A/N: Hey guys! I'm back with what I think is a side of love that is pretty important, hope you like it!
"Why do you love me?" she asks one day as they're sitting on the couch.
He takes a moment to gaze at her curled posture and avoiding eyes.
"You get engrossed with your designs or books or studying that you ignore me completely. You lose your temper and yell at me over the stress you produced from overworking yourself. You are your hardest critic almost to a fault. You're stubborn and obstinate and so completely sure you're right you refused to be swayed. You can be guarded and protective and obsessive."
She shrinks further into herself and moves away.
"Then wh-"
He cuts her off by reaching up to cup her face.
"And yet I love you for all that."
She still avoids his eyes and he gently pulls her face up to meet his.
"It's easy to love you for your princess curls and stormy eyes and soft lips. It's easy to love you for your hardworking nature, your skills, your talents."
He runs a thumb across her lips.
"It's easy to love you for your smile.
But I love you for your frown. Your flaws, your hardships. All the things you claim make you unlovable.
I love you for you and everything that makes you up."
He pulls her in for a kiss.
"I love all of you."
Stubborn as ever she replies, "No you don't."
He smiles and pulls her even closer. The corners of her mouth are pulling upwards as well.
"Yes, I do," he whispers before silencing any other words with another heartwarming kiss.
A/N: So what did you think? I think this is a pretty important concept. I think to love someone you have to love them through the bad as well as the good. And since this series is titled Semantics of Love, here's a semantic I suppose. I just wanted to cover this topic in this little drabble. Love the bad. Always work towards better, but you have to accept a person for who they are, love them for it.
Please Review! I'd love to hear your thoughts on this idea!
And as always, thanks for reading!
See ya! :)
