He chuckled mirthlessly. "I overthink a lot."
She nodded at him in the 'No shit' way and he snorted out one more dying chortle. "Oh, I know," she said.
He exhaled, curled his hand around hers fully. "You say you're not like Serenity."
She nodded. "Because I'm really not."
He shook his head. "I completely disagree."
Her brows furrowed cutely in her frown.
He shrugged at her. "Sure," he said, "you don't have the kind of regal training and grace that was drilled into Serenity from the first second she could walk and talk. But Serenity was the same."
She shook her head, but he tugged at her hand lest she get ideas to withdraw, and stroked his thumb across it, watching as it swirled around the soft skin there. "You're exactly the same," he whispered to her hand. "The complexity. The only difference was that it was more apparent for me from the start with her… I didn't put her into a box when really I could have as easily. But there you were, this heiress of the Silver Millennium, the weight of an empire on her shoulders and a life she never wanted and she stuck out her tongue and rolled her eyes and kicked mud at me and smiled at a sunrise as if it made you happier than anyone had ever been about anything in the whole world."
He looked up, and her face was much, much closer.
"I'm…" he said, whispered, hushed… "I can't put into words the way that makes me…" want you. Keep you. Love you. Please.
He trailed off and didn't say anymore. But Usagi's eyes stared daggers into him.
"I really wanted today to be a date," she blurted, and then flushed.
His eyes flew back to hers.
"When I called you. I tried so hard to ask you out," she confessed, her face flushing with heat. "I really tried. But… that wasn't like, butterflies. That was… painful, paralyzing, carnivorous pterodactyls eating at my insides."
He snorted.
She huffed. "Don't make fun of me," she pouted.
He gripped her hand tighter. "Really, I'm not," he promised.
"Just…" she sighed. "How do you ask someone out who you remember dying with? Twice? Someone who died because of you? Someone you remember bringing down kingdoms with, someone you remember insulting in the streets because you didn't recognize him? Someone who didn't look at you twice except to tell you you eat too much and talk too much and aren't like a lady? Someone who didn't seem to want you back at all?"
He flinched.
"How do you go up to reborn ancient royalty you got HISTORY with and not just of the shoe throwing kind and just... ask them out?"
Oh.
So… so, she felt it too… She felt all of it, too.
He exhaled slowly, his heart on his tongue.
And there was some sort of magic at work here, he was pretty sure. How all it finally took for making it so easy was that it be brought out in the open how very difficult it felt.
"Would you…" he started - heart pounding, mouth too dry, finally. "Would you like to go out with me, Usako?"
She exhaled breathlessly and smiled. And then she nodded.
And wow… so this was how it was really supposed to feel like.
