Mind Games
Warnings: none
Notes: implied Finn/Piper
For my little sister, Gem, who loves these stories. And Finn/Piper stories.
--X--
He finally did it. It wasn't hard. The only problem was that she was so hard to work through. She made everything look like a hard math equation.
And he hated math.
Then again…whatever made him figure it out was probably math.
All he had to do was look at the whole picture. And that part was easy enough, for him. He's always been a big picture guy. She always looked at the small details.
She was all about details.
He wasn't.
Of course, he had to sit in his room for about four hours to actually work it out. It was hard at some points. He was bored. Bored enough to cut his hair (he didn't, but close enough). Still…it wasn't hard. She always was in her room (not bored), doing whatever she feels she needs to do. All he did was lie in bed and think.
She just needed to…
Listen. Yeah. That was it. She could listen every once in a while to him.
Nah. He knew that wasn't it either.
How could he tell her that he totally figured out a problem? She would be surprised, that's for sure. The question as basically as important as the "What's the meaning of life?" one. Yeah…she would finally let him be in the lab more often to play—uh…look at those crystals…
She never listened to him before. But she will after this.
She'll love him.
It doesn't surprise him that she always does that to him. At first, he thought she was just arrogant. But then the guys started taking her side. He thought the world was against. But in his room, he figured it out.
Yeah, right.
The world still hated him.
But he had to change just a little.
Now he was started to sound like her. (Finn was horrified at the thought.)
Sometimes, it was amusing how much he could find faults in her, and yet, when he looked at the big picture, she was perfect. And he wasn't.
Opposites.
But ironic how the one who seemed more intelligent than all the others couldn't figure out this little problem.
Oh. The problem?
He always wondered why they never got along.
In his room, staring at the ceiling, if figured it out.
Answer: they had some unspoken attraction.
Yeah, she would totally think he was smarter now.
Now…
If he could only figure out a way how to say it to her…
It was just another mind game.
