So, BIG discussion on the whole Neal/??? thing. This was requested by a friend of mine (marauders-and-lily-i-love - why can't you have a shorter name??) and I forget who she pairs him with. But I know everyone has different opinions, and personally - I've only really seen him with Yuki, but whatever. You can pair him with who ever the hell you like!!

Fool
He's an idiot. A moron. A complete simpleton. Not literally, of course, but no-one else will ever understand why jumping on few vegetables is quite that funny. A few smiles, of course, a bit of a laugh – absolutely. But when he got into the fifteenth minute of hilarity, she decided to just chuck a bucket of water over him and be done with it. He's far more handsome when his eyes aren't red or swollen, and she's sure he's going to give himself an injury.
Ache
She never though it would be this hard, being romanced by a knight. Why couldn't he have a desk job? She's knows full well he is perfectly capably of taking care of himself, but every time she's forced to watch his back as he rides off to possibly die so far away, the fear is paralysing, but the worst part is, it hurts.
Song
He can't write lyrics (or poetry, for that matter) for the life of him, but he has the wonderful voice. She's never heard him sing – and she doesn't need to – because the way his voice moves and flows, it's his own person musical instrument –and it's beautiful.
Change
When she realised he turned her into a sap, she was cross. When she realised he'd turned her into an emotional sap, she was furious. She'd slap him if she weren't so glad to see him.
Exuberance
Everything is so dramatic! There can't be a day when nothing happens, because the world would end. She'll never admit that she enjoys it; she'll just give him a crack on the head and a fond roll of the eyes.
Still
People very rarely see Nealan of Queenscove sitting unmoving, unless he's utterly depressed. But if giving half the chance, he'll watch her, sitting at such a standstill his breath nearly stops. Because she's so beautiful, and he could never bear to disturb, especially when she's concentrating. It would be wrong.
Handsome
He's covered in mud and sweat, must have half the barn on his tunic – you can barely see it for the straw and sawdust, and smells appalling, but he's still far more attractive than any other man in the room. Admittedly, the others smell even worse, but that would kill the romance.
Tidy
She's stubborn, determined, hard-headed, obstinate, wilful, mulish and disturbingly intelligent. She's beautiful, stunning, attractive, delightful, darling, eye-catching, dazzling, and looks remarkably cross. Maybe he will move his washing after all.
Her
He adores everything about her, from the precise shade of her hair, to the slight tilt of her head to the soft assurance of her actions. And he intends to tell her that every single day – at great length, possibly in poem form.
Him
He drives her mad, acting like a child one minute and a middle-aged man the next. Yet, she loves him. Because he always knows just what to do when she hurts and just what to say when she laughs.

Seem a little short? That's cause I'm doing these in bouts since I have exams soon. Joy of all joys. Normally I just post fifty at once and be done with it. Still, what can you do? Why is it I'm writing for eveyone else? Oh, and MountainMist, I'm halfway through that oneshot for you, if you're reading this... [Did anyone else notice that that was all totally unrelated..?)
REVIEW!!!!! IT'S ONLY POLITE. Besides, it makes me happy and I need good vibes to counteract two weeks of exam vibes. (Crap.)
...Please??
