Another chappy from my collection of one-shots that are Y/Z orientated. No yaoi this time.

Anyways, besides fiction I do a lot of drawings for this challange and will post the link to where you can find all of them on my profile since posting them here tends to mess up (darn this little short one-shot brought to you by yours truly.


They were beautiful, far more so than I expected. I was in awe of their splendor, their grace... the sheer majesty of them.

I was jealous, no matter how long I'd been with my own... no matter how clumsy he was with his... none of it mattered because his were greater. I scolded him about being flashy, being a show off... but the truth always shone in my eyes.

He of course knew this emotion well, after all he had seen it everyday of his life. At first I thought he'd act petulant, finally having one up on me after all... but he just showed hurt. I had hurt him with my jealousy... because he had showed me them thinking I would be impressed, might have given him a kind word of praise.

He desired praise like a starving man desired food, and I gave him hate...

Now I felt ashamed. Ashamed and embarrassed, and I apologize but I've already hurt him, and I can see how even now, even smiling, he wants to cry.
