A/N: "Thinking, Drinking, Sinking Feeling" by Slow Club. Yes, it is on that Lays commercial.
"Stick me to you, nature needs no glue"
Thinking, Drinking, Sinking Feeling
They had been plopped together as haphazardly as strangers on a crowded train, complete with polite but awkward how-do-you-dos and impersonal titles. Perhaps their time together as children might have been different had they fathomed the possibility that their acquaintance would last longer than his apprenticeship. Not that such a thing really was much of a possibility-- in most cases, Fate would ensure that unions as dangerous as this one would die young.
However, as Fate had failed to manipulate their feeble puppet strings (after all, one only needed a blade to sever strings), nature saw to it that, as two saplings sprouting in close proximity, they would grow intertwined with one another for eternity.
A/N: Or until someone chops them down for wood and paper. ;D Juust kidding. You should see the hard copy of this. I made so many revisions that it was nearly impossible to read once I was through. I'm still not very happy with the amount of cheese in this one.
Did I say reviews make my day? I meant life.
