A/N: Haha! An on-time update on this for once! This was another fun set to write, and I'm kind of sad to see that there's only one more of these sets left before the end of Undeniable. But, it was fun while it was going on. So, enjoy...

Dark

She could always see the darkness in Rosto, the darkness that the Rogue created. Even when they were alone, and he was happy, the darkness still touched him somehow. Whether it was in the lines that appeared on his face, or in something in his eyes when he spoke of the Rogue, she could always see the shadows. That was shy she took it upon herself to dispel some of that darkness.

Light

Beka was his light. It was so simple. To him, she was the greatest light in the world. She was a Dog; she caught the Rats who did wrong, and yet, she loved him, the Thief-King. Without Beka, Rosto's world would be dark and cold. With her, though, he was happy, there was no darkness that scarred him when he had her.

Lost

When she came home one night with a line of bruises above her gorget where someone had tried to cut her throat, Rosto really lost it. The ensuing argument over Beka being a Dog resulted in both being absolutely furious with the other.

Found

After about two weeks of refusing to speak to each other, Beka and Rosto were both having a hard time keeping it up. Both of them were lonely, and both were in horrible moods about the whole thing. They had found that they couldn't live without each other, for all their faults and stubbornness.

Missing

Without Rosto in her life, there was something missing. Whenever another cove tried to kiss her, Beka could tell that there was something different. There was no spark, no passion like there was in Rosto's kisses. It seemed that Beka Cooper and Rosto the Piper were meant to be together… No matter what happened…

Choices

It still amazed Beka sometimes that Rosto had chosen her of all people. He had his choice of any doxy in the whole City, many of which she considered to be far more beautiful than herself. Yet, despite that, and every reason he shouldn't, he loved her anyway.

Life

Through their life together, they had seen many things; they had done things that most people thought was stupid or ridiculous, or even reckless. Nobody who knew them could say that life with the Rogue and the Terrier was dull…

He

He was dead. Not quiet literally, but Beka was mad enough to make him wish he was. He was going to be sleeping alone for at least a week for this!

She

Even when she was angry with him, every time Rosto looked at Beka, he remembered something his mother had told him. She had said that he would know who he was meant to spend his life with when he saw her. Every time he looked at Beka, he saw that she was the one.

It

Beka couldn't help laughing at the ridiculous look of (almost mock) shock and outrage on Rosto's face when Ersken called Rosto's flute an 'it' instead of a 'she.' Rosto was so finicky sometimes that it was funny. Not to mention, Beka loved being able to tease him.
