He taught her about how to speak pig latin before she even know how to speak the proper english when they were 8. She never understood and he never understood her and they both thought the whole thing was pointless but funny, still she wanted to fit in. He told her he liked how she stood out and the fact that she wasn't generic and that she didn't need to try and impress anyone. She was only trying to impress him and she already had but she just didn't know that. They created their own language that everyone else would want to learn but they wouldn't let them and they called it complete because their words together were all they need.
She taught him about sunset when they were 10. His parents let him spend the night at her house once and they snuck out and crawled onto the roof. She told him she went up there to think and but she wouldn't tell him when he asked her what about, because she thought it was silly and pathetic. He was hoping she the thought about him because he thought about her every night before bed, so he just looked back at her and smiled. She grabbed his hand and traced the line on his palm, telling him he was beautiful, he should be a constellation in the sky. Then she would look at the stars every night.
He taught her how to kiss when they were 13. He was experienced and had already kissed more girls than he could count with his two hand and more than she cared to know about. She had never kissed a boy because she was waiting for the right moment and the right one and didn't want to tell him that she believed he was the one worth waiting for. on the roof where she taught him about sunset for the very first time, he slid her bangs out of her eyes so he could stare into them as their lips set out on a collision course for one another. He had never realized her eyes were dark brown and not black and that she has always seen them together like this. She claims that was the day they started seeing eye-to-eye.
They taught each other how to be in love when they were 17. He thought he had been in love once but he learned that lust isn't the same as love and love doesn't lose it's meaning once you start having sex. He had his heart broken and she was there for ohm to clean up the mess that was him and taught him how to put his (her) heart back together. She was always there even though he might not have always cared. She had learned to deal with being the duct tape and the Neosporin to medicate his cuts and scrapes. She had learned to speak in run-ons and his mind left out punctuation and grammar rules and together they formed a complete sentence.
