You kept dancing around, getting lost in Bender's eyes- I mean the music! Yeah, you were swept up by the music...

Why did you love him so much? This was frustrating. Love was... Frustrating? Ugh none of this makes sense. Well, there's always a first for everything. Snapping yourself out of your own thoughts, you asked Bender a question that had been bothering you for some time:
"Why do you love me?"
"Hmm?"
"Why do you, uh, love me? I mean, I'm not that special, really..." You said, lifting your head away from his shoulder.

"Didn't you already ask me this question?" Bender looked at you.
"Yes, I did, but I didn't get a good enough answer. I... I want to know." You admitted.
"So you want me to list them?"

"There can't be that many!" You blushed.

Bender's POV

Crap. Now what?!

I was dancing the night away with (Y/N). How weak. Not to mention cliché! Then again, she was so beautiful. I got lost in her (E/C) eyes...

Why did I love her so much? This was... frustrating. Sure, I've experienced love before. I am a love machine, pun intended. But this was... Ugh none of this makes sense.

Now she had asked me why I love her. That was such a simple question, yet the answer held so much love and devotion behind it.

I asked her if I should list the things, even though I'm not the type to flatter. Well, I am, but people normally flatter me first. If that makes sense...?

She blushed and said that there couldn't be that many things to list.

Her blush was so adorable. I couldn't help but smile. "Sure, there are plenty." I said casually.

Hold up. Let's pause this scene for a second:

For all of you who don't know me: THIS IS NOT NORMALLY WHO I AM.
Normally, I go out ONLY with robo-women. And I only really judge them by their prettiness.

And also: THIS IS NOT MY MODE OF OPERATION IN TERMS OF EXPRESSING LOVE. Well, that's because I've never loved someone this much before.

Not that I'm saying that (Y/N) isn't pretty! It's just that normally, I only base things on a woman's beauty. I have weird standards, I know.

But (Y/N)... I got to love the inside bits of her, and that's why I love her. I couldn't care less if she was ugly - her personality is what made her shine.

Of course I found myself blurting that last bit aloud. I felt my stomach grow warm. God, I felt like the type of character Hugh Grant always plays in those dumb Rom-Coms. Awkward, handsome, and hopelessly in love with someone.

"R-really?" She stuttered, looking up at me.
"Sure, I guess..." I said, looking away. My panel was definitely red at this point.
She looked away, still in shock. "I... I don't know what to say..." She murmured.

Neither do I, I thought.

She slowly leaned her head in until it was resting on my shoulder again. I didn't tense this time - I was almost relieved. She was so comforting. And she smelled of (F/S). I could stay here with her all night.

Your POV

There you were, Ms. Hopelessly-In-Love. So Bender really loved you that much... You weren't quite sure why you were so shocked to hear his reason. Though you thought you were a pretty crappy person until you met him. You had been hated all your life. And here was a friend who loved you.

"Promise me something."

Bender's POV

"Anything." The word came spilling out. Then I mentally slapped myself. You hopeless excuse for a robot, I told myself.

"Promise me that our new relationship won't ruin our friendship." She said, her voice slightly muffled by my shoulder.

That was a good point to bring up, considering the fact that I normally didn't see any of my ex-es after we were through. But I had never wanted to leave (Y/N)'s side, no matter if I was her boyfriend or her friend or her spouse-

Woah there. Hold your horses there, Bender.

I pushed that thought out of my mind. Though it was nice to think about...

Idiot.

"Wouldn't dream of it." I told her honestly.
She smiled. She seemed pretty reassured.

I hadn't even realized that we had been dancing for the duration of 3 songs. Each was about 4 minutes long so...

"Don't you even think about dipping me."
"What?" I frowned.
(Y/N) lifted her head and looked at me.
"Don't you dare dip me." She reiterated.

An eerie smile crept up my lips.

"I shouldn't have said anything." She face palmed by smacking her head against my shoulder. I laughed. Once she had lifted up her head again, I moved my hand down to her back and dipped her.

She glowered in mock annoyance, but she giggled anyway. "Okay, okay, you've had your fun. Now bring me back up." She chuckled. I brought her back to a standing position.

She grinned as the music ended.

Your POV

You took a step away from Bender and curtsied. "Thank you for this dance." You said over dramatically.

Bender laughed. "No, milady, the pleasure is all mine." You laughed with him. You two were such goofballs. You both walked back to your seats. Your empty dishes were gone - they must've been whisked away by Elzar while you were dancing.

"Told you that you weren't a horrible dancer!" Bender smirked, crossing his arms.
"Whatever ya say." You rolled your eyes.
"Can I get you two any dessert?" Elzar came back outside again.

You glanced at Bender and he nodded.

"I'll have, um, a(n) (F/D)?" You asked.
"Sure thing." Elzar wrote down your choice.
"It'll be out soon." Elzar left to go wait another table.

You grinned. Nothing was better than a(n) (F/D) after the best moment of your life.

A/N

I'm gonna stay up until 1am every night to give you guys updates.
