Dear Mamoru:

I'm never actually going to send this letter to you, but I still feel like I have to write it.  Chances are, even if I sent it to you, you'd probably only casually read it and toss it aside anyway – you just seem that confident and that smug.  I'm not going to lie, I find myself envious of that aspect of you.  The way you can look at her and just know she was, is, and always will be yours.  I don't think you know how good you have it, but then again most people don't until it's gone (as they say).

I never really got to hear your side of the story.  I know now that it wasn't a callous heartlessness that kept you silent for those many months while tear-filled, anguished blue eyes pined for the smallest message from you.  Even knowing the truth, I still can't really see or understand why she remains so dedicated to you.  I find it offensive: the idea of a fate or a destiny from some past life defining a love forever.

She's enamored with you, though.  I think she always will be.

There's no way I can compare to that, is there? Sure I'm confident and good looking. (Actually, I think I'm much more attractive than you are.) But it seems like that string of fate is just too strong for her to break.  It's probably not even fair for me to want to break it.  Everyone around you two seems to believe so strongly in it. I feel like even if I had the chance to break it, they'd all come rushing in and find a way to strip me out and mend whatever I had accomplished.

I'm fooling myself anyway with that sort of thinking.  I actually tried to break those bonds. I really tried with all my heart.  Is she that naïve? Could she really be that oblivious to my deepest feelings after all I did for her, after all the things I said?

I keep thinking back to the roof top. I wish those girls had never come up.  That would've been the moment, if there ever was one.  I could feel that thin little ribbon of fate slipping from her finger that day.  She doubted you and it was all there on her face and in her tears.  If only I could've said one more thing before they ruined it all.  I wanted to take her head in my hands, kiss her forehead and pull her close to me.

Don't let me be modest – I've held her close many times.  I'm sure you're jealous.  Actually, you probably don't care.  Like I said, what do you have to worry about anyway? I can't even believe I'm wasting my time on this crap.

You know what? Nevermind.
I really just felt like writing something today and I didn't feel like working on any of my stories so I spewed this out in a Word Doc.

I'm firmly pro-Usagi/Mamoru but I just LOVE unrequited love stories and I love Seiya as a character. I think there's just so much awesome emotion there.

Yay letter rage quit! :dummy:
