In The Late Of The Night
In the late of the night,
I dream about the inseparable romance we share.
Sure its forbidden love, but I can't stop my urges.
The words of love can't compare to my emotions I feel.
I wish on the shooting star you throw purposely for me.
Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might, for my wish to come true tonight.
You are my star. You are my love.
The light of the star arrow

Usagi was sitting at her desk with her face buried in her arms. Tears of hurtfulness streamed down her face and onto the wooden table. He left her, Mamoru. He left her for a career and another suitor. "You are too young…" he would imply. "I fell in love with you a thousand years ago. I fell in love with Princess Serenity, not Usagi Tsukino." Usagi let out a sob and wiped her face with her arm. She sat up looking at the blank chalkboard. School ended and she stayed there alone. Somehow, Usagi felt relief that Mamoru broke up with her. Ever since the Three Lights came, she had a secret crush on the lead singer, Seiya Kou. He spent a lot of time with her. She loved the way he would call her "Odango" and teased her during class. The way he would take her in his embrace when she felt upset. The way he would wipe her tears away and caresses her cheek whenever she felt uncomfortable. Usagi could just imagine kissing him. Feeling his soft, firm lips on hers. The kiss would be so gentle, that she would get tingles up and down her spine. Running her hand through his jet-black hair, and running his over her back. But yet, now it's hard to be done. She was so obsessed and caught up in destiny that she treated him only as a friend. He would get close to her and try to tell her, but it was no use. Usagi now only realizes the message he was trying to give her. "But what about Chibi-Usa?" Usagi asked Mamoru in tears. "Then she'll never be born."

In the late of the night,
Your face appears in my mind numerously.
The smile you wear makes me want to cry.
You only smile like that for "him".
I'm just a stupid fool who fell in love with you.
I just want to hold you I'm my arms, like you were mine.
To kiss you soft lips, like we were destined too.
But it's only a dream, a dream that can't come true.
I love you Odango, The Bunny from the Moon.

Seiya sat in his living room. Strumming the cords on his guitar as they echoed throughout the room. He was all alone now. His brothers were off with their loves. Yaten with Minako, Taiki with Ami, and everybody else on this goddamn planet! He was left without a love of his own. Only one thing filled his mind. "Odango…" he whispered. Seiya tried to think of his mission, his Princess, his planet, Odango… Seiya growled and threw down the instrument. He had to tell her before it was all over. No other person made him this crazy, or blind. Not even his Princess. He walked over to the phone and picked up the receiver. As he dialed Usagi's digits, he pictured a rejection. A hang up, a lecture, uproar… So many negative things crossed his mind. One ring…two rings…three, "Hello? Tsukino residence." "Hello, is Odan…Usagi there?" "No she's not. Can I leave her a message?" "No, that's Ok. Thanks."::click:: If she wasn't home, he was going out to look for her. It was 6:30 and it could get pretty dangerous at night. He was worried and determined.

In the late of the night,
I imagine my confession to you.
Will you accept and love me the way I do to you?
Or will you leave and never speak to me again?
I tried, but I can't forget you.
This isn't a game anymore, and now I'm worried.
If I roll a six, will you forsake me?
Or if I roll a twelve, will you cry and confess too?
I just hope they're doubles.

A tear streamed down Usagi's face as she watched her friends look down in despair. She had just told them that Mamoru broke up with her. "I can't believe he would do this." Ami spoke up. "After all they've been through. It all comes down to this?" Minako slammed her fist on the table. "That…bastard!" Makoto yelled with her eyes closed shut. "I guess we'll have to find you someone else, Usagi." Rei said. "I guess so." Everyone then started thinking. Usagi thought too, about Seiya. Will he be her new lover? "We need to find someone who makes promises he can keep…" Makoto suggested. "Someone who will go out of his way to make Usagi happy…" Minako chimed in. "Someone who likes Usagi for herself…" Ami stated. "Someone who puts Usagi's feelings before his…" Rei said. An image of Seiya popped into Usagi's mind. She started to dream in her own little world as her friends thought. They were all surrounded by silence till Minako spoke up. "I know!" she yelled. Everyone looked at her. "What?" "I know the person who would do those exact things!" everyone leaned in. "Who?" Minako was about to say her answer when someone opened the door. "Hey girls." It was Seiya. "Seiya!" Minako yelled. The inner senshi minus Usagi looked at each other. "Oh…." "Hi Seiya." Usagi said as she blushed.

