Something About Them Together - OS/ Drabble

Nandini was the type of girl whose heart was practically falling off her sleeve.

When she laughed, her smiles always reached her eyes. Her heart could also be easily broken and she would suddenly burst into tears on any given occasion. But what could one expect for someone who wore their heart so blatantly on their sleeve. With nothing to protect it, it was bound to get broken at some point.

Manik was the type of boy who kept his troubles, worries and feelings locked up in the deepest depths of his heart.

He wasn't one to talk much about himself. No. He was good at keeping secrets, especially his own. He didn't smile often, but when he did, he lit up like a firework. When his tightly locked safe of secrets reached its full capacity though, it exploded, and what could one expect for someone who kept so much bottled up inside? With no one to vent to and let some of the pressure out, he was bound to fall apart at some point.

Together, the two of them were like fire and ice: he melted and she cooled down.

There was something about Nandini's warm, big, black, doe eyes that caused the icy shell, which Manik had spent years building up around his heart, to melt. When she laced her warm fingers on his, it was as if someone had set fire to the walls encircling his heart. And suddenly, he felt as if he could tell her anything and everything. He could, with ease, give adorable grins that warmed the room.

There was something about her that turned his body temperature up and made his heart feel warm and fuzzy. Nandini Murthy made Manik Malhotra melt and there really wasn't any other way to put it.

There was something about Manik's stormy, brown eyes that made Nandini slow down. Those eyes weren't cold and unfeeling, just troubled. Something about him, heck, even his mere thoughts made her feel safe. Like she could burst into tears or say something stupid, and he won't judge or criticize her. When his strong, refreshingly cool arms held her today, it made her feel like he had pulled her heart right off her sleeve and placed it all too gently within his own beating heart. He would make sure she would never get hurt again.

Something about Manik Malhotra made Nandini a little more temperate. Maybe she had a little too much fire in her heart. It was only a matter of time before she was going to burn herself out. He cooled her down; he stopped her from overheating.

It wasn't something they could control, much to the dismay of their friends. By the time Fab 5 and NH 3 heard of their forbidden romance, he already had her heart, locked up safe and sound while she had him thawed out. Manik was sure the ice would freeze over again if he didn't have her pulled tightly to his side.

There was something about the two that clicked and now that they had it figured out, there wasn't any going back.
