Probably an awful thing for me to say, but... I don't. Leaving aside my unfamiliarity with YuGiOh, I'm totally in love with the entire NightLife fusion setting, and, well, Dragon!Kenshin and Sword!Battousai and the Kaoru powerup I can just see waiting in the wings if I squint and... purr. Purr, I say.
As for romance, well, while my view of it makes perfect sense to me, I'm also well aware that it's off from the standard.
...I'm trying to figure out how to explain and it's coming out all jumbled. Sorry.
Um. The very first thing I'd call important about loving another person would be that they are another person, that their identity is their choice... that loving them doesn't mean you own them. The next is that love isn't a zero-sum game. You don't take some away from one person and give it to another - in the first place, it's not as though you can control it anyway, and in the other, they're seperate people... The third is that sex is a completely different subject. The only thing making one imply the other is cultural conditioning.
So, in other words, I think True Love is when you want to fuck your best friend.
Ja, -n (*would've said more, but that was too good an ending line to pass up*)
