Red meets blue,
forbidden longing, it tells
It can be ignored for now
until hearts burst with desire and love
and skin flamed at a simple, brotherly hug
Love was a forbidden thing for them when felt so strongly
Love was supposed to be the tender feeling between two siblings,
held closely together as they were all they had left
It was not supposed to be the sizzle of a forbidden kiss
or the temptress of a touch
from one to another
It was deigned to be a gentle bond
yet that bond became so much more
It blossomed into a forbidden love affair
led by hidden moments together
Gilbert loved Ludwig,
and he felt the same.
