PRIDE

you cling desperately to the illusion that you are better than everyone else. Smarter, prettier, more desirable. You are those things, you tell yourself. You HAVE to be. Because if you aren't better than everyone else, how can you ever be their equal? I am good enough, I am good enough, I AM good enough. Am I good enough? If I cannot prove my right to exists, my right to be here, do I even belong here at all?

          hands in his pockets , mamoru surveyed the mess of a post-study session. the apartment had grown silent as one-by-one the senshi had said their fairwells , so that now it was only himself , ami , and a snoring usagi left. he was happy to host , knowing that there was an ease without the fear of parents and guardians overhearing what they should not , but tonight he was almost temped to leave clean-up for tomorrow. no , no. he worked a double before evening class. he would be even more exhausted when he came home tomorrow. so tonight it was. hiding a yawn , mamoru bent down and began to clear the dirty dishes. 

          “ thank you for the offer , ” and though his smile was tired , it did reach his eyes as he looked up at ami. “ but i don’t want to keep you here. i know how hard you worked tonight for your exam tomorrow. ”

Kagome, being the best big sister in the world, was always aware what was going on with her little brother. That included how he was doing in his classes, how he was doing with his soccer team, and most importantly, how he was doing in terms of relationships. And you can bet she was all over the fact Sota had seemed to find a nice girl he was interested in, and like the sister she was, she decided to invite her out to lunch with her so she could see for herself what she was like.

@mercurami​​​ ” ❛ usagi-san? ❜ bluenette blushes holding out present , turning five different shades of red. ❛ I don't know how much you remember but.. today was the day we became friends and I- I just thought. Maybe it's silly but I should really say thank you. And that I'm happy we became friends. ❜ “

UNPROMPTED ASKS

                "Ami-chan!” She gasped, her expression lighting up as she looked at her friend and the gift that was being presented to her. It was unexpected to say the least. But the sight of Ami standing before her, blushing in her shyness and thanking her for just being her friend, made Usagi’s eye prick with tears. 

                Tears of happiness, of course. She carefully, reverently, took the gift and set it down, not even pausing to open it, instead just getting up and enveloping her friend in a patented Tsukino Usagi hug.

                “Ami-chan! You didn’t have to get me anything!” She hugged Ami a little tighter, “I remember everything about that day! You were the first of my most precious friends that I met. And I’m so happy we became friends too. You mean so much to me, I don’t know what I would do without you and everyone else around... I’m so happy that you all came into my life but I’m most happy that you’re here too, Ami-chan. You’re the one I’ve grown the most with and I’m so happy we were able to grow together and become closer.” 

" stop being so -" finish it in my ask.

He wanted to laugh or even smirk just a bit at the statement of the blue haired woman ❝ Oh..I am not being nice. I am just giving you and Zoisite a small push since none of you seem to want to take the first step. ❞ 

Zoisite wasn’t annoying about his feeling for Ami...but it was getting tiring to see him back away every time he got the courage to invite her out.

setsuna  regards  her  with  a  raised  eyebrow.  not  sure  where  exactly  this  was  coming  from.  her  face  remains  neutral  ,  violet  eyes  analyzing  the  other  as  if  trying  to  read  her  &  see  right  through  her  &  search  for  any  ulterior  motive.  ‘  i  don’t  need  an  extra  hand.  ’  she  said. 

Her eyes seem to light up at the offer from Ami, her test anxiety slowly starting to seep out from her core like a weight had been removed. Ami had a big reputation as being the smartest kid in school, someone who was kind and intelligent. She was also a friend of Usagi’s, which made Kagome forming a connection with her all the easier.
