Gravitational Interplay...

Think of personalities as heavenly bodies. Some people are asteroids, small and insignificant in the grander scheme, but with enough mass to cause grand amounts of destruction in their wakes. Some are comets; they carry a great amount of gravitational draw and flash brilliantly in the night sky, before retreating back into the depths of vacuum. Most people are planetary bodies to some degree or another. It all boils down to their gravitational perspective.
We drift along predetermined orbits, exchanging a subtle nudge or pull as the orbits near one another. Usually these paths are concurrent and parallel to one another. Sometimes the interplay amongst