Dirty Little Secrets
Valentine's Day
Disclaimer:Don't own anything of Sailor Moon. Seriously.
Valentine's Day used to be a happy day for Haruka. Well, other then she gets tons of chocolates, she received some chocolate cookies from Michiru too. Well, its not really chocolate, but the blonde was equally happy. She don't think other people had received Val's Day presents from Michiru, that's what makes her even happier.
But since yesterday's event, this year Valentine's Day was different for the handsome blonde. If she had lived the day with high spirit last year, this year she spent the day looking sorrowful and distressed.
This morning, Michiru had gone to school without Haruka. At school, the aqua-haired girl avoided talking to her at all. And this crushes her even more.
"Please accept my gift!" a blushing girl gave a heart-shaped box to Haruka.
"Thanks"
The girl looked up at the blonde, expecting a charming smile, what all she get was the expression of a person that has starved for 5 years.
Michiru's words had created a mental shock to the blonde, and because of that anyone that seen her face would have thought that someone had died.
"A-ano…Haruka-san…" Tsukino Usagi, Haruka's junior and friend decided to talk to the blonde about the depressing aura Haruka had put on mode.
"W-what happened?"
"Eh? Nothing…" the blonde answer in the depressed tone
"But your aura is so depressing, want to talk about it?"
"Eh?" Usagi's words seems to make the blonde realized the negative effect she had on living things around her. Usagi said that her aura is depressing…
'Oh…' Haruka remembered the funeral she went by this morning and idly thought if she was the cause of it.
"Haruka-san?"
"I'm heart broken…" the depressing tone lessened, but not at all gone
Usagi smiled. She senses that Haruka's pitying condition is because of a certain someone "is it Michiru-san?"
Instead of lightening up in hearing the name, Haruka fell deeper into the depression, making all the leaves around her shrivel up to dry and die (it's winter, no duh).
Usagi sweat dropped at the effect on the blonde "a-ano…are you guys fighting?"
Haruka's 'even-more-depressed' mode seems to answer Usagi's question. As an added effect on the negative aura let out by the blonde, some of the flying pigeons fell from the sky, presumably dead.
Stricken with the fact that Haruka's depression could actually kill, Usagi tried to cheer up the blonde "demo, Haruka-san, it cant be all bad, can it?"
"Gyaa!" Usagi shrieked as the math teacher who went pass them fell to the ground, gasping for air. "H-Haruka-san, stop being so depressed!"
Haruka looked up at her with teary eyes "but I messed up…what can I do??" and before she could resume her depressed mode, Usagi replied quickly.
"Michiru-san is very forgiving. I know that if you apologize, she'll forgive you right away!"
"Really?" Haruka sniffed
Usagi nod and smiled "I know it"
Hope seems to appear in the blonde's heart as her depression mode seems to disappear. "Thanks, neko-chan" Haruka grinned at the younger girl before leaving with a slightly cheerful air.
As though a miracle had appeared, the dying leaves seems to resume its life, the pigeons took off to the sky once again and the gasping math teacher sat up and walked away muttering "asthma…asthma…asthma…"
Usagi wiped her forehead, sighing "another live saved". Dealing with a depressed Tenoh Haruka is not easy at all.
Haruka fumbled with her doorknob at the end of the day. Valentine's Day couldn't be madder than this. After school she went home with 3 extra bags in her hands full of chocolates. Her eyebrow twitched as she clumsily tried to open the door.
"Even you had come to hate me!" Haruka whine when she failed in opening it.
"Who else hated you?" a melodic voice reached her ear, making the blonde turn around. Michiru was standing in front of her room, her bag is equally big and she had 2 extra bulging bags with her.
"Michiru…" the bags in Haruka's hands fell to the ground in her haste to turn at the aqua-haired girl. Michiru giggled at the sight.
"As always, good haul this year. But I got some too" she smiled, lifting the bags for Haruka to see. Michiru was equally popular at school, with her as a violin prodigy. But seeing the aqua-haired girl reminds Haruka of yesterday's events. And that automatically put the blonde to her default mode, the depressed mode.
Michiru blinked at the sudden mood drop and smiled. Then she went to her bag and took something out of it.
