like fire and gasoline

by I.Hope.You.Dance.7

Luke is fire; bright, destructive, and oh-so-addictively untouchable. The whole town knows it- and has always hoped for a good girl to calm him down. Selena is gasoline; indignantly silent until you decide to light her up. She's never needed anyone-especially a guy like him. Nobody expected them to fit together- not even themselves.

Struggle- 'tug of war of love'

Chase had emerged Luke in a tug of war- and Selena was in the middle.

"Selena, I need your help with something."

"Selly, come here!"

"Selena, I need you!"

Selly! Selly, Selly!"

Luke could tell that both bar folk were getting annoyed, but he couldn't stop- he had to win this fight for Selena, even if she didn't like either of them right now.

"What do you want, Luke?"

"You," he responds, fearless as anything.

She laughs, and his shoulders slump, "What you want me for?"

"It doesn't really matter, as long as I have you. Don't you know that's all I want?"

"All you want?" Her eyes grow wide. "Luke, don't be ridiculous."

He sighed. Is that all she thinks of me?

"Selena!" Chase's sharp voice calls. "Your break's over!"

Selena gives him an apologetic look, and all his frustration disappeared.

This may be a struggle, but it's worth it.
