To others, you may appear to be plain, but to me, you are a beautiful goddess among women. It's the fault of others that they're unable to see your worth, blinded as they are with the idea that anything without a remarkable appearance isn't worth taking a closer look at.
But their opinions aren't mine, and I find in you an amazing miracle, a priceless gem hidden by a simple façade.
For all you have done for me, for my family, I hold you in the highest esteem. And I pray that the heavens will gift you with the rewards you deserve, although I know that you think you don't warrant it.
But I do, and I know that there are others whose lives you've touched that think so too.
It's those others that make me both happy and sad.
Happy...because it shows there are more people who see how special you are, who open up to the possibilities you bring into their lives. I see how more and more people flock to you, drawn by your kindness, and it makes me happy to know that there are more people made cheerful by the warm light of your presence, people who are aware of the gift you're giving them and are grateful by it.
To be surrounded by other kind people who try to give back some of what you've given them rather than taking advantage of your sweetness. That's what you deserve and I feel content with the knowledge that there are others besides me who have your welfare in mind.
But there are two sides to every coin and the happiness I feel is also mirrored by sadness.
Sad...because it means there are that many people who capture your attention, stealing it away little by little. And sometimes I worry that there will be a day when you won't have time for me.
Sad...and a little envious that most of your new gatherers are men older than I and have a much better chance of offering you the protection you need and that I am unable to provide. It's a bittersweet emotion to know that one day, one of those men will declare themselves and do all they can to offer you the life you deserve.
But more than any envy I may feel is my own desire to see you content and safe. To see you happy is all I could ever wish after you have done so much for me. You who have granted my deepest wish and restored full happiness to my own life.
Thank you for being my friend, for ignoring the odd looks garnered when you're with me.
Thank you for bringing happiness to my family once more.
Thank you for restoring my sister's smile.
Thank you for being you.
May I one day be able to grant your wishes as you have granted mine.
Thank you.
Boku no hatsukoi.

AN: "Boku no hatsukoi" means "My first love" in Japanese.
A slightly re-edited re-post, a cross between thinking about childhood crushes and feeling that Megumi wasn't getting enough attention. And I thought it possible that Megumi could have had a tiny crush on Tohru, and that's where this little one-shot drabble came from.
It could happen, right?
