A/N: Yay! I finally took the time to transfer these out of my notebook! Well, enjoy, and don't forget to review!
Friends
They were just friends. Weren't they? Beka wondered that frequently as their relationship drew them closer and closer. They could never be more than just friends, could they?
Enemies
Both Beka and Rosto had enemies. They knew how hard it was. They also hoped that they would never be forced to see each other as enemies, because, when it all came down to it, they knew they would kill each other if they had to.
Being on opposite sides of the law was hard, and it meant just that: one day, they would have to see each other as enemies.
Lovers
All the tales of star-crossed lovers ended in some sort of tragedy. They all said that couples like that were never meant to be. Somehow, Beka and Rosto were determined to prove that wrong.
Family
Family was something important to Beka. After she had made her choice clear, Diona and Lady Teodorie had turned their backs on her. She wasn't even allowed to see her siblings, and she wasn't allowed at the Provost's house but to talk to him. She was hurting and it was up to Rosto to show her that he, Kora, Ersken, Aniki and Phelan were just as much her family as her brothers and sisters, if not more.
Strangers
It was hard for Beka and Rosto to think that once upon a time, they had been strangers, and that he had once tried to bribe her. Thinking about the later part generally brought the line 'she's shy, cabbage head, not stupid' to Beka's mind.
Teammates
During the Spring Games in Corus, Beka and Rosto teamed up in the hand-to-hand competitions. They beat all the other teams. Everyone was talking about how good a team the Terrier and the Rogue were. It was too bad that they were on opposite sides of the law.
Parents
Beka and Rosto seemed to have a problem about parents. Beka's were dead and Rosto's were in Scanra. Well, it wasn't like he really wanted her to meet his parents, since they weren't too happy with their son's choice of occupation. The two just hoped that they could manage to be good parents.
Children
Rosto watched as Beka was tackled by the children who idolized her. She looked up at him, her eyes sparkling. 'Help me,' she mouthed as the mountain of children began to force her to the ground. Rosto just grinned and watched as his love was swallows beneath all of the squalling youngsters.
Birth
When the time came for the birth of their first child, neither Beka nor Rosto was sure that they were entirely ready for it. But, it wasn't like they had a choice at that point.
Death
Beka had known for a long time that death hung over both of them as a constant threat. It wasn't something that she had thought about regularly, and she had most definitely never thought that he would be the one to die first. Rosto wasn't supposed to be able to be beaten.
