"You can't just assume that, Motoki." Mamoru took another swig of his beer at the bar counter as he chatted with him. Motoki was working temporarily at a bar recently as he wanted to earn a little more cash for the coming Valentine's Day. "How can SHE of all people be attractive? She's just a kid to me!"

"Are you hearing yourself or are you drunk already? Didn't you see the boys that hang out at the Arcade just to gawk at her?" Motoki wiped another shot glass as he spoke. "Just be honest with her! You're the one reacting like a kid around her, and I've never seen you act that way in front of any other girl." Motoki's accusing words hit home and Mamoru felt his self defence barriers rising.

"She's not any other girl. She's Odango. The brat kid that will never grow-." Motoki was gesturing wildly at him that he couldn't help but snap at him. "What? Is there someone behind me?" Motoki could only nod his head furiously as his mouth didn't seem to be able to work.

Mamoru turned, eyes meeting a beautiful blue as he took in her appearance. The brat kid- no His Odango had piled her hair artfully with chopsticks and left a few tendrils framing her face. A bare minimum of make-up, he noticed, as well as a Chinese looking dress to accentuate her small figure and a slit from the hips to show her long legs. God help me. She was wearing high strappy heels that only served to make her legs look delicious. He swallowed hard, cheeks flushing immediately and said the first sentence that came to his mind.

"I must be drunk."

"Really?" She flashed him a knowing smile and sauntered away, taking a seat away from him. Within minutes, she was getting hit on by a few guys at once. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed one of the guys near her had started touching her arms suggestively. Anger flared and in a flash, he was grabbing her hand and storming out of the pub to the dark alley.

"It hurts! Let go!" She hissed at him, eyes narrowing at him.

"No. I'm not letting go." He backed her up the wall of the alley and crushed his lips to hers punishingly.

"Am I still a kid to you?" A sultry smile crossed her face as she hooked her leg around his.

"Yesss." Mamoru let out a guttural groan as she pressed her body against him. Usagi coiled her arms around his neck as she whispered against his ear.

"Liar."
