Mamoru groaned as he re read his textbook for the 3rd time. He was so absorbed in his thoughts of Usagi that he couldn't concentrate at all, to the point where doodles of unknown markings were all over the book. Yesterday's battle had taken its toll on Usagi's body and she had almost disappeared right in front of his eyes after using the crystal.

A pair of soft hands covered his eyes and Mamoru could feel his resolve to study slipping further away. It was taking all his resolve not to grab her and lock her in his apartment for the rest of her life, just so he could ensure that she would never be taken away from him again.

"Boo." Usagi's cheeky smile was all he saw as he leaned back onto the couch. Her fingers found her way through his smooth hair and started massaging his head. "Can't concentrate?" She asked, her two pony tails falling over his arms. Her eyes sparkled brilliantly, so bright as though she would disappear again and his heart wrenched at the thought.

Mamoru couldn't take it anymore. He flipped over in an instant, gathering her in a crushing hug, not saying a word.

"Mamo-chan! I - can't - bre-ath-e!" Usagi choked out, gasping for air. Mamoru didn't loosen his grip at all, holding her tightly.

A little shudder ran through the body that was holding her and she stilled herself. "Mamo-chan, are you crying?"

Still no answer. She could feel a little wetness on her neck where his head was buried. Usagi's hands reached out and stroked his head and back to sooth her tense lover.

"I'm here. I'm still here." She hugged him a little tighter this time.

"I'll always be here. For you."
