Prologue:
How did it come to this?
A simple touch would have been meaningless before. One would have shrugged it off, the other laughing at the attitude given to him. It was always like this between them. There was nothing more than acquaintance, annoyance, and sometimes friendliness. How that came about was beyond them...but it was there, no matter how many times they had come together to spar, to fight...whatever they wound up doing.
Somehow, through some sick twist of fate, at least to one, if not both, they always seemed to pair off at the oddest times and under extreme circumstances. Many fights...many battles. All countless but they always met and fought as one on various occasion. Sharing one body one could learn many things about the other and it goes both ways.
Never did they mention what they had found out about the other. Even if there was a deeper bond neither really wished to acknowledge. When one had found out how hard life had been for his smaller counterpart, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him. But he didn't want pity. So he never gave him any.
Somehow...they had gotten closer unknowingly. Now they met every other day, whether it be to practice, which was the case mostly. And on rare occasions, like today, They sat and talked which is something they would never reveal to the others.
Monday...
That's where it started.
