she was his sister too but more like he needed to watch out for her protect her. Which was strange since he didn't feel that way towards any of the others with them he felt they could handle themselves. 'I've only been here a day and I already feel connected with the whole group like I've known them before." John thought as he rolled over in bed getting up and dressing. When he reached the kitchen for a cup of coffee he noticed Youchiro sitting at the table.

"Hey, mind if I get some of that" he asked pointing at the coffee.

"Not at all help yourself" Youchiro asked still looking at his paper.

"Seen the girls yet this morning?" John asked.

"Nope, lazy bums are still sleeping" was Youchiro's reply.

"Hu guess I'll go wake them after I'm done with this." John said indicating his cup of coffee.

"I better come with, Rei can be very cranky in the morning, but I can handle her if she is, I've been doing it for years."

"oh have you and Rei been together that long" John asked thinking about Mina's feelings for Rei.

"Together, no we have never been together, her grandpa took me in as a student when she was still in middle school, I've live here ever since. Rei and me are close but its more of a sibling relationship we just don't have those kinds of feelings for each other"

"yeah that's how things are with Minako and myself she's like my little sister." John said.

"Oh really, Rei thought you guys were together." Youchiro said.

"Nope, Mina just knows I have no family so she invited me to come out here since I was on vacation and had no one to visit, well except for her of course"

"That's nice of her" Yuchiro commented.

"Yeah she my best friend" John said while drifting off into thought.

Rei woke up with the feelings she had the night before. She felt happy and loved. When she opened her eyes she remembered why. Her and Mina were facing each other foreheads touching, legs tangled together, one hand over each others waist the other softly holding each others hand. The dark haired girl smiled breathing in Minako's scent.

"I love you so much" she whispered while looking at the golden haired girl's face. Just then Minako moved in her sleep attempting to get closer to her dark haired lover.

"Rei" she whispered on a sigh as she moved. Rei ended up with Mina's head tucked under her chin laying on her shoulder. Mina holding Rei around the waist tight. Rei held her back.

"yeah baby" Rei whispered back not sure if she would even get a response since Mina was still sleeping. After a while Rei figured she wouldn't get said response and leaned down gently placing a kiss on Minako's head.

"please don't leave me" Rei heard Mina whisper.

"I will always be here for you Mina" Rei whispered back to the still sleeping girl. She then snuggled closer to her golden haired lover and fell back asleep.

John had just finished his cup of coffee when Youchiro stood up and placed his in the sink. John did the same.

"Ready to see if the girls have a crazy ass hang over" John asked grinning.

"Yeah" Yuchiro said with a smile.

"If they are grumpy I get my sis and you get yours I don't even know how to begin handling a hung over Rei but Mina I have down pat." He said while they walked down the hall towards Rei's room. When they reached it Youchiro knocked on the door lightly when he got no answer he opened it wide. And immediately wished he hadn't.

"Holy Shit" He said while trying to grab the door handle again. Unfortunately so did John and they ended up running into each other hard and falling to the ground. Making a lot of noise and waking the sleeping and quite naked girls.

"Fuck"

"Dammit" they said when they hit the ground.

"What the Hell Youchiro" came from Rei who was quickly grabbing the sheets covering herself. Mina did the same but she also hid behind Rei with her hands on her shoulders and leaning her head between her shoulder blades in embarrassment.

"Uhm sorry, we were uh coming to wake you up and uhm tried to shut the door before we saw anything and ran into each other. I didn't see anything I swear." John said while looking away and trying to get up at the same time.

"Me either" Youchiro said getting up with his eyes closed. While John was looking anywhere but at the girls he noticed all the scattered clothes and began to laugh. Rei glared not finding it funny at all.

"I see you finally seduced the girl of your dreams hu Minako." John said laughing even harder.

"Shut up John" Mina said into Rei's back uneffectively trying not to laugh.

"Well its about time" he said grinning.

"I agree" Youchiro said also trying not to laugh. Rei glared at him.

"What you have been crazy about her forever, I'd say its about time" Youchiro said now laughing outright.

"Get out both of you, now!" Rei said a little annoyed but mostly because she really wanted to laugh now but didn't want to let her guard down in front of them. The boys quickly turned to leave when Rei grabbed a pillow throwing it across the room at them. When the door was finally shut Minako came out from behind Rei. Rei laid back down giggling like a school girl. Mina continued laughing. She had never seen Rei like this so happy and carefree all her miko walls and control totally gone, Mina hoped that she might be the cause of this new happy Rei.

"So I'm the girl of your dreams" Rei asked between giggles.

"No" Mina said looking serious "Your way better then her, not even the Rei in my dreams can compare to you" Mina continued "I love you Rei, I thought I should say it again this time not under the influence of alcohol" Rei leaned up and deeply kissed the blond. When the kiss ended Rei said with her lips still against Minako's.

"Mina I love you so much" Minako kissed her again slowly pushing Rei back against the bed. Things were just heating up when a loud banging noise came from the door.

"Hey, you sex bots better stop fooling around and get up you have your reunion to go to today wouldn't want to be late" John yelled through the door with a laughing voice.

A/N I thought a funny intrusion for their morning after would be a good idea. John and Youchiro crack me up, well I wrote them so I guess that makes sense.
