Scarlet Red ( A Leopika Fan Fiction )

Love

"They say love is simply complicated. They say love is stable yet full of hardships. Love is something that you must earn and cherish. Love is something that you must let go of if the time is right. This is love. Confusing to everyone and ever illusive. Some people die without ever loving. Some people drown in the love they receive from others,"
" Confusing indeed. Love can as also cause people around it to have pain and displeasure. Even I don't truly understand true love. Does it even really exist? Is it possible to find the one person you swore you love forever, and not grow bored. Humans are a species that crave both excitement and perfection,"
"Human however are far from perfect. New humans are brought into this world everday making new flaws that need fixed. Humans are made to have flaws because the word prefect dosen't really exist. No one or thing is prefect. Not even true love as people will tell you. If anything love and humans are hand to hand with that word," " This is all horribly complicated in ordinary people's eyes. They can't grip the thought of humans forever being second best. They can't grip the thought that humans are not prefect. We can take over lands. Win wars. It all dosen't matter. We are not prefect... and we should love ourselves for that fact".

I slowly put down my book and looked at the moon that shone through the window. The stars reflecting off the water making it seem to glow. I looked at my book once more and shook my head throwing it on the side table. Why? Why do you continue to torture yourself with such tales of romance? You have a job to do and that is all you should focus on. I sighed and looked at the mirror my eyes flashed a shade of red and I covered them with my hands.

I can't do this anymore. Not tonight. Probably not tomarrow but I swear I will get over this. You see. I have a crush. I have never been good at handling things of this matter so I decided to read about it to see if it would help. It didn't. Now I am expecting more and more to come out of this small, dangerous, even deadly set back. Every time he is around me I freeze or at times I would try and shrug it off but fail.

I know he cares about me. I know that he would throw his head on a blade for me. Is that love? Or is that just good friendship? I sighed and closed my eyes my eyelashes tickling my the palm of my hands. I would never understand how someone like him could make me feel like this. He is selfish and yet kind. He is loud but quite around me. He is beautiful and yet ugly. This man confused me.

I sighed and laid back in my bed unable to hold my breath any longer. I probably would never understand how he feels about me. I probably would never understand how I felt about him. I felt my face heat up and looked at the mirror. My eyes glowing a scarlet red and I covered them with my hands.

" Oh, Leorio," I whisphered as I laid on myside facing away from the mirror. I closed my eyes and buried my face in the soft fabric of the pillow. " I just don't understand," I mumbled and slowly fell asleep. The cold wind on my neck and the warm heat in my face.
