A/N: Yes, I know it's been forever and a half, but I was burdened with those horrid things called finals. Actually, I'm happy because I got a 100 on my Spanish final, which is cool, cos I'm so very white. Lols. Ha. So enjoy this drabble before I talk your ears off.

Contrast

She looks up at the stars and whispers in awe, So beautiful and yet so tiny.

He looks up at the stars and hisses, I'm so miniscule compared to our expansive universe.

She's trapped in a crowd and thinks, I'll stand out among these faces.

He's trapped in a crowd and muses, I'm just another faceless person in this world.

She sees someone in trouble and says, I'll do whatever I can to help.

He sees someone in trouble and growls to himself, Why bother when he'll just fall down again.

She sits at the beach and ponders, The ocean is amazing with its sense of pull. A beautiful gift from Mother Earth.

He sits at the beach and ponders, The ocean is so controlling with its forceful push. A destructive force of nature.

She looks into his onyx eyes and promises to herself, Maybe if I try harder, he'll let me past those pesky defenses.

He glares into her sapphire orbs and hopes to himself, Maybe if I try harder, she'll leave me alone.

Because 'Opposites Attract' was too over used, she called their relationship the force of the ocean. Her a gentle pull. Him a rough push.

Because 'Opposites Attract' was too annoying an explanation, he called their relationship the phenomena of the stars. She the gentle glow that was oft found reassuring. He the darkness the stars encompassed, filled with her light.

They were more than just opposites. They were something special, though neither liked to admit it. Where she would have troubles, he would excel. And where he left off, she would pick up.

Maybe her pride and maybe his coldness is what keeps them apart.

Maybe her surety of her place in the world and his act of being a loner is what keeps them apart.

Maybe it's the white in her heart and black in his. No gray. No faded lines.

But, it's more than 'Opposites Attract'.

It's a beautiful contrast.
