Title: Not Cut Out for This

Theme: Love

Word Count: 116

Pairing: Rei/Jadeite

Summary: Rei can't understand love

He was only trying to be nice, she thought trying to find her calm that usually came easier than this. She avoided his eager look as he presented her the bouquet of lilies.

He was always trying so hard to please her, make her happy even if it only managed to cause himself grief. He would always looked like a puppy she kicked when she refused him simple happiness but she couldn't keep going.

Jadeite, she mused, was just trying to gain her forgiveness but she just couldn't help it. She was always hurting him and herself by extension.

"I'm sorry," she said gently, turning away his flowers, "I'm just not cut out for this love thing."
