kera69love: basically yes…and yes your right he can sometimes be the not so brightest boyfriend. The whole arc part where future Endymion tests him was kinda ridiculous. Like how is breaking them up testing them? But that's just me.
lailane: thank you so much. 😊
2 reviews, nice, were about halfway through here maybe further along, glad you all are enjoying this, please let me know in the comments section! Enjoy!
The devil within 2 ch.11
Usagi POV
I can't believe it's time already. Rei has been reminding us off and on for a week and I've been so busy fending off the weirdo sib's who won't stop their antics that I had forgotten about the festival and the performance she's doing in it. Of course, the monster attacks did NOT help either. Not when they attacked the pre-school and disappeared for a little bit. We got extra vigilant after that episode.
Nor when they attacked at other locations and made everyone's lives, mainly the innocent lives, a living hell for those moments, and they are living in hell for those moments between wondering if they will live or die. It's why we are there. To prevent that from happening. However those events do make us forget about civilian things we need to attend. Like Rei's school event that I definitely ALMOST forgot about.
Whenever those attacks happen, our civilian lives do get pushed to the side but those were also necessary. In these cases though, it seems like a one and done till energy is needed again for whatever purpose it is. I'm getting a headache just thinking about it. Once we arrive at the festival it's late. We now join everyone else that's arrived. With all the girls, and the guys, Mamoru included, we head off to go see the performances.
At one point I notice Ann and Ali, but I avoid them from seeing me. I purposely duck and cover to avoid the odd siblings. I don't want nor need any of their drama. Not today, not when we're here for Rei. We make our way to the concert hall without issue. The festival is like the others we've been to thus far, really just a fund-raiser for whatever the school is trying to raise money for. They do it several times throughout the year to the point that even I, the girl who doesn't pay much attention to them, wonder why they do them so often.
However, this is the part that we really came here for. To see Rei perform. She's been working really hard on this song she wrote and we're here to support her. As it may come as a surprise to her, I think she's got a pretty good voice. She just has a problem with focusing sometimes on getting the correct words that she wants to use out. Like she knows the emotions she wants to present and emit but can't put the right words together.
It's like a double-edged sword to feel what you need but being unable to put into words right then and there and wanting to get it out so that you can perform and sing to your heart's content. For Rei she sometimes is too hard on herself for performance. While she's somewhat of a perfectionist it's due to her need for things to go right. She always comes through in the end but sometimes it makes her hard on herself.
So as we take our seats, seeing such a large vast of people in one area were already on guard to a degree. I realize I'm already clocking the entry and exit points as the other girls are and the guys are acting more like protective bodyguards than boyfriends right now. I see the expression on Minako's face and give her a pointed look as we both realize we're doing the same thing…both of us are thinking as Senshi…not just as friends as we enter this place and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
"Even when we're not on Senshi duty it feels like we are," she notes.
"I was just thinking the same thing," I mutter more to myself than anything as I eyeball another entry point as we sit down not wanting to draw attention to ourselves. We're here for Rei as friends and yet we're still thinking like Senshi and I wonder now if that will ever change. Will there ever be a time when we're NOT in Senshi mode and looking over our shoulders?
I notice Mamoru doing similar so I take his arm in mine as he takes his own seat and joke in a light yet factual way just so I can try to ease the tension I was beginning to feel from this, "Careful your inner guardian is showing."
He looks down to me in surprise and shock and I realize that perhaps this isn't a good time to joke.
I sigh and force a smile on my face, "Relax I just mean that you're doing what we're all doing…scanning for threats."
I look around and see how many people are here. The bad thing is this place would be near perfect to attack. A LOT of people means a LOT of energy to be consumed. While I don't see anyone that looks like our new enemies that doesn't mean that they're not in the shadows like our old enemies hide…the same ones that are here now and are trying to blend in. I look over to spot them doing as we are trying to do as they take their seats…blend in…appear normal to others.
"Though in hindsight perhaps that's a good thing."
The more I look around the more I see how this place is a near excellent place to carry out an attack especially if people are panicked or try to rush out. The exits will get crowded quickly. If things were to happen and people get freaked, people could even get trampled on. The very thought of any innocent going through that is a touch horrifying.
"Shit…," I mutter to myself, seeing those possibilities, but also noticing that there are only about four to five compared to a more open space in the front. Near where the 'orchestra' would play if it was that type of event. There is no one in there now but it doesn't mean if chaos were to erupt people wouldn't get injured falling into it.
