The Second Love Letter: Aishiteru
Jeanne's Point of View
Yoh has many good traits. He is a friendly, warm, caring and optimistic person who would go through anything for all those he cares about. It doesn't hurt that he is cute too.
To balance that out, he also has several bad traits. Some of which includes being lazy and oblivious. Now, don't get me wrong. I don't find his clueless-ness really that bad; in fact, I find it downright endearing. Most of the time. Other times, it's downright annoying.
Other times such as now.
It is our two-year anniversary today. It so happened that it was also the day humans call Valentine's Day. I was walking down a street filled with couples trying to find a suitable gift for Yoh. He wasn't very hard to shop for, but it doesn't hurt to get him a nice gift. That's when I overheard a couple. The guy was saying mushy things, things so mushy I almost puked despite being a girl. But it wasn't so much as what the guy saidat the beginning that interested me, it was what he said at the end.
I heard the guy say the word and I could safely say that the girl almost melted right then and there. It set me thinking though. Never once in our two-year relationship did Yoh say "aishiteru". Oh sure, he lets me know that he loved me without saying it but I am still a girl, Iron Maiden or not. And a girl always wants to hear that word from her boyfriend.
I admit, I was pretty desperate when I got home. I cooked for him (he usually does that), I kissed him, cuddled him but he still didn't get the hint.
Instead of the word I wanted to hear, he just shot me an are-you-getting-a-fever? look.
By the end of the day, I had already given up. It is absolutely impossible for anyone to be this oblivious. Oh wait, I forgot about Yoh. I guess it's not as impossible as I thought.
That night, when I was ready to retire to my room and call it a night, he gave me my present: a hug, a kiss, a bunch of lilies, and "aishiteru".
