M and M
Chapter One: Something To Talk About
Lyrics/Thoughts
"Hey Mako can I ask you something?" Mina asked as she and Mako sat down at the Crown Arcade.
"Sure Mina, what's on your mind?" Mako smiled at the blonde as she looked over the menu, and waited for Motoki to come and take their order.
"Hey gorgeous." Motoki came and pecked Mina on the cheek. "What will it be girls?"
Mina giggled, "The usual." Motoki nodded and winked at Mako as he walked away.
"You're so lucky Mina, he's totally in love with you."
"I know..." Mina sighed dreamily, "Speaking of love, what's going on with you and Mamo?"
"What?!" Mako exclaimed almost choking on the water she was drinking.
"Well you know, you too have been hanging around each other a lot and people have been starting to talk about the two of you."
"We're just friends, we're both orphans, we've both loved and lost, we just understand each other, that's all. There's nothing going on between Ru and I." Mako explained, trying to hide a blush coming to her cheeks.
"Ru?" Mina raised an inquisitive eyebrow.
Motoki returned with their order and sat down, "So what are the two most beautiful girls in the world talking about?"
"Actually I was just mentioning to Mako about how cozy she and Mamo have gotten over the past couple of months."
Mako turned an even darker shade of red, "Look at the time, I should run." And with that she got up and left.
She walked past a group of college students, "Look there's the girl that Mamoru Chiba's been dating." They whispered in awe as some of them glared enviously.
Mako's blush grew even deeper if at all possible. What the hell was wrong with everyone, she and Mamo were just friends. Just friends she reassured herself, although he does look so cute when he smiles, and his lips look so soft and then there was that dream the other night- No! Just friends.
She was so deep in thought that she wasn't watching where she was going, the next thing she knew she bowled over someone. "Oh my! I'm so sorry!" she immediately apologized.
"Gees Ko, it's nice to see you too!" a very familiar voice joked.
"Mako looked up, "Ru!" she exclaimed, hoping that the blush was gone from her cheeks.
Mamoru stood up, and offered his hand to her, "I was actually just looking for you, I wanted to know if you wanted to go see a movie tonight." He smiled his devastatingly handsome smile that made women weak at the knees.
Mako smiled back at him, completely forgetting anything anyone had mentioned about the two of them being a couple, "Sure Ru, I'd love too"
"Great. I'll swing by around 7, I have to go talk to Motoki, I'll see you later."
Mako nodded and headed off as Mamo watched her disappear around the corner before continuing to the Crown Arcade.
A few hours later Mamo was ringing the doorbell to Mako's apartment, "Come in, I'm almost ready!" she replied through the intercom as she buzzed him in.
Mamo adjusted his green jacket and headed in. He opened her front door and let himself in, taking a seat in her living room on her couch. He looked around the apartment, it was much like his, spotlessly clean. They were both slightly anal retentive and had to have things super neat.
"Ok I'm ready." Mako appeared from her room wearing a tight black tea length skirt and a sugar pink long sleeve shirt that barely clung to her shoulders.
Mamo stared at her for a moment, "How that jerk Freddy ever let you go is beyond me." Mako's smile faltered a bit as Mamo mentally slapped himself.
"Eh, it's his loss." She recovered graciously.
"Shall we?" Mamo led her out.
The two of them walked for a moment in silence, as Mamo thought back to his conversation with Motoki earlier that day.
Flashback
"Hey Motoki, I need to talk to you."
"Sure Mamo, what's up?" Motoki headed to the counter and took a seat next to his best friend.
"I have this problem." Mamo stared at his hands, "And it's about this girl..."
"Mako, uh huh go on..." Motoki stated knowingly.
Mamo turned to face him, "How do you know?"
The blonde laughed, "Come on Mamo, it's obvious! You too have been inseparable for the past couple months."
"So I'm like that with all the girls." Mamo tried to defend himself.
Motoki shook his head, "Nope, not like how you are with Mako, you too I don't know how to describe it, but everyone can see there's something going on between the two of you."
End Flashback
"So like I was saying, I met Josh Hartnett the other day and he asked me to marry him so I'm flying to Vegas tomorrow."
"WHAT?!" Mamo stopped in his tracks and turned Mako to face him.
She laughed, "I was wondering when you were going to start paying attention."
Mamo grinned sheepishly, "Sorry about that, I was just thinking about what Motoki was telling me earlier."
Mako rolled her eyes, "Did he and Mina give you the same speech on how cozy we've become?" She continued walking and didn't notice how nervous Mamo had suddenly become, "I swear, they have entirely too much time on their hands. But it's not only them, it seems that a lot of people think we're together. Isn't that funny?"
