Why Do You Love Me

Why Do You Love Me by ALPH4_CENT4URI

Nashi x Gideon

"Why do you love me?" 

Nashi plays with her fiancé's blue hair, rolling the ends in her fingertips. Gideon's eyes flickers up to hers, finding them mixed up with different emotions.

Sadness.

Regret.

Confusion.

Excitement.

Love.

"I love your hair. Even if the salmon color reminds me of your annoying dad, it's something that no dye could replicate. It's so soft and silky, surprising since you don't even wash it that often. It's unique." Gideon scoots closer to her, placing a kiss on the top of her head. Nashi furrows her brows in confusion. He reaches out with his hand, grasping onto hers.

"I love your eyes. They're a beautiful shade of brown. The shade of brown that reminds me of rich milk chocolate. The golden flecks in them reminds me of the sun. After all, you are my sun. Everyone seems to need you, so they revolve around you. All of your friends, all of your family, look up to you.

"What I love most about your eyes is the emotion you can see in them. The determination, the happiness, the excitement. The true eyes of a soldier." Gideon rubs his thumb over her knuckles, enjoying the feeling of her smooth skin against his. The tips of Nashi's lips turn up a little as happiness pours over her.

"I love your lips. They are so soft, yet so real. They can turn one of the most slowest loving kisses into a hot and passionate one." Gideon places a kiss onto her lips, enjoying the feeling of the adrenaline coursing through his veins. He pulls away, and puts his forehead against hers.

"When the corner of your lips turn down, it makes me sad. You deserve to be happy, hell, you also deserve the world." He moves his other hand to her cheek, and he rubs it soothingly.

"My personal favorite lip look has to be when you smile. It can change a shitty day into a good one. Your smile can brighten up a room, and when you smile, I can't help but smile too." Gideon doesn't bother suppressing a smile, which makes Nashi snort a little. He brings up their intertwined hands, and he places them on top of his heart.

"I love your hands. They can be so delicate and soft, yet most of the time they end up punching people in the face. You've taken down a lot of enemies with these hands, but also saved a lot of lives. These hands helped you make friends, and helped you hold those you love dear close." Gideon brings them back down, and his gaze shifts back to Nashi. He looks into her eyes once more, to find them filled with a pure love that only he would ever see.

"I love that scar on your back. It represents the day that you overcame something more powerful than you, something you couldn't control. It also represents the beginning of our friendship, and the beginning of our love. But, the scar shows that you are human. You aren't just a strong fist and you aren't just a pretty face. You are Nashi Fullbuster, daughter of Natsu and Lucy Dragneel. You possess strong physical strength, but a kind heart. And I love that about you too." Gideon leans down and kisses the top of her hand. Nashi smiles brightly, but doesn't say a word. In reality, she doesn't have to.

"I love the Fairy Tail guild mark that you bear. It means that no matter how far apart we are, we are still family and we all care about one another. We will always be connected, and we always put a person before ourselves. We will always have an unbreakable relationship, no matter the circumstances. Even if someone leaves, they are still considered family. And this is what Fairy Tail is all about. This is what we are about. And I love that about you." Gideon moves over to kiss her guild mark, making Nashi's heart jump out of her chest.

"But you asked why I love you? I don't really know. I don't choose who I love. Fate just happened to slap me in the face and say, 'Hey, you are missing out on the most beautiful human being ever created and you could be kissing her right now.' I could've just let it be, but I just had to take the bait. And here you are now, lying in my bedroom with only your pajamas on. You are beautiful as ever, inside and out. I've dreamed of getting married to you, but doing the actual thing is a whole different story. But it's just a new chapter in our relationship." Gideon wraps his arms around Nashi's waist, leaning his head into the crook of her neck. Nashi smiles even wider, placing her arms around his torso. She slowly closes her eyes, feeling at peace as she lies in arms of her fiancé.

"But the real question is, why do you love me?" Gideon whispers, with his breath tickling the pinkette's ear. Nashi smirks behind his back, and leans in towards his ear.

"I don't know. I don't choose who I love. Fate chooses it for me."
