He watched her from across the room, admiring how gracefully she moved as she walked alongside of her Princess. The man wanted nothing more than to fade into the background and continue to observe her, but his Shitennou uniform would never allow him that. He wore his uniform proudly as it was a badge of honor to him to have achieved his rank at such a young age. At times he would think to himself about how Kunzite, as strong and magnificent as he was, did not obtain his position until he was 19 - 2 years older than Zoicite’s current age. It was fate that delivered all of them to their current lives, but he hoped that somehow it was something even more that brought him to this present status at his age. Otherwise, he thought, he may have never met the beautiful Mercurian Princess. She was everything that he could have dreamed of, yet she seemed to be so unobtainable to him.
Her soft melodious voice carried over to him as she spoke with her Princess and he continued to admire how her inky dark hair contrasted beautifully against her pale skin. He could only imagine to himself how wonderful it would feel to actually reach out and touch her, to hold her in his arms. She looked over her shoulder to notice him staring and smiled before returning her full attention back to Serenity. His cheeks became tinged with pink as he turned away trying to make himself look less obvious. Surely she knew how he felt even if he was too afraid to vocalize his feelings. She was his first love and his only love.
