Here it is!
Love
Written on 21th of September, 2013.
Ah, love. A very intense emotion that we all like to feel.
Even for those who haven't experienced love in their entire lives. Somehow, every heart longs for that feeling.
Love actually has a long history, and to cut it short, love is essential for survival. We're not going to go further into that because it is indeed a proven fact. Babies, without the love and care from their parents will not survive and even if they do, they will fare bad. Basically, love is what keeps us going.
It's very easy and also near impossible to tell if you're in love or not because the more advanced we get, the complicated things become. Not necessarily bad, but could have been better. Then, it's about your genes being different and they match up or you smell 'interesting', but now, it doesn't matter if you smell like dirty gym socks if you're wallet's fat with cash. And credit cards.
Or if you act like an total asshole but you look like those baddies in animes. Love, an emotion we once hold in high regard is now not more than selfishness, to bend others to your will so you'll get what you want. It's truly, truly sad.
But, there are a few rare cases of true love (no, not like the ones you see in TV), in which cases all that matters is the inside, and only the inside. Such cases are indeed extremely rare nowadays, but yes, they still exist.
Now, the symptoms of falling in love are pretty obvious yet subtle. Like, hearing that person's voice makes you happy, a simple poke makes you smile, and a good morning text from them makes you beam all day. What they say and their opinions actually matters personally, and you treasure each pointless conversation just for the sake of memory.
Really, just the thought of said person makes you happy and content. And because of this reason, we want it so intensely we will feel all sad and depressed if we don't. Being in love does increase dopamine levels in your brain, and it is a proven fact.
But that's not the main point. Love is when you want the other person to be happy even if it means you can't be happy, doing things you don't like for them, willing to risk everything just for their sake and only their sake. The idea is you are willing to do whatever it takes for them to be happy and live a joyful life, even if it means that your own is the exact opposite.
Sacrifice.
Yes, that's it. It's the only form of torture we really love to do.
And, I think that is the case with our dear friend Daniel Fenton with his older male counterpart, and vice versa.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Yep, ever noticed why the story is 'finished' in 29 chapters instead of 30? I skipped day 12 and changed the prompt into this because welp... if writing fluff made me awkward and tingly here and there, imagine writing something kinky! D:
So enjoy this sweet substitute! :D
Thanks again for everyone! I'll see you guys next time!
Until then!
