Little Things
It's the simplicity that of it all that affects her.
Normally, people would find the big romantic gestures to be the heart pounding and defining moments that take their breath away and build a romance.
But for Shizuru, it was different.
Although, a romantic at heart as well…She had always also loved those romantic movie like moments.
But she's come to learn that it's the little things the pull her heart strings and fills it with a warm like tenderness of fulfillment.
The build-up of a string of little moments that tickle her pink in their subtle yet caring nature was something that Shizuru has always loved and came to appreciate more. Especially when it comes to Natsuki.
The other girl was never the type that would be upfront with her feelings. Not with her reticent nature when it comes to emotions especially that of the intimate nature. Their relationship was something that grew over time in the subtle yet always there manner. Another of saying so would probably be a "More than friends, less than Lovers relationship" that became more evident after the Carnival and normal life crept upon them.
Of course, it was only through a very clumsy admittance from the blue haired biker that a more concrete and solidification of their relationship had come about.
The happiness that Shizuru had felt was more than she could ever hope for. Eventually, noticing the little things the normally shy biker would do for her new lover had always pleased the Ex-Kaichou and the tender way her eyes would twinkle in appreciation was something that Natsuki had grew to love over the time they spent together. The reality that the shy and socially awkward teen would grow to show affection was something that made her love the former ice princess(at least towards her) ever more.
Natsuki didn't think Shizuru realized just how she looked at her when she did those little things for the older girl.
Little things,
Like making her a cup of tea when she comes home tired at night.
Or the way Natsuki's hand would sometimes tuck a stray lock of hair behind the tawny haired ear.
Maybe it's when there are days when the biker just shows up at Shizuru's University and offers the other girl a ride home so they can go home together.
Or maybe it's the soft and tender way Natsuki would stroke her thumb on the red eyed girl's hand whenever they would hold hands.
Either way,
It was mesmerizing.
The way the light would reflect in Shizuru's ruby eyes as the tenderness would reflect in them and slight surprise that came before she grew used to small moments of affection that blue haired girl would do, was addicting.
It was when they've come to appreciate and realize that it's not always about the big moments that make things right. But the tender and calm moments that fill a relationship with love.
The little things do matter.
