“Oh, Usagi, I’m so sorry.” Ami brushed the wetness from her eyes before it could run down her cheek.
“It’s okay. Like he said, I’m not really losing him this time since he was only present in my dreams.” She took a deep breath and drew on the composure she’d been developing since waking from the dream. She giggled lightly. “It was a little weird that he gave me permission to see other guys though. I suppose I’ll have to move on now; he took away my last excuse.”
“I suppose so.” Ami was so impressed with Usagi, how well she was taking Mamoru’s dream departure considering how hard she’d been hit by his death. Maybe it was time for Ami to be that mature and let her impossible love go too.
“It still sucks, though. I’m emotionally available for the first time in years, and the only guy I can think about is in another galaxy.” Usagi shook her head sadly. “Do you think I’m subconsciously willing my own self-destruction by thinking about Seiya? What’s your professional opinion, doctor?” Ami laughed half-heartedly at her friend’s attempt to lighten her situation.
“I don’t know, Usagi. I suppose your brain is finally sorting through the thoughts you stored away when he was here: thoughts you didn’t think you were allowed to have because of Mamoru. Maybe they’ll clear up on their own after awhile.”
“Hm, I guess you could be right.” The blonde played with a strand of her hair, pondering. “Do you ever think about them, the Starlights? I mean, when I’m not bringing them up?”
Ami cursed herself for the blush that leapt into her cheeks. She’d vowed to herself never to think about it if she could help it, never to think about him. And she’d vowed once more never to admit her feelings to any of her friends. It wasn’t like there was anything that they could do about it other than tease her. Usagi watched as her friend’s emotions warred on her face, surprised and little worried about the reaction her simple question had produced. She reached out, tentatively and placed her hand on her shy friend’s.
“Ami, if you don’t want to talk about it, I completely understand. I probably understand better than anyone. But, you should consider taking your own advice. If you tell me, maybe I can help you, or at least it might make you feel better. And I won’t tell anyone else if you don’t want me to.”
Ami’s eyes widened at the thought of releasing the feelings she’d kept hidden for so long. It scared her to think about admitting them to anyone. But Usagi was right, and Ami hated feeling like a hypocrite. She took a deep breath, and dropped her gaze to the table cloth on the restaurant table where their half-eaten lunch was sitting.
“Yes, I think about them…more than I should.”
“More than you should?” Ami bit her lip, still unsure whether or not she wanted to share her feelings, but she’d kept them in so long, and Usagi’s words about Seiya were like a red hot poker stirring the simmering embers of her heart.
“Oh, Usagi, I know exactly how you feel. That it’s ridiculous to be thinking about him when he’s so far away and he’s been gone so long and he probably won’t ever come back and he probably doesn’t think about me at all anyway. And I’ve told myself to get over it and to grow up so many times, but I just can help it. I just can’t help thinking about him.” Usagi was stunned at Ami’s torrential outpouring of emotion.
“About him? Him who?”
“Taiki.” The light bulb went on in Usagi’s head. Of course! Taiki and Ami were both highly intelligent and calm individuals, not to mention Sailor Scouts. They were very well suited for each other. Her heartache doubled as the futility of her friend’s emotion was added to her own.
“Oh, Ami,” Usagi sniffled, but would not allow herself to cry. She’d cried enough to last a lifetime, three lifetimes. “What are we going to do?”
“I don’t know. I don’t think there’s anything we can do."
“Yes, there is. We can be confidantes.” Usagi put on a brave face and tried to bring back her earlier composure with some success. “Since we’re both in the same situation we can talk and complain to each other whenever the mood strikes. That way you can keep from accidentally blurting it out in front of the other scouts, and I can keep my resolution not to whine about it all the time and annoy the other girls.” Ami smiled timidly.
“I was sort of a ticking time bomb, wasn’t I? And it does feel good to talk about it.”
“Then it’s settled. When thinking about Seiya makes me want to tear out my hair, I’ll call you.”
“And when I can’t stop from daydreaming about Taiki, I’ll call you.” The two girls smiled and shook hands.