"Seeing the possible crap fest that could happen if there's an attack?" Malachite asks me.
I glance to Mamoru's right as Malachite leans over, making sure to keep his voice low to avoid anyone else from hearing him. He gives me his rueful yet honest opinion. I lean forward myself to avoid speaking too loudly, "Unfortunately."
While I don't think anyone is paying us much mind considering the show that they're getting excited to watch you never know, especially when you're in the field that we're in.
"We just have to be vigilant yet still make sure to pay attention to Rei, so she knows we're here to support her," I remind him. He nods knowing were here for a reason and that until something Senshi related pops up, our primary will be Rei but that IF, IF something Senshi related pops up its all hands on deck no matter what and Rei would be the first one to charge…if there was no one around to see her transform.
As the show begins to commence, Rei gets up on the stage and begins to get into her speech. I can see how passionate she is about this show and it makes the rest of us become more engaged in what's going on. I can see her red outfit and the way that she carries herself. She's happy to be able to perform something that is a passion for her. I'd be a nervous wreck up there on stage trying to sing.
Especially when I'd be nervous about pitch, tone, volume, the volume of the microphone, and start to see all the faces of the people out there. Expecting entertainment while I'm trying to figure out what they're thinking. If they like it. If it's connecting with them, resonating with them as if they can feel the lyrics as if I was speaking the truth from their heart and mind as well or if they're silently waiting for the song to be done. If they're eyeballing the exit doors. If they are angling to pay more attention to their phone.
Rei can get through such a performance and keep her head leveled. I can't. Even just thinking that makes me feel distracted and anxious. I almost want to laugh as I recall when there was a time when I tried to make a musical video with Naru. I had zero coordination and didn't want to admit to it. Thankfully it didn't hinder our friendship BUT had I been put to the test if they liked the video that never came to be…I think I would have frozen.
It's not till I feel eyes on me that I look around and spot Ali spotting me. I'm seriously tempted to duck again but it's futile as he seems to have spotted Mamoru next to me. I see his frame shift, seeing that he's NOT happy to see me out with my boyfriend. I don't know what else I can do to get it through to him so avoiding it is all I can do right now. I turn my attention back to the stage and see Rei enjoying the spotlight.
I can only see her and Minako being this comfortable with the spotlight. Hell I'm getting nervous for her all on my own. Like a precursor to second hand embarrassment and she's done NOTHING to feel that way about. Yet she's crushing being up on the stage. I'm happy for her and can see how she's lit up and grateful that things are going well. However I can still feel the eyes on me.
I glance over against my better judgment and see Ali is getting closer to us. I'm wondering if he's going to cause a scene here and hope he truly doesn't. That's when I feel Mamoru tense up beside me and notice that he's spotted Ali. When Rei announces a break for those in the audience Ali takes his chance. He comes up to us and bypasses many people in the isles and makes a beeline to me.
"Hello Usagi…," he barely pays anyone else any attention as he smiles. "I was wondering if you'd like to join me where I'm sitting."
The rest of the girls are looking away from him as if to feel his embarrassment and want to explain it to him that I'm not interested even though he's been told this. The guys are looking annoyed by this.
"Dude just let it go," Jadeite tries to tell him as Ali gives a curbed and tight 'thanks' smile before ignoring him.
"Usagi…," he tries again, only this time Mamoru gets up and gets into Ali's face. For barely a second I see Ali look mildly shocked and trepidatiously gulps just a bit before he sharpens his gaze and focus. "I'm not interested in - " but Mamoru cuts him off, "Shut up. Now I'm going to say this once so listen very carefully. Usagi is MY girlfriend. We have a life planned out together."
I can't help but smile at his words. Knowing it and hearing it are two different things and Mamoru being vocal about us always makes me smile.
"Leave her alone, she's with ME. She's not interested in you. I don't know if you're ignorant to the fact that when a girl says no she means NO or if you're just obtuse or worse yet if you are aware but just don't care and are actively trying to take my girlfriend from me."
In those last words I can see the shift in Ali's body. Mamoru must have seen it as he got even closer to him.
"Mamoru!" I warn him not wanting a scene to be caused.
"Back off Ali," Mamoru warns. Just as he is ready to step away Ali responds with, "Why don't you walk away while Usagi and I have some fun."
