Notes: I really haven't posted for this since I first started the story. Well, I suddenly got a few ideas for this. The next one is about Shun and June, and is mostly fluffy, but I also have a cute one planned for Shunrei and Shiryuu, and another, kind of funny one for Miho and Seiya.
Anyway, please leave a review if you can. I have NO inspiration to update stories if people don't tell me they like them. Not trying to garner reviews, just stating. Thankies!
Daisies
"Shun?" began June. She sat cross-legged under a very large tree near Sanctuary.
"Hmm?" the Andromeda Saint, who was lying on his back on the grass with his head resting on June's knee, replied lazily.
"You're amazing." Shun laughed.
"Really? Why the sudden compliments? Is there something you want me to do for you?" June swatted at her childhood friend.
"Can't I just tell you you're amazing because you are?" Shun laughed, placing his hands behind his head.
"I'm not really, you know. You just think so because you're biased in my favor."
"Probably. But I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks so."
"Who else?"
"Your brother?"
"No, he thinks I'm a crybaby who needs his help much too often." June gave a short, shocked laugh.
"What?"
"Really."
"Your brother loves you, Shun! You mean more to him than anything!" Shun chuckled.
"Ah, but that doesn't change his impression of me. I'm fairly sure he doesn't think I'm terribly amazing. A decent Saint, maybe."
"Well, what about your friends? You've saved them all before, haven't you?"
"I think they know me as being a gentle-hearted, loyal, and powerful Saint, who can occasionally accomplish miracles with them. But not amazing." June laughed.
"Why, Shun, you underestimate yourself. Doesn't Athena think you're amazing?"
"Of course," replied Shun somberly, "But then again, Athena thinks all people are amazing. They're like her children."
"Oh, Shun," sighed the blond girl, "But you really are amazing." Shun smiled leisurely up at her.
"I'm glad you think that way, June, because I think you're amazing too." June blushed at this statement and returned to the craft in her hands. There was a beautiful silence between them as Shun slowly drifted towards sleep.
"Shun?" June finally prompted shyly.
"Hmm?" he replied, opening his eyes again.
"Will you do something for me?"
"Yes?"
"Wear this." She held out the finished daisy chain to him.
"I knew your compliments couldn't be free!" Shun exclaimed, sitting up straight with eyes full of laughter. "You want everyone to really believe I'm a girl?" June laughed.
"They won't think you're a girl." A sparkle flew through her gaze. "I believe they've all seen you without, er, habiliments before." And suddenly the two were collapsed on the ground laughing. After the giggles slowly faded out, there was a comfortable silence during which Shun took the chain from June and placed it reverently on her head.
"You'll look much prettier than me if you wear the daisies, June," he told her sincerely. June blushed again, but could think up no good reply. Shun grinned. "Of course, if I wear them, then we might have a problem with who's actually prettier." And they were suddenly both collapsed in giggles again.
