Better Than
Flowers
by Dyan
I do not own Digimon...and of course not Matt...cuz
he belongs to Sora.
This is my first sorato written back in November. I
hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it. I'd like to dedicate to
all the sorato believers whose fan fics, art and sites inspired me.
Mahalo...<thanks.>
I was so depressed. My mother needed me to help her at
her flower shop on Valentine's Day. -Gasp- Isn't my life depressing
enough as it is. Here I am the digidestined of love... selling flowers to
last minute shoppers looking for a way to say "I love you" to their
intended. Please spare me the agrevation...why couldn't I be one
of the intended?
I had no other choice, but to help my mom on her busiest
work day. She begged me to help her... she knew that since i was a
good student i could afford a day off school. Right a day off.
Oh well... I didn't have to face the fact that I,
Sora was alone on V-day. So there i was beside my mother
helping cupid bring love to rest of the world besides myself. What a mad
house... let me tell you... everyone sure leaves everything for the last minute
when it comes to love.
I was sick and tired of hearing everybody gushing
passionately about their loved ones. Please
spare me the details. It's like everyone wanted to
throw their happiness in my face, somehow knowing that i was hopeless when it
came to matters of the heart.
What a fraud I truely am when it comes to bearing the crest
of Love. Sometimes it seems like such a burden.
Don't get me wrong... I am truely happy for others successes
when it comes to finding love. But why can't i have a little spice of
romance in my own dull life?
Ever since i left the digiworld behind... i've been battling
the fact that I am never going to be completely worthy of this crest until i
find my own true love. I mean the kind of love that brings one
fullfillment and purpose.
So there I was feeling completely hopeless and lost in
self-pity... in the mad rush of shoppers. I was getting ready to close
shop... my mother had left on a date with someone she had just met. I
told her that i didn't mind closing shop... like i had any real plans beside
wallowing in my own self misery. Plus i was truely happy for to see my
mother trying to move on with her love life... wishing i could do the same.
I was serving my last customers, letting them out and in the
process of turning the sign to close and about to lock the door... when I saw
those magical blue eyes looking at me.
Great... like my night wasn't depressing enough as it
was. I wonder which girl he was getting flowers for. Like i should
really care... but the sad part... I did.
His eyes pleaded me to open up the door for him.
How could I resist him...
I had no other choice to open the door to let Yamato in.
"Thanks Sora..." Yamato gasped as if he ran... to
make just on time..."I tried to get here sooner...but you know how it
is."
"O f course... you're in luck Yamato... the vultures
left a few flowers behind. I'll see what i can salvage."
I did my best to remain casual while my heart beated
rapidly.
"Thank you... I knew I could count on you. So how
come you weren't in school today... a hot date?"
" I wish... my mom needed the extra help on her busiest
day... did I miss anything special... any new couples, heart's
broken." besides mine.
"Nothing to write home about."
Getting back to why Yamato was here. I walked to over
to the counter and flower display.
"sorry there's not much of a selection left... but I'm
sure that the lucky girl would be happy to get weeds from you." Did
I just say that. Geeze... I'm such a geek. I could feel myself
beginning to blush.
Yamato who had been looking over the reamining flowers, came
up to me and took my shaking hands in his. "Sora... I'm glad to hear
you say that. I din't come here for those flowers... but something more
beautiful... you."
I couldn'tbelieve it! Yamato was here to see me... he
is holding my hands and looking at me and saying that i was...
"Sora what I am trying to say is that you captured my
heart along time ago... way back in the digiworld.
Tell me that i have a chance." He looked at me
with such love in his eyes. He was completely sincere."
I knew of only one way to answer such
a declaration of love.
I leaned over and brought my nervous...yet eager lips upon
his. It felt so right. His lips gladly accepted my offer. We
held each other sharing a magicak moment where i felt like I could wear my
crest of love proudly.
The beginning... definately not the end of a great love
ahead.
