Hello! It's me again...sorry for being on hiatus for so long, is not that I don't like writing but, well, you get the idea.

Anyway here's my newest idea: Pistrinum! (The title may change, please leave any ideas below), the idea came while I was re-watching Futago Hime (and getting mad by the lack of subs for Gyu!). The main pairing is Fine/Shade, but I'll obviously include others as well.

As always, English is not my native language so feel free to correct my grammar. Reviews are more than welcome!


The heat that day was atrocious, it had prevented any client to stop by the Fushigiboshi Market, much less stop by the little pastry shop called Moon Kingdom. As if that wasn't bad already, the AC had broken down the day before and because of that most of the employees had called sick.

Shade Taranath, son of the owner and therefore the only employe working that day, sighed by his own bad luck. A fifteen year old shouldn't be wasting his precious youth in such way, he should be spending time with his friends, doing homework or trying to impress that cute bluenette who worked part time in the Sunny Florist. Instead he was leaning on the counter trying not to die from dehydration.

-"I wonder what Rein is doing"- Shade sighed. Rein Gisli was the daughter of the owners of the Sunny Florist and went to the same school as Shade did since elementary; at some point Shade discovered that his feelings for the bluenette were romantic and the rest was history, but being the loner he was, Shade hadn't been able to strike a conversation that didn't involve the Fushigiboshi Market.

-"May I ask what is the reason for sighing so much?"- asked Bright Diamond as he entered to the shop. Bright was the heir of the Jewel Boutique in the market and also function as Shade's best friend. But even his best friend didn't know the little crush that Shade had on Rein. And he had no intention of telling a soul, Bright was way to popular for his own benefit.

-"The heat"- answered Shade lazily. It wasn't a lie, right? -"What are you doing here?"-

-"I came to get some advice, actually"- said Bright, not bothering to hide his blush -"Romance Advice"-

-"The Prince has come for love advice? That's a new"- joked the pastry boy.

-"It's my first love...she returned to Fushigiboshi after a long time"- muttered Bright shyly -"The daughter of the Gisli's..."-

Shade's heart stopped for a second and he stopped hearing or reasoning after the news his best friend dropped. It couldn't be possible, it couldn't be happening to him. Not at this time, definitely not after what he heard weeks ago...

A few days before summer vacation started, Shade had forgotten a book in the homeroom and was about to enter to the room when he heard some girls talking. One of the girls was no other than Rein Gisli.

-"Summer is finally here, so we should step our game"- the first girl was Altezza, the little sister of Bright, no doubt about it.

-"Step what game?"- asked a shy voice, she was probably Mirlo, another girl from the market and member of the arts club

-"Not you, Mirlo, you don't have a crush after all"- said Altezza, sounding as if she ignored Mirlo -"I'm talking about Rein and me!"-

That had surprised Shade, and his thoughts blended with the choir of girls screaming -"Rein has a crush?!"-

The bluenette took some time to answer, obviously being embarrassed from the amount of attention and the topic itself -"Yes, it's...Bright"-

If Shade's heart had sinked at that moment, it had already been destroyed right now, Bright (The most popular guy in their grade) had a crush on Rein, who was head-over-heels for him. Way to go, fate.

Bright was still talking about his crush and how they met, but Shade couldn't hear anything at all, he was more worried about how this could affect their friendship, so he didn't fully realized when Bright left the shop with his face beet red.

-"What am I gonna do now?"- he muttered. Maybe it would have been better if there were clients to distract his mind from his inevitable failure, it would have been easier. But there was no one on their right minds who would have dared to appear on a store that didn't have AC by mere pleasure.

Or so he thought until the doorbell rang symbolizing the entry of a costumer.

Shade wanted to ask what the freaking hell was doing a girl his age in the store; she looked around and admired every corner. Her red twin tails bounced at every movement she made and her choice of clothes made it obvious that she had travel from a far place.

-"A tourist, most likely"- thought Shade without trying too much and quickly lost interest in the girl. That's until said girl was moving her hand right in front of him to catch her attention.

-"Hello? You there?"- said the girl with nothing but pure inocence -"Hey, I want to order!"-

-"What?"- the boy cut her -"What do you want?"-

The girl was clearly shocked by the rudeness, but quicly put it aside and started smiling -"I want one piece of everything!"-

-"Excuse me?"-

-"One piece of everything, please!"'-

-"Are you serious?"- asked Shade again.

-"I'm always serious when it's about food"- answered the girl with determination.

Shade was confused, he had never met someone with such an appetite, except perhaps for his little sister Milky. But at least the shop would have some earnings that day. -"Please take a sit, I'll take your order to the table"-

-"Oh it's okay, I can do it myself"-

-"It's my job"- answered Shade casually. With that, the girl seemed to let him and when her order arrived, she started eating as if there was no tomorrow.

-"You eat too much for someone your size"- commented the boy.

-"I get that a lot"- laughed the girl -"But man! This are the best sweets I've ever eaten!"-

-"Then you must not travel a lot"- said Shade -"Or haven't gone to other pastry shop in the city"-

-"Actually no"- commented the girl -"I've been living on the countryside for the last 10 years with my grandma, so this is my first time here since I was six"-

-"What about your parents?"-

-"They live here, that's why I got to know this pastry shop"- the girl ate another cake as she spoke -"But they went to the countryside during vacations to see how was my health, now that I'm cured, I can live with them again!"-

-"Is it okay to tell all this stuff to a complete stanger?"- realized Shade.

-"What's your name?"- asked the girl finishing the cake, after seeing the tag the boy owned, she quickly corrected herself -"Shade? That's a cute name, I'm Fine!"- the girl cleaned the table by piling up the emptu dishes -"Now we're not strangers anymore!"-

That was the brightest smile Shade had ever seen, if that hadn't been the worst day of his life, he most likely would have been admiring it longer. However, it did stroked an aura of deja vu, as if they had met before which couldn't be possible, it may have been that the girl resembled Rein a lot.

-"Your recipt"- Shade gave her the little paper and waited for the money -"Have a good night"-

Fine looked a bit disappointed by the idea of leaving, probably because of the absence of sweets, but returned to her bouncy personality in a second -"Have a good night, Shade!"

Later on, when Shade closed the shop and went upstairs to his family apartment, the news Bright told him were still on his mind.

-"You're back"- his mother, Moon, received him -"How was your day?"-

-"Slow until late evening when a girl ordered one piece of everything"- answered the teenager.

-"What? Oh my, Milky, it looks like you have a rival!"- laughed the woman while carrying a baby girl in her arms.

-"How are you feeling Milky?"- asked Shade.

-"Oh, she's fine now, she just ate way too much, right?"-

-"I'm glad"- smiled Shade.


That night, after dinner, Fine was looking through the window of her bedroom.

-"What a mysterious guy...that Shade..."- she muttered -"It would be nice if I could see him again"-

A second after that sentence left her lips, her twin sister entered to the bedroom, not noticing the confused red haired girl or her blush.

-"Fine! Let's go to the Water Kingdom! It's the public bath that Mirlo's family runs!"-

-"Awesome! Let's go, Rein!"- as the girls left the house, Fine broke the upbeat silence -"Say, Rein, what was the name of the boy you like?"-

Rein's face blushed -"Why...Why do you ask, Fine?...It's Bright"- then, as if trying to change the subject, Rein added -"By the way, Fine, tomorrow we will have a meeting with the people who work here, it should be the best opportunity to present yourself! Wanna go?"-

-"Sure!"-
