Prompted Oneshots

by The Duelist's Heiress

A series of oneshots written from some prompts I found on LJ. My Forty-Third Oneshot: "Those five letters are hers to you." Her fingers rest on the very edge of the envelope. "In that box are all of yours to her." Her eyes stay focused on the box. "Yours." Her gaze slowly shifts towards the letter on the table. "Hers." Her eyes drift to her own hands, clenched lightly. "Not mine."

26. Smile

DH AN: This is another poem I wrote for a Creative writing class. This can either be read as Mhera reflecting on Marik's genuine smile or Mokuba doing the same with Kaiba. Enjoy.

Smile

What is it about the face that I love most?

When a genuine smile crosses that face

It is such a rare treat, one that I have yet to get used to completely

In combination with genuine laughter, sun shines through the darkest day

Nothing could ruin the expression just as nothing could ruin the moment

Nothing could ruin a smile on that face

It has a place where nothing was before

And nothing will ever be

It has always been there

Buried under years of a straight face

And I hope it stays in its newly found place
