Strangers

What word could describe the connection you had with him?

Friends? Your relationship wasn't one that shared a bond of mutual affection.

Enemies? Not once did the feeling of hatred consume you two to try and harm each other.

Lovers? You've had enough messed up romance for a lifetime in your opinion.

The truth was...none of these terms could work because each of them needed a familiar feeling to make sense.

He protected you in your moment of vulnerability, so in return you decided to look out for him in case the tables would turn. He might have been clueless to this, but it was the only way to pay off the debt you owed him. Though that didn't change the fact that you still didn't really know him at all.

So then the question repeats itself: What was a word that could possibly describe the connection you had with him?

Strangers; A person whom one does not know or with whom one is not familiar.

He doesn't know anything about you other than your name and the fact that he found you in the woods.... Yet for some strange reason he still trusted you.

You didn't know anything about him other than his name and the fact that he went to Nevermore Academy.... Yet for some strange reason you still trusted him.

There was no other word to use and you knew it. That word was the closest you'd ever get to a description.
