Fleeting Glimpse; Will Schuester(/Emma Pillsbury), 100 words; Rated PG

From time to time, out of the corner of his eye, he'd catch a fleeting glimpse of red hair, and he'd go back to a time when a certain redheaded woman loved him, and in return, he loved her.

That's how he'd ideally put it, anyway; the reality was more that they loved the thoughts of each other, and things hadn't worked out.

Much time had passed, his redhead moved on and away; he, however, stayed behind.

It still hurt, but he looked at every redhead, hoping that one day it'd be his Emma, coming back to him at last.
