Summary: Miki doesn't understand why she's not happy.
Warnings: it might come off as whiny, but that's it
Notes: I wrote this the moment I saw the prompt. I haven't written in this canon for awhile, hoping I can get back into it. Well enjoy!

I have the perfect life! A modeling career that’s not stopping anytime soon, a hot husband, and more money than I know what to do with. There’s nothing wrong with my life, then how come I’m not happy? I mean, it doesn’t make any sense. I have everything I ever wanted even the husband I dreamed of, but then I look at my sister Tsukino. She doesn’t have the money or the friends or husband and she looks happier. Way happier than I’ve seen her in a while.

I don’t get it! She works at an office job, goes to conventions, collect these silly little models with her husband, and she has no problem with that. Her best friends have careers--one is an artist while her sister is a doctor and the other works in business--but they hang out more than me and my friends. Then there is her husband, her goofy husband that would do anything for her. I haven’t seen mine in so long. He’s off on another meeting somewhere, but sends me things though, so I guess that’s okay.

Though there’s something I can’t stop thinking about. My husband doesn’t look at me the way Tsukino’s husband looks at her. It’s nothing bad, it’s just, he looks so lovingly at her even when she’s not wearing any makeup. I know they have been married for awhile now then why does he look at her like they’re still dating? She doesn’t even sell her silly little fashion scribbles and she’s okay with that!

I don’t understand it. My sister is so happy.

I have everything I ever wanted, more than my sister does.

Then why am I not happy?

Aw, I actually feel a little sorry for Miki in this. Is it possible she might be starting to grow up a little bit and realize there is more to life than the latest accessories and looking hot?

[blossomdreams]

She's starting to grow up little by little as she spends more time with Tsukino. It's happening slowly, but it's happening. Things really change after her niece is born, but I'll touch up on that later.

Thank you!

...I actually feel bad for Miki. Weird.

[blossomdreams]

Yeah I felt bad for her too. I like to think this is a sign that Miki is starting to grow up. Hopefully this growth with continue.

Thank you!
