Author's Notes: A fellow FF author suggested I write drabbles. So I looked up what a drabble was and found out it was a short work of fiction exactly 100 words long (not counting the title). I wondered what I could possibly accomplish in one hundred words and started typing, keeping my eye on the word counter in the bottom left corner of my MS Word window. This is what I accomplished on my first attempt. By the way, if somebody reviews this by writing "It sucks!" fifty times, I won't be amused! ;D - TZM

No. It was the sincere nervous look on the face of the guy holding it and his comically shaking hands that made it so easy to say without hesitation, "Yes, Kyon. I'll marry you."
