Curls
She curses about it loudly, even stooping to ask Nudge for a hairpin, but he wishes she would keep the tendril of hair, slipping out of her sloppy ponytail and into her eyes, right where it was.
Effortless
Nudge, Ella, and Angel say she's hopeless, but he likes the way her hair falls, wet from the shower, and pulled back into a careless bun.
Disagreements
Angel says that she thinks her eyes are dull and boring. He begs to differ.
Burnt Toast
She can't cook to save her life, but she never really was one to be told she couldn't do anything.
Personalities
She's impulsive. Sarcastic. Loud mouthed. Jealous. Judgmental. Hostile. Protective. He wouldn't have her any other way.
Dripping Eyelashes
She doesn't always go swimming, preferring to watch the waves on the beach, but he loves her dripping eyelashes framing her eyes like sunset on water and pretty much melting his heart.
Vocabulary
Adorable. He never thought he would use the word before.
Two is Better than One
She can't add very well, and neither can he, but between the pair of them they can put two and two together and somehow come up with four.
Invincible
She's strong, tough, and would be the one to survive the apocalypse, but he has seen her smile, just for a moment, and it's as if she didn't have a care in the world.
Dreaming
They argue every day but he relishes it. It proves that she's not a dream. Or cloned. One of the two.
Lonesome
When the only one beside her is her shadow, he makes sure she's not alone.
Wings
He paid Angel-the little blackmailer-so she wouldn't repeat some of his thoughts about her out loud. Iggy would have a field day.
Forgiveness
She's not innocent-far from it-but sometimes when she smiles at him, he forgets just for an instant exactly who dyed all his socks pink.
Listening
He doesn't have to speak to talk to her, but sometimes he does anyway, just to hear her voice.
Easy Silence
Sometimes she hums quietly to herself when she thinks no one is listening. He doesn't compliment her so she'll continue.
Perfection
He's not known to be affectionate, but sometimes, when they have a bit of quiet, she'll snuggle a little closer and lean her head on his shoulder. That's when she knows all is right in the world.
Telepath
Sometimes he seems just like any other person on the street-far away and distant and utterly foreign-but then he seems to read her mind and his lip twitches into a smile more familiar than her own.
Support
When the world is out to get her, he's always there, whether she likes it or not.
Pain
It's kind of a self-destructive thing, loving someone so willing to jump in front of a bullet to save five other people, not to mention the fact that her quest is to save the entire freaking world. But he loves her anyway.
Bipolar
Sometimes she wants to kill him. And then he smiles.
Teasing
He's always the first to jump on her when her eyes glaze over and she smiles a goofy grin, but she gets him back when he does the same thing.
Dusk
At the end of the day, even if they're sporting fresh bruises, have questionable hygiene, and her voice is hoarse from yelling at the pyromaniac duo, he loves it when she stays up a little later through his first watch just so they can watch the stars together.
