Pairing: Blackinnon
Prompt: "The bottom line is that we never fall for the people we're supposed to."
She hates him.
He hates her.
They aren't good for each other.
He's a heartbreaker.
She is too.
He guards his heart zealously, thinking that letting no one in is better than getting hurt.
She lets people in, but only for a while until she pushes them away.
He has two week flings at the most.
Her longest relationship was six months.
Both came from broken homes.
Both know the bitter feeling of neglect.
Both know the pain of bejng hurt.
They can't fall for each other.
Two broken people can't make a whole.
But they can't help it.
Hidden beneath the surface, underneath all that 'hate' is a fire burning so strong they can't ignore it.
But they want to.
For a broken person to survive, they need someone whole to lean on.
Sirius isn't whole.
Marlene isn't whole.
Why, they ask, did they have to fall so hard for the one person who they were never supposed to be with?
Their relationship is fast, passionate, intense, a rollercoaster of emotions.
She is his drug, as he is hers.
Everyone knows drugs are bad for you, but they take them anyway.
When they fall, when they crash, when they burn, no one will be surprised.
But somehow they manage to survive.
Their flame burns higher than ever, two broken people clinging to each other, desperate to stay alive.
He is no good for her.
She is no good for him.
They aren't supposed to be together.
They aren't supposed to work out.
But somehow, they do.
