Theme: Valentine's Day Theme Supplier: Pretty In Orange
A/N: Again, it's not the right time of the year for a Valentine's Day one-shot, and I personally hate the day, but I didn't have a better theme. Feel free to throw a theme my way if you want, as long it's not filthy or really lengthy, I'll use it. Specify which collection it's for, or multiple collections if you want. Let's get going.

Senri and Rima met when they were 7, at a child's modeling gig. They became fast friends, but soon, Senri noticed something odd about his close buddy.
Where the other girls went crazy for Valentine's Day, she ignored it. She pretended it didn't exist, where other girls were obsessed.
But Senri got the concept. If you liked someone, you showed them that you liked them. And he liked Rima. So he kissed her on the cheek.
Rima's glare was even and unfaltering. "What was that for?"
Senri wracked his brain for an answer, clearly she didn't like Valentine's Day, and so he had to say something else.
"Just because." He stood up straight and gave her a small smile. Rima gave him the momentary raise of an eyebrow, and then she turned away.
Slowly, Valentine's Day became "Just Because" day. They weren't dating, not yet, and Senri got away with a lot for not mentioning the real name of that day. Just Because day was reason to kiss Rima's cheek or forehead, bring her flowers or chocolates, or just hug her unusually tight.
Then came the Just Because day when they were 14. Senri had waited until they were alone, plotting everything carefully, and then he had grabbed Rima and kissed her as romantically as a fourteen year old could possibly manage.
Rima blinked when he finally pulled away. "What was that for?"
"Just because... I love you." Senri leaned down a bit to tip his forehead to hers.
"Hm..." Rima was silent for a moment, and then she slowly slid her hands up his chest and around his neck. "Isn't it obvious I love you too?"
They shared their first, second, third and fourth kiss on that balcony, in the moonlight.
These days, Just Because day is Rima's favorite day of the year.
A/N: I have to hop off to bed, so anyone who reads The Coexistence of Lilac and Magenta, that will be up tonight, as will the next chapter of Twin Heart Snatchers. Anyway, it was short, but what did you think?
