Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long
“Gravity” by Sara Bareilles

It’s gravity – or not quite gravity, but rather some other unseen force that drives them together like magnets. They snap apart as if repelled and then when they turn even just a sidelong glance back to the other, the connection is made once again. It’s an impossible bond to break from for more than a short period of time. For all their lives it will be a constant.

Eyes meet, warm brown on ocean blue. Smiles form on faces, small and tentative at first and then wider as what they leave unspoken is communicated through looks. He places his hand over hers and then slowly shifts it, entangling their fingers. They are turned upside down,, floating, drifting, and then as quickly as it came the moment ends.

Theirs is a relationship with many such ups and downs.

“You’re gonna be okay, Kate. We’ll have you all healed up and back between my sheets in no time.”

And as with gravity there are two opposing forces.

“Dream on, DiNozzo.”

Their smirks are identical; they are halves who have found their counterpart.

“Oh, you know I will.”
