Of Anime, Poetry and Falling in Love: Mack and Rose
Disclaimer: No…sheesh...
Challenge: Simplicity
Timeframe: Somewhere after Kick into Overdrive
Summary: She didn't expect anything from him.
She didn't expect anything from him, and for that he loved her. With her nothing was complicated- other than her long winded explanations.
But still, the simplicity was there. She just wanted him to be Mack, her Mack, her smart, sweet, caring, brave Mack. She just wanted to go to the bookstore and drink coffee and debate spiritedly about whatever fiction work they'd both recently read.
Everyone else needed something from him. The press wanted him to answer thousands of questions about being a ranger. His father counted on him to lead the team to victory. The world expected him to save it.
She never asked for anything like that. She just needed him to be her friend, and in exchange she was the best friend she could be to him. He appreciated it far more than Rose knew.
