THIS IS THE RE- INSTALLEMENT OF COSMIC LOVE, WITH SOME CHANGES AND SOMETHING NEW ADDED.
Hope you are going to enjoy it.
After watching Sailor Moon Cosmos, and Sailor Moon Crystal is finally ended, I have felt the need to write a final story.
On my tumblr page (check my profile) you can see my drawings for this story!
VIVID DREAMS
The sun caressed his face as he lay on the soft grass, enjoying the warm and peaceful day with his Guardians.
He loved his faithful Shitennou, and they loved him. A brotherly love, because they were growing like brothers, side by side, since their childhood.
Since he was a little child, the little Prince of Elysion and the future King of the Golden Kingdom, the Shitennou were by his side. When he was a child, he thought of them like sort of brothers, like friends, even if his father told him those children were going to become his Guardians: those apparently normal guys were destined to become powerful Knights, the Four Heavenly Kings of Elysion. Kunzite, Zoisite, Nephrite and Jadeite: four children sent from the remote lands of the Reign in order to become his Guardians.
"You look happy, Master, and I wonder if Princess Serenity is the reasons of your happiness."
Endymion glanced at Kunzite. The Leader of the Shitennou was standing against a tree, his muscular arms crossed on his wide chest, and an amused smirk on his face; the silver haired Knight had a special gift for teasing him, despite he looked serious and frightful (especially if angry) to people. Endymion wondered if Kunzite was showing this side of him to Venus, a perfect match with the breezy Senshi of Love.
He sat up and smiled, "And what about you and Sailor Venus?"
Kunzite sniggered, "Venus is too busy to keep an eye on her weird Princess!"
Endymion blushed furiously, "Kunzite! Serenity isn't … weird!"
"Enough weird to sneak out the Moon and come here just to see our Planet even if it is forbidden! Weird and … somehow irresponsible!"
His cheeks still on fire, Endymion turned his head to Zoisite, "Zoisite! Don't talk this way about Princess Serenity!"
The youngest Knight was sitting on a big stone, his right leg crossed on his left one and gently swinging, while his right forefinger rolled a lock of his long, curly and light brown hair with elegance and nonchalance. There was no reproach on Zoisite's face, anyway, but an amused smile with a pitch of cunning, "That Princess is really lucky to have Mercury by her side; Mercury is so clever to balance out Princess Serenity's total naivety." It wasn't surprising that an analytical and smart mind as Zoisite's one was attracted to Mercury, and vice versa.
"Mercury… Mercury… Mercury…" Nephrite grumbled, "Every chance is good for you to talk of Sailor Mercury and let us know how much she is clever and smart!" His grumble turned into a thundering laugh at Zoisite's embarrassed frowning.
Zoisite crossed his arms on his chest, "Yes. I spend a lot of time with Mercury. Talking! Better than you and Jupiter, always clinging to each other. Your tongues are too busy for talking."
Nephrite's laugh changed into a chocked cough.
Endymion stared at the brown haired Knight, smirking, "True. You and Sailor Jupiter are too passionate, Nephrite. You should control yourself." Nephrite was perfect instinct and physical strength - a powerful thunder, Jupiter's element – but he had a big heart even if sometimes he acted totally reckless
Sitting with his back against the tree, his legs crossed, Nephrite shrugged, "Don't worry. We aren't going to provoke a scandal at the Court. We know how and where to hide. And, anyway, it's you and Princess Serenity who must be really carefully"
Nephrite stood up and moved to Jadeite, placing his boot on the blond guy chest, "Hey, you! What about Sailor Mars, instead? That raven haired witch!"
Lying on the grass by Endymion's side, Jadeite tried to move but Nephrite's boot kept him stuck on the ground, "She isn't a witch!" Finally released from Nephrite's weight, he sat up and had a deep breath.
Towering on him, Nephrite looked down at Jadeite, his hands on his hips.
Jadeite kept on talking, a gentle red tingeing his cheeks, "I don't meet very often Mars, and we barely talk. Sometimes I wonder if I get on her nerves."
Kunzite sniggered, "I think she is very interested in you, instead. Also Venus thinks so."
