A Love Triangle Built For Two
Summary: When Mamoru teases Usagi too far and causes her tears, an enraged Endymion loses his patience and takes over him completely, putting a confused Mamoru in the backseat of his own mind. His only goal? Wooing Usagi to make sure they do end up together, to Mamoru's own disbelief. How would this change alter their future and past?
Set in an alternative timeline obviously, first season so no one is aware of their identities. Mamoru knows he is Tuxedo Mask. So far the Sailor count includes Jupiter, Mars and Mercury, only Venus is missing. I will be updating 'Yet To Come' soon. Enjoy this and please do review guys, on what you think of this.
Prologue
Mamoru was sitting at the counter, in his usual place, sipping on his coffee. While he was holding a physics book in his hand, he was stiffened currently. He couldn't seem to relax. Since the morning his day had been in down-right spiral. Throughout his all lectures he had been restless, hardly able to pay attention because he was irritated. Why? Because he hadn't run into a certain blonde this morning. It should bother him that not running into her had him restless, but at the time he was ignoring rationality. Glaring at the clock, wanting for her to bound in so he can see her, have their usual spar to put him at ease. Him not seeing her bothered him. A little too much for his comfort. He was glaring now at the book, the words becoming blurred as he lost his mind. Finally the bells rang, signally someone's arrival.
Immediately he turned around, in lightning speed. He saw the golden haired girl bound in, with the blue haired teen and the brunette following her too. Like clockwork his body relaxed, tension evaporating at her sight. He smiled automatically, although a part of him was rather disturbed that the girl, who he disliked (yes he completely did) had so much power over him. And she didn't even know it. He wasn't even sure why he did.
"Motoki-onii chan hey!" the familiar voice of Usagi rang as she stroll in and stood beside his seat.
Feeling lighter now, he gave her his signature smirk and spoke up.
"Fancy seeing you here so early Odango, guess no detention today?" he spoke while sipping on his own drink, waiting for the sparks to fly. It occurred like clockwork, she immediately looked at him, with her eyes ablaze. Though his smile widened in victory as he had her attention once again. He did not like her bestowing attention on Motoki, he knew she liked him and he didn't like it. He didn't even bother analysing why he didn't like the girl crushing on his best friend. That was a can of worms he wasn't willing to open, shoving it in a dark corner of his mind and throwing away the metaphorical key. Ignorance was bliss.
"Don't you get tired of saying the same line over and over again?" she muttered while looking at him with a scowl. Surprisingly not wailing yet. This caused him to blink in surprise. She rolled her eyes at him and turned back at Motoki, showing him her beautiful smile. A smile he never threw at his path.
"Well I wouldn't if you bothered turning up on time!" he shot back defensively, enjoying this game of verbal tango they seemed to do. He wanted her attention on him once more and not on his best friend, so he added volume in his voice. Thankfully it seemed to have worked as she looked at him once again.
"I'm only late because of you and your brick wall, always turning up in my way like a bad penny! If I didn't run into you then I wouldn't be usually late baka! I had this morning to prove that, when I didn't actually run into you and made it to school at time!" she was completely steamed now, face red and a growl under her breath.
He scowled, not liking the fact that she enjoyed not running into him, while he was having a shitty day because of this.
"Usagi-chan, not today," muttered Ami under her breath as she elbowed her and gave her a signal. At this Usagi composed herself and took a deep breath.
"You're right, I don't have time for this or for you today baka, we got stuff to do!" she announced while clapping her hands, appearing happier suddenly. This reaction caused Mamoru to raise his eyebrows. He was wondering what caused this little bundle of sunshine to be so happy.
"What's going on?" Motoki spoke up for the first time, his eyes appearing curious to see the reason which had Usagi excited. Suffice to say, Mamoru himself was hooked.
"Oh we're having a school dance at this weekend and we are going on shopping spree today, to get dresses for it!" Makoto announced the news, appearing excited herself. This surprised Mamoru as he had never seen the brunette so happy, or show any emotion at all. A week ago she only had scowl on her face. Usagi certainly worked wonders on people. Though his hand tightened on the glass. Dance meant date. So had a teen kid asked Usagi out? A scowl immediately overtook him, anger rising.
"Junior School Dance? How bland," he muttered as anger swirled inside him. Usagi glared at him but then took her glance of him again!
"That sounds good Usagi," Motoki said it with a smile, at which she brightened. Mamoru hated it, he hated that few words from his best friend had her smiling, while she couldn't even stand to be with him, near him.
"Do you have a date to the dance?" Motoki asked the question which had been plaguing him since Usagi mentioned the dance.
"No, we are going as a group, all three of us so we won't be taking any dates," Usagi said it, her smile lessened slightly throughout the sentence but it brightened up at the end.
"Not surprised you couldn't get a date, why would anyone want to go out with a klutz like you anyway…" he muttered under his breath, his temper chaotic at the moment. He looked at her, expecting her anger or wail. But what he got instead horrified and shocked him. Instead of glaring at him in anger, her face fell and tears sprung up in her eyes. He watched in utter bafflement as Usagi turned without another word and ran out of the arcade.
His jaw was on the floor, shocked and horrified by that response. A growl was heard and he saw that Makoto and Ami looked positively livid.
"That was not nice, how dare you say that! She was already miserable that no one asked her, its why we came up with girls only us, going to the dance. But you had to destroy her self-esteem even more didn't you?" Makoto hissed.
Without another word, she turned around and ran out the arcade too, following Usagi's steps, with Ami in her toes. When he looked at Motoki he saw disappointment. He didn't even bother talking to him, only walking away to receive other customers, leaving him alone.
Mamoru let out a growl as he touched his hair. That wasn't supposed to happen. That wasn't right.
"She'd get over it by tomorrow," he told himself that. But yet her teary crystal blue eyes haunted him, peace utterly destroyed now.
It was only then he felt a jolt in his head. A zing as sharp pain rose in him. He clutched his head, in surprise and confusion. Slowly he saw darkness surrounding the edges of his eyesight, as the light started to dim.
'You're a disgrace!' an angry masculine voice hissed inside his mind. A voice that sounded remarkable like his. That was his last thought as he felt himself stumble into darkness, Motoki's scream echoing.
