S is for Self

May groaned in annoyance as Drew continued to talk about how badly she did in the latest contest.

"You're attacks were sloppy, your appeal wasn't very appealing, and what's with your outfit?" Drew continued talking and talking and talking.

Finally May snapped, "Are you kidding me? Don't you ever think of anyone except yourself?"

Drew smirked, "I think of how horrible you do all the time. I believe that's pretty selfless."

May frowned, "That's not being selfless, that's being rude. Why can't you see your own flaws? Have you ever reflected on yourself? Because if you did, I believe you'd find yourself to be very, very selfish."

Drew shook his head, "My lovely selfless May, I think about others all the time."

May groaned, "Like when?"

"If you only open your eyes to see, then you would see me being selfless." Drew said.

He then threw a rose at her, "Meet me on the beach later, I'll prove to you I'm selfless and not selfish."

May laughed, "I hope you have something good planned selfish Drew, because I don't believe I will ever think you are selfless."

Drew shrugged, "We'll see then May."

Later that day, May walked down to the beach as she promised to see Drew sitting by himself.

She paused for a second to stare at him.

His emerald hair was ruffled with the sea breeze and his face had a thoughtful expression on it.

She walked up to him expectantly, "So what's this selfless act that you have planned for me to see?"

Drew smirked at her, but somehow it wasn't a mean smirk, but sort of a playing, teasing smirk, "Just sit down Maple, and you'll realize it sometime."

They sat together in a companionable silence and heard the ocean breeze.

Soon May felt sleepy and she leaned onto him, Drew smiled down at her, although she didn't see it.

Soon she dozed off.

Drew hesitantly brushed her hair with his hand and then set her down onto the bench, he took off his jacket to put it under her and wrap it around her.

He scribbled down a note on a piece of paper and then left it there with a rose and walked away.

When May awakened, the sun was setting.

She yawned and then realized that Drew was no longer with her and that his jacket was draped on her.

She wrapped it around her shoulders and then saw the note and rose, she took the rose in her hand and put it in her hair before reading the note.

May-

Next time you see me, don't call me selfish. Why? Because the things I do are mostly because of love, I love you May. Next time, I'll tell you I love you to your face.

-Drew

May smiled at the note and pulled the jacket around her shoulders tighter.

She inhaled the sweet aroma of Drew and shook her head, "Being one's self is being who one wants to be. Drew's all that I ever want him to be."