Oh boy. I think to myself as Mamoru turns back around. "Usagi is my girlfriend, the last thing I'd do is let any guy let alone some random ass guy from her school put the moves on her while she's with me."
He gets closer as Ali stands his ground. "So save yourself the embarrassment and trouble of getting your ass kicked and leave her, leave US alone."
When Ali grabs at Mamoru's arm it puts everyone on edge but Mamoru knowing how to handle himself bends Ali's arm back towards him. I've seen the move being used before, it's painful when placed on someone yet Ali is barely wincing at the pressure. It's right then and there as if something has been silently communicated between them.
It's not good either. I see Ali bend his head to see me a bit more, and with some effort breaks the hold Mamoru has on him and goes to try to take my hand in his, pulling me forward. People are starting to take notice and I'm now getting uncomfortable.
"Ali please," I try to get him to stop as he's unrelenting. Right as I wrench my hand free from him and am about to snap at him again he says, "Usagi I have strong feelings for you."
I sigh and feel even more uncomfortable.
"I know we can be good together, why not get rid of that idiot and be with me?"
When he finishes his words and leans in for a kiss I push him away and he winds up back near Mamoru who pulls him quickly and forcefully away from me. I can feel the anger radiating off of Mamoru for this. He and Ali are going toe to toe on who the bigger alpha male is and Ali is not making any headway.
"Dude seriously let it go," Jadeite tries again. It's when Mamoru grabs Ali by the shirt and pushes him further from us, from me, and shoves him back that he snaps at him with such anger that I honestly believe that if Mamoru didn't have an iron clad control on his powers he would have used them to castrate Ali right now.
"What did I say about trying to be around her? HUH?!" Mamoru pushed him back further. "Stay the hell away from my girlfriend!"
I look around and see people looking on wondering if they should call security on us for the disturbance and wanting to enjoy a bit of entertainment till the next part of the show pops up. I was torn now by wanting to prevent Mamoru from getting into deep trouble with security even if what was going on was totally called for as Ali was getting aggressive and physically now persistent in his intent.
On the other hand, I know it was a bad time to feel this way but seeing Mamoru get like this over me was a turn on. His anger and protective nature made me want to lick my lips and pull him off into a corner for a round. Bad timing Usagi bad, BAD timing. Mamoru's chest was all puffed up as he was making it clear to Ali that he needed to leave and do it now, yet Ali wasn't backing down so easily.
It was as if Ali was assessing things and not seeing Mamoru as the true threat that he was. Like he felt that he could 'beat' Mamoru.
"Stupid teenage hormones," Ami mutters, I glance at her. I know she senses my glance so she explains, "Teenage boys and girls alike find themselves a touch invincible. Hence Ali possibly sees Mamoru as a contender but not as a true threat."
I bite my lip in contemplation. I go to the guys and pull Mamoru back, "Mamoru don't."
He looks at me then sees my eyes looking at our surroundings. He sees the small crowd gathering around as they are preparing to take out their phones in case something exciting goes down.
"We don't need the public to get involved in a personal matter," I speak low as I remind him. I see him debate for a moment before cooling down. That is till Ali speaks again.
"See, even she's telling you she wants to come with me."
I can't help but send a sharp glare to Ali, making sure to make eye contact so that he gets the point I'm making.
"No I'm not." I look back to Mamoru. "I'm protecting the both of you."
Mamoru looks over as Ali balks at the response I gave.
"Excuse me?" he asks and looks around. I'm not sure if he's looking for sympathy but no one comes to aid him. Even the guys nearest to him, while they are the 'cool types' from our school, take one look at Mamoru and glare he's got on him and decide its best not to eff around. They step back one pace. Ali frowns at this and looks back to us.
I take a step forward hoping to end this before it begins. "Ali leave now or else Mamoru will beat your ass down, and trust me when I say that's the Sunday school version of what he wants to do."
I turn back to Mamoru. I see the need to pummel this guy and frankly I'm about ready to let him do it too, but this isn't how we settle things. Diplomacy first. Ali is not youma nor is he a cardian, he's not an enemy. He's just an overly enthusiastic idiot who has a crush on me and won't relent for whatever reason he has. I stand half in front of Mamoru and place a hand on him to remind him yet again of where we are.
"You know I love you and am thankful for the defense enough though I can handle it, however, you need to back down before you get in trouble even if it was in my defense."
He concedes to my reasoning. Mamoru shoves him back and makes sure to release him.
