Prompt #25: Caramel Apple
Usagi was lost in her own personal dream world as she and Minako made their way through Rei's school carnival. "Let's go to this booth." Minako said as she pulled Usagi along behind her towards the goldfish booth.
"Okay, we're going. Don't rip my arm off, Minako." Usagi chastised playfully as she walked faster to keep from being dragged everywhere by her friend.
"Excuse me miss." A blond haired boy tapped Usagi on the shoulder as the girls waited patiently for their turn.
"Yes?" Usagi's head tilted, she did not know this young man and wondered if he wanted to cut in front of her.
"A guy told me to give this to you." He pulled a familiar looking jewelry box from his pocket as he glanced around nervously. His eyes avoiding contact with hers'.
"A guy, so this isn't from you?"
"I'm sorry miss; I can't tell you who asked me to. He did say that if you asked to tell you that all would be revealed in due time."
"Thank you." Usagi said as she took the box from his hand and watched him bound away. She wanted to see if he made his way back to her secret admirer but he became lost in the hustle and bustle of the carnival.
"I'm guessing it's another charm for your bracelet." Minako said as she ushered a couple of younger kids in front of her. She was much more interested in her friend's gift than in the booth. "Let's go sit on the bench. We don't want to interrupt the flow of the line."
"Sure." Usagi whispered, when he had approached her she had wondered if the young man was her secret admirer with how nervous he was. Then he told her that everything would be revealed in due time.
She sat down with Minako providing a comforting support beside her and slowly opened the box to smile slightly. Nestled in the box was a smiling caramel apple charm that she had just seen several booths back.
"Usagi-chan, isn't that the…"
"Yes, it is. It's the charm I was admiring at that handcrafted jewelry booth a while ago."
"You realize what this means, don't you?"
"That he was close enough to overhear me gushing about this cute little charm."
"It is so beyond romantic."
"It is but I can't believe he was right there and I didn't see him." Usagi looked around at the people that surrounded them and knew that he was out there somewhere and she had no idea as to his identity.
"Is there a letter?"
"No, not this time but I don't think I need one this time do you? I think this tells me just enough."
"Maybe so but his letters are undeniably romantic."
"Yes they are but I wonder who it could be? Who could possibly love me this much?"
"I don't know but you have a keeper there when you finally do meet him." Minako said as she stood up and watched Usagi clip the newest charm onto her bracelet. "Let's get back to the carnival before Rei says we didn't support her school enough."
An: Can anyone guess who the blond haired young man is?
