I asked my friend to give me the first 25 words he thought of randomly. I then put up a 1-liner for MartinxAlena. Here you go:
Hope:
Alena always held out hope that Martin would warm up to her eventually.
Ice:
Martin was like a glacier. He was cool and steady and almost always dependable and irrevocably there.
Fire:
Alena was like fire. He was warm and kind, but had the ability to burn someone to cinders – the perfect contrast to his Ice.
Defense:
She would never forget the knife he took for her.
Gratitude:
He would never forget the way she helped drag his butt back to The Hall.
Heaven:
There was nowhere he would rather be than with her – even if he wouldn't admit it to anyone.
Memory:
She shouldn't have done it, but he remembers how she kissed him.
Red:
It was what Martin saw when Chris' goons insulted Alena.
Kick:
Martin held the icepack to his groin and swore he was never tutoring Alena in self defense again, even if the kick had been an accident.
Waiting:
Even as Martin was on Nihran, Alena vowed to wait for him.
Stars:
She would sometimes look at the sky and wonder which one, if any, was the sun of Nihran and, inevitably, Martin.
Abandoned:
Alena wouldn't forgive the other Tzen for saying that Martin had abandoned them when he was fighting to save them.
Multitasking:
Martin stared at the sky, wondering which star was the sun… and at the same time wondered how Alena was doing… and prayed Chris wasn't messing with her.
Gray:
She loved how his eyes used to look before his transformation – the color of smoke.
Cat:
Martin, for some reason, reminded her of a cat – independent, feisty, arrogant and sometimes just a jackass.
Relaxation:
Martin found it was easy to relax when Alena was around, but impossible when she wasn't.
Stripes:
Alena snickered at the image Jason conjured when he mentioned Martin having a yellow stripe on his back… right before she slapped him for being an ass.
Hero:
He was hers
Lurking:
Even with the constant threat of the Zerolytes, Alena couldn't help but visit the gate where Martin had disappeared.
Obsession:
The Tzen accused her of being obsessed with Martin, and they were partly right.
Baggage:
Martin had more than a train station, and it was something that saddened Alena
World:
When Martin had watched Alena fall into the shaft, his world had almost ended.
Melody:
Whenever she heard classical music, she would always think of the dance they had shared.
Family:
The Tzen were both her family and Martin's… even if he stood on the outside as if he weren't.
Pain:
When the other Tzen spoke of Martin in the past tense as though he were dead, Alena felt her heart hurt in unimaginable ways at the thought.
