Grand Staff

by shadocoon

"When music on two staves is joined by a brace, or is intended to be played at once by a single performer Grand Staff is created." This will be a collection of short and mostly abstract SoMa drabbles as I attempt to better understand the bond that exists between the two. Each piece will be named after and loosely connected to music terminology.

2. Crescendo

AN: The second installment of Grand Staff. It's not my favorite, but this is more of an experiment.

Crescendo coming from the term that means "gradually increase"

They started off as partners. Friendship would follow. As their lives increased in speed and volume their relationship would follow. Souls further entwining, hearts beating in time. Neither can remember the first time they held hands. Nor can they remember the reason why. They don't keep count of how many times they've saved each other. From an enemy or from failing yet another test. They remember the first time they slept together. They were both fully clothed, not touching. Uncomfortable at first, they eased into the comfort and warmth that could keep the demons away.

There have been no revelations or epiphanies. They have merely traveled a natural course. They are more. More than peers or friends. More than man and woman or weapon and Meister. He is her ground and she is his sky, his sanity. Forever intertwined and coexisting as small changes build upon one another. Gradually and slowly building in volume and amounting to something more than they were before.