"Here" Haruka turned at the voice and saw a blue box wrapped in gold ribbons. Her emerald eyes widened and she looked up at Michiru, whose face was a bit pink.
"What the-" the blonde was at loss of word.
Michiru put the box to Haruka's hand "it's for you, silly. Chocolates" she giggled at Haruka's shocked expression "I tried to find you at school, but you look so depressed that I decided to give it when your mood light up"
"B-but but, yesterday…" the famous racer stutters out of character "you said you hated me!"
Michiru's brow furrowed "I didn't say I hated you"
"B-But, you said you didn't want to be friends with me anymore!"
The violinist sighs and let go of Haruka's hand (the blonde regretted it immediately) "yes, I was angry at you"
The blonde racer's head fell, then she hold up the chocolates "then I don't deserve this, I ruined your Valentine's Day". Michiru was surprised with the blonde action, then she giggled.
"Ruined it? no, silly. You made it even more special" the smile radiating from Michiru was genuine. Haruka wondered what on earth cause such a mood.
"how come?"
Michiru smiled. She took Haruka's hands and hand back the box of chocolate "you made me realize, that the very person I was waiting to spend my Valentine's Day with is right in front of me all along"
It make no sense to the blonde "eh?"
The violinist rolls her eyes "well, I figured out yesterday, that your shocking actions…is caused by your feelings. You…love me, don't you?"
Haruka blushed deep red to the bottom of her feet. Why does this girl have to know everything about her?
"I'll take that as a yes" Michiru smiled "and I love you too. That's why I forgive all the things you did"
Haruka's world seems to light up all of the sudden. No more depressed state and more Michiru-goggling!!
"Michiruuuuuuu…." The teary blonde practically flew at violinist with her arms wide open to capture the other girl in an embrace. But before it could happen, Michiru raised a hand in front of the blonde's face and smiled, mischief sparkles in her sapphire eyes.
"before that, I want to say something"
Haruka blinked as her happines evaporated a bit "what?"
The aqua-haired girl smiled mildly "well…remember the hot leather outfit you wore yesterday?" a blush from the blonde means yes and the mischievious look in Michiru's eyes became more apparent. With her eyes not leaving the blonde, she took something out of her pocket and wave it infront of Haruka's wide eyes.
"This…is for me to keep" the polaroid shot of Haruka in the black sexy clothes was looking back at the flabbergasted blonde. Michiru giggled and went back to her waiting bags in front of her room and unlocked her door.
"oh, and Haruka. Come to my place at 7. see you later, Harue-chan" she give the blonde a short peck on the cheek and closed her door with a snap. The blonde, on the other hand, was too shocked seeing her own self dressed in that skimpy clothes and what's worse, caught on camera. Her jaw was open wide and her eyes staring into space, still shocked by the photo.
"Ano…" the old lady who lives across from Haruka stopped in front of the shocked racer, waving a hand in front of her eyes "son, you're standing in front of my room"
Haruka was jerked back to reality "eh?" she turned around "room 2127…oh." Her room is 2107. no wonder she cant open it…
"Gomen" the blonde stepped away from the door as the old lady put her key in the lock. But before she went inside, she turn to Haruka.
"May God Bless You" and closed the door with a snap.
Haruka blinked. What is that all about?
Inside the room, the old lady laughed at the different shots of Haruka in the leather clothes that was stuck to her refrigerator door. After Michiru found Ryota's ID on Haruka's study, she asks the old lady if she'd seen where Haruka'd gone and practically drag her to accompany the violinist pursuing her friend. And when she saw Haruka in the skimpy clothes, the old lady gratefully clicked away with the polaroid camera she was holding, and gave the best shot to the grateful Michiru.
"Pay back for those nights where you keep me awake…" the old lady muttered before laughing out loud and eventually ending up caughing afterwards.
OWARI
A/N:Finally, the end. Haruka's obsession with Michiru and her endless fantasy that triggers loud laughter that keeps the old lady up at night, that's why she had those shots as revenge to get back at the blonde. XP. The last review will hopefully help me write a better fic. Thanks for reading!
