“This is how we know that this was love. We left and came back for each other. More than once. More than twice. We tried to go on alone but we could not. Life makes no sense without either one of us.”

Merry Christmas @hoeskookmintz ! Here I am, your very mysterious Secret Santa for @mattelektrasecretsanta! I really hope you like this, I got the feeling most people were doing fic but this is more my style. I thought the quote matched the idea that you always end up with the one that’s meant to be, and tried to include the “favourite mattelektra moments” you sent me.
Anyway, here it is! Hope you had a very happy whatever holiday you celebrate and I wish you a happy new year to you and everyone who took part in the Mattelektra Secret Santa, especially to @fadedtoblue and @significantowl for all the work they put into this!
