Sentence I used, Gakuen Alice: DISCLAIMED.


Love: A wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain,
causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and lips to pucker.


Hotaru Imai just couldn't take it anymore. All the sources that she had read (and researched) were telling her that she... she... damn. That was a hard thing to say. That she was in love! With no other than her self-proclaimed archenemy, Ruka Nogi.

Hilarious, wasn't it? But no. Hotaru Imai wasn't even laughing.

Mikan Sakura, Hotaru Imai's best friend, frowned when she heard the inventor sighed for the nth time that day.

"Hotaru, is there something wrong?" she asked. The said female just spared her a glance, locked eyes with her for a second before looking away. Once again, the raven-head sighed.

The bubbly nullifier couldn't take it anymore, so she stood up and walked to her best friend's side. "Seriously, Hotaru, are you okay? You've been so... out of character lately. And you haven't shot me since two days ago! Oh my God, Hotaru! What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing's wrong with me, Mikan. Nothing," the inventor answered, before giving out a sigh... once again.

"Hotaru-"

"I said, nothing's wrong! And I am not in love with Ruka Nogi!"

Hotaru Imai stiffened when she saw Mikan's jaw drop as she heard those words. Luckily, they were inside her laboratory and no one would hear their, uh, conversation.

"That's... that's wonderful, Hotaruuuu!" the brunette then exclaimed, before lunging herself into her best friend for a hug.

"No, it's not," the blackmailer retorted, as she tried to untangle Mikan's arms off her body. Oh, her delicate, fragile body...

"Eh? Why?"

Hotaru stared at her for a moment before reciting a single definition that she had researched not long ago. "Because... Love is a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and lips to pucker."

Mikan stared at her for a few seconds and she even blinked twice, thrice, in order for her brain to comprehend the words that Hotaru just said. "W-what? I can't understand a word you just said, Hotaru," she then said, before motioning to scratch the back of her head. "Sorry."

The raven-head muttered under her breath, before looking at Mikan's hazel browns. "Being in love makes you idiotic. And I don't want to be an idiot, thank you very much." She then stood up, leaving a very confused Mikan behind.
