Disclaimer: Tsukino Usagi, Seiya Kou, and any of the other characters that are appear in this drabble do not belong to me, but to the ingenious Naoko Takeuchi. I don't think I can lay claim to the idea of this kind of alternate timeline, either, but sometimes I hope this actually did happen. ♥ Here are all the Kisses I've done so far~
'I'm saying that I don't love you anymore!'
It took all of Usagi's willpower not to burst out crying again. Her nails dug into the soft flesh of her palms and her upper teeth bit down desperately on her lower lip till she felt the sharp sting behind her eyes fade. Slowly, she unclenched her fists, licking her lips absentmindedly as she looked at the deep crescent-shaped marks her nails left behind.
She sat alone at her table in a cheery little café. It was a new store that had opened up only a few days ago so there weren't too many people yet, but that suited her just fine. She refused to go to Crown for fear of running into Rei and the others and having to tell the story again, but at the same time she didn't want to stay at home. Too many things there reminded her of him.
Usagi felt a tear slip down her cheek and frowned, lifting a hand to brush it away, but jolted when another hand gently wiped it away for her. The person's fingers felt soft and warm against her skin, and for a moment Usagi thought it was Mamoru's.
She looked up and met a pair of deep blue eyes, certainly not her former boyfriend's, but somehow they held the same warmth. They crinkled at the corners as their owner smiled down at her, and she was mesmerized.
"What's a pretty girl like you doing here, sitting alone and crying?" the young man said, his smooth baritone pleasant to her ears.
Usagi flushed, scooting back in her chair and running her fingers self-consciously over the remaining tear tracks on her face. "Y-you shouldn't sneak up on people like that!" she stammered, trying to get rid of the red in her cheeks.
He laughed, and to Usagi's incredulity, pulled out the chair next to hers and promptly sat down. "I'm only concerned, you know. Pretty girls shouldn't be sad and crying. They should be happy and laughing, showing everyone their beautiful smiling faces and sharing their light with the rest of the world," he explained, flashing his own bright grin at her.
For some reason, his words comforted her, and Usagi allowed herself a tiny smile. "There you go! See? You're shining brilliantly already!" he praised her, and Usagi laughed a little. He chuckled along with her, and she felt a small part of the aching sadness in her heart disappear.
"Seiya Kou," he introduced himself, extending his hand out to her.
"Tsukino Usagi," she returned, hesitantly slipping her hand into his. To her surprise, he tilted his hold and bent down to kiss the back of her hand, causing her to let out a little indignant cry.
"Don't do that!" she squawked, holding her hand to her chest as if she had been burned by his touch. He looked surprised for a moment, but fell back into the easy laugh she had started to associate him with.
"Ah, sorry, sorry, Odango. You just remind me of someone," he cocked his head at her, and she felt as if he were looking right into her.
'You remind me of someone, too ...' she thought, looking him over and pondering the strange familiarity that washed over her.
Their silence was broken by someone calling out Seiya's name. They both glanced over to see a silver-haired young man holding a bass guitar and looking quite irritated. Behind him was a tall brown-haired man fiddling around with a keyboard, pressing various keys and constantly adjusting and re-adjusting the settings as he saw fit.
"Oi, Seiya! Stop flirting and help us set up! We're starting in ten minutes!" the boy with the guitar called out, and both of them flushed.
"I'll be right there, midget!" Seiya retorted, to which the other boy responded with a rather rude gesture and a flip of his long ponytail, before turning back to Usagi. "Haha, sorry about that. I play in this band called the 'Three Lights', and those guys on the stage are my bandmates. We're just starting out, but I think I'd be justified in saying we're pretty good," he explained.
"Oh, really?" Usagi couldn't help but raise a fine golden brow, and Seiya made a face at her.
"Well, why don't you stick around and listen to us play? Then you tell me if we're any good or not," he grinned.
She regarded him carefully for a moment, taking in the earnest hopefulness beneath the easy grin. She smiled, and made her decision.
"I think I just might take you up on that, Seiya Kou."
