He Loves Her,He Loves Her Not

[+Lady Miki+]

Okay,this isn't a rant for a change,(even though I can assure you that you haven't seen the last of one of them),just my opinion about the Molly+Nephlite relationship.There are some people out there
who think that he had been using her the WHOLE TIME.Quite frankly,
I think they either hadn't watch the episodes,or were wearing earplugs or something.
I mean,sure,he did and said some things that implied that he was just using her,but in the last two episodes(Molly's Folly and A Friend In Wolf's Clothing),you can pinpoint evidence that he did at least care about her even if he didn't love her romantically.Heck,he saved Molly
without looking out for himself.And also,even HE knew he was growing fond of Molly,but didn't understand the feeling.All he knew that he was going soft.Personally,I don't think everything Nephlite told Molly was a lie.I mean,he's very truthful for one skilled at lying.I believe he loved her as a companion,but I believe that it would've grown deeper if Zoisite hadn't ended it all.So that's how it's being portrayed in my fics.

It would be very easy to go with either decision. Personally I like to think he started to have feelings for her at the end. I mean his final words to Molly in the English was "I just want you to know you're in my heart." Does that sound like someone who uses young girls? Evil people can learn to change and change for the better.

But at the same time, up to the last two eps, he did use her a lot and more or less played on her crush...taking advantage of a young girl and that is something that happens everyday, more so on the internet and than out in public. When you look at the evil side of him he does look like he could do that especially if his heart didn't start second guessing.

So both reasons can work, I guess it's the person's opinion on how they like or dislike about the general. But I will always believe he was falling for her, it just took him awhile and probably if he lived he would have pulled completely away from the Negaverse. He probably wouldn't help Sailor Moon but he also wouldn't allow Molly to be hurt.
