            The question ‘Why’ has always been of utmost importance to the human. After all, without the word ‘why’, philosophers and psychiatrists would be, if not out of work, at least in diminished supply.

            Of course, leaving why to those vaunted experts can be daunting, but Red doesn’t really feel that way. He loves to learn, and he loves asking why. Such as ‘Why is that Butterfree a pink color instead of blue’, or perhaps ‘Why is Bruno being such a prick?’ Questions relating to pokemon training are quite fun, and Lance is only too happy to sit in the library with him for hours on end, poring through encyclopedias and smiling.

            There is one answer to ‘Why’ that Red knows very well though. He knows exactly why Lance keeps him company.

            Because when you’re in love, you’re nice to each other. And to keep up his end of the bargain, after Red gets tired of staring at print, they go swimming and splash each other in an impromptu game of water tag.

            That leaves people to wonder why two such vastly different people can be together.

            Well, something needs to be speculative after all!

            Red just beams when people ask.

Darou = Why, What for?

Such as… why does this fic sound like I’m writing an essay for my Psych 1 class? (And this, authors, is why writing fic and assignments at the same time can sometimes get confusing!)