"Get lost," Mamoru gives off one final warning. Ali backs up and leaves off but not before one last look in my direction.
"I'll see you at school."
He walks off even as I put a few fingers to the bridge of my nose and pinch. The headache is forming.
"It's like its right behind my eyes…the headache." That's how much I was honestly aggravated at this point. It's then I see some wheels turning behind Mamoru's eyes.
"What's wrong? He's gone now," I assure him.
"Yeah but not when you're at school," he mentions,
"I can handle him there. It's a controlled environment and limited access as we don't have a lot of classes together," I try to reason with him.
"I don't know…" I hear his words and ask him, "What exactly are you thinking?"
Still in the wheels turning stage and not fully focused he answers a tinge to factually.
"Contact your parents and have you removed from the school."
My eyes widen.
"Maybe even…"
I touch his face and close in on him so that my tone is hushed to everyone else, "Honey…Mamo -chan…while I'm touched that you want to be protective over me I can handle myself."
He looks down at me and I hold his gaze
"So with that in mind, whatever scheme your cooking up inside of your brain to work on ways to keep Ali away from me…re-think it," I make sure to say the 'rethink it' part with more firmness so that he understood just how important it was for me to stay at Juban and to stop fussing around. I still needed to graduate and I didn't need my parents asking me why I was transferring schools based on ONE student…okay TWO students but when I have the girls around I can deal.
He sighs. "I just want you safe," he admits.
"And I admire that, but this…," I indicate between us. "Needs to work as a unit, together, not based on what you want to do for us both."
It seemed something clicked in his head at that point as he tells me, "You're right. I'm sorry."
He goes to sit back down as I do as well, though something about that last part is throwing me off, it was like he was thinking of something but NOT what we were dealing with.
Evil Endymion POV
I have to keep myself calm right now. All I want to do is find this Ali guy in a dark alley and break him before gutting him for even attempting to push himself on Usagi. I grit my fists together, as the break comes to an end. It's then Usagi tells me, "It's okay, even IF Ali were to try something…or if someone else were to, the school administrator would stop it. Besides, did you happen to forget back there that I'm Sailor Moon?"
The laugh is enough to make me smile. "Nothing could ever make me forget that," I assure her, but now I see it. She's questioning things. I can see it in her eyes. In her words.
"You know Rei won't be back out for another 20-30 minutes…there are other acts in between her performance," I give her a smile that is all to telling.
"Were at a festival, where are we going to go for that sort of thing?" she asks me a bit scandalous.
I smile, "A gentleman reveals nothing…until we get there."
I get her to leave out with me and the closer we get to the destination the more sure and confident I am that I need to do this. I need to get her buttered up with sex before I tell her the truth so that she can heal everyone. Including me and face the fact of what might happen and hope that she understands just how much I love her, how much the generals love the Senshi.
People are happier after sex right? It's been my experience anyways. As I find a clown house, one that I recall has a room off to the side for bouncy fun, I slip us into it. Usagi tries to maintain her balance but is failing as badly as I am. She giggles and asks, "Won't someone come in here?"
I grin, "I used to work in this area for a few summers, this one in particular was a favorite spot for this particular act due to the lack of families that would come through here."
Usagi gives me a shocking yet devilish look in her eyes at this.
"The guys and sometimes the girls would pay us some yen to block off the room for a little bit so they could have some uninterrupted fun. We acted as their security and since the sounds are so loud around here no one can hear you calling out my name." I grin as she grins herself now, "You really did think of everything."
I nod as I start to pull at her clothes. She pulls at mine though we only get the basics off. We're not looking to fully get naked here. Though that would be nice, no, we're here to get a quickie in before the next showing. She takes her leggings off as I pull off one of her legs, at least her panties but soon those come off as she unzips me. It's just enough to get her hand inside to jerk me off a bit which is enough to throw me off. I grunt something but soon I can't do anything other than enjoy the sensation.
It's when I hear her say, "You want to be inside of me?" that I feel a strong pulse run through me.
"Fuck yeah," Is all I'm able to say as I push myself between her legs. Her head falls back as she takes in my rigid length. Just as it's our usual rhythm it's also just like me to get caught up in it as she's that damned good. I brace my arms to either side of her shoulders and pull her in as I push down and feel her legs wrapping themselves around me.
