1. Love
Love was an emotion that Yin was more open to than Yang, mostly because Yin was also easier to get along with, while Yang preferred to keep to himself.
2. Hate
Yang wouldn't really say that he "hated" Derek, he just wished that the bastard would fall into an open pit and die.
3. Rain
Derek loved the rain and often stood out in it during a down pour. Yang thought this was completely ridiculous.
4. Fear
Having to share one body between two souls was a little frightening. Yin and Yang had been together since birth and the thought that one day one of them could disappear was terrifying.
5. Empty
For Yin, the glass was half full, for Yang, half empty, and for Derek, it was half full except on Monday's.
6. Fall
D: "If you ever fall, I'll catch you, okay?"
YA: "I don't fall."
D: "I know, I'm just throwing that out there. You know, just in case."
YI: "He's not listening anymore."
D: "Yeah I know."
7. Open
The easiest way to tell the two souls apart was by which eye was open. If it was the blue eye on the left side, Yin was the one controlling the body. If it was the yellow one on the right, Yang was in control. If both eyes were open, it was impossible to tell who was in control until they said something.
10. Close
Yang didn't like being close to anyone, physically or emotionally. The only person he cared about was Yin and that's how he wanted it to stay, but Derek was freaking ruining it.
11. Climb
For Derek, the climb to success had been short and sweet. He'd gotten to the top within a few short years and was having a great time where he was. His downfall, however, looked like a twenty year old boy, hair half white and half black, one blue eye and one yellow eye, who seemed to be bipolar and talked to himself a lot.
12. Fire
Yin was like water; soft, gentle and beautiful but dangerous if upset. Yang was like fire; safe to view from a distance but would burn if you ventured too close.
13. Pain
Yin didn't deal with pain well, so Yang often took over if he was injured or if someone was picking in them for their odd looks. In the latter's case, the other person was the one who was going to feel the pain.
14. Pleasure
Derek's guilty pleasure was watching the two talk to each other. They were able to easily go about with whatever they were doing smoothly while switching control back and forth seamlessly. Anyone else who viewed them would quickly assume it was one person talking to himself.
15. Smile
Yin smiled often and it was always a lovely sight. Yang didn't smile as much and when he did it was usually small, but Derek loved it none the less.
16. Cry
When Yin cried, Yang would allow Derek to hold him, if only because Yang could not physically comfort his other half himself.
17. Toy
Yang's scythe was not a toy. Too many often realized this too late.
18. Happy
Derek was happiest when Yang was happy. If Yang was happy, then Yin could curl up on the couch next to Derek and they could all watch TV together.
19. Scar
Being two people in one body left a bit of a mental scar. Yin could not function without Yang and Yang was very overprotective of Yin.
20. Angel
If Yin was the angel, then Yang was the demon, and Derek was just a measly human that had fallen in love with both.
21. Song
Being a musician in a successful band had allowed Derek to write all sorts of songs. His most recent inspiration was his new boyfriend and he found it was very difficult to write a song that discribed him exactly.
22. Chain
Yin and Yang always had been and always would be chained together. This was fine with them though, they'd learned how to move together.
23. Dance
Dancing wasn't something Yang was into. He had to agree, however, when one of Derek's band's songs came on the radio and the blonde man offered him his hand.
24. Night
Yin was like the night; soft, quiet, feminine and a little mysterious.
25. Day
Yang was like the day; harsh, loud, strong and hot-tempered.
26. Fool
Derek knew he was a fool for trying to love two people at the same time, even though they were physically one person, and especially since one of them didn't seem to like him in the least.
27. Whisper
In the darkness of the bedroom, Derek would whisper lovely things to the smaller body next to him. Yin would often whisper them back, but, very rarely, Yang's voice would be the one replying with something nice.
28. Shout
When Yang got angry he would shout, yell and throw a loud fit. One day, when Derek told him that was childish, he was promptly kicked out of the house and not allowed back in for three days.
29. Paralyzed
Sometimes when Yang would stare at him, Derek would become paralyzed at the look in his eyes. It would only last a few seconds before completely disappearing and being replaced with annoyance, but Derek knew it was there. He never knew if it was good or bad though.
30. Break
Yin was soft and easy to break. Yang, however, was like diamond. For Yin's sake, he swore he would never break.
31. Stuck
Yin and Yang never considered themselves stuck together. Fate had simply decided they were meant to be together, and that was fine with them.
32. Habit
Yang had a habit of swinging at anyone who touched him. It was a habit that Derek was determined to break.
33. Listen
Yin was a good listener. If you had a problem, he would sit quietly, listen to the whole story and help you as best he could. Yang was also a good listener, but wasn't much for helping if you had a problem.
34. Numb
Yang had become numb to many things early in life. Pain, empathy and love had been just a few. Derek, however, seemed to be the cure to the numbness and Yang hated it.
35. Shadow
When they were small, Yin liked to pretend that his shadow was Yang's physical form; always following him close by and watching over him.
36. Wake
When it came to Yin and Yang, Derek's life was never routine. In the mornings he could wake up one of two ways; to a gentle kiss and a loving smile, or a hard floor and a harsh voice demanding breakfast.
37. Blood
Up until he was ten, Yang was afraid to bleed. He was terrified of the thought that their blood might be different from everyone elses, so he did everything he could to keep them out of harm's way. Then one day he tripped and scrapped his knee and began to bleed. He saw that it was red and suddenly he wasn't scared anymore.
38. Valentine
Derek always received dozens of Valentines from women "head over heels" in love with him, but he only ever bought two Valentine's day gifts; a simple white rose for Yang and a white and pink teddy bear for Yin.
39. Pieces
He knew it was incredibly childish, but sometimes Derek would take a piece of a puzzle that Yang was working on and hide it so that later when Yang needed it, Derek could "find it" and Yang would be just a little bit thankful for his existence.
40. Lullaby
Derek loved it when Yin would sing him a lullaby some nights.
41. Crush
Yang didn't know when hatred had turned into a crush, but he wasn't happy about it. Then again, that would probably change soon too.
42. Curse
Their being together forever was not a curse, but a gift. Two people could not possibly be closer than Yin and Yang.
43. Moon
Yin loved the moon. It was big and beautiful and lit up the night with the soft touch of a mother.
44. Sun
Yang liked the sun. It was huge and fiery and cast a harsh light that would easily vanquish any beasts of the night.
45. Belong
Yin and Yang had never really belonged anywhere. Laying on the couch in Derek's arms, however, seemed like the perfect place to be.
46. Friend
The day Yang had told him that they were "just friends" Derek hadn't been hurt badly. Just being friends with Yang was a damn good start.
47. Frozen
Yin didn't like the cold. He'd heard of people who had frozen to death and never wanted to experience such a thing. On cold nights he'd press himself as close to Derek as possible under the blankets and refused to come out until he saw daylight.
48. Heat
When Derek and Yin made love, it was gentle, slow and loving. With Yang, it was always hot, fast and loud and Derek could never decide which he liked better.
49. Lies
Yang had never been one to lie to himself, so one day when Derek leaned over and kissed him, he couldn't tell himself he didn't like it.
50. Truth
Anyone could tell which soul was in control during a game of truth or dare. Yang always chose dare, Yin always chose truth and Derek learned quickly that this could be used to his advantage.
