IF A PICTURE PAINTS A THOUSAND WORDS 5 A Sailor Moon Sekkushiaru Roman, Based (Rather Loosely) On a Story In Moonlight Lady by Sailor Mac "Guess what we did this past weekend?" You can hear Leanne halfway across the schoolyard. Molly and I look up from our lunches to where she's sitting under a tree, surrounded by her buddies. "Here we go again," I say. "Another long list of all the wild things she and that boyfriend of hers did. . ." "Do you think she really does all those things?" Molly says. "Who knows?" I reply. "But whether or not she does. . .I don't want to hear about it?" But we can't help hearing about it. Leanne's voice is as loud and brassy as a trombone. "We watched a hentai video together!" she bellows. "Ooh, wow!" one of her friends says. "What happened in it?" "Okay. First of all, there was this girl in her bedroom alone, and she was thinking about her boyfriend, and she was playing with herself. . ." I hope Molly doesn't notice me blushing. That makes me think of when I had first met Tuxedo Mask, before I knew that he and Darien were one and the same. I used to think about him all the time, and sometimes, I would. . . "Ooh, boy!" one of Leanne's friends is saying. "Then, what happened?" "Her boyfriend came in unexpectedly. . .they hadn't really slept together at that point. . .and he saw what she was doing to herself. So he decided to give her for real what she'd been fantasizing about. He took off his clothes and then he turned her around and pushed her so her top half was on the bed and her butt was sticking up in the air, and then he got behind her and stuck his dick in her. . ." What would Darien have done, I thought, if he had come across me doing that back then? Would he have taken me on the spot? Or would he have thought I was hentai and not wanted anything to do with me? "And then, after that, the next scene was two girls together. . ." "I've heard enough," Molly says, getting up and throwing away her bags and wrappers. I do the same. "Come on, let's go inside." But as we go back to school, the question continues to burn in my head. . .was what I did to myself hentai? And what would Darien think about it if he knew? * * * He and I meet up after school, and we go to Crown Cafe. He gets a big platter of French fries, which we split. I'm still thinking about the hentai video which Leanne watched. I slowly drag a French fry into a puddle of ketchup, swirling it around and around. "Meatball Head," he says, "you've got something on your mind." "Who, me? No, nothing. Everything's fine." "Then why are you playing with those French fries instead of plowing through them?" I let out a big sigh. "I. . .I can't talk about it." "Why? You know you can tell me anything." "Anything. . .you mean, *anything*?" "Cross my heart." "I still can't talk about it here. Maybe later." When we're done eating, we go for a walk in the park. I don't really want to tell him here, either. . .I'd rather wait until we're in his apartment. But he's saying, "Serena, why don't we go sit on the banks of the rowing pond over there. There's nobody around. And we can talk." "Um, okay, but. . .I don't know if I can talk about this in a public place." "Serena. . .what *is* it that's bothering you? Is it something to do with our sex life?" We reach the banks, and I sit down. He sits across from me. "No. . .well, sort of. . ." "Do you. . .think you're pregnant?" "Gods, no! It's, well. . ." I take a deep breath. "Before I knew you were the same person as Tuxedo Mask, I used to think about you a lot. . .as Tuxedo Mask, I mean. And I used to imagine that you and I were, you know. . .and when I did, I'd. . ." I can't even get the words out. He takes my hands in his. "I understand, sweetheart." "And today, that bigmouth Leanne was talking about a hentai video she was watching where a girl was doing that to herself, and it made me feel, well. . .dirty." "Oh, Serena." He reaches over and hugs me. "It is most definitely *not* dirty. It's a very normal, natural, human thing. Everyone's done it. Including me." "You did?" "When you were nothing but a vision that haunted my dreams, I would think of you, and imagine you with me. And then, because you *weren't* with me, I'd handle the situation as best I could." He smiles. "Darien. . .if you had come into my bedroom and found me doing that, what would you have done?" "Well, I would have been surprised at first, I'm sure. But then I'd sit on the bed and ease your fingers away and put my own there, and I'd make you come. Then, afterwards, we'd sit together and have a talk about our relationship, about whether you truly felt ready to go all the way or if you wanted to take it slower." I sigh and lean over so my head is resting on his chest. "Sometimes I wish that it *had* happened that way. . .me losing my virginity, I mean." "But the way it happened was beautiful. You healed me. I can't even remember what it was that caused my pain, so that means my healing was complete." I bring my lips to his, and we kiss sweetly.When we break apart, I whisper, "Darien, sometimes. . .I still do that when we're not together. I miss you so much. . ." "Me too, Meatball Head. Me too." We stand up, and he says, "Come on, honey, I've got to get you home." When we get to my house, there's nobody there. There's a note from my mother on the refrigerator: "Serena: Your father's working a bit late tonight. I've gone to Aunt Marie's and I'm picking up takeout on the way home. I'll be home around 7. Your brother said he'd be at the arcade. Mom." I look at the clock. It's 4:30. We have more than two hours. When I turn and look at him, he's got a big smile on his face. We're both thinking the same thing. He takes me in his arms and kisses me. "Well, love," he says, "your place or mine?" "We might as well stay right here." I kiss him again, letting my tongue caress his, then suddenly break away and head for the stairs. "Race ya!" "I bet I'll get there first, you little minx!" I run up the stairs as fast as I can, dash into my bedroom and lock the door. I yank off my clothes and drape them over a chair as I hear him knocking. "Sereeeena," he calls with a teasing note in his voice. "Come out, come out wherever you are." "Hmm, maybe I don't want to come out. Maybe you should come in?" I unlock the door and jump