Damn…it always feels amazing to be inside of her. I can feel her nails digging into my back, leaving hot red streaks down the sides. Her head is thrown back relishing in what I give to her and all the while her tight hot heat is making me want to jam myself up into her till I can't even feel anymore. It takes all I have to NOT let myself go right now. Not yet anyways. I want this to last for more than just a few minutes.
However once she wraps her legs around my waist I can feel the pre-cum dripping into her already. I grunt and land a near punch into the bouncy material to gain some amount of control over myself and just get a jiggle of her breasts in return as if to tease me for punching a bouncy house. Mind you it wasn't to inflict damage, merely just to regain some control as holy hell did Usagi know how to make me lose it.
I almost roll my eyes at that. She giggled at seeing me getting annoyed so I pulled an uno reverse on her. I pulled out receiving a, "Hey!" in the process, flipped her over and pushed back inside as I pressed into her repeatedly…slapping her ass in the process. Watching her rear shake as she calls out for more. I could barely keep myself from doing what I wanted to do and seeing her body responding to me wasn't helping.
If I didn't get a hold of myself, I was going to come a lot earlier than I wanted to. Yet as I moved in and out of her I felt her reach back and pull me in by my own rear. Calling out for more. Not having had enough yet, I sat myself up, pulled her rear into my lap and as I was on my knees jerked her back onto me, over and over and over again. Hearing her calling out my name, well Mamoru's name.
I slapped her rear again and again, as if a small punishment for calling out for him instead of me, and yet he was me. I was him. We were one in the same. I adjusted her once more, pushing her rear up into the air as I stayed inside of her the whole time. I couldn't pull out, not yet. Instead I pressed forward, jerking her back onto me as she slid forward. The sweat coming off of both of us makes the bouncy material slick for us now.
I jerked, she cried. She clenched down and I grunted out. It was a loving give and take that made us both call out to the other for more. I dug my own digits into her so much that I was leaving my own claw marks on her ass.
"Mamo!" she called out. I felt her beginning to clench down as she was getting ready to come.
"Yes!" I hissed and felt it begin to stir for her. my own orgasm forming right behind hers.
It struck like a match flame. One second we were thrusting back and forth, the next, bam, her muscles clamped down and stole the breath from me forcing the orgasm out of me. I came. Hard inside of her. I gripped onto her so fast that I almost lost my footing. I was that reluctant to let go of her. she reached back in her final moments and held me close to her. gripping onto me as well as we both rode out the aftershocks of the dual orgasms.
We had less than a minute to recover when we both hear people coming our way.
"Shit."
We both wrestled to get our clothes back on, or at least the bottoms as the tops never left us. Just as she was putting her shoes back on, a few employees were opening the door. I bolted up, grabbing Usagi to come with me.
"Thanks, that door got stuck for us."
The employee, someone definitely new as I didn't recognize him, remarked, "Yeah I've heard that a LOT the last few days. Get out of here." He thumbed behind himself and we bolted.
We make it a few booths before stopping between one, Usagi has a mischievous expression on her face and is glowing from our recent sex session. I hate to sour it up but this is what I was aiming for. To butter her up so I could tell her the truth. This has gone on far too long and I'm letting my own fears and anxiety get the better of me.
What the hell is wrong with you, why are you going to tell her? I hear the evil in me demand, making itself known. You must be getting daft or something cause this is utter and pure stupidity. She will never accept you being evil.
I tell it…she doesn't have to accept it cause…it doesn't matter, what matters is being honest with her.
I was tempted to tell it the truth, but I suddenly felt fear from Mamoru take over. The fear that the evil would take me over and prevent the truth from getting out. I didn't want to be locked inside my own body. Mamoru's fears are in my mind now as I shadow that from the evil.
"Usagi I…," I look and see the people milling about. I pull her further between the booths for more privacy. Perhaps a better spot was needed but I have to be honest with her now, she deserves to know the truth.
"You know I love you more than anything…you're my light, my love…my everything," I tell her.
She looks at me like she's trying to figure out why I'm giving her this small speech.
"Mamoru of course you do, as do I to you," she assures me. I curse myself realizing that she thinks that my nervousness is attributed to wanting to reassure her of things rather than of what I'm actually about to say.
"Look I love you too, I will never stop loving you…you know that right?" she asks me as I nod my head.
"But Usagi…" I try to tell her only for her to put her fingers to my lips.
"We have to get back to the group or else we'll never hear the end of it from them, especially Rei, in fact lets go see her backstage."
