Questions

People ask me sometimes why I chose her. How do you expect me to answer that? I love her, she loves me. Isn't that enough?

No, of course not. People tell me, 'She's just average. She's moderately pretty, she's only so intelligent, and she's not a genius like you.' It makes me feel like saying, 'Well, you're no looker either, are you?'

She may be just average, but still, I love her. She's special just the way she is. I can't ask for much more than that. I'm constantly grateful she chose me, not the other way around. We both depend on each other, whether it be training or anything else.

And on that note, she's the only one who trains with me, every single day. You would think she'd eventually get bored because, well, she never wins and I never lose. She could easily find another person to train with her, but she doesn't. Because she loves me too. (And also because neither of us know anyone who would voluntarily train with me. It's the brutal truth, but I don't mind.)

Everyday when I go over to her house after training, she always makes me tea and sets out something like cookies or crackers. Granted, the cookies generally taste awful because she burns then, but the effort is what really matters. But hey, the tea is excellent. She makes great tea.

She also likes to do my horoscope. Once, she told me I was Yang and she was Yin. Neither can exist without each other. She definitely set me up that time. I kissed her anyway. It was sweet that she made the attempt.

At first I had been very reluctant to make PDOAs, or public displays of affections. She didn't seem to mind that much. She understood that with this, I would have to take it slow. But soon I realized that PDOAs were a way to show how much you really love someone. And I really do love her. After the first time I engaged in a PDOA, I was never hesitant with them again.

Sometimes, if I've been away or I'm just tired, period, she plays the piano for me. I didn't even know she could play a musical instrument, let alone well. Well, maybe well isn't the word. More like, 'Good enough that I'm not relieved when she's done.'

But now I'm getting off topic. I can't really answer a question like that, can I? That'd be like asking why you love your mom. It's simple: You love her. And ultimately, there's no other answer I can give. She does all of that for me—how could I not love her? So now…

Now can you leave us alone before I assign you a death cause? (A/N: I think that's Deidara's quote to Tobi but I'm not sure…)
