Do we really need a reason to love someone? If we do, how many reasons must be present? Loving someone because they give us the feeling of being cared and understood, but is that enough?

I loved him ever since I first met him, we were both so young back then. My first reason why I fell for him, it's because of his way of understanding. He always understood me, he shows me sympathy when I'm in a down mood, he knows what to say, to do, to make me feel better, to help lessen my problems and pain. He takes care of me when I can't take care of myself, he never left my side, and I'm thankful that he never left me despite with all of the problems that could have occupied all of his time. Is that enough reason to love him? Am I even in the right age to know what love is?

My second reason on why I fell for him it is because of his humor. Throughout the years we both grow older, and my feelings for him also grow stronger. His dreams, confidence, and ego grow with him as well, despite all his imperfection he still manage to get me to smile genuinely. He jokes wasn't all the best, sometimes you can also say it as "cringe-worthy" but his laughter and smile is so contagious that I can't help but smile or laugh with him. He knows how to put a smile in my face, he doesn't even need to try, he just knows, and I'm glad that he does. Is that reason valid enough on why I love him? On why I can't help but feel so happy when he smile?

My third reason why I have fallen for him it is because of his imagination. He always believes on the mythological creatures, he sometimes says that he even sees them and he treats them as his friends. He told me he was going to give me one of his "Imaginary friends" for my birthday, my response was only a smile, but even if I don't believe a thing he said the smile was genuine, because I love his imagination, he also joined a club that shows there love for magic and mythology. I once ask him if love is some kind of spell making our heart run faster, he laughed but didn't deny it or confirm it. Sometimes I ask myself, is my feelings for him really love or is this all an illusion?

He's the magician. I'm the test subject, while my feelings are the illusion. Or maybe it's true, that I do love him, but what if he doesn't return my feelings? What am I supposed to do with the heart aches I have when his gone. Am I supposed to forget him? Hide my feelings?

"Alfred you seem like you're in your own world again. Something bothering you?" He looked at me with pure concern. His actions always manage to make me blush.

"No nothing is wrong." I gave him a weak smile and looked away from him. He sat next to me in the bench, we were both quiet for a minute until I broke the silence.

"Hey Iggy, do you think we need a reason to love someone?" He tensed up but he shrug it off, he stares of the distant like his thinking of his response, after a few seconds he finally replied.

"To be honest, not really. For me, love just magically appears in front of you, and it will take time for you to notice it, but eventually you will see it. Like some kind of magic spell, waiting for it to take effect and give its results." I smiled and he gave me a goofy grin. Maybe he's right, maybe you don't need a reason why you should love someone.

"Tell me, if you do need a reason on why you should love someone, what are those reasons?" He eyed me curiously, and looked down at his shoes. We were in silence like this for a few minutes. I feel a little awkward and worried that he's not responding. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to ask him such a question.

I was about to tell him to forget about what I said until he suddenly replied, "If I do need a reason, then the reason why I've fallen in love with the person right beside me, it is because he always manages to understand me, and despite with all the problems he's gaining, he still manages to get a smile plaster across my face."

My eyes widen, he didn't. He didn't just said that right? He didn't just confess to me that he loves me more than just a friend. When I turned to look at him, he was a blushing mess, and I found him so cute. I wanted to ask him and confirm his affection towards me but I'm paralyzed. I couldn't say anything, I couldn't do anything except stare.

He turned his face to me again and his blush finally died down, he smiled at me. The most genuine one I ever saw and hugged me.

"I don't think I need a reason on why I should love you, I feel like the reason doesn't matter. All that matters is that we both feel the same way."

I hugged him back with a few tears escaping my eyes. I can finally let all this emotion out of my system. I can finally show my real feelings for him. We stop hugging and we both let go of each other, he turned to me and say.

"I love you Alfred, ever since we met. You are the magic spell that made me feel like this."

"You don't know how much I wanted that spell to finally give its effect, I love you too, and I don't need a reason anymore to why I should love you."

The End

A/N: Man, I hope I didn't made them a little OOC, and I hope it wasn't too cringey and short. But anyways, I hope you enjoy this USUK fluffy moment and enjoyed reading it.
