I'm a little like Klutz with this one--another song inspired me late at 
night. Some songs can be the best thing to give you inspiration, don't 
you agree? This fic is based off the song with the same title sung by 
Kenny Chesney, and I believe it was based on the movie "Jerry 
Maguire." So a little inspiration goes a long way, ne?

Anyway, this is a very short fic from Darien's POV. (I do that a lot, I've 
noticed, but getting into his thoughts is as close as I can get to him. 
*sheepish grin*) So here I go again. 


You Had Me From Hello
by Sailor Elysia


One word. Who knew how one simple word could create such a 
wonderful feeling within me? All it took was that one word to come 
from her lips and I was completely gone.

I didn't know her all too well before that day, but whenever I was at the 
arcade, I recalled seeing her there, either devouring a hot fudge sundae 
or engrossed in one of the video games. It was all I could do to hold in 
my laughter. If you're thinking I was laughing at her, well you're 
wrong. I could never laugh at her, rather I was just simply amused at 
how she lived life one day at a time, how each passing minute she had a 
smile constantly on her lips.

It wasn't just her words that took my breath away, you know. Her 
beauty was one that could rival that of an angel. I swear, all she was 
missing was a halo. Her long blond tresses shone like the setting sun, 
and her deep blue eyes sparkled like a mountain lake untouched by the 
wind.

Ah, but now I'm getting mushy and sentimental. But I guess I can't help 
it when I'm near her. One look, even a slight glance into her eyes 
melted me into a puddle quick as lightning. I find it incredibly amazing 
how just her mere presence was enough to break down the walls that 
I've been building around myself for years.

Finally, my dream came true. The day came when I bumped into her 
for the first time and the chance to speak to her revealed itself. She 
spoke first, and all she said was, "Hello." That's all it took. A huge 
wave of unexplainable emotions surged though me, and I knew I'd 
never be the same again. All I wanted now was to let her know how I 
felt about her. So I slowly opened my mouth, and. . .

I called her meatball head.