She goes to drag me as I hold firm and tell her, "Usagi I need to tell you something important, but I don't want anyone else to hear me."
She stops trying to drag me. "What is it?" she closes in on me. "IS everything okay?"
"Physically I'm fine, but I need to get something off my chest that weighs on me."
She stops and allows me time to speak, just as I open my mouth to tell her, to make my confession Jadeite comes up, "Hey there you two are, I'm going backstage to see Rei, did you two want to join to help encourage her, wish her luck for the next part?"
I know he didn't mean to nor had any idea what I was about to do but it pissed me off nonetheless that we were interrupted.
"We were in the middle of - "
I get cut off as a jovial Minako jumps in with Malachite, "See I told you they skipped out a bit for some 'fresh air'." She puts in air quotes before taking Usagi's hand and saying, "We decided to join Jadeite in seeing Rei backstage."
I can tell that Jadeite kind of wishes to keep seeing Rei low key so it'd be quick and the more the girls get invested the less quick it would be. He remains quiet though as I sigh and realize I made an error in judgment to tell her at this place of all places. We all end up going to go see Rei backstage as I try to figure out WHEN I can tell Usagi now that this got ruined. Or maybe it was poor planning all around.
As we go back we see Rei doing prep work for her next song. Obviously she's a bit nervous as she's trying to double and triple check things all over. I can't help but smile at her in the way a older brother would his kid sister, even though Rei is definitely NOT a kid. She's obviously going to be a 'boss' type of woman one day and I know she's got the girl's full support on whatever endeavor she goes on.
The girls give her each their own 'knock 'em' out speeches which gives her hope yes but also, I see that she wants to talk to Jadeite. Alone. Typically I'd be all over leaving them alone as I don't want to or need to see that, but in this case, both looked to me as if maybe they were warning me off and my instincts rose up. Were they convoluting behind my back? No that couldn't be. I'm just getting paranoid.
I force myself to focus that no one is plotting behind my back just as the evil inside says…yeah just like they didn't have a secret meeting about getting rid of me out behind your back.
The evil has a point so I slip behind a curtain as the girls leave out and hang back as they begin to talk. Jadeite listens to Rei's rant, "Jadeite things aren't going as planned…"
This has me on high alert already. Were they planning something?
"I've gone over these songs several times and it still feels like something is missing from them, the color of the backdrop seems perhaps too dark and...there are so many people out there, what if I don't remember all the lyrics I wrote out..."
My alert dies out for a moment at seeing her panic beginning to grow. She is really nervous about this show going as planned. I see it etched into her face as she tries to maintain control over herself. I feel for her, both as a brother and as a friend.
That's when Jadeite speaks up, "Listen Rei, I know how you like things to be a certain way, perfect even, especially when you're creating something new and it's about to be unveiled."
She nods, "Of course."
Yet he calms her down, "The backdrop is the perfect shade of burnt red which fits perfectly for this setting."
I can see her looking it over to question it again before relenting that he has a point, "I have read the lyrics you showed me and I think they're great." The stress is beginning to leave her shoulders. "There's a part of you that people will not only hear but feel in their own hearts. I think what you're missing is hearing them sung with your voice matching the emotions."
Damn even I have to give him credit for that.
"You have to let yourself feel the emotions in the lyrics you wrote. Convey them to the audience, let them feel the words as you felt writing them out and singing them on stage."
I'm actually in awe of how he calmed her down. He was very effective simply by telling her the truth and explaining to her what was missing which really wasn't anything. They, the lyrics, had to be felt during the song to be fully conveyed.
He's right though and Rei sees it too. She seems to be taking in more normal breaths. Her breathing is evening out. She seems to be looking less panicked and more in control.
I swear, she looked more in control dealing with youma and cardian's than this. It's amazing the different skill sets we acquire through our super hero jobs.
"So just let myself feel them once I begin to sing," she confirms.
Jadeite leans in to kiss her and now it feels uncomfortable again, but I feel much less suspicious of things now. If anything I feel like I just interrupted a private moment between them and feel bad for it now.
"I have faith that this will be a night to remember for good reasons, just open up that part of yourself so that people can hear it and feel it," he tells her as she gives him one last finalizing kiss and goes back to work.
He leaves to go back to our seats. As I begin to leave I run right into him. Damn.
