Ok people, this is a random story that I made up last year but never bothered to write up, so I hope you like it.

The meaning of a Buttercup.

Rei's face ached from all of that 'eye sparkling, looking beautiful, and smiling' stuff. I t was surprising how few people actually knew his name despite how famous he was. H e was commonly known as 'Tala's boy'. He sighed as he entered his room, he thought about Ian's boy and Spencer's boy and Bryan's boy, they all seemed happy enough. But Rei wasn't satisfied with his reflection and he didn't mean this in a vain way. H hated being so god dammed beaut- His thoughts were interrupted as the flower delivery man came in with 6 bunches of lily's all from Tala, 15 bunches of roses in all colours and shades imaginable and a basket of fuchsias from fans, he drew a pale pink rose from its sheath and fingered the petals. He waited until the flower man was gone; he read all of the messages. Rei kicked everything in sight and took out his beyblade and trashed his room including the flowers. He glared at the remaining shreds of the messages. He was sick and tired and not to mention the fact that he HATED being Tala's boy, being paraded for his looks. All the boy wanted was to be loved for being him. Every single one of the messages referred to his beauty. He sat on the bed and wept bitterly for a few minutes until there was a knock at the door and the sound of footsteps hurrying away again. Rei frowned in curiosity as he opened the door. There was no-one there, just an envelope on the floor, he picked it up and took it inside. He closed the door and opened it, inside was a single butterfly and a note saying simply There is more than meets the eye; I see the soul that is inside. He sat in silence for a while just re-reading those words Oh how he craved to see the person who wrote this and to tell them that this buttercup that they had sent him meant more to him than all the other flowers that covered the floor, happily and dreamily he floated to the balcony and looked down at the forest below. He had little knowledge of a pair of blue eyes watching him.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Max so dearly wanted to talk to this boy that it took him all he had not to call out Rei's name and confess his love for him. He looked right were Max was standing, if he had done this 2 minutes earlier he would have seen Max but now he was covered by darkness. Max was holding another buttercup, he looked determinedly at it, and he shoved it into his front pocket and clambered up into the tree. Rei realised some-one else was out there and called to them, "Hello? Is some-one there?" No answer was given until a blonde haired boy appeared on the branch in front of him. He said, "I'm Max" "Hi, I'm Rei" he replied amused and wary, this boy reminded him of the buttercup that he was still holding. "I know" he said as he reached for something deep in his front pocket, he drew out a buttercup, looked shyly into golden eyes and gently said "Snap" pointing to Rei's flower.
