Romance Novels- SethxEirika

“So how come all the books you read are written by women?”  Eirika tapped the cover of Tana’s latest read.  “I mean, if the whole point of these things is to talk about men, then wouldn’t a more…I don’t know, realistic view come from men?”

Tana rolled her eyes.  “Then it wouldn’t be romantic.”

“But that’s like saying men aren’t romantic.  These things give us unrealistic expectations.”

“I don’t think they’re unrealistic.”  Tana folded her arms.

“Any man who would wait for a woman for…”  Eirika paused to scan the back cover, “Five years is unrealistic.  No man is always going to…oh, remember anniversaries, or always be attentive, or…”  She narrowed her eyes.  “What’s that look for?”

“Did you become this blind or were your born with it?”

“What do you mean?”

Tana sighed.  “Oh come on.  Seth.  You must have noticed.”

In spite of herself, Eirika blushed.  “Tana, it’s just your imagination.  He’s not-“

“Oh right.  He doesn’t always happen to be watching you when he thinks nobody’s looking.  He doesn’t always agree to spar with you, even when he’s tired or-“

“Tana.”  Eirika’s face was now a deep shade of red.

Tipping her head back so she was staring at the sky, Tana sighed again.  “If he wrote a romance novel, I’d read it.”
