oh dear
-word count: 328
-prompt: 'hero'
-summary: She loves him for all the small things, imperfections and what not.
Sophie tapped her finger absentmindedly, staring into the oblivion of colourful flowers around her. Today was a quiet day for the shop, and she had already tended to everything important, three times and over. As she sat, her mind began to wander, and her vision blurred, focusing on sound instead. There was an absence of noise in the shop today, as Howl was out today being an 'important' mage of the court.
"Pft, as if." she thought sardonically.
The ever 'important' mage, Howl, was certainly no important mage, and much less the hero of a story.
"No, that man is a coward, a womanizer, a child-at-heart, a narcissist, and, and-" She stopped herself on that train of thought, deciding it would be silly to get angry on such a fine day. But her thoughts travelled back to everything and all thats past, wondering why she still loved him for all that he was and wasn't.
"It's the small things." She thought immediately, answering her own question.
It's the way he makes sure to kiss her awake every morning (even if it never does it's job).
It's the way he makes sure she is never bored or unhappy (even if it's just so she won't begin cleaning up the house again).
It's the way how he always creates silly spells for everything (even if it's that spell that keeps Sophie away from his personal bathroom).
It's the way his laughter chimes through the whole house (even if the laughter is about her).
And it's the way how the ring on her finger shines in the daylight glow (even if he bought a different one just so it was as flashy as his clothes).
A doorbell suddenly rung, waking her up from her day dream. Automatically, she walked up to greet the customer.
For all of Howl's imperfections and what not, she was sure she would love him more than any hero every girl dreamed of in their life time.
"I think I'll remind him I love him tonight." She thought, as she made her way to a bouquet of purple lilies.
