Usagi... When you are free can I talk to you about something in person?

[Minako was just finishing off a performance, so she knew she had the time to be able to do it.]

[Usagi blinks when she gets the message but almost instantly replies. Wondering what's up.]

Ah, yeah, of course! I always have time for you whenever and wherever Mina-chan!

Great! I should be home within ten minutes. Might stop off to grab snacks along the way.

[Because it only just dawned on her she might not have eaten, so best to deal with that when nerves were a thing.]

So I will meet you at home then, okay? [She was already on the move at least, going to the plac she needed to in order to acquire some snacks.]

Ah yeah, of course! I'll make us some iced peach oolong tea, yeah? See you in a bit, Mina-chan!

[Minako had gone to grab a few things, mostly sweet treats from a bakery before finally returning home.]

I am home~

[She went to put the treats onto the nearby table before looking over.]

Welcome home! I'm in the kitchen!

[Usagi set the glasses down, picking up the pitcher.] Perfect timing cause I just finished steeping the tea!

I seem to be the master of good timing.

[She had gone to make sure to place what she had down. It was mostly cake which was always a good thing.]

Might go with what I brought while I tell you something... Don't worry... It's not bad, I promise.

Oh uh, sure! What's up? [Despite Minako saying it wasn't bad, Usagi couldn't help a bit of trepidation. But she'd do her best to remain and stay positive.]

[Once she was sure that the items were safely on the table she found herself pausing for a moment. Taking a small deep breath she soon spoke up.]

Well... You know how you want us all to follow our dreams here and we are, obviously. But I feel like I need to tell you that while I am doing that... if for any reason I have to drop everything; working as an idol even love. I will. I know that you will argue against that but... I am here to explain why for once.

[She had gone to make sure the cake was out and placed onto plates before going to take a seat.]

[She opens her mouth, but then closes it, letting Minako speak and get whatever it was she wanted to say out. She gave a small nod, knowing it would probably be best to just let her keep going.]

I... of course, Mina-chan. Whatever you need to say.

Alright...

[She takes a small breath, nervous for sure, but she knew after the advice she had been given this was really the best cause for action. To gain an understanding of how she might act.]

As you know before you awoke, I was around as Sailor V. One situation I had to deal with was someone called Danburite. He... was someone who when I met him was known as Phantom Ace and saved me a couple of times. I had grown to like them before I knew who they were and... I had to kill them with my own hands.

[She gave a small smile, a little bit forced as she soon carried on.]

Before he vanished he told me something... a love fortune he called it. The fortune was that my love will never be granted for all eternity. My fate is to battle on. To fulfill my duty which is to protect you. [At that her smile brightens up a little bit.]

I don't regret my choices and I will never be bitter because that is what I was born to do. You still might not understand, but I figured that you should at least knew and see why I make the choices I do or say what I might.

[Her brows knitted together as she listened. Yes, she knew, Sailor V was not only one of her favorite mangas but video games. She had (and still does) idolized Minako and all the amazing things she accomplished. But she didn't know the Phantom Ace or that he had saved Minako only for her to have to kill him.

At the mention of the love fortune, her eyes widened. Minako was cursed to protect her? To never be granted love?]

You... you don't feel cursed by what he said? Minako-chan, if I ever- I'm so sorry, I don't- that is, I'm happy you want to be with me, I love you and adore you, but- that doesn't sound like a very good fortune.

No. I think if he had cursed me he would have outright stated it.

[She could only smile at that briefly. The thought of being cursed was rather amusing for the most part. But she thinks she understood why it was said. Things just never changed.]

I think it was more he knew what I was like in the past and so my actions and choices would be very much the same. I always picked my job over love, even if I did fall for someone.

[She looked down at her hands. Trying to figure out what to make of this, what to make of Minako's confession. Minako said she would always pick her above all else, above anyone she ever falls in love with. She loves Minako too, Minako is one of her most precious people and her best friend.

She bit her lip as she looked up.]

Are... are you happy with your choice, Mina-chan? [Because in the end, that was the most important thing of all, right? Some people didn't want love over duty and vice versa, who was Usagi to tell Minako how to prioritize anything in her life like that.] Because... I'll support your decision, any decision, if it means you're truly happy. So... does choosing duty over love make you happy?

[She found herself pausing for a moment. She knew she had made the choice, but she never honestly thought about if it truly made her happy. It didn't make her sad either to have to give something up, but a part of her wondered if maybe that was because she figured love was to never come her way anyway.

To never expect it made it easier at least. So with a small smile she at least knew how to answer.]

Of course, I am. I mean there is always a possibility of change, but honestly, I am not sad about it never possibly happening. I mean after all, you are someone I love too. A different kind of love, but it's the same.

I love you too, with so much of my heart, Mina-chan, I hope you know that. [She set down her food and hugged the other girl tight and close.]

No matter what, right? We're always gonna be best friends.

[Minako smiled slightly. She was at least glad about that as she held the other. No matter what happened she could at least count on that.]

No matter what we will always be the best of friends. It would be weird at this point if we stopped being friends.

[She kept a tight hug on Minako, closing her eyes.]

There is one thing I'm glad about, being destined is all, is that our fates were always intertwined and I'll get to be with you in every life.

Exactly! That is something that will never change. That's why I have so much confidence that we will always be friends.

[And also because it would be extremely weird otherwise. But they have been through enough to know that if that didn't stop it then nothing really can change that.]

But hey, we should eat dont you think?