"Yea," Mamo half-heartedly laughed, "Funny."
People are talkin, talking 'bout people
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it
They think we're lovers kept under covers
I just ignore it, but they keep saying
"Ya Motoki kept saying that we have an unspoken attraction to one another." She looked at Mamo who just smiled back at her. Sapphire met emerald, "Isn't that crazy." She whispered.
Mamo stepped closer to her, "Ya, crazy."
We laugh just a little too loud
We stand just a little too close
We stare just a little too long
Maybe they're seeing, something we don't, darlin'
"Hey guys what's up!" A bubbly voice broke the two out of their gaze.
"Hey Usa, Seiya." Mako smiled at the couple who had approached them.
Mamo smiled softly at the two, "Hello." He realized that this was the first time that he had seen Usa and Seiya together and didn't feel any type of jealousy or malice towards the man that had stolen Usa from him.
Seiya nodded in response and he and Usa smiled at the picture that Mako and Mamo made together. "Out on a date you two?" Usa grinned as she nudged Mako in the ribs playfully.
Both of them turned pink as they came up with excuses on why they needed to leave. They rushed off quickly leaving Usa and Seiya behind, both laughing. "They need to admit to one another how they feel." Seiya kissed Usa's forhead.
The petite blonde nodded in agreement, "I'm glad that they've both found someone."
"Do you see what I mean!" Mako exclaimed as they walked through the park, a shortcut to the theatre. "Everyone thinks that there's something going on between the two of us!" This time she didn't miss the look of nervousness that flashed across Mamo's handsome face. "Wait, Mamo, what's wrong?"
He shook his head, "Nothing, come on, we better hurry up or we're going to miss the movie." He quickened his steps.
Mako slowly followed behind, Could he- Nah, he couldn't possibly like me... could he? She shook the foolish thought of him having feelings for her from her mind
I feel so foolish, I never noticed
You'd act so nervous, could you be falling for me?
It took a rumor to make me wonder
Now I'm convinced I'm going under
Mako tried to enjoy the movie but she couldn't help thinking about what everyone had been saying to her. The walk home was a quite one, both parties lost in their own thoughts of the other.
Thinking 'bout you every day
Dreaming 'bout you every night
Hoping that you feel the same way
"Well, I had a nice night Ru." Mako smiled nervously at him as they stood outside her door. Ever since she had begun to think of her and him together, she didn't know how to act around him.
"Ya me too, goodnight Ko." He kissed her forehead like he usually did, but this time yearned to kiss her lips. He looked at her lips then into her eyes, asking silently for permission. When her emerald eyes sparkled and she softly licked her lips, he took it as a yes and slowly leaned in, covering her lips with his.
Mako's heart began to pound and she swore she saw stars when his lips touched hers. The kiss was soft, and tender as she hesitantly brought her arms up around his neck. She felt goose bumps on her skin as he responded, by wrapping an arm around her waist, the other caressing her cheek and playing with the strands of her hair. He pulled her closer to him so their bodies were touching and deepened the kiss.
Mamo's left hand lost itself in her mass of silky auburn hair, as his right held her tightly to him. Never had a kiss moved him the way this one was. He smiled as he heard Mako whimper in content as his tongue met hers. When he felt the need to breath he slowly pulled away from her resting his forehead against her. He could feel her chest moving up and down, breathing deeply as was he.
His sapphire eyes studied every inch of her face, she was absolutely exquisite, she slowly opened her eyes, and smiled softly at the sight of his handsome face bathed in the moonlight. "Maybe they weren't so crazy after all." She whispered as she brushed a lock of his hair from his face. Mamoru smiled back at her before claiming her lips once again. He blindly fumbled for the door knob and flung it open, lead her inside and the two fell down on the couch, never breaking contact with one another's lips.
Now that we know it, let's really show it
Let's give them something to talk about
Alrighty, I know I shouldn't start a new story without finishing or updating my other ones first, but I couldn't help it!!! The song belongs to Bonnie Rait. I always thought that Mako and Mamo would make a cute couple and I'm sorry for those of you who disagree, but this is fanfiction, and while I DON'T own the characters, I can make them do whatever I want!!! Insert evil laugh he he he
Well I also thought that since I have your attention that I would plug my c2 Community, which is a tribute to Mako fans, so if you want to join and be a staff memeber let me know I'll send you an invite... if you just want to suscribe that's cool too...
So yea, that's all for now...
My reading recommendation for today is Through a General's Eyes by All For Love
One love,
Athena Kyle
