Doh!  I realized I might have made one or two slips, but I had no clue I
made as many as I did!  Er... here's the revised copy...
One Syllable Challenge Fanfic
By David A. Tatum

Disclaimer:  Ureshii Yatsura belongs to its creator, Rumiko Takahashi, not
me.  Hence, all the characters in this story belong to her too... though I
doubt this is what she had in mind for them.

Author's notes:  LIME...  Well, I tried...  By the way, this is in first
person present (heh... helps with the syllables) which is something I'm not
used to.  Ah, well...

-------------------------

The love of my life is in front of me.  He looks as shy as a small boy
about a girl on his first date.  I wish he will make me feel as good as he
would make that girl...

"Lum," he says, "This is... hard to ask.  I want to know, though... you
aren't... that is, are you..."  He takes a deep breath and then he blurts
out what is on his mind.  "If it meant you could love me, can you be a... 
Could you be bi?"

"Wh..."  I try again.  "What did you say?"

"If it meant you could love me, would you make love to some girls as well
as me?"

"Why?" I squeek.

"Well... see, it has come to the point where I can't live without... HER. 
And, I found out at lunch... she likes girls.  And... well, she thinks that
you... are cute."  I blink.  I had no clue she felt that way... and no clue
she felt that way for me.  "She said... I can love her, as I want... as
long as she can... well, have you at times.  Which... well, I don't mind...
I find you... cute... too.  I could love you, too, I think... but not that
way... at least, not if I don't see if she and I would work out.  So, I ask
you one more time... could you be bi, with HER, if it meant you could love
me?"

I don't know what to say at first... I don't care for... HER.  To make LOVE
to her... for him... well, that's a bit much.  Still... this man is the one
I love... the one I will one day be wed to.  If that means I must love a
girl I hate for him... then...

"Yes."

-------------------------
Hmm... Hard to keep in character when I can only use one syllable words. 
Ah, well... here's my submission...
(By the way, I don't particularly like Lum, but she was the first
one-syllable anime name I could think of, so I built a story around her
name... not too good, but what do you expect?)
