The Gift

Author's Note of Sorts : Hello, this is my first, solid attempt at a fanfic. I am sure that
everyone is aware of all the everpresent, disclaimers and the like. This story, contains
Two of my favourite charecters, Kaiou Michiru and Tenou Haruka. While nothing
ecchi goes on, it is a touch more friendly then most I think. For a basic timeline,
I am going to have it in S., but naturally with my own fabricated events and
such. Hmm, I think that covers all the bases...so on with it....Naturally I encourage
mail, be it flames or comments.~~~~~Michie. ([email protected])


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Michiru sighed sleepily in her bed, she felt comfortable and safe however,
because her love Haruka held her tightly as she slept like she was protecting
her even in sleep. Michiru never found that holding each other while
they slept was cloying, she loved the way Haruka would rest her face in her
wavy aqua locks.

The night was pleasent enough, the moon had just emerged after a light rain. Michiru squirmed carefully, and turned on her side so she was facing her love. She immeadiately smiled when she looked at Haruka's face, asleep she looked like a cherub, gentle and beautiful. Haruka stirred in her dream, Michiru reached out and brushed the golden bangs off of her forehead and kissed her softly. Michiru was too excited to sleep, and decided to wander off into the kitchen, then perhaps check on Hotaru.

"Michiru?" Setsuna murmerd barely above a whisper upon seeing her. " Sets, hello, what are you doing up so late?" Michiru said quietly. "Not fair, I asked first sort of....ahh, I am just working on some things." Setsuna made a sweeping gesture displaying the laptop she was working on, she took off her reading glasses and made a motion towards a coffee carafe. "Now then, why are you awake?" Michiru made a gesture against the coffee. "No thank you, hmm, I couldn't sleep tonight, I imagine it is because I am quite excited-"Setsuna cut her off excitedly. "You are going to show me now aren't you?" she said grabbing both of Michiru's hands. The turquoise-headed
one giggled at her. "Yes, Yes." she delved her hands into the pocket of her dressing gown, she pulled out a small velvet ring box.
"I can't stand it! Show me already." the older girl had practically squealed.
Michiru opened the box, it revealed a gold ring with a solitaire cut aquamarine
stone...The ring was gorgeous and shone brightly by the light of the Setsuna's laptop.
" My goddess, Michiru." she breathed out. "She'll be...oh! It's lovely Michiru."
The girl smiled, looking upon the ring she had comissioned as a symbol for
the one she loved.
" The gold, I chose because she loves it so, the aquamarine, I chose..." a light
blush came to her cheeks. "So she will think of me when she looks at it."
"Mich, no wonder you cannot sleep, don't worry, she will adore it, how
could she not." Setsuna put her hand on Michiru's shoulder and smiled.
"You have a big day tommorow,ne. So I think you should attempt at sleep."
" I should go check on Hotaru first though-" again the girl was interrupted
by the elder.
" Really, just run along to bed, I will go see to her." Michiru nodded in
agreement and thanks. She closed the ringbox and put it back gingerly into her pocket
as she walked into their bedroom.

Haruka was sitting up on the corner of the bed, cracking her neck and yawning.
"Haru?" addressing the tall blonde softly.
"I couldn't sleep as well." Haruka nodded at her, patting mattress to her. Michiru
walked over and sat next to her, immeadiately resting her head on Haruka's
shoulder.
"Actually, when I rolled over and couldn't feel you , I woke up." she
grinned to herself.
After a few quiet moments of rest, the girls said eachother's name aloud. Haruka smiled at Michiru, they both laughed lightly at their urgencey. Haruka decided she would be the one to speak first.

"You know how I said a had a surprise for you, that you err, had to wait until tommorow for?" Michiru was looking up into her eyes and nodded.
She was about to say something, but Haruka silenced her, by touching her index finger to her soft lips, then bent down and kissed her ligthly.
" I love you so much,dear. I don't know how to begin...." Haruka blushed, and stammered. She couldn't remeber all she had wanted to express to the beautiful young girl looking up at her so earnestly.

"Haru, love." Michiru laced her hands with Haruka's and looked down at their meshed hands. "I love your hands, they are so strong and...."
"Michiru." Haruka, leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, and reached into the pocket of her pajama pants. She tenderly stroked Michiru's left hand, taking it in the both of hers. Then with a fluid motion Haruka opened the box and slid a ring onto her's above the band that herself, Michiru and Setsuna all wore in promise of Hotaru.

Michiru looked at the ring transfixed...it seemed the moonlight had fled into the room for everything seemed so brilliant at the moment. The ring was a solitaire, not unlike the one she planned on giving Haruka, but it was platinum and the stone was a deep sapphire. Michiru gasped in blissful surprise and held fast to Haruka, almost in tears. Haruka laughed a deep laugh that held lightly in the air.

Before any reply was given or asked for, Michiru delved into the pocket of her
dressing gown and opened the velvet ring box. Haruka looked down, watching her
graceful simple gestures, when she realized, that Michiru had the same gift for her, her heart ached. Haruka immeadiately thrust forth her hand, Michiru brought it up to her lips, and kissed the flat of her hand, then slid the gold solitaire ring with the beautiful aquamarine onto her ring finger.

They smiled at one another, and held close, it was perhaps that the use of words would have spoiled the moment. The rings were more than just gifts to each other, they were symbols of their love, and a reminder of their love. The two girls entwined their hands and kissed each other softly, knowing that the simple gesture would speak
volumes of words, that perhaps would not hold the same if spoken aloud.