In the late of the night,
I see tears of pain weld up in your eyes.
I wish I could just kiss them away.
But I'm only a friend in your eyes,
So what good will it do to you and me?
In my eyes, there was something magical.
But the feeling was so tragical.
And the outcome, I can't even say.
I guess my love was blind.

Seiya and Usagi walked alone in the park. Hearing the cricket's sing and seeing the stars flicker in the night. It was almost autumn so the days were shorter and the temperature was cooler. "I'm so sorry Odango. I wish there was something I could do." Seiya said concerned. Usagi broke the news to Seiya about Mamoru. "It's Ok." They both walked up to a bench and sat down. They both stared strait ahead at nothing. Waiting for the right moment to confess. Usagi looked up at the stars as a wind blew. It gave her goose bumps all over her body, and she rubbed her arms. Seiya noticed. "I'm sorry. How rude of me." Usagi looked over at Seiya confusingly. She saw him take off his red jacket and put it over her shoulders. "Thank you Seiya." Seiya smiled as he put his arms around Usagi and held her tight. Butterflies started to slam against Usagi's stomach. He was always so warm and comforting. "Better?" Seiya asked looking down at her. Usagi nodded and laid her head on his shoulder. Seiya kissed her forehead gently, and wiped away a tear rolling down Usagi's cheek. "You know, it's kind of funny really. When I was still dating Mamoru, I actually started to have a crush on somebody…" Seiya laid his cheek on Usagi's temple as he caressed her cheek. "Are you going to ask him out, now that you're single?" Seiya asked being his naïve self. Of course he had his doubts it was himself. "Yes I may. I'm just afraid that he may not feel the same way I do." Usagi answered running her hand over Seiya's chest and onto his shoulder. Seiya started to move his hand down toward Usagi's chin, as their heads started to back away slowly, but moved closer at the same time. "Do you think he's a good enough replacement for him?" Seiya asked. "I think he is. He'll probably be more loyal and caring. And I know I'll be happier with him. I'll be able to move on." Seiya gently kissed Usagi's cheek. He was happy she'd be able to move on. By now, Seiya had his thumb at the corner of Usagi's lips, and Usagi had her hand on his neck. Usagi started to speak again. "But I hope that we won't end up the same way as Mamoru and I did…" Seiya was about to kiss the corner of Usagi's mouth until she spoke up. "…But he will always be the number one lover in my heart." All of a sudden, everything stopped. Seiya sat there speechless with a girl in his arms he has no chance with. And Usagi in his arms, scared and realizing that she screwed up big time with her statement. Tears started to form in her eyes as she thought she lost another lover.

In the late of the night,
I cry as you kissed me goodbye.
Really meaning to say I love you.
But it was my fault that I lost you.
I was so stupid to lead you on like that
And now I wish you could forgive me.
I want to be in you arms, I want to feel your touch.
The only way for me to fall asleep is to think of what might have been.
And for my tears of guilt to strain my face.

Usagi was walking home from school playing the last night in her head. "Why did I say that? We were so close." Tears started to form in her eyes. "Usagi!" Usagi looked behind to see Seiya standing behind her. What happened to Odango? "Hi Seiya. Listen about last night…!" "No it's Ok. I understand about you feelings about Mamoru. He was your first love, and he should have a special place in your heart. Besides, it didn't hurt me at all." Seiya interrupted. It didn't hurt him? Of course it hurt him! Like she ripped his heart out, put it in a blender, and pressed frappe! (Ew!). "Um, Ok. But thank you for being there." Wait a minute! Why didn't Seiya hug her and greet her with a gentle kiss on her forehead like he always did? Why wasn't he referring Usagi as Odango? She suddenly felt cold. "I need to go. Call me if you need anything. I'll be right over." Seiya said with a weak smile.

In the late of the night,
The nightmare I vision came true.
You still love him, and I stay in my place as "friend".
I can't get you, or those words you said out of my mind.
I cry at night knowing I can't have you for anything in the world.
Knowing I'm not good enough,
And realizing it would all be over.
Not believing that you've actually deceived me.
But I still love you, Odango.

