Power and Control

It took me a while to figure out. But thinking back on it, it seems so obvious, I can't believe it took me months to realize it.

Shizuru likes power and control.

Don't get me wrong, I say she likes it but I'm not saying that she abuses it… ok, no, that's not entirely true either… But anyways, more specifically Shizuru likes to KNOW she has power and control, and can exert it whenever she pleases.

The fact she likes to be in power is quite obvious, really, given that she's the student council president. Yes, yes I know what you're thinking: even though she's student council president half the time, as in all the time, she delegates her authority to Haruka while she, herself, just sip tea. But like I said: Shizuru likes power, not so she can use it but so she knows she has it. Even though she lets Haruka do everything, I think the fact that Shizuru knows that she is the one manipulating her to do as she pleases is enough to satisfy her.

And then there's me. I am just another example of the great Fuuka Kaichou proving to herself that she is all powerful. I once asked her why she ever took notice of me, her answer: because I didn't seem to care, at first I took it as that because I wasn't one of her fan girls she didn't find me annoying or something. But now I know it wasn't so.

At the time I was cold and uncaring, I didn't give a damn about school, rules, friends or relationships, let alone who the popular people in my school are. And because of this she saw me as a challenge; someone that wasn't under her spell; someone who wasn't under her control; someone she actually has to work to win over. Little did she know she would fall in love with me in pursuit to recruit me as one of her masses.

After the Hime fiasco and the hardship between us gone and done, the two of us became a couple. When we started going out she began to tease me a lot, and I mean a lot, more than the usual – a lot. I had feared at the time, that the excessive teasing was part of Shizuru's true self and that she finally felt comfortable enough to reveal it to me, and boy was I freaking out, it's not like I would had left her because of it but my heart, face and most importantly my reputation was in serious danger.

But then... I started to notice - that at times the teasing would stop – she would still make little jokes, but they were ones that I could handle, and would just be sweet and loving to me. It took me a month after noticing to figure out what the pattern was: she would stop teasing after we had been intimate, after some cuddling or kissing, or just that I was especially attentive to her.

It took me months after we started dating to figure it out.

Shizuru is insecure about our relationship.

She is anxious over the fact that she had no power and control over me, so she teases - making sure she can manipulate me in some way, even if it is just the colour of my face.

So… I guess I'll just have to reassure her. Reassure her of the fact that her love for me has more power and control over me than anything else… just as my love does for her.

A/N: well til nxt time! later!
