Lächeln
Smiles are seashells Momiji collects: curves and soft colors. He's good at telling real from fake, finding whole ones in a field of fragments.
Tohru's are brightest and best. And alongside them he finds the rare ones he adores--Hatori's, Yuki's, Kisa's.
Second to Tohru's his favorites are Kyo's: smiles that try hard to be frowns. At first, Kyo awarded them just to Tohru--but spying, Momiji added them to his hoard.
Now, facing an impersonal gaze, he gifts his mother with a sparkling grin.
"Good to see you, ma'am. I'll run along."
His hands clasp tight around remembered smiles.
Author's note: German word up there is supposed to mean "Smiles."
