Emotions Between Two Entwined Souls

'Love', 'Hate', 'Anger', 'Loneliness', 'Serenity'. Len and Rin are two halves of the same whole, tied by the red thread of fate. 100 100-500 word drabbles for LenXRin, of all types. Twincest, noncest, friendship, etc. Rated T for suggestive situations and some language.

They weren't sure how exactly it happened.

One minute they're the best of friends, hanging out, playing games, talking and laughing happily with big smiles, their relationship uncomplicated and easy. The future was bright with possibility, and they knew they'd always be together to share it. That's all there was to it.

Then, it just… started. Simple at first, gradual, the symptoms of their mutual, unknown feelings slow at first, then increasing with time. A building rollercoaster that, at the end of the frightening ride, would lead them to the comfort of each other.

Smiles with more emotion than normal. Laughter with an edge. Hidden jealousy, pounding hearts, confused thoughts, light touches that sent their pulse racing through their veins without them knowing why. It was terrifying, but it was also amazing. It took them a while to identify the truth, but eventually they did, and the discordant melodies from their two hearts finally became a beautiful, harmonized song of pure warmth and affection.

Finally, they voiced their realized feelings aloud, ending the confusion and letting their hearts sing loudly for the person who they promised to always cherish..

"Hey, Rin?"

"Yeah, Len?"

"I love you."

"I love you, too."
