Random Ramblings - 1
A unique and contrasting relationship.
Short one shot written in haste for the prompt 'Chalk' in the Gabby Drabble Game on the Gibbs/Abby Shippers' Forum
Intending this Random Ramblings series to be a repository for any random ramblings, thoughts, scenes, musings which aren't long enough to be posted separately.
Prompt: Chalk.
Chalk and cheese. Apples and oranges. Silver and ebony. Marine and scientist. Goth and Gunny. Coffee and Caf-Pow! Silence and music.
A man of few words. A woman of many.
Outsiders who didn't know them saw them as incompatible. They thought he was too old for her. Or that she was too young for him. He was merely a replacement father for the one who'd died. And he must see her as a surrogate daughter for the one that he'd lost so many years ago.
All their friends who knew them, however, saw how good they were for each other… how so very right their relationship was.
His presence stilled and calmed her. She relaxed him and made him smile.
He was her focus.
She was his centre.
A partnership… a couple… a team. They held each other together.
What no one but themselves knew was just how compatible they really were. How, in each other, they'd found what the other had been seeking. How they filled an aching void.
A perfect fit... in more ways than one.
How, the first time they'd tumbled into bed together, they'd discovered a lust… a passion... a desire… a love… and an emotional connection that had overwhelmed them both.
It didn't matter how different they were… because together they made a perfect whole.
Yin and Yang.
