[ P - Pre-Teen ]

A/N:
Another super short little Rei/Minako fic. This pairing is starting to grow on me...

I Propose

Rei sighed happily. Looking up at Minako's face from where she lay with her head in the Venusian senshi's lap, she practically melted. The miko couldn't help the warmth that spread through her heart.

Minako was above her, softly humming an unidentifiable tune as she flipped through a fashion magazine with one hand. The other hand idly played with the long strands of her lover's raven hair. A faint smile rested upon her lips, and Rei could easily tell that the girl was happy.

Pausing for a moment to bask in that concept, Rei felt a giddy smile overtake her features. Minako was happy. Minako was happy being with her. Rei was the one who gave her that happiness. Rei made her laugh and smile and moan in pleasure. She was the one who inspired all of these things in the blonde. And, to Rei, that was all she truly needed to survive.

The miko reached up and gently ran the tips of her fingers across the lightly tanned skin of Minako's cheek. The light touch turned into a more solid caress as the blonde's smile widened and she leaned into those fingers, her eyes still on the magazine she held.

Shifting so that she now lay on her stomach, Rei wrapped her arms around Minako's waist and pressed her face into the girl's belly. The light smell of cinnamon and strawberries invaded her senses. It was a combination of the blonde's shampoo and the incense that was burned at the temple. A testament to how much time the girl actually spent there, helping Rei with the chores under the pretences of getting done faster so they could go on a date.

Nuzzling her nose into the soft flesh of Minako's stomach, Rei heard a giggle bubble up from the blonde as she hit a ticklish spot.

Tilting her head up, Rei studied the features of the Senshi of Love. She knew that Minako could feel her gaze on her, and yet the girl still continued to pay more attention to the accursed magazine than to her lover.

Well, Rei knew how to fix that.

Scooting up a bit more so that she was kneeling with her arms now wrapped around slender shoulders and her face pressed into the curve of a neck, Rei spoke.

“Aino-chan?”

“Mmm?”

It was a soft acknowledgement, but it was a sign that she was being listened to.

Rei laid a soft kiss right below the blonde's ear.

“Marry me.”

This achieved the desired effect.

The hand that had been busy turning the pages of the magazine stilled in their motion. Minako's entire body seemed to freeze for a second as the words slowly made their presence known in her mind.

Rei backed up a bit so she could see the blonde as the Senshi of Venus turned her head and stared at her, mouth slightly open, her bright blue eyes wide. She didn't quite seem to be able to believe what she had just heard.

“Rei-ko… Wh-what…?”

Rei grinned, her hand coming up to brush a few strands of long golden hair out of those eyes she loved so much.

“Marry me.”

Another moment of silence passed as Minako continued to stare at her lover.

Then an excited squeal echoed through the room and the blonde launched herself at Rei, her arms wrapping around the smiling Senshi of Fire as they both fell backward onto the couch.

An uninterrupted chant of `yes, yes, I will, yes' emanated from the blonde, and Rei felt her heart swell at the answer.

She made Minako happy and Minako made her happy.

Nothing could be better.