onto the bed, scrambling under the covers so only my "meatballs" are sticking out. I hear him come in, and then he says, "What a pity. . .I don't see anyone here. Just a couple of fuzzballs somebody left on the bed. And just when I was in the mood to hold a beautiful, naked minx in my arms and kiss every inch of her." Ooh, *that* sent a shudder through me! I wriggle a little bit, but stay under the covers. "Yep, I wanted to run my fingers over her sweet little breasts over and over, and then suck them. . ." I can hear the sound of his clothes being dropped to the floor, piece by piece. . . "and then move down lower, and put my mouth on her. . ." Now my heart is throbbing. I wriggle a little more, and feel my hardened, sensitive nipples brushing the top sheet, which only makes the heat that's consuming me increase. "But, I guess I can't do that. There's no person here, just a couple of fuzzballs. So I think I'll be going." I slide myself up so my eyes are peeking out from under the covers. Hmm, he *is* naked, and beautifully so. He notices me. "Ah, what's this? It seems there *is* somebody in there, after all." "Wanna join me?" I say. "Don't mind if I do." He takes the sheet, flings it back, and brings his mouth down on mine. As we kiss, his tongue moving in and out of my mouth, I let my hand slide down his body and grasp his manhood. "Mmm," he says between kisses, "*somebody's* an eager little minx." "I wonder who it could be?" I caress and stroke it, and he leans back his head and moans as I kiss his neck. "Aahh, baby," he whispers, then pushes me so I'm flat on my back. I let go of him, and he brings his mouth straight to my breast, starting to suck hungrily. I groan, opening my legs wide for his probing fingers as he switches his mouth from one breast to the other and back again. Ohh, that feels sooo good, Darien, I think as he slips them inside me. No matter how good it felt when I'd do that to myself, it feels fifty times better when you do it. He takes his mouth and hand away, only to kiss his way down my stomach. When he gets between my legs, instead of starting to lick where I want him to, he shifts his mouth so he's kissing up and down my thigh. I let out a loud moan. "Please. . .oh, please, darling. . ." "Please what, Serena?" "Do it. . .oh, Gods, Darien, put your mouth there. . ." He opens my legs wider and puts his face between them, and I feel his tongue slide inside me. "AAAHHH!!" I cry, arching my hips upward. He begins to thrust it in and out, and I clutch at the sheet, moaning, my head rolling from side to side. When he moves up and starts to lick at my "sweet spot," the pleasure intensifies. I feel a fire growing down below, moving up through my belly, ready to explode all over my body and engulf me. He begins to suck it, and the explosion comes. I let out a shriek, my hips rising off the bed as I shudder again and again. He doesn't let up. He kisses his way back up again, and I feel him at my breast, his tongue flicking over and over on a nipple, then encircling it, then flicking over it again. The heat is building up in me all over again. He licks and sucks the other nipple, until I'm moaning his name. He pulls away from me just long enough to get out a condom and put it on, then sits back against the headboard, his arms open to me. I straddle him and push down on his manhood, feeling it enter me. I start to pump, getting faster and faster, and I open my eyes and look at his face. His eyes are closed, his lips parted and puckered slightly in an expression of bliss. Gods, he's so beautiful like that. . . I lean forward a bit and thrust faster and harder, and suddenly the tsunami is breaking over me again, and I'm crying out his name as hot ecstasy screams through my veins. I sag against him. He kisses me tenderly. He still needs release. . . "Darien," I say, "I want to try something." "What, love?" "In the hentai video Leanne was talking about, she said the girl leaned over with her butt in the air and the guy got behind her and went inside her from behind. . ." "I don't know, sweetheart. . .that position's usually a lot more pleasurable for the guy than the girl. It doesn't stimulate her much where she needs to be stimulated. But if you want to try it, there's something I can do. . ." He guides me into a position where I'm on my knees, then leans me over so my head and forearms are resting comfortably on the pillows. He kneels behind me and grasps my buttocks, and I feel him thrust deeply into my womanhood - *very* deeply. He kisses my shoulders, my neck, then begins a steady thrusting, while he reaches down and around so his fingers are caressing my jewel. I find myself moaning again, my hips moving in time to his thrusting and caressing. "Da. . .Da. . .DARIEN!!!" I cry as I feel the pleasure bursting through me again, and then I hear him cry out behind me, and feel him thrusting hard as he climaxes. I fall forward, flat on my stomach. I hear a rustle as he wraps the used condom in several tissues to be dealt with later - Gods forbid my parents find that - and then he gently turns me over so we're facing each other, and he kisses my lips softly. "I love you, Darien," I say. "I love you too," he replies. He reaches behind me, grabs my alarm clock, and sets it so we can get a short nap before my mother comes home. He puts his arms around me, and I eagerly snuggle into his embrace. I feel a lot better now. What I did with myself, and what he did with himself, was not dirty or hentai. . .just an expression of our longing for each other when we're apart. But it *is* just a pale shadow of the magic that happens when we're together. AUTHOR'S NOTES: Finally, I was able to do another "If a Picture Paints a Thousand Words"! (Special thanks to eBay, whom without this story wouldn't have been possible!) Watch for another edition in the series coming up in the near future, an edition with a twist. . .the lovers in it are *not* Serena and Darien. (And not Haruka and Michuru, either.) Thanks to Mark, Sonya, Yohann, Galos, Kenton and Jeffrey. . .the IM RP gang! Also thanks to Artemis and Luna, Sailor November, and everyone everywhere who keeps believing in the Miracle Romance. Standard Sailor Moon disclaimers apply. These characters ain't mine, I'm just borrowing them for a little while.
