Warnings: If there's any grammar or spelling error, please, warn me.
1. Walking
Walking is too boring - she’d rather run, dance, jump, and not just walk -, but, as he holds her hand, escorting her to the bus stop, she thinks that it’s the best thing in the world.
2. Waltz
Rei wonders if she should warn Yaten about the risks of dancing with Minako Aino, but dismisses the idea when she sees the shining smile of her friend.
3. Wishes
She stares at the sky every night, wishing to hear his voice again.
4. Wonder
He often looks at them (her) and wonders what they (she) have that he doesn’t.
5. Worry
“We can’t get in”, they say, and she stares helplessly at the closed doors of Ginga TV, picturing the Starlights (Healer) alone there against the worst enemy they had ever faced.
6. Whimsy
“I so wanna be a cat”, she comments, staring at him; he raises his eyebrows, thinking the girl finally went nuts.
7. Waste/Wasteland
Sitting there, beaten and defeated, waiting for Uranus-tachi to come back, her last scream still ringing on her ears, Healer thinks that the rural planet has become even uglier now.
8. Whiskey and rum
She smiles at him defiantly - never challenge Minako Aino! -, but starts coughing just after swallowing the drink, and then it’s his time to smile.
9. War
She has lost so many things - a lot of loved ones, her beautiful Princess, everything - but the thought of losing Minako Aino it’s what drives her to end that damned war once and for all.
10. Weddings
Had it been years ago, she’d squeal with delight for catching Katarina’s bouquet - today, all she feels is her heart aching painfully at his memory.
11. Birthday
He didn’t really expect anyone to remember; but, when they arrived from the photo session, he was startled by that roar of “SURPRISE”, and the presence of everyone, and his bandmates’s amused smiles, but, most of all, by Minako Aino jumping on him to say her congratulations.
12. Blessing
She prepares to get on stage once more, and, as always, she remembers his voice saying she shone more than any of them.
13. Bias
She’s nuts to trust in such a klutz as Usagi Tsukino, but that trust is so deep in her smile and in her eyes that he, sometimes, wishes he could have this kind of blind belief.
14. Burning
The blasts of energy burn all her body, hurting her arms and legs and face and all, but she doesn’t feel any pain: the dying face of Minako Aino burns her inside and gives her the strength to believe.
15. Breathing
Ages after, when forced by Chibiusa to tell about their first kiss, she would say that he was holding her tight, his erratic breathing being the only sound in the world.
16. Breaking
When Sailor Star Healer faces her, deception shining in her emerald-green eyes, Sailor Venus feels like something inside her has been tore apart.
17. Belief
He believes in four things in this life: his Princess has the better heart in the galaxy; Seiya can be an idiot when he wants, but is determined and a good friend; Taiki is too serious, but the better partner he could have in life; and Minako Aino has the most beautiful smile he has ever seen.
18. Balloon
When he hands it to her, she smiles, and he doesn’t know how a simple balloon bought on an amusement park can make his heart beat so quickly.
19. Balcony
When the great scene of Romeo and Juliet starts, Minako can’t help but fantasize: she in the balcony, waiting, and her Romeo - a silver-haired, green-eyed Romeo - smiling to her from the ground.
20. Bane
He runs away when she appears, claiming she’s like a bane to him, but Seiya knows better - no one but Yaten smiles when a bane’s near.
21. Quiet
“And Aino-san?”, Seiya snaps when Yaten starts his speech about being too close with the Earth; the silver-haired idol opens his mouth, mumbles something and closes it again.
22. Quirks
Ami is the first to notice it; during the camp they make on the first high school vacation, every night, before sleeping, Minako blows a kiss to the stars.
23. Question
“Why do I feel this way when she’s around?”, he asks Taiki, who, for once, has no answer.
24. Quarrel
The grip on her arm is strong, but she knows he doesn’t really mean it; his eyes are the eyes of a desperate man who doesn’t know how to get the answers he needs.
25. Quitting
The knowledge that even carefree and bubbly Minako Aino (no, Sailor Venus) lied to him is what makes him give up on Earth.
26. Jump
He doesn’t know why he is on the ground, and what exactly hit him - last thing he remembers was asking Minako out for the first time…
27. Jester
She laughs at every joke he makes, and so he makes jokes just to hear her laugh.
