It is a fine line between brotherhood, friendship, partnership, and love.
Where do we stand?
We are inseparable, bound by the Sennen Puzzle, two minds in one body. One of us will always be in spirit form while the other in control, invisible to all except each other. One of us will always be known as the nameless Pharaoh until we discover the memories, one of us as the bully magnet until we met. However, that does not matter. None of it does. As long as we stay connected, things are fine.
But still, where do we stand?
While we will always have that 3,000 year gap between us, we most likely do not differ by a few months. Maybe we even share the same birthday. It is unfair to say that one of us is wiser than the other; we are both still learning, drawing experiences from the world, from those around us, from each other. We have taught and been taught so much. We have covered each other’s backs endless times. We co-habit, look alike...how can we blame people, who have witnessed both sides of this body, when they describe us as siblings - brothers, twins?
Our continuous, silent support, companionship, sharing of burdens - it is hard to decide if we are simply platonic friends, or something more.
Have we, perhaps, already crossed the fine, invisible line separating us from taking our friendship one step further? Or are we still hovering by the grey area, waiting for some kind of sign? We do not take the time to ponder over it, and really, how can we possibly do so when our lives and the rest of the world are constantly being threatened?
It is a disappointment that such difficult-to-place matters are not in terms of black and white.

Authoress Notes: As a Puzzleshipper I of course stand by the fact that they’ve ‘crossed the line’ already, but it’s really up to you. ;P
And because there won’t be an update next week, here’s an advanced Happy Thanksgiving! I have waited way too long for this long weekend, and I have to spend it studying/working on my projects. WHY, UNI.
