A/N: Four of five - 150 words. Rebirth and kindness. My original drabble - the one that started it all.
Libero
I watch you, standing there, your arms raised to the heavens and laughing your fear away. You embrace the cold of the rain and the fury of the storm. And I've never seen you so beautiful.
I remember my own awakening. I was born again in the fire. You were born of the storm and the rain. Complete opposites. Different sides of the same coin.
I was cruel to you, but I was cruel to be kind. I see you now, as I have always wished to see you. You captured me the night you asked who I was. But you captivate me now more than ever.
You lift your arms to the rain and laugh away your fear and pain. Lightning splits the sky and you laugh instead of cry.
I was forged in flame. You are shaped by rain.
You had a much kinder rebirth than I did.
