Author Notes: This chapter takes place later in the season but before they go to the Marine Cathredral and find the Tailisman, around episode 95 the dating show.


The room was dimly lit the only light coming from several candles around the room also giving off a faint scent of strawberries and cream. Today wasn't anything special it wasn't their anniversary or someone's birthday, Haruka had just decided to surprise Michiru and was in a romantic mood. The couple occupied the bed at the moment, Haruka was lying on top of her lover kissing her neck as their nude forms pressed together. Her right hand was between them caressing Michiru while rocking her hips forward. The violinist let out a series of low moans sounding more like a quiet mew as she felt her toes curl and her back lift off the bed pressing her closer to Haruka. Several weeks ago when they shared their first kiss Michiru had wondered if Haruka was a good lover it turned out she wasn't just a good lover but that instead she was an amazing lover. Whenever they made love Michiru felt like she was taken to heaven or like she was becoming a part of Haruka. She grabbed Haruka's shoulder pulling the blonde tighter to her her fingers clinching into Haruka's flesh leaving several small red marks behind. She could feel her whole body was tense knowing she was close. Haruka pulled away from kissing her neck to look into Michiru's blue eyes letting her know she was there as well. The racer sped up her pace thrusting her fingers into Michiru and grinded harder until Michiru let out a pleasure filled scream that seemed to echo through their appartment. Haruka fell into her resting her head in the nook of Michiru's neck catching her breath slowing feeling her loosen her grip on her shoulders knowing Michiru had left a few scratches. "I love you." Haruka said pressing a kiss behind Michiru's ear then laying there her breath tickling the hair on the violinist's neck.


There was a brief pause the only sound in the room was their breathing as they both caught their breath then Michiru paused and took a deep breath before she said. "Haruka... I..." She breathed in again then continued, "Haruka that was amazing." Michiru closed her eyes glad Haruka wasn't looking at her. She knew what the blonde was hoping she would say and it wasn't the words that had left her mouth. Already she could feel her lover tense up showing her disaproval.


The blonde let out a disappointed sigh then rolled off of Michiru letting the green haired girl curl into her but other then that she hardly responded. "Good night Michiru." Haruka said then closed her eyes. How many times was this now? She had lost count a while ago and each time the outcome was the same. Each time Michiru refused to say it and each time Haruka was left disappointed. The blonde was really starting to wonder why she had't said it and why she always avoided the subject.


Michiru looked up at her lover a frown on her face. She leaned up jolting Haruka as she did until she hovered above Haruka's face and pressed a kiss to her lips. "What you did tonight was really sweet. Thank you." She hoped with a few nice words and a stolen kiss or two she could distracted Haruka but a small part inside her knew it wasn't possible even still she leaned into Haruka nibbling lightly at her neck.


"It wasn't that much." She gruffly said barely opening her eyes not wanting to look at Michiru. She was disappointed now but it bordered an anger, she was angry Michiru refused to give her what she wanted. No, not what she wanted what she needed. What hurt more is that Haruka couldn't figure out why Michiru wouldn't do it. She could see no reason that would stop her over the last couple of months they had become so close and knew everything about the other. They even would have won that dating contest if they hadn't of withdrawn.


"Ruka, what's wrong?" Michiru asked as she pulled away from Haruka's neck and glanced down at her while brushing her hand on Haruka's cheek feeling her jerk making her regret that she asked the question. She knew what was bothering her lover and it was something she had been avoiding for a while. She didn't know how to tell Haruka or even how she would react. Perhaps fear held her back but whatever the reason avoidance was easier then confession even if she knew she wouldn't be able to avoid it much longer. Haruka wouldn't wait much longer, and when Haruka wouldn't wait any longer would she be able to say it or would she loose the blonde?


"Nothing." Haruka started to say then changed her mind, she hadn't said anything yet letting Michiru take her time and not forcing her but she couldn't take it anymore she wanted to know why. There had to be a reason and even though several of the reasons she could think of scared her she still had to know. "We've been together a couple months maybe it is too soon but I've said it so many times to you and you've never said it."


