Silence.

Nothing.

Not a sound, not a breath, not a word.

It was deafening.

Blue and green, mixing, melding into the perfect shade of an unbroken

Stare.

She sat.

He stood.

Hearts pounding, but neither could hear the other's-

Just their own.

The dreaded words had been spoken, the taboo on them broken.

It wasn't supposed to be this way.

They wanted this, oh God help them, they wanted this-

But they couldn't. They shouldn't, so they wouldn't.

Never would it work, so never would they try.

So, it ended as it started.

Silence.

Nothing.

Not a sound, not a breath, not a word.

It was deafening.

Blue and green, mixing, melding into the perfect shade of an unbroken

STARE.

AN: Cookies to whoever guesses the two people, and NO I did not genderbend. That should make it easier for you to guess the girl, but it could be any of the guys, with blue eyes, but I had one in mind when I was writing this. Good luck!
