one; reasons

Hatsune Miku is a curious girl.

More than once, she finds herself wandering about little things, irrelevant ones, that she often finds intriguing. She is a woman of logic and if she wants to know why she can't slam a revolving door then she damn well gets the answer. (On a completely different note, her friends hasn't let her live that down yet)

Which is why as she stares at a golden-haired boy with eyes the same color as the sky on a clear day, one question continues imprinting itself on her mind.

"Len," she murmurs.

The said teen looks up from his homework, his eyebrows scrunch together. "What is it?"

Miku hesitates, fiddling with a loose thread on her shirt. "Just something I was thinking about." She wonders if it's okay to ask your best friend-turned-boyfriend these sorts of question or will it count as some form of taboo or something? Miku is new in this relationship thingy and she sometimes gets quite annoyed at her own ignorance.

Len cock his head, curiosity clear on his face. "Yeah?"

Miku takes a deep breath, tells her subconscious to shut the eff up and stop bringing up worst case scenarios inside her head and stares at Len in the eye.

"What exactly," she pauses, "do you love about me? I mean, I was wondering because I'm not exactly beautiful or smart or funny or, or something! I even pranked you so many times that I eventually stopped counting and yet you still accepted me and I don't know, I just want to understand what you saw in me, and I'm perfectly conscious of the fact that I'm rambling."

Miku closes her eyes, suddenly afraid of his answer. She has convinced herself so many times that if Len only loved her because of some dumb ass reasons, she will kick his ass in a matter of seconds.

What she didn't expect is for him to laugh so much it made him sound like a whale dying. "What exactly is funny," Miku mutters, cross at her boyfriend's reaction. She doesn't know what exactly is funny with the whole thing.

Finally, after what seems like forever, he finally stops, not after letting out a few more chuckles. "I'm sorry. It's just that you blushing is quite rare, if I do say so myself."

Miku grumbles and crosses her arms, "So, what's your answer? And don't tell me it's because of my hair and my eyes because teal is not really your favorite color. And don't even get me started on my personality."

Before she can continue, Len takes her hands, his expression completely serious. "You really want to know?" At Miku's nod, he grins, "It may sound really corny," Miku frowns, "and I'm sorry but I don't know how uncheesy-fy it, so here goes."

He takes a deep breath, "I love the way you smile, how your whole face lights up whenever you see something cute. You're always optimistic even at the darkest of times and I always know that I can count on you to cheer me up."

Miku blushes and buries her face on his shoulders, "You're right. It's corny."

Len smiles. "You aren't afraid of people's opinions and you don't change yourself just to fit in with others. You are who you are and you're not afraid to show that."

"Yet, you also have a soft side. Whenever that baka Rin cries you always handly her in the most caring way and I know that all of it comes from your heart. You sympathize and even then, you are still able to punch anyone who makes your friends cry."

Len continued, "And don't even say that you're not beautiful or funny or smart, though I agree with the latter," Miku respond with a half-hearted punch. "Anyone with eyes can see that you are pretty, and I think even Kami-sama agrees, because He gave you a unique hair color. I think -wait, I know, that He knows that you will grow up to be a wonderful person yourself."

Len makes eye contact with Miku, "And whoever thought of the idea of making Rin's hair the colors of the rainbow have a pretty good sense of humor if I do say so myself."

Miku laughs, and even though her face is as red as the color of a fire truck engine, she smiles, because who won't smile with a confession like that? "You're a dork."

Laughing, Len kisses her in the forehead, "I won't answer that because I've said enough corny lines to last a lifetime."

And as Miku further snuggles up into his arms, she wonders why she hadn't kicked his ass yet and on the back of her mind, she thinks that corny as it may be, it still made her heart race and her stomach erupt with butterflies.

Dumb ass reasons, indeed.
