They stood there at the top of the cliff, happiness overflowing in their minds.
They'd left their worries and insecurities behind, right at the bottom of the cliff, and everything that mattered most was right there with them, in their hearts.

He was a prankster.
She was a gossip.
He liked attention.
She hated it.
They were just so different from each other that either they could be sworn enemies or star-crossed lovers, and believe it or not, they'd been both.

It was nothing but the truth.
He was the yin to her yang, and that was what brought them closer.

One thing lead to another, and soon the two of them lived in their own fantasy land. They lived their life of ecstasy, as if no one existed besides them.
Fate had brought them together, and each other was what they lived for.

He was Sirius.
She was Marlene.
Being together, forever, was what defined them.
He was Sirius, she was Marlene, and love was what kept the flicker of hope burning in their hearts.
