You're not perfect, that's why I love you-China

"Wang Yao, let's go get some candy! Please, please, please!" You beg childishly, tugging his right arm's sleeve just as eager as both of you walked down one of Wang Yao's many Chinatown areas. It had been so long since the two of you had spent any sort of time together, seeing as he's also known as China, meetings kept him away from you seemingly everyday. So you couldn't help but feel overly excited about your current date, giggling like a young little girl.

Yes, some say you're childish. But to you, you're nothing more than a happy person, or maybe a kid at heart. Either way, you found being cheerful far more appealing than being a complete stick in the mud. It made people wonder how you ever started such a long time relationship with the wise Chinese man.

He was mature, you were playful. He preferred old styled art, you prefer having fun in arcades. Those thoughts crossed your mind here and there, making you realize just how grateful you are to him. He's known for only wanting things to go his way, yet with you, he hardly questioned you once. He took care of you, even though you could be so childish from time to time. Of course, he's voiced a few complaints over the years, but has never tried changing you. For that, you were greatly appreciative. Appreciative that he accepted your juvenile ways.

"Fine, but after that, we're taking a rest, aru. Come, let's hurry, aru." Wang Yao said with a tired sigh. You wondered if it had something to do with his old age, even though his appearance looked barely older than you. That was also something people were amazed by. Your age difference was so far apart, even you felt slightly flabbergasted when finding out how much older he was compared to yourself.

But age didn't really matter, for he was such a nice man. He seemed insecure at times, but you'd always remind him of how much he meant to you. And, that no number could ever change your feelings for each other. You had even told him of how you'll someday be over four thousand years old, and shall still love him. Of course, that may not happen since you're only a small island near Taiwan, but even so, it didn't dare change the fact you loved him immensely.

After you happily ate your sweet treats Wang Yao had, somewhat reluctantly, bought. You both made your way towards a nice spot that had a clear view of the sunset. You skipping along cheerfully, while he walked at a slower pace.

Now, as you were both sitting next to each other on a midnight black bench, you stopped listening to his lectures of healthy eating. Your thoughts soon drifted back as to why he's in a actual relationship with you. You were beautiful, yes, but not a super model look alike. You were kind of lazy, clumsy, and had your ditzy moments. He, in your eyes, was completely perfect. Looks, mind, talents, everything he did was flawless. Which sparked your curiosity, wondering why he'd be with someone who had their fair share of faults.

But when you think about it, you were content knowing you weren't perfect. You had friends, family, and somebody amazing to love, perfection was something you could definitely live without. But...did he feel the same way? Even if you weren't perfect, you loved him more than any perfectionistic could ever hope to dream of. And yet, your heart throbbed painfully in your chest at the mere thought he'd leave you for someone better. To the point, slight tears were beginning to form rather quickly into your (Eye Color) orbs.

"Wang Yao..." You whisper quietly, gaining his attention. At first, he didn't seem to notice your tears until one slipped slowly down your left, flushed cheek. His own Amber colored irises increased in size, worry filling them soon after. Before he had the chance of asking what's wrong, you continue speaking.

"I love you, so much. You've always stuck by me, even when I do the most immature things. I'm not beautiful like most girls, I'm not a total genius, I sometimes am a ditz. But..." You smile sadly, tears now pouring softly as you take hold of his hands.

"I love you...wait, that's a lie." You notice the considerable amount of pain darkening his taken aback eyes, though it changed to a look of hurt confusion when you began lightly giggling. "I honestly, truly, really love you. I'm so grateful for the things you've done for me, putting up with my childish ways."

"Thank you, for being with someone like myself. Knowing you could easily have anyone else besides me. I'll do my best to return the favor, I swear. But please know, I love you dearly. I know I'm not-" Before you could finish your woeful sentence, your words were stolen by his swift kiss. It caused your eyes to widen, but not for long as they slowly closed to join him in the sweetening kiss.

Pulling back, he gave you a disappointing gaze. You sniffled, thinking you had done something wrong again. Yet when he began kissing your tears away, did you let out a chocked sob. He held both sides of your face, lifting his head gently so he'd be able to make eye contact. You were beyond shocked when he tenderly caressed your cheek bones, a small smile tugging at his lips.

He isn't one for public display of affection, the least you could ever get from him was hand holding, so why is he being so...loving, perhaps that was the right word? Although, there weren't many people wandering near at your current location. A tiny gasp escapes from your pink lips, feeling him leaning lower, he let's his forehead rest against yours as his thumbs drew soothing circles softly.

"You truly are foolish, aru. Understand, that those are the reasons why I love you, aru. Although, to me, you're more beautiful than those fake women, aru. Those flaws are what make you perfect (Name), because they make you who you are, aru. Honestly, I wonder why you bother with someone who's age is so far from your own, I actually believe you're too wonderful for me, aru." He chuckles, causing you to let out a small giggle.

"I'm not perfect, not a soul on this planet is (Name,) aru. I have my flaws as does everyone else, so do not believe I'm any different, aru. I wish for you to be the person I love, nothing more, nothing less, aru. But don't say things such as that, you're special to me, can you not realize that, aru? Now, stop those tears, aru." His lips lift upward, creating a rare, soft smile that had you smiling just as sweet.

"We're different, yet not, aru. It doesn't matter rather you're perfect or not, just being you is amazing as it is, aru." He pulls you closer, wrapping you into a warm embrace. You eagerly return the affectionate gesture, burying your face into his upper chest. "Don't ever think I don't love you, because not even the definition of 'love' could come close to my feelings for you, aru."

You smile, soon grinning happily. He didn't have time to think when you suddenly wrapped your own arms around his neck rather tightly, laughing joyfully. "Yay! I knew we both loved each other! I feel the same way, so don't you go doubting that, okay?" He couldn't answer since you literally hopped out of his arms, bringing him along with you, your laughing getting mixed with his protesting as you begun dragging him with you towards the main event.

You didn't notice how late it really was until your sight had been temporarily blinded by the brightness of golden lights shining throughout the large town to assure no darkness was seen. Which reminded you of what Wang Yao had told you earlier before coming. Fireworks were to be displayed over a large sized lake near the end of Chinatown. Luckily, you both weren't far from that exact place.

In a matter of minutes, you found yourself standing in front of a beautiful lake that glowed luminously as the moonlights shined upon it. Soon, you were in even more awe when the first few fireworks shot through the night sky, glimmering before more were fired.

Watching them excitedly, you felt arms slither around your waist. Giggling, you tilt your head upward to see Amber orbs staring into your glinting irises. You press your lips quickly to his, catching sight of his little blush in the process, before leaning most of your weight onto him. He was about to scold you for doing something so inappropriate when others might be watching, but seeing your joyful smile, putting those fireworks to shame, he simply holds you closer. Both thinking the same thing as the last, heart shaped firework brightens the star filled night.

My growing love belongs only to you, I shall demonstrate it everyday. I see, you're not perfect, and that's why I love you. I give you all my love, hopefully, that will forever be enough.
