Assurance
n. A statement or indication that inspires confidence; the act of assuring.

Leine frowned at no one, moping, yet again, while she sat on their bed. She had already taken a bath and was now ready to go to bed, but something was still missing and she hadn't heard it yet from him.

Dino walked inside the room wearing only his bathrobe while he dried his hair with a towel. He noticed her upset look and raised an eyebrow as he wondered what was wrong now.

"Leine-chan?" he called to his lover as he approached her.

She did not answer nor even look at him. She was still waiting for it…

"What's wrong?" he asked, sitting beside her, the cushion sinking under his weight.

She looked up at him, her eyes getting glassy as she felt tears threatening to come out. Just looking at him made her want to cry and hug him. But she had to hear it first. Let him prove it to her that he felt the same way to her- if he even did.

"Dino-kun, do you like me?" she asked, her voice shaky. Her eyes held fear and hope at the same time.

He only blinked his eyes before saying, "No."

She let out a gasp, tears welling up already down her cheeks. So it was true all along. He didn't like her. She felt useless.

She felt a hand wipe away her tears; she looked up and found him smiling. Was he mocking her? If so, he was doing a pretty good job. It only made her cry even more.

"Silly," he said while he pulled her to an embrace. "I don't like you, I love you."

"Really?" she hiccupped, not returning the embrace yet. He was warm, and it comforted her.

"Really," he assured, kissing her forehead. "Now let's go to bed before you have another one of your mood swings." He chuckled.

She nodded and lied beside him, not before turning off the lights. He automatically pulled her to him while he circled his arms around her smaller form.

"Dino?"

"Hmm?" he hummed, smelling her sweet scent he had become accustomed to. And he loved it more than anything else.

"I love you," she whispered.

"Same here,"

Sometimes, even if it was obvious, women had to be assured that their partners loved them to let them know how they mean to their lives. That was because they were insecure species that they had to be assured every single time. It really was tough being a man.

YAY! So yeah, the next one is hella funny...I think. I have a sick humor. lolz. Review so Dino doesn't die? -points sword at Dino's neck-
