Title The Ionic Bond of Sodium and Chlorine

Pairing NaCl
Warnings It's yaoi/slash. I just couldn't picture Na or Cl being female. Also, um..PG-13 for some...ionic bonding action.

Obviously, this is not the time for velvet prose.

A Chlorine atom floated about in yellow and green, badly wanting to bond. Chlorine had always been regarded as highly toxic and unstable, but that hadn't stopped him from attempting to bond with every other element. However, he had never really been able to find his opposite charge- his remaining part of it's electron shell.

He had tried bonding with Hydrogen, who looked small but was readily willing to give it up to anyone who asked, even managing to exist by getting some in diatomic form. But that had only fueled the corrosiveness of their relationship. For no matter how stable their concentrations,  they could only be ions, and as soon as someone tried to dissolve the two, Hydrogen would be the first to go and easily soluble.

One day, Chlorine spotted Sodium. Chlorine couldn't ignore Sodium's lustrous, silvery white sheen and seemingly ductile structure- the attraction was pulling them together. He floated over to the other atom and whispered, "I know we're from the opposite sides of the periodic table, but make an ionic bond with me, and we'll both be happy atoms."

That night, Sodium's nucleus trembled in excitement as his sub-shells were exposed under Chlorine's unwavering gaze.

"I've never made an ionic bond before", he murmured breathlessly, "I've only ever been diatomic- you know, um, with myself-" His words were cut off as their quarks were exposed- up, down, strange, top, charm, and bottom. With a spasm of exothermic heat and lattice energy, the speed of the bonding increased and the last steps of the bond fitted into place, and Sodium's gave up all too willingly his valence electron to Chloride.

Beneath the photons of alpha and beta particles streaming from the sun, a newly formed compound emerged as crystalline table salt.

Y/N? Cmnts? Suggestions for improvement?
