This is my set of romance-y Harvest Moon one-shots, flash fanfiction, and drabbles. The alternative title to this first one is Hickey, by the way!

Disclaimer: I don't own Harvest Moon, yada, yada, yada...

Warning: Shojo-ai, Shounen-ai, Hetero, and possible OOC lie beyond these lines... enjoy!

Mary tugged uncomfortably at her collar, trying to hide the hickey that a certain brash farmer had left on her neck. Of course, the library didn't get many visitors, so few people had seen it.

'But...!' Mary thought, crimson flooding her face. 'Manna came in looking for romance novels earlier...' Her face, if possible, grew more flushed. If Manna knew, every one in Mineral Town was sure to know by the next day.

She tugged her braid down, trying to cover the mark on her neck with her black hair. Mary gave up after a little while, sighing embarrassedly and plopping her chin into her hands and gazing quietly at the door.

Said door opened suddenly to reveal an overall-clad farmer holding a jar of Veggie Juice. The blonde was grinning crookedly.

"So, you're going behind my back to wildly make out with Gray on the second floor of the library? My oh my, however did I miss that?"

Mary's cheeks burned and she sputtered. "No... I-I didn-"

Claire couldn't help herself. She burst into laughter, striding over to Mary and setting the Juice on the counter. The farmer girl leaned in closely.

"I guess we'll just have to change your opinion about guys again...?" Claire smirked toothily, and just a bit seductively.
