Ordinary (adj) - with no special or distinctive features; normal
GaaMiko
Emiko knew that they weren't a normal couple.
They didn't go out for romantic dinner dates. They didn't go on long walks just to be with each other. They didn't sit in a bubble bath until the water got cold. They didn't feed each other food. They didn't share wine or light candles to give the room a romantic atmosphere. They didn't hold hands in public or even act like they were a couple. They didn't cuddle on the couch while they watched movies. They didn't go on picnics or cook together.
They didn't do things normal couples did.
They did, however, know each other inside and out. They did sit together for long hours talking about their days, or not talking at all. They did lock eyes and held entire conversations that way. They did stay awake in the wee hours of the morning just to wait for the other to get home. They did take comfort in knowing that when they got home to their waiting partner that there would be a warm bed full of cuddles and love. They did know what the other meant when they gestured incoherently to describe something even when no one else in the room had a clue what they were talking about.
They did love each other.
Gaara and Emiko may not have been a normal couple, but that's okay. They were happy just the way they were.
Yeah, I know. That was a really sucky ending. I apologize.
