Author's Note: 100-word challenge drabble written for Idgiebay. I'm surprised at how easily this one came out, especially considering how unorthodox the pairing is. Yes, I shamelessly stole from our old RP but she likes it. I also did a kinda funky stylized thingy… whatever. She likes that, too! Honest! Right. Cheers all!
Note2: Edited 05/18/09. Changed from past to present tense, cleaned it up slightly. No plot/story elements changed.

Simple
by, Caliente

It starts with a simple exchange.

Comics are shared. Junk food is consumed. Jokes are made. An understanding is reached.

Before either realizes, a friendship is formed.


It starts with a simple conversation.

Powers are displayed. Measurements are made. Bets are waged. Fun is had by all.

Before either realizes, an attraction is formed.


It starts with a simple accident.

Risks are taken. A kiss is stolen. Showers are negotiated. More kisses are freely given.

Before either realizes, a relationship is formed.


Now things aren't so simple anymore. They both realize it and neither would have it any other way.
