Warm. Caring and kind. Deep brown, matching her sweet face to a tee. They spoke a thousand words. "I won't judge you. Just be yourself. You can trust me. Please do." Curious and innocent. Naïve. Jumped to conclusions. In a way, helpless. Very strong, brave. But, yes, helpless.
Gold. While the other spoke a thousand words, this spoke a thousand emotions. Cold. Rigid. Smart. Smart enough to know when a chance of a lifetime opened before him. But foolish. Enough to let go of that precious glimmer of hope. Agony. A heart ripped in half in front of his eyes would've been nothing to him. Loneliness. Left alone to face the cruel, black world. Others surrounded him, and passed him by. He stayed rooted there, unable to move along with the current. Known nothing but the dark sins of humanity. And even that was miles away. Isolated, from his own kind, from everything.
But no longer. The loneliness was a shell peeled off and left alone. When their eyes met, sparks flew. Static crackled in the air. A glance, and stars shone. The gods smiled upon them, unknowingly giving them a heavenly gift, wrapped in sinister lust. The laws of attraction can't be resisted. And both knew that.
And so, they stopped struggling. They gave in. And joined together as one. Two pieces of one whole, the other entirely dependent on the other.
A small price to pay for love.
