Foolhardy Determination (Perhaps)

Ami tried to keep her face neutral, while the person opposite her fiddled with what looked like a star-shaped children's toy.

They paused. "What did you think we were going to do?" A feather from the other's star yell fell to the floor. She would have picked it up, returned it so it could be replaced. But then…she'd definitely notice how much her hand was shaking.

What she really couldn't handle was the metaphor; she and the feather could both be easily traded in for better models. But until Taiki took back "aishiteru", long-distance had to be an option.

A.N. There we have it; my very first drabble, my first 100-word drabble, my first one-shot, my first Ami/Taiki one-shot, and my first fanfic written in under half an hour! (Title and author's notes excluded in the word count, of course.)

This is also my first fanfiction on my new account, which I made because I forgot the password to my old one. And in case anyone cares, I forget the username as well, so…y'all are stuck with this account.

Please, leave some feedback and constructive criticism (thought reviews would also be very much appreciated. ^-^ )
