Imagine Haruka being so taken with everything Michiru KNOWS about art and music and culture and everything so she starts reading those ~1,000 Fun Facts~ type books in hopes of having interesting tidbits to drop into conversation and impress Michiru right back
IMPORTANT RELATED POST. It’s a very important anniversary I’m sure you all care DEEPLY about. (extreme dorkiness, sappiness, and more selfies behind the cut)
ONE YEAR AGO TODAY MY FRIEND BOUGHT ME MY FIRST MENSWEAR
look at what a baby I was
I WAS SO NERVOUS THAT IT DIDN’T LOOK GOOD. YOU CAN SEE I WAS KIND OF TRYING TO FEMME IT UP, EVEN THOUGH THAT IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHY I WANTED THAT SHIRT.
compare to today, when I’m like “this is hideous and I love it”
I’M A WEE BIT FEELSY BECAUSE WHILE I’M STILL SELF CONSCIOUS ABOUT SOME ASPECTS OF MY PRESENTATION LOOK AT HOW FAR I’VE COME AND HOW MUCH MORE CONFIDENT I AM
Sleep comes easy for Minako, but it leaves even easier. It’s
a curse of all that she is. Venus will drive her to the brink of exhaustion,
and she’ll drive herself further, until she can fall asleep the second she
gives herself permission. But even then, her senses stay wired, ready to jolt
her awake should any danger appear. And lately, with the way things were
escalating…
She jerks awake to movement. It’s been so long since she
slept a full night, it takes her a moment to realize it’s only Rei, pulling a
blanket up over her shoulders. “Is everything okay?” she asks anyway. She moves
to get up, but Rei presses own on her back to keep her on the couch.
“Usagi’s fine, since I know that’s what you’re asking. Mako
and Ami are still up with her, all asleep.” She presses her lips together in a
huff. “You’re not okay though.”
“Of course I am.”
“How many nights do you come down here and try keeping
vigil?”
Minako stifles a yawn. It makes her eyes water. “Well, most
nights I succeed a bit better than this.” She won’t let Rei yell at her for it,
Rei knows better. “I can’t let anything happen to her, Rei. I never know when
something’s going to come, and after last time—“
“I know.” Rei’s hand has stayed on her back, and she begins
to rub. “I know. But damn it, Mina, this is what I’m here for. You’re supposed
to share this shit with me.”
“I don’t want—“
“I don’t care what
you want,” Rei spits, but then she dons one of her rare soft expressions. “I
care what you need. Let me stay awake for you. It’s better if we take turns.”
Minako wants to argue, but she knows it was true. And she
trusts Rei above anyone else. “You promise to stay awake? And wake me on even
the slightest suspicion of danger?”
“You know I will. Please sleep.” She turns to sit with her
back to the couch, shoulders squared and rigid in her particular Mars way. Mina
means to say thank you, but as soon as she’s decided Rei will keep them safe
enough, she’s already asleep.
TOMORROW IS MY SIXTH DAY IN A ROW WORKING, AND A CLOPEN AT THAT. I was down to two days a week for so long THIS IS ROUGH. BUt $$$$$ and also I might get to see the girl the day after, so INCENTIVE.
…and then I work again Wednesday SO I’M SORRY THERE WILL PROBABLY BE VERY LITTLE ACTIVITY FROM ME UNTIL THURSDAY.
THANK YOU KIND ANON. I have no idea what I’ve done to be an inspiration, but I will try and keep it up! You are very sweet and I love you, I hope everything in your life goes well too ❤
OKAY MAYBE NOT MARRY BUT STILL YES GOOD COSIGNED EXCELLENT TASTE.
THIS MADE ME LAUGH “So how did u know she was the one” “Well she had good opinions on Sailor Mars”
Tho tbh if we end up dating I would totally say that. Or maybe “She brought up architects who design parks and when I said ‘You mean a parkitect?’ she laughed”
