[The irony was, Usagi wasn't always like this. She used to be 14 and only care about eating, sleeping, reading manga, making friends, and playing video games. She had complained ALL. THE. TIME. about being a superhero and demanding to know why SHE had to do it, why couldn't someone else.
But then she met the girls, Luna, Mamoru. She met people from across the very universe itself because of her powers and abilities.
And... yes, she had a whole bunch of trauma thanks to it too. She had to be the one to deal with it because she was the one who had the ability to. What did that say about her, having endless powers only to be like "nah" and letting those who sought to hurt and harm her home take control.
If you HAVE the ability to do something, you SHOULD do something, even if that meant putting your life on the line. It was no different than people who already did it, firefighters and coastguard and the sort.
There's something, maybe the words he says, maybe the way he holds her, honestly, she can't tell and she doesn't know.
But the pressure valve breaks.
She can't hold back the tears she had been so gallantly trying to reign in.
The flood gates were open, the waves of sobbing crashed against everything, and Varian was the only place for safe harbor.
She had cried and cried and cried, who knew how long, and who cared?
She held onto him as tight as her exhausted arms could manage. The house shook with the power she was tapping down on, even in this form. Because she could well level the whole damn place in one fell swoop.
He feared the moon, and in a roundabout way, her because of how it destroyed so much of his home, and he was right to fear it, in a way, even if she hated that he did, even though she knew he wasn't wrong. She could be terrifying, not just because of October which had seen to showing everyone that. She was powerful, she was dangerous, she was very likely the monster in the tales of some of her enemy's bedtime stories. She was the other side to Chaos. But that did not make her any less terrifying.
For a moment, her crescent moon appeared on her brow, willing to answer her heart's sorrow.
But instead, she screamed.
She would apologize to his eardrums later.
It was... unclear how long she just LET herself be caught up in her sorrow and anger and fear and exhaustion, how TIRED she was of doing exactly that, throwing herself against the rocks when all she wanted was to live in peace.
She very nearly fell asleep with her head on his shoulder in her exhaustion when the screaming and sobbing subsided.
Usagi was trembling as she tried to catch her breath, her forehead still resting on Varian's shoulder and she was struggling to do much else but exist in that moment.]
