Disclaimer: MKR is a rightful property of CLAMP and Kodansha and various other companies, I don't own them, the song is by Nina (You might not know her) and I also don't own it. The idea for the fic was also taken from the music video of Foolish Heart... Yes, yes I know, I shouldn't have but I couldn't help it~!! It's just too sweet; anyways of course it showcases my favorite pairings, Fuu/Ferio of course, and maybe some hints of Ascot/Umi, and some Hikaru/Lantis.

Author's Note: I think the lyrics are just right for this specific ficcie, hope you enjoy it. This is to make up for not updating lately my fic 'Things Are Not As They Seem' I'm really having a horrible writer's block and I'm currently preoccupied with my Yami no Matsuei fic, so please be patient. This goes to everyone who had been faithfully reviewing my other MKR fic. This is rather short (only about five chapters), but I hope you like it. I made this chapter longer than the other one, although there isn't much difference^^;;

I've learned to thank my dear reviewers so why would this be any different^^

***Momentum: Thank you very much for the compliment, it's appreciated, and thanks again for being the first reviewer.

***Kyaa-Kyaff: Thank you very much; I'm very glad that you like my style of writing and thanks for reviewing.

Fuu gazed at the small rose bud she was fingering. "Red Rose buds... they're supposed to symbolized loveliness and purity." Fuu let out a sigh the amber-eyed costumer still inhabiting her thoughts with his smile, and those orbs.

I need a love that's strong

I'm so tired of being alone

But will my lonely heart

Play the part

Of the fool again, before I begin

A day had passed and she was now dressed in a simple cream-colored blouse with a simple, but very beautiful design of sakura blossoms, and a plain denim skirt that ended below her lower knees, and a pair of low pristine white sandals. Her hair was now free to fall down her shoulders, her green orbs still framed with the same glasses.

Her crystal pendant hanging from her neck, and her gold and silver-plated watch, from her right wrist was a pair of identical green and white Swarovski bracelets. (A/N: I actually don't know why I get into such detail when I described their clothes. If this bothers anyone please tell me.)

Letting out another sigh for practically the umpteenth time, she closed her eyes, and took in the smell of the flowers that surrounded her. It always made her feel calm and relaxed, and then there was the familiar clatter of the door, followed by the unmistakable bubbly voice that Fuu had came to know ever since.

"Hikaru-chan~!! What a pleasant surprise~!! What brings you here?"

Hikaru returned her soft polite smile, with an energetic grin that never failed to brighten one's day. She was dressed in a simple summer dress the color of light pink. Her hair was tied in its usual manner of a thin braid running across her back, her long unruly bangs falling across her fiery scarlet eyes, and she was wearing a straw hat (it had a pink ribbon around it) to protect her from the sun's rays. The only jewelry she was wearing was a simple choker.

"HI, Fuu-chan~!! How are you?"

"I'm fine, Hikaru-chan, anything I can help you with?"

Hikaru's cheeks were quickly tainted with a pink color, that matched her dress, "Well, you see I, well I have-"

Fuu blinked, quizzically Hikaru was unlike anyone she had known, completely innocent at heart, and would never fail to cheer anyone up. And it was one of those rare occasions when she was blushing. Fuu sighed, like any other girl, Hikaru was thinking of a boy.

She sighed, she didn't know why but Hikaru and Umi always went to her when they had problems pertaining to their love lives, she didn't know why but for one thing she didn't even have a love life of her own.

"You know Hikaru if this has got something to do with Lantis-kun-"

"How did you know~?!" Fuu couldn't help but giggle at her expression, it was priceless, "My dear Hikaru-chan I've known you long enough not to know what you are thinking of, so what would you want to express for him now. But honestly Hikaru-chan I've never imagined you would for someone so quiet and secretive like him. He's your complete opposite."

Hikaru let an un-Hikaru-like pout cross her lips, "Fuu-chan not you too~!! Umi practically told me the same thing~~!!"

Fuu giggled again, it was so much fun to be of company to the strong-willed girl. "Yes, I know you love him. And I will help you."

Hikaru let out a triumphant cry, and hugged Fuu tightly who was sitting in the other side of the counter.

"Thanks Fuu-chan~~!!"

Fuu beamed at her best friend who was now holding a bouquet of daisies. Fuu smiled at the thought, when she first told Hikaru that daisies symbolized a lot of things, which were, innocence, loyal love, purity and gentle love. It suited her.

Fuu let out a sigh, and now the familiar yet alien golden orbs was back in her mind. Shaking her head vigorously she decided to ignore her thoughts. Then there was the clatter of the bell, and Fuu brightened up a bit. At least there was something to distract her with, but to her utter surprise the same person standing there by the doorframe was the mysterious amber- eyed man.

"Konnichiwa." He smiled sweetly, a glint in his golden orbs, Fuu couldn't help but panic as she felt blood rushing to her cheeks. "K-Konnichiwa. I'm glad you returned." It was absolutely true. She was glad to see him again.

The man smiled at her and was now looking at some carnations, "My nee-chan absolutely loved the flowers~!! I'd like to purchase some more, I'd like to ask your opinion you seem to know a lot about them." He winked at her, which made her already rapid pulse quicken.

"I'd be obliged to help you in anyway I can."

"Thanks... Umm how this yellow carnations, they remind me of her hair." Fuu shook her head ignoring the blush creeping down her cheeks, "Yellow carnations means rejection and disappointment."

Fuu watched, amused as the man quickly jumped away from the carnations and was now looking at some violets.

"Err... How about, well I don't know please help me, umm..."

Fuu smiled the scarlet color disappeared from her cheeks, and her eyes were now closed happily, "Houoji Fuu, but you can call me Fuu. I'd like to help you" The man looked at her gratefully, "You can just call me Ferio, umm... I'd like to hear your opinion."

Fuu smiled, "What would you like to express towards your sister this time?" Ferio became thoughtful for a while, and sighed, "Can't think of anything~!! Umm, how about I appreciate everything she's done for me?"

Fuu smiled, "That's a wonderful idea. How about some Camellias they express gratitude and perfection. I'm sure your sister simply portrays such a quality, Ferio-san."

Ferio grinned at her, "Just call me Ferio, and thanks again~!!" He laid down his credit card down at the counter, and for a moment their fingers brushed lightly against each other. The color returned to her cheeks, and her pulse was racing. Ferio blinked, "Is anything the matter, you looked flush." He cocked his head inquisitively making him look even cuter^^

"N-no, it's nothing, it must be the heat."

"Okay."

"I'll fix your order, please wait for a while."

"Sure I'll just look around."

Sighing she tuck some of her stray hair behind her ear, and got to work, although she couldn't help but smile fondly about every single thing.