Seiya sat in his living room thinking about Usagi. How could of he been so stupid? Of course she still loves him! He was her destiny, her lover! A tear rolled down his face. "Odango, why did you lead me on like that? Why can't I just have you for one minute?" "What are you talking about?" Yaten asked sitting on the chair. Seiya immediately wiped the tear from his face. "Nothing." Yaten knew his brother. He was thinking about "Her". "Seiya, don't punish yourself like this. You've tried. At least give yourself some credit for that." "I know but now I know it won't actually happen. She is devoted to him. I'm still just a friend." Seiya held back his tears. "Well, the best way for her to know your feelings is to keep away and
quiet. Don't flirt with her anymore. Don't touch her like you used to." (He got all his info from Minako) Seiya looked down. He didn't want to see Usagi hurt. He would rather much more die than see her like that.
But if it was a way for her to recognize his feelings...well…? "Ok." And all through the week he did. Instead of greeting her with a hug and kiss on the head, it was replaced by a "hello". Instead of taking her in his embrace and comforting her by caressing her cheek, his did nothing of the sort. Just stood there and let out comforting words. And instead of calling her "Odango", he just called her by her real name. It killed him to see her like that. He just wanted to hold her. Maybe disappear into the night with her, and share a passion.

In the late of the night,
I'm left all alone in this world.
Without a lover…without you.
The light that glowed within me has now died out.
I shiver, as I can't feel your warm body close to mine.
Where did the feeling go?
What happened to the love, I used to know?
Say you'll love me again.
And give me one more chance.

All through that same week, all Usagi felt was pure torture. She skipped meals and barely slept, as she couldn't bear to stand the next day without feeling Seiya's touch. She was cold at any temperature cause she wasn't given his warmness through his embrace. Crying herself to sleep every night, she always felt guilt. Usagi would give anything in the world for his touch, for his love, for him! Usagi stood under a tree in the park where they had their first date. It was a secluded area, so no one was around to see Usagi hurt. "Seiya, there are so many things I need to tell you." as she said as a wind blew. Seiya was walking in the same park and felt the wind blow too. But he somehow sensed that somebody was yearning for him. He walked over behind the benches and the public park square and saw Usagi standing under the tree. He saw her sad expression. Was it her that sent him the message? He almost cried himself cause he knew he was the cause of Usagi's hurt. Seiya knew now it was a good time to confess so he started walking toward her.

"Usagi!" he yelled as he came closer. She turned toward him with saddened eyes filled with tears. "Seiya…" she whispered. Usagi walked up to him. "Usagi, are you Ok? What's wrong Usagi?" Seiya asked concerned. Usagi couldn't hold it in any longer. She started to cry loudly and sob into her hands. Seiya wanted to touch her and hold her. Tell Usagi everything would be all right. But he had to stop himself. She only liked him as a friend. He wasn't in any position to touch her. So he just stood there, staring at Usagi with a sad face. With his hands thrust in his pockets. "Usagi…" she still cried hard. She couldn't take it anymore. Usagi needed his touch. She yearned for it for too long, but now it was needed more than anything. Usagi then reached for Seiya's hands and yanked them out of the pockets. She placed both of them on her cheeks and held them tightly to her face. "Seiya, why don't you do that anymore?" she asked bawling. Usagi's salty tears streamed onto Seiya's hands. "Do what?" "I miss the way you would hold me! I miss the way you would caress my face! I miss the way you would wipe my tears away when I was upset! I miss the way you would call me Odango!" Usagi now started to calm down now that she could feel Seiya's touch. She still held his hands tight against her cheeks. Seiya now started to feel dumb and guilty. "I'm sorry…" he whispered on the verge of tears. Usagi still cried. This wasn't enough, not for only this moment. She needed him forever, forever holding her, forever kissing her, forever loving her. Usagi looked at Seiya through her watery eyes as she felt his hands wipe her streaming tears. She let go of his hands and slid her hands on his shoulders as she stepped closer to him. Without thinking, she planted her lips on his. Giving it all the love and force she could. It was a strong kiss, so welcoming, so warm, passionate, deep… Seiya returned the kiss. Still having his hands on her cheeks. They both kissed for several minutes, till they finally parted. "I love you…" Usagi whispered. Seiya stroked her cheek. "I love you too, Odango…" Usagi smiled and pulled in for another kiss.

"Seiya…"
"Yes, Odango?"
"Do you love me?"
"Of course I do. With all my heart."
"I wish we could stay like this forever."
"We could Odango."
"Do you think we have a future together?"
"Yes, I think we do."
"I love you, Seiya."
"I love you too, Odango."

In case you all were wondering, the parts where it started with "In the late of the night..." are Usagi and Seiya's thoughts about each other. I made it go Usagi, Seiya, Usagi, Seiya... and so on, until the ending. They're like talking to each other in their minds. I'd just thought I'd tell you so you wouldn't get confused. I know Seiya wouldn't do anything like that, but I just thought it would be a good story and a good way for them to tell each other "I love you". I was inspired from the song "In The Late Of Night" by Toni Braxton.