"Mind telling me why you felt it necessary to spy on us?" Jadeite asks, not one hint of humor around him. I don't blame him though, I would if that had been Usagi and I having a private moment so I understand his anger at me spying on them.
"Sorry I…I've been feeling off lately…," I sigh and confess to him. "I thought I overheard something wrong and yeah it was just my own paranoia. Won't happen again man."
He furrows his brows, "What did you think you overheard?"
I look at him embarrassed now and scratch the back of my head to alleviate an invisible scratch that came out of nowhere, "Would you believe I thought I heard plans for a 'coup'?"
He looks at me bewildered for a moment.
"Yeah like I said I'm feeling off lately, I got paranoid after I tried to talk to Usagi the stupid voice in my head didn't help and yeah it was stupid and I'm sorry," I assure him and yet he looks at me thinking before he goes, "OOoohh…oohh, you mean you were going to tell Usagi earlier!"
I push him off to the side. "You want to draw a crowd over here?" I ask him as he quiets down, "Sorry but you were weren't you?"
I nod my head yes.
"Fucking finally dude."
I raise my brow at his words.
"Sorry but seriously, it's gone on way too long as it is. Damn! I totally effed it up by interrupting you guys." He puts his hand to his mouth in a 'yikes' manner.
"No actually I probably picked a shit place to tell her. I mean come on now, an event like this where there's no real privacy…other than the secret private bouncy house room," I mutter the ending.
"You mean the room to the end of the corner where it's technically off limits," Jadeite asks. I looked at him in shock, "Don't look at me like that Rei needed some comfort before the concert."
I quite literally almost threw up in my mouth a little on that note. "Please dude…TO MUCH INFORMATION." I didn't yell it but I did enunciate it very clearly.
"Yeah like mentioning you and Usagi went in there wasn't TMI," He shrugs past me.
All thoughts of the evil getting exposed slips past me as another thought hits me, "Wait, you and Rei did it in the bouncy room like within the last hour or two?" I asked in mild shock.
Jadeite just gives me a grin, "Yup…come to think of it there might still be some leftover juices." I physically get ill again as Jadeite begins to laugh at the expression of disgust on my face, "Dude the look on your face right now is priceless."
I look at him as I try to remove the images from my memory. "That was disgusting. She's like a sister to me now, man," I tell him.
"Like it's worse than knowing you had sex with Usagi where mostly strangers had their gooey bits on?"
The recoil on that hits me hard. I really never thought of it that way, but yeah he's right. I didn't seem to care that other strangers had used it but took issue with him and Rei.
"Fine, but I know you two, we hang out together…that somehow makes it worse," I try as he smirks, "Does it, see the way I see it, it makes it better cause you know us, you trust us. Why do you think they swap and clean the sheets from every hotel room use? You don't know what a stranger had on them, or the dead skin cells or the potential fluids…"
I slap a hand over his mouth, "If you don't stop…"
He pokes his tongue out and I remove my hand.
"Immature ass," I call him as he spits off to the side where there's a trash can nearby. He takes out a tiny bottle of antiseptic mouthwash and gargles some around.
"Whatever happened to trust?" I snap back, he spits it out after 45 seconds.
"That was nothing off of trust and everything off of what you touched beforehand."
I furrow my brows at him now, "The hell are you trying to imply?" I nearly demand.
He gives me a, "Seriously dude?" expression and says as much.
"Yeah?" I question.
"Dude you just told me you had sex with Usagi, you're also a right handed guy."
I try to connect the dots but am stuttering at what point he's getting me to.
"So?" I ask, "Seriously, Mr. Medical?" he walks towards me and stops short of two feet, "What hand do you pull your dick out with for a roll with Usagi, the predominant one or the other one?"
And it suddenly clicks into mind what he was talking about, "Oh DUDE no!"
I look at my hand and try to recall if it was her that pulled him out or me, but I can't quite remember, it was the heat of the moment. "Dude, I…" I stare at my hand again but since I can't remember I have to admit he got me there.
"Fine…it's possible and yeah fine…," I admit to minor defeat. "But you licked my hand that was on you."
He smirks, "I have mouth wash, what do you have to wash my tongue off your hand?"
I look down and suddenly find a need to locate a hand sanitizing station…or bottle whichever I find first. As he walks past me I hear Jadeite remark, "And that's what you get for listening in on a private conversation."
I glare at him as he grins then does one more spit by another garbage can before leaving.
