Four reasons to love:

The whole day spent walking up and down the beach with Wanta by her side, she was relaxed after the time just spent walking up and down end to end sitting in silences as Wanta jumped and bounded about from the waves. The sky practically mirrored how she felt clear with nothing to distract from the purpose of the day. If anything was going to happen today it was going to be here confessing to Nana how she felt. "She might understand" Her mind found amusement in the little thought of when they met burning money like it was nothing but...well nothing but simple paper to burn for warm.

The universe is a big place and when it came to little thing love between two people always struck her as one of the things in life that gave meaning against the chaos People could inflict on others.....Nana was that other something much more then pinked headed little girl, someone who could burst through a door to nearly kill someone who was at time equal in what had been brought about by People; it almost seemed unfair to blame them against what People had inflicted onto them day after day. If anything was going today it was going to be her taking hold of Nana hand and hopefully give her all the love she had and wanted to share with the pinked horned little girl who in the entire universe was now standing out on the beach playfully kicking at the sand to find Mayu.

"She's my friend.....all of the people I know I want it to be her to share my love with" Mayu young knew what real love should mean compared to what she had grown up with, she knew if you love someone you never wanted them to suffer, feel pain, cry out for someone to help but only be left crying alone silently begging for it to end. Mayu knew that she wanted to hold Nana close and feel out the horns protruding the hair she couldn't but want to stroke when she could all she wanted to do was give someone love to cherish in the form to care.

"Mayu!" The voice sung to her even when it could be a simple mumble of thank you to excitement on eating something new to her as though she was a child......but in the end they were practically kids....both the same and different....the same to know what suffering felt like to dealing with the pain different....Nana could only hold onto hope while she could run till the only thing left her in the world to never feel the hurt.

"I can barely compare to what Nana suffered" The simple thought of how her friend technically was only a torso with false limbs to use for life.....the thought of how Nana looked without her arms or legs sent a shiver down her spine but oddly it wasn't from creepy it was to see Nana lay on a bed with stumps but how it made her feel slightly aroused. "I'm weird" She found herself imagining Nana limbs falling off as she drew closer smiling away...the smile was real but behind it stood someone who would cry out in her sleep for Papa....crying out for them to stop. "I don't want you to be sad or alone as you sleep" Mayu stood and ran for Nana who only tilted her head to see tears run from the brown eyes begging to never let her feel alone or pain again. "Nana" Maya cried as she wrapped her arms around the girl she really loved for so many reasons.

"Mayu you skipped school today" Nana unaware that she was within the hold of someone crying into her shoulder.

"I know" She murmured off to pull out and present tears stained face biting her lip at how she really wanted the words to be there now.

"Did you hurt yourself?" Mayu thought how cute Nana was asking something that wasn't clear to her but still it was cute to see the pink eyes glisten in the sun light.

"No but I don't want you to" The first words that when she thought about didn't make much sense but it didn't matter as she felt the words finally reach her mind screaming to be said.

"I haven't hurt myself"

"Nana do you like me?"

"Yes"

"Do you like me enough sometimes to kiss me?"

"Kiss?" In her life she hadn't seen people share the little sign of affection for one another....well she had watched TV shows that presented it but since they never said it was a kiss Nana went on with never understanding what people called it.

"I mean...." The words lost to her. "Fuck I've had all day to think and all I can get out is stuff" She spoke aloud backing from Nana with Wanta standing as the loyal dog who never left his master for anything.

"Did I do something?" Trying to get closer to her friend who stood crying away at how much it annoyed her to not get a word out.

"No!" Maya defended from how Nana could make mistakes but in the end it never mattered. "I think you look beautiful every day I see you, I think you look cute when you're asleep...Nana I can't stop thinking about how you look when you don't have your legs on" The last one for her felt like a mistake as Nana showed a confused expression at these words.

"Beautiful?" She had heard that word and she took it with a smile at the compliment.

"Yes" Mayu eyes danced from each foot trying to bring herself to see Nana in the eye. "Nana how do you feel about me now"

"I like you"

"Would you ever want to go out with me?"

"Yes" Nana replied in the only way she could using a vector to raise Mayu head to see the tear stained brown eyes.

"I like you Nana" Mayu felt the yes lack meaning unlike how she meant like.....like Nana didn't understand feeling the cool hand stroke away a tear.

"I like you to Mayu" The split second changed sadness in Mayu heart to one that she had wanted for the last year; the sweet lips of Nana on hers. Nana never experienced any kind of attraction in her life she never grew up knowing how relationships worked, she never told how sex worked and all she knew was that all the people she knew from Nyu who laid asleep to Lucy asleep with the mind of Nyu.....she knew she liked Mayu more than anyone to kiss tenderly. The sky clear, the sound of the ocean washing over the sand with Wanta sat looking up to the two girls share a kiss; even Wanta knew somehow that Mayu was happy and he knew sat silently to not bark.

"Nana, I love you" Mayu cried feeling all the hurt in her life the kiss made the pain a little horrible to carry.

"Love you" Nana held Mayu close for her she felt everything hurt but feeling Mayu hold her back made her feel warm....she felt happiness....she had felt happy for a few months since living at the Inn but somehow it never felt real until now.

They sat looking out to the ocean never moving for a second till the sky became a beautiful shade of reds mixing together. Nana fell asleep on Mayu breathing softly; Mayu couldn't help to think how innocent Nana looked even when things had happened when Nyu disappeared for six months......even when she knew what Nana was capable of she didn't feel scared at how it came to be. "I never leave your side *Kiss*" A peck on one of the horns that for Nana sent a delicate sensation into her mind to make her legs to curl up with mumble for more her eyes open to see Mayu pull back a bit embarrassed at what Nana exclaimed in her sleep.

There's more......probably: )
