And here's another theme for the 100 Theme Challenge :D
ENJOY!
15. Gift
Today was Roy's birthday. The towns and villages were having uproar about it. The duke was showered with gifts and money for this special day.
Marth knew that this day was special. He wanted to give his best friend something special… but he doesn't know what. He can't let this special day go to waste, so he went off to the store to get a gift… a gift that Roy would love.
Looking at all of the items, the prince sighed. Jewelry… Roy has plenty of those in his castle… clothes… no… He thought. He was ready to give up until…
An item caught his eye.
There was a headband, covered in gold. The headband shined from the sunlight beating down at it, and it sparkled.
The prince found the right gift.
"Ah, so this golden headband is what you want?" The salesperson asked.
"Yes, sir." Marth answered.
"8000 gold, please."
Marth was taken aback by the price of the headband. However, he didn't care; he knew that Roy would love this gift.
After spending almost all of his gold on the headband, the prince hurried to Roy's castle.
The sun was beginning to go down. The sky was turning into an orange hue, making it beautiful. Roy loved going to the cliff to watch the sunset to get away from the commotion in his castle.
The boy sat on the ground, staring at the sunset. Sighing, he thought of his day.
It was so hectic… everyone gave me presents… money… even though they were so thoughtful to do that, I'm… not happy about my birthday… it's always the same; everyone gathering at my castle, showering me with gifts…
Roy shook his head. Then he had thoughts of Marth.
The two were close friends, spending time together. Marth would do anything for the boy, even though Roy insisted that he doesn't have to do anything. Every evening, the two usually sit together at this very cliff, watching the sunset together and they talked.
Come to think of it… where was he all day?
Marth was in a panic when he found out that Roy wasn't at his castle. However, he quickly calmed down when he realized that the sun was setting. He knew the right place to find him.
Wrapping the gift in a box, he quickly ran to find a cliff… a cliff that he and Roy usually hang out.
Eventually, he saw a figure sitting near a cliff, staring at the sunset. He recognized Roy immediately.
"There you are." Marth said. Roy was startled, and he turned, only to see Marth. The boy sighed with relief.
"Oh… hello Marth." Roy greeted, smiling.
Marth felt his heart melt. His smile was so cute...
"I… I have something for you." Marth said, offering the boy a wrapped box.
Roy stared down at it, and he slowly took it. Opening it, his eyes widened upon seeing the golden headband. It glowed beautifully from the sun's fading rays.
"Marth… that…" Roy couldn't find words for this wonderful gift. How did he find it? It must've been expensive…
"I found it at the store. I… I figured you'll like it." Marth smiled shyly.
Roy smiled widely and he quickly hugged the prince. "Marth… that was kind of you… thank you."
Marth was taken aback by the sudden hug, but he held the boy back, glad that he loved the gift.
Roy lets him go and he then spoke. "I love the gift… but there's also another gift that I love the most."
"Hm?" Marth asked, curious. What other gift did he love the most…?
Suddenly, Roy's lips met Marth's. Marth was shocked that the boy kissed him, but he accepted it, closing his eyes. It was wonderful…
Their lips parted. "The best gift… is you with me on my birthday."
Marth smiled and he held the boy close. "I love you Roy…"
"I love you too, Marth."
Yeah, lame and short, I know, but I have a hard time thinking of some words to make it longer XD
