Title: Sharing Secrets
Rating: G
Summary: It's something between the two of them; something that makes secrets... happen.
----
"So my secret's safe with you," he says, throwing a mock salute. She grins."Yes sir."
The only thing is, it isn't. One day she'll be tempted to betray it, to give it away and ease the awful burden resting on her too-slender shoulders. She can take saving the world, but keeping this was impossible.
Two can keep a secret if one is dead, and the problem was that she isn't planning on dying any time soon.
And hopefully he isn't either.
So she's trying to keep his secret, and prays that she never buckles under the weight.
Imagine how surprised she is when she finds out that sharing that secret with him actually helped to lift the pressure off her.
