"Are you in love with me?"
"No."
Pearl eyes gaze over her perfected nude form and proceed to diverge themselves into the nest of her neck. His smile is buried in the warm shelter of her hair.
Together, they are arranged into a tight fitting hug, with his body on top of hers and his arms lulled by her hands.
"Why?" He cannot commit himself to speaking the entire question he wishes to ask (and with all due respect, he would've liked to ask 'Why not' rather than 'Why') .
She begins to press her cupid bow mouth against his-for a short moment it feels like an answer, but he then realizes that it is nothing more than a distraction. He pegs her softly along her narrow waist for an answer.
"I like you."
He nods in agreement and slips his hand down further, pegging her for more words.
"I can't find flaws when I like something, but if we were in love…things would be different."
It is a sudden stop his hand makes. It halts its journey down her body.
"You're only in love when you find many flaws in a partner and accept them all."
"What if I'm naturally flawless?"
She laughs with her hazel eyes, "Neji, things don't work that way."
He is delighted with her humor, though his hand is distracted. It draws circles on her hand, and it is captivated by the touch of her engagement ring.
