Chapter Text
Theirs was an intricate dance. They moved around each other in graceful arcs, at times meeting to touch and at others, drift apart. They spent centuries in orbit, perfectly in time. From an outsider’s perspective, it may appear beautiful, but they would have to watch closely to see the steps for what they were. At the wrong moment, one might mistake the dance for battle: two souls who loathed each other and pushed back against one another. They could spend years nursing grudges, contemplating missteps and damaged pride. But then, after all that, they would inevitably come together, back from fear, anger, frustration, from other songs and other partners. Eventually, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, they fell into step.
