Second, yes it is a strange basis. I just got the idea.
Third- strangely, I already have the first chapter written. I suppose I'll put it up after I reread it once or twice. I like it much better than the prologue anyway -.-; Its very close to the scene I originally thought of that brought up this story. The prologue just feels like a ramble. Speaking of rambling… well, enjoy.
Prologue"I swear to God," the whispers went, "they've got some kind of doped-up psychic bond or something! All they gotta do is look at each other and bam they know."
"I dunno, it seems kinda-"
"Impossible? Yea! But did ya ever actually watch them?"
Cloud and Leon were, yes, a school anomaly. Their apparently latent psychic powers were regarded as a wonder, and often talked about by those with little else to talk about- it was always the same couples breaking up and getting back together and breaking up, and as usual the football team and cheerleading squad made a messy soap opera.
However, as that was not mysterious at all, attention stayed on Leon and Cloud.
It annoyed both of the anti-social youths greatly, and when they passed by some of the rumor-mill members, their stance shifted at almost the same moment. They had it down to a science.
And as nearly no one noticed, that was exactly what their 'psychic bond' was. A science.
The exact knowledge of each other's body language, and an eventually developed series of signs they used with each other.
It was so- tiring, to try to communicate with words, when it always felt that the pain of the years past was blocking them. How do you say how something hurts? And it took so much effort to go up to someone and say 'I feel so wrong.' It only made sense that they would stay around each other when words were not needed to express something so simple and yet so hard at once.
