Emblems and Petals

He smiles when she's happy. Her happiness is what matters most to him, even if he's not the one to cause that joy, because, as focused as he is on training, as intent as he is on becoming stronger, stronger, she has become his top priority.

"Sakura-san?"

The lotus blossom rests in the palms of his hands. It is a picture of perfection, large, white, intricate, beautiful. She can tell that he has been looking for it all morning. His fingers are blue and his nose is red, but his eyes are wide and hopeful.

"Yes, Lee-san?"

The cherry blossoms that adorn her figure and perfume the air invade his senses and he can tell that she has been training all morning. Her skin is flushed and sweat lines her brow, but that just makes her all the more beautiful to him.

The chill of the winter morning affects them both in horribly wonderful ways.

"You..." Is it time? "I think..." It's so perfect. He's even got her attention. "You're training well." But no. Not yet.

She smiles as the lotus slides from his hands to hers. At the same moment, a few light pink petals drift from her shoulder and brush across his cheek before dancing carelessly off into the sunlight.

"Thanks."

She couldn't imagine what he'd really wanted to say.

"Would you like to join me?"

The sudden, unexpected invitation caused his heart to back track for a moment to replay the words and confirmed that, yes, she really did ask him to train with her.

"I would be honored, Sakura-san!"

He smiles when she's happy because her happiness is what matters most to him, even if he's not the one to cause that joy. But... just maybe... he will be able to make her smile on his own after all.


There exists a melody
That might just change your mind
If only I knew the key
To sing and make you mine