"Haruka you know how I feel about you." Michiru said pressing another kiss to Haruka's lips. She traced her left hand down to her chest then circled her finger around Haruka's breast eliciting a mew from the blonde. "Maybe I need to show you?" She flicked Haruka's nipple then resumed circling her finger around it knowing Haruka's breasts were very sensitive and it was the quickest way to arouse Haruka.


"Michiru..." Haruka said feeling herself becoming aroused again then quickly grabbed Michiru's hand. "No, Michiru I don't want you to show me I want to hear you tell me. I love you. Can't you just say it? Or would it be a lie if you did?" Haruka pleaded with her lover. She had never directly asked her but her need to hear it out weighed anything else. She needed to know the answer no matter what it was.


Michiru closed her eyes squeezing them shut for a moment. "It wouldn't be a lie." She said barely above a whisper.


"Then say it. Please Michiru tell me how you feel." Haruka pleaded. She knew Michiru felt the same as she did but a part of her demanded to hear Michiru say it. To give her feelings a voice.


"I can't." Michiru said tears forming in her eyes.


"Why?" Haruka said not realizing she also had tears in her eyes.


"Because I am afraid." Michiru said still hovering above Haruka feeling her arms begin to shake.


Haruka looked up at her lover then cupped her cheeks in both hands. "Afraid? Michiru what are you afraid of?"


"I am afraid that if I say it then it is real." Michiru said leaning into Haruka's hands. There she said what she was feeling now all she could do was wait and see if Haruka accepted her reasoning.


"Michi, baby what is wrong with what we have being real?" Haruka said pulling Michiru down for a kiss gently stroking circles on her cheeks with her thumbs.


"If it is real and I lose you to the Silence. I... Don't know if I could go on without you. But if I don't say it then maybe it wouldn't feel real and it wouldn't hurt as much." Michiru said letting her arms give out and fall into Haruka. She knew Haruka wouldn't be the one to fall there was no way that could happen to the magnificent Sailor Uranus but just in case she couldn't take that risk. Just the thought of not having Haruka made her heart quake.


The blonde held Michiru in her arms rubbing her hands across her back. She thought about what Michiru said, how she thought if she didn't confess her love then it wouldn't hurt as much if the worst happened. Part of her wished that was true but it couldn't be. They were just words she would still feel the same. "Michiru." Haruka quietly said.


She lifted her head up looking at Haruka her eyes red hardly noticing Haruka's eyes were also red, she only focused on those green eyes that could take her breath away. "Please Haruka don't ask me to say it. I do Haruka but I can't say it. I can't take that risk. You know stopping the Silence is more important the any of us."


Haruka was really starting to hate that excuse the Silence was always there stopping them from being together or from being a normal young couple in love. Sometime Haruka just wished there was no Silence and they were both two normal teenage girls. But without the Silence they would have never meet. If there was no Silence would Michiru had even give her a second glance? Haruka was quiet for several minutes before kissing Michiru on the cheek. "Alright I won't ask anymore. It's late we should get some sleep we have class in the morning."


Michiru nodded then rested her head on Haruka's shoulder closing her eyes briefly before opening them again. "Haruka."


"Yeah?" The blonde said shifting a little to be more comfortable. Michiru still was lying on her but was smaller and not really a bother. Haruka actually kinda like her being that close.


"Are you sure you are okay with this?" Michiru asked.


"Honestly," Haruka said finally opening her eyes. "I'm not okay with it. My girlfriend tells me she loves me but won't actually say that she does. How am I supposed to feel about that?"


"Haruka," Michiru said but Haruka stopped her.


"Let me finish. I 'm not alright with it but I love you so I'll find a way to be okay with it." Haruka said kissing her. "I want to hear you say it but I don't want to lose you. So I guess I am okay with it."


"Haruka." Michiru said her voice cracking. She wanted so much to to tell Haruka to kiss her and repeat it until her voice was raw but she couldn't let go of her fear.


"No more discussion." Haruka said hugging her. She still wanted to hear Michiru confess her love but she would do anything for Michiru and wouldn't press Michiru anymore. "I won't ask you anymore. You'll say it when you are ready."
