No reason

Description

Little sketch I did of one of my favourite anime/manga pairings: Shiro & Mephisto from Ao No Exorcist.
I intend to make a fancy, full-coloured version sometime soon.

Inspired by SolaceBeneathSilence's wonderful fanfic "The End of the Beginning".
Read it. It's amazing.

For those who can't read my handwriting (which is rather awful):

"...Something wrong?"
"Yeah. I like you."
"That is understandable, I am a very likeable person."
"Pheh, yeah right... I'd like to think it's all your fault. That you somehow manipulated me to... Which you probably did, to some extend. But I know that isn't it. At least not completely.
I like you, and I just can't pinpoint the reason WHY."
"Maybe there is no reason."
"But I want there to be one."
"Pfehehe... And you say you don't understand religious people..."

*EDIT:  Shiro is supposed to be rather young here (he's 19/20 in the fanfic right now). I gave him his regular coat and scarf to be a bit more recognizable, but no wrinkles or beard... Goatee... Stubble thing yet :P

The kind of dialogue I wish I could slow my head down enough write. x') No, not trying to be nice. I wish I could condense and distill concepts like that. Delectable mixture of teasing and philosophy in Mephisto's "Maybe there is no reason", and that piercingly human undertone in "But I want there to be one." So much of human nature in one simple sentence. And Mephisto sees it perfectly well.

Mind if I base a dialogue off this one, some day when Shiro is older and (maybe) wiser?
