Lyssa was telling me how someone needed to write a fic on 
the little conversational hearts that are given out on V-day and so 
I was thought 'hey!  I'm someone!' so yeah, I consulted Jade (my 
muse) and ta-da!  Instant fic!  I hope you guys like!


Conversational Hearts by Eternal Angel
A fic challenge by Sailor Elysia


A bittersweet memory
Of someone so beautiful
Makes me want to cry


	Beautiful brazen cherry blossoms had slowly peered out 
from the trees as springs neared, beckoning a strange feeling 
within him.  Only to find himself empty once again as the short-
lived feeling passed.  Today was the sacred day of lovers and 
family, the days when the blossoming of true love over shined the 
beauty of the beautiful blossoms.

	He sighed, as he sat in his booth, a large box of candy 
hearts in his hands.  He forgot who had given it to him, only that 
it was given to a mass amount of people at the same time.  He 
shrugged, not wanting to feel the banging sensation at the fact 
that he was not special enough to be thought of when the gift 
bearer bought the candy … but what did he expect?  He wasn't 
someone that people sought out for …

	The soft chiming of the bells touched his ears as he watched 
the blonde come in, her beautiful blue eyes looking, searching … 
Twin dumplings on her head as she smiled cheerfully.  He found 
himself warm at the sight of the beautiful blonde. 

	He slowly took a candied heart out of the box, as he read 
the message.  

	BE TRUE 

	He frowned at the message, as he couldn't help but wonder, 
be true to what?  The thought continued to haunt him as he 
plopped the bland tasting candy into his mouth, slowly chewing it, 
his eyes staring at the beautiful figure once again.

	MORE

	He frowned at the next message, confused at the painted 
white letters on the pinkish heart.  He sighed, a bang of longing 
within him arising as his mind drifted again, back to her.  She 
was always loved, was she not?  He could be that on this day she 
would receive dozens of gifts, roses, pure and beautiful as her 
with chocolate that was as sweet as her…

	CALL ME
	
	…call me what?  Lonely?  Lonesome?  He found himself 
slowly becoming consumed with self-pity for himself only to turn 
it into disgust.  Only weak people pitied themselves … 

	But he couldn't help but admit to himself that he was weak.

	His head begun to spin as he couldn't help but wonder how 
these candy hearts seemed to be able to captivate him as they 
said lonesome words that struck the very core.

	He glanced at her again, as she sat down, chattering with 
everyone easily.  She turned around, her gaze meeting his own 
as she let out a smile.
 
	UR KIND

	He could feel the beating of his own heart increase as he 
found himself in a staring match, finding the blueness of her eyes 
so vividly beautiful and captivating.  He couldn't help but find a 
part of him that he was always missing within her, deeply woven 
into the very core of her, waiting to be freed.  He took a deep 
breath, wanting, waiting, for something, anything …

	But instead she turned around, laughing at a comment made 
by one of her friends.

	I'M SURE

	But he wasn't, he wasn't at all.  Uncertainty groped him as 
he couldn't help but find her fathom blue eyes haunt him, 
taunting him as his heart continued to ache as he wished with all 
his might for something he knew would never come true …

	BE MINE 

		A single wish he sought to be granted.

	MY LOVE

		Constant wanting, wishing … A single hope that maybe, 
just maybe one day the wish would come true …

	FOREVER

		But the only thing his mind could do is laugh and retort 
how it would be never ever.   

	Longing, hoping, a companion he had found so dear to him 
during these times, trying to consoling him, to comforting him …

		…but how do you comfort a person who doesn't want to 
be comforted?

	YOU AND ME

		A future that will never exist.
	
	MARRY ME

			A dream that will never be fulfilled.

	SWEETHEART 

	 			Love naught but the simple dream…

	"Miss?"  A voice called from behind her, as she turned 
around, her shimmering blonde hair whipping the air as she 
stared at the waitress.  She grinned at her.
	
	"Yes?"  

	The waitress smiled back as she handed her a napkin?  She 
raised her eyebrow as the waitress shrugged.  "A man in the back 
booth wanted me to give you this."

	After thanking the lady, she opened up the napkin, as a 
small candy heart tumbled out of it.  The message on the heart 
screamed within her mind as she turned around, searching for 
the figure that was already so far gone …

	I LOVE YOU.

Lost on my lips
Is a single plea of love
Never spoken
Always thought
