Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ The Silent Angel ❯ Denying Emotions ( Chapter 3 )

Curses for her speaking too soon. She didn't know where he lived. Well, it was a good thing that he gave her his address whenever they were at the library. She couldn't figure out why…maybe he was thinking about being in times like these. Well, she didn't really mind. It was a good thing to go out and see people once in a while. Besides, it was a beautiful day.

She finished her breakfast and dressed in a skirt and nice shirt. She wanted to give Seiya's brothers a good first impression. She had heard that the tallest was really nice. Usagi would know names later. Then she gathered her books and was pretty soon on her way to the idol's apartment. She did get some stares though. The blonde was baffled, but she didn't pay attention. She had to keep her mind on going to tutor Seiya.

Didn't take too long for her to get there, although her legs were feeling the pain. Not only from that trip, but the other one from the library. She was gaining weight anyways. Besides all that, she went through the doors and greeted the receptionist as she pressed the elevator button. The apartment complex was pretty fancy. Well of course, fit for an idol. In a way she felt out of place. Then again, she would be in and out with Seiya, right?

Usagi knocked on the door lightly and waited a few seconds before it was answered.

"Well hello there. You must be Tsukino Usagi…" A man with light silver hair stated.

"Um, yes. How are you?" She extended her hand.

"Very well. I'm Yaten, pleased to meet you." He took her hand and then stepped aside to open the door wider for her to enter.

She bowed and walked inside the apartment as she looked around in awe. For a small space, it sure was huge. Everything that adorned the place looked really expensive. The chairs, the china, the furniture, even the plastic food for decoration looked to be millions. Looking down at herself, Usagi hoped that she fit the picture.

"Make yourself comfortable. Seiya is cleaning up and he'll be out soon." Yaten offered.

"Thank you." She took off her shoes and walked to the over-stuffed chair and sat. Her hands grasped her book bag tightly, making her palms sweat. It was so nerve-wrecking to be in front of people like Seiya. She knew that they were the kind to judge on looks and to her embarrassment, she didn't look all that great. She just left her hair down and hoped for it not to be totally noticed. Then again, who in the country has hair color like hers? Also her skirt, which was small, showing off her legs that definitely weren't attractive. She should've worn her school-skirt. That one never showed too much.

The phone then rang and she looked over to see Yaten answer it. He nodded a few times and said small sentences before hanging up and turning toward her.

"Miss Tsukino?"

"Yes?"

"I have to go in a minute and Seiya probably won't be out before I leave. Why don't you go wait in his room?"

She blinked a numerous amount of times to get what he said processed through her head. "His room…?"

"Yeah, it's not that bad. He cleaned it this morning…at least I think so. But you shouldn't worry." He chuckled. "He won't mind and it'll be a better learning environment for you."

She looked around and sighed. Usagi wanted to give a good impression of herself and arguing and asking questions wasn't a real good one.

"Well, Ok. Sounds harmless." Blondes were known for being stupid and naïve, right?

Usagi stood right in the middle of the room as she gazed in awe at a man's room. But this was no ordinary man's room, this was Kou Seiya's room. Trophies stood on shelves that never seemed to end. Most of them were for sports while there had some others which he won singing for his career. His room was painted a dark cranberry that sort of gave the room life. His bed wasn't too big, but big enough to probably have his way with women and still have room to roll around. She shuddered and looked around to see maybe if there was a chair in a corner. Nope…no chair. Just more trophies, a dresser and desk. On his desk, there laid scattered sheet music that he undoubtedly wrote.

She heard a sound from the next room and could tell it was probably Seiya finished with his shower. Usagi didn't want him to find her in his room, it was so imprudent. Looking around, she found a hiding spot behind his open bedroom door.

Seiya walked into the room with only a towel to cover his lower body. His hair was down and a little moist, but he tried not to get it wet. Yet his body was still dripping with water. Usagi gulped and blushed at what she saw. His upper torso was thick and muscular. All those years in football, it was enough to get a man in shape. She rubbed her arms as she developed goose bumps from just staring at a beautiful wonder.

But she was about to lose it all once Seiya had made his way to his dresser and the towel came off.

Usagi turned completely into mush. Her hands covered her mouth as she gasped and quickly ran from behind the door into the living room. Although, the door creaked as she pushed it away to give her room and Seiya turned around on instinct. But to her luck, all he saw as a half-open door.

"Usagi?"

She sat straight on the couch with her hands folded tightly on her lap, her eyes widened and staring at the coffee table and her breathing at a slow rate.

"Uh, hello?" He waved his hand in front of her face.

The blonde then blinked and turned toward him. He was completely dressed in a nice shirt and some pants, but yet, she couldn't picture him in it. All she could see was him…naked.

She gulped. "Hi…sorry. I'm just, kind of out of it right now."

He raised an eyebrow. "Ok. Well, hopefully it won't be permanent. When did you get here?"

"Just a few minutes ago."

"Yaten let you in?"

Usagi nodded. "We should get started. I know that you probably have plans and I wouldn't want to ruin them."

Seiya shrugged and sat down next to her. "Nah, I don't plan to do anything today. You can stay as long as you like." His voice turned deep and his smile turned sensual.

She turned beet-red and opened her literature book. "We should get started…"

Step-by-step, she worked with him through every single question. He didn't seem too stupid. But maybe he was trying to show off for all she knew. She hadn't been with a guy in a year or so…or any human for that matter. She had noticed some looks Seiya had been giving her during their study period. Naively, she tried to look the other way and pretend to not know he was looking at her. Well, it wasn't supposed to be anything in emotion. Usagi knew he would rather be eating dirt than studying with her.

She was just so sweet. Her voice, her personality, her eyes. He didn't think he'd fall for a quiet one. But then again, love has a funny way of planning things. Seiya knew that she had a lot of patience and in a way, he felt grateful. She was so mysterious. He wanted to know more about her. The more he saw her, the more he wanted to be with her. The more he wanted to be with her, the more he wanted to deny. Sure, she was nothing to him. But…she was growing on him. He was one to change his mind every minute. He never thought it would be about a girl. A weird one at that. Yet, she didn't seem so weird. Tsukino Usagi was your average teenager. A beautiful one. God, she was so beautiful…

"Usagi…?"

"Yes?"

"I hope this isn't anything too personal…but…" He paused and took a deep breath. "Why are you the way you are?"

She blinked. "What do you mean?"

"Why are you so quiet? Why do you isolate yourself from other people. Why do you not have any friends?" He scooted closer to her and touched her face so that she will look at him. "You're so beautiful. It's so questioning to your personality. I'm sure there are a lot of people who want to be with you."

"You're wrong about that I think." Usagi got chills all down her spine from his touch. Butterflies flew around in her stomach as she looked into the dark sea of his eyes. What was going to happen?

"I…want to be with you." It was hard, but he meant it. Really, it just came out before he could think about it. Where did it come from?

"You don't want to be with me. I know you don't. I'm an outsider, I'll ruin you." She turned away from him and took her face out of his hand. "Believe me, you'll forget about me." Usagi started to gather her books.

"N-no…I wouldn't. I'll be your friend." The words were coming out of nowhere! Why can't he just shut up?

"I'll hurt you. It's best not to know me anymore."