The gentle red on Jadeite's cheeks changed into furious blushing, and his eyes sparkled with hope, "Do you think so? And Venus too?"
Nephrite had a sweet smile and gently patted Jadeite's head, ruffling his short and curly hair.
Endymion patted Jadeite's shoulder, smiling, "You are too quiet, Jadeite!" True. Jadeite was sometimes too quiet and somehow lacked self-confidence, lost in his thoughts, but he had a special gift for feelings things (was it the reason why the fierce Mars was attracted to him? Did the Senshi of War realize Jadeite psychic powers?).
Lying back again on the grass, his arms crossed behind his head, Endymion closed his eyes and enjoyed the wind tickling his nose and the sun warming his face.
Mamoru slowly opened his eyes, staring at the ceiling of his bedroom.
He sat up, staring at the wide window in front of his bed, "What a vivid dream. Again." He pulled the blankets down and stood up, walking to the window.
"Kunzite. Jadeite. Nephrite. Zoisite." A shadow of sadness crossed Mamoru's face as he stared at the sunny day outside the window, the Tokyo Tower bathed with sun and towering on the buildings around. He sighed and turned around; his blue eyes lingered on the drawer that had contained the four fragments of gemstones he had cherished since the day Queen Metallia was defeated, the gemstones that saved his life and were broken while protecting him.
His tapering fingers gently touched the drawer while his look turned more and more thoughtful, "Where are you now, my Shitennou?"
The Shitennou's gemstones were in his pocket, that day, at the airport, when Galaxia stole his star-seed, killing him; were the Shitennou's gemstones taken with him in the Galaxy Cauldron, and were still there?
After coming back from the Cauldron, he couldn't talk any more with his Shitennou but he kept dreaming of them, again and again: strange and vivid dreams of the Shitennou during the Silver Millennium (like the actual dream), but also vivid dreams of them in the future Crystal Tokyo (sitting around a big table in a big room, talking with him, King Endymion), and vivid dreams of them in the present time (knocking at his door and entering his home, explaining him they were revived in the Cauldron).
Actually, there was no enemy to face, no advice to ask, but he just wanted to talk to them. He wanted to talk to them about the Cauldron, about University, about everything. But he couldn't, the stones were gone, and he couldn't accept it. Probably, this grief was the reason why he kept dreaming of them.
He sighed, " Kunzite, I miss your strength, wisdom, and also your sarcasm and sharp tongue. Jadeite, I miss your kind smile and soft voice, and your way to listen to people. Nephrite, I miss your deep and thundering voice, always spurring me. And your bossy attitude, yes, I miss that too. Zoisite, I miss your sharp intelligence and clear voice."
"I miss you, guys. Where are you? Have I really lost you, definitively?"
He sank into the armchair and placed his right hand on his teary eyes.
Mars caressed Jadeite's soft and curly hair as he slept, his head on her chest.
Her hand slid along his spine, enjoying the touch of his naked skin.
He had a soft moan and rolled on his back, keeping on sleeping.
She smirked and bent down, kissing his chest.
When he opened his eyes, he mirrored her smirk and hugged her.
His fingers knew every inch of her body; his lips explored her smooth skin from her belly up to her chest (and nipples), and finally reached her lips.
They kissed.
From the window of the room, Mars glanced at the crystal palaces of the city sparkling in the sunrise.
Rei woke up as the sunrise lightened her room at the Shrine.
She sat up and pressed her hands on her chest, trying to slow down her heartbeat.
Her cheeks were on fire. All her skin was on fire, his touch still on her.
She remembered everything of her dream.
Everything: his hands sliding on her body, his lips exploring her skin, his naked body.
Such a vivid dream.
His totally naked body on her totally naked body: she gasped and shook her head, her cheeks tingeing deep red.
She walked to the window and stared at Tokyo's buildings sparkling in the sunrise.
She remembered everything of her dream, also that window and that city. A crystal and futuristic city, and she perfectly knew what it meant: she dreamed of the future Crystal Tokyo, and Jadeite was there.
Why was she having vivid dreams of Jadeite (him during the Silver Millennium, and now him in the future Crystal Tokyo) after she was back from the Cauldron?