28. Jousting
“And beautiful lady Minako tied her handkerchief on the lance of the silver-haired knight-stop it, Rei-chan, I’m trying to tell Chibiusa a story!”
29. Jewel
Her shining eyes are the most precious treasure on Earth.
30. Just
She is just everything he hates on a woman - too happy, too careless - but she just needs to smile and he is on his knees.
31. Smirk
She falls in love with him all over again when he flashes that particular smirk - the one which makes him look like the goddamned best-looking alien idol of the galaxy.
32. Sorrow
It’s hard to see, but it’s there, just hiding behind her eyes and her happy smile - and he wonders what kind of hardships a girl like her has passed through, and why she hides it from everyone.
33. Stupidity
He feels like he is the most stupid guy ever, but there’s nothing he can do about it: he has fallen for the Aino girl.
34. Serenade
She knows he is singing for his lost Princess and for the Light of Hope; still, it doesn’t stop her from fantasizing he sings “Search for your love” only for her.
35. Sarcasm
He likes to see how people react to his sarcasm - except for her, because she only smiles and looks at him with loving eyes, as if she understood everything.
36. Sordid
There is that huge feeling that what she’s doing is wrong - after all, a faithful Senshi should not take advantage of the diplomatic meetings between her kingdom and another to shag the another kingdom’s Senshi.
37. Soliloquy
“You know, I don’t like her; it’s only that she is a little bit interesting, so… crazy and all these things… and I watch her because I have to be careful - who knows when she will jump and cling to your neck? -, not because she’s beautiful and funny and caring, and no, I don’t like her at all.”
38. Sojourn
When she arrived, all she wished was to find their Princess and get out of that crazy planet as soon as she could; now that she’s leaving, she remembers Minako’s blue eyes and wishes she could stay a little longer.
39. Share
The words just escape from his lips (he never liked sharing feelings), and, to his surprise, her fiery eyes and the cry of indignation (“The Three Lights shine more than anyone else!”) provide him a comfort he hasn’t met in a long, long time.
40. Solitary
She feels worried with her Starlights - Fighter doesn’t look anyone in the eyes, Maker is often distracted and thoughtful, and Healer pretends she’s fine and everything, but, when she thinks she’s thinks she’s alone, she looks to the sky with a sad expression on her face.
41. Nowhere
Once, just once, he thought his Princess was nowhere to be found; the thought of it was so despairing he almost fell, and he just didn’t fall because Minako held him by the arm - and, looking into her blue eyes, he realized she’d always be there for him.
42. Neutral
To him, there are only two sides: or you are with them, with all the implications of it, or you aren’t - so he doesn’t understand how he can feel these things for her, who is on the other side.
43. Nuance
It’s not as if she haven’t saw weird colors of hair before (c’mon, Chibiusa’s hair is pink), but that shade of silver is like nothing she has ever seen, and she can’t help but touch the soft ponytail softly, only to see if it’s real.
44. Near
She’s always too close, jumping around him, hugging him, looking at his cards and he kind of hates it; but, when he sees her at the airport, and first realizes she’s not going anywhere near him again, pain stabs his heart.
45. Natural
Ami and Makoto tell her to pretend nothing has happened, for Usagi’s sake; but how can she be natural, if the desk at her side is so painfully empty?
46. Horizon
Deep inside, in his heart, he wishes he could break the line which spares them: he, a star in the sky, and her, stuck in the Earth.
47. Valiant
The golden energy blasts are going to hit them (him) and they aren’t going to escape, she knows it, and so she stops thinking and shields him with her heart.
48. Virtuous
She hurt that Princess of hers, she screamed she didn’t want any allegiances, she scared a little child, and she repeated, over and over again, that she wouldn’t move a finger to save Earth; still, Venus shielded her with her body, and she wants to yell that she’s not worthy of such a sacrifice.
49. Victory
“Please, please, please!”, she wails, and he is forced to surrender - he lets Minako wrap an arm around his shoulder and make the V sign to the photographer.
50. Defeat
“Okay, okay, let’s stop pretending!”, he shouts, and, for a moment, she doesn’t know what he means; however, all becomes clear when he pins her to the wall, crashing his lips onto hers - and she accepts his defeat cheerfully.
