I REALLY don't like this
drabble, but I couldn't come up with any other ideas and I was just
getting frustrated so I decided to post this that way I'll be able to
move on to a different theme.

Jealousy simmered in the pit of Usagi’s stomach as she watched Mamoru
chat with an animated brunette. She was so…spunky but somehow
business-like and elegant at the same time. How unfair was that?
The brunette whispered something in his ear and he glanced around the
room his cheeks turning a pale shade of pink. Mamoru was
blushing. Actually blushing! Then the two began laughing
together like old friends…or lovers.
Usagi snorted forcefully causing her bangs to fly into the air before
returning softly to their position on her thought-creased
forehead. She wanted to know what they were talking about, but
was too afraid to move closer; if Mamoru found out that she was
actually interested in what he was doing, that she actually cared…
She involuntarily shivered at the image of Mamoru laughing at her while she hung her head in shame. No, she decided, he must never know my true feelings towards him.
It was better if she remained klutzy Odange and he the unreachable Baka.
Fire flashed dangerously in Usagi’s crystal blue eyes as the brunette
gave Mamoru a kiss on the cheek. How dare she! Her lips
should come no where near her Mamoru. Usagi’s thoughts froze
momentarily. Her Mamoru? Since when did you own him? This confusing thought was immediately followed by another. This is all Mamoru’s fault.
Every problem has a man at the bottom of it.
Usagi angrily rose from her carefully hidden booth and marched over to
Mamoru who was still staring after the brunette. She cleared her
throat carefully and Mamoru’s head snapped around. He looked at
her and if anything his blush seemed to deepen.
“You have a bit of lipstick on your cheek, baka,” Usagi snatched a
napkin off of the counter and began fiercely scrubbing his cheek
leaving it redder than before. “Though why anyone would want to
kiss you is absolutely beyond me.”
After Usagi was done scrubbing away all traces of that…tramp’s
mark Mamoru put a hand to his now raw cheek. “Is something wrong,
Odango?” He asked cautiously. “You seem a little…” he
trailed off uncomfortably.
“A little what?” she demanded angrily hands on her hips.
“Violent?” He admitted. “It’s actually a little
intimidating.” He tried one of his infamous smirks, but one look
from Usagi and it melted away.
“Oh really,” Usagi replied slyly. She rose herself to her full
height her nose almost touching his chin. “Well maybe you should
remember that the next time you go kissing brunettes!” She shoved
her finger into his chest with each sharp word.
She turned on her heel and strode out of the Arcade. Mamoru
stared after his mouth hanging wide open. He silently swore at
Yamasita the new woman in charge of planning out his modeling work
around his school. In essence she was his daily planner. That was
the last time he listened to any of her love advice.
“There’s a girl watching you right
now,” she had whispered in his ear, “Don’t look, but she’s gorgeous,
could be a model herself, with that beautiful blonde hair. A
really interesting style too, kind of reminds me of odangos…
Though she looks a little upset; I bet if you ask her what’s wrong
she’ll be all over you. Girls love a guy who cares.”
Then she had begun to laugh and nudged him hard in the ribs to get him to laugh along with her.
Mamoru put a hand to the sore spot on his chest that Usagi had skewered. I’ll never understand girls. The image of Usagi her eyes burning in fury flashed into his mind.
And that’s the way I like it.
