Meowstic Flash Fic

The normally stoic-faced Meowstic couldn't help but shed a few tears… why she even decided to watch the orchid ceremony; she could barely remember. I suppose I should feel happy for him… she thought to herself. She looked up at him-- a Cinccino. Ever since she was an Espurr, and he a Minccino, she'd had her eye on him and wanted to tell him how she felt about him. While they were friends, he was completely oblivious to her advances, even more so than an Illumise. And it wasn't until much later that she realized he only had eyes for a different female Espurr.
The other Normal and Psychic Type Pokemon watching eventually hushed, as a second female Meowstic walked towards Cinccino. Oh, Xerneas, she became beautiful… Meowstic thought to herself, and she felt a twinge of jealousy.
Cinccino looked at his mate, then revealed an orchid in his paw. While her eyes lit up, Meowstic averted her eyes and her paw ran through the fur on her head. She wondered to herself, Will I ever know the joy of receiving an orchid? As she looked one last time up at the scene before her, Cinccino fastened the orchid to his Meowstic's head, mouthed the words 'I love you', then leaned forward and pressed his mouth to hers.
Meowstic choked back a sob as tears freely flowed down her face, then fled the scene. She couldn't watch anymore. Once she was far away enough, she leaned against a tree and let it all out, crying. At this moment, losing a chance at love and happiness was like losing everything. She wondered if she could even be friends with Cinccino anymore… it would cause her too much pain to see him so happy with someone else…
"Are you okay…?"
Meowstic jumped slightly as she felt a comforting paw on her shoulder. She tried to quickly dry her eyes, but the tears were coming too fast. She turned around and saw another Meowstic behind her-- a male. "D-does it look like I'm okay…?!" she said in a trembling voice.
"It isn't like you to cry so hard." The male Meowstic reached forward and touched her face, brushing away the tears. "Then again, I've never seen you cry."
Meowstic tensed up, but relaxed as she looked into his eyes. Somehow they seemed familiar. She remembered as an Espurr, one would get shy around her. "You… you were that bashful Espurr, weren't you?"
He nodded slowly, then sat down along with her at the base of the tree. "Here… tell me why you were crying…"
Meowstic told him about the orchid ceremony she'd seen. He hung on her every word, eventually taking her paw in his. As he softly stroked it, she looked up at him…
"I'll make sure you get another chance," he said in a soothing tone. "I promise."
Meowstic's eyes lit up, and she leaned against him, relieved that she still had someone to turn to. He held her in his arms, gently nuzzling the top of her head.

"Everything's going to be okay from now on."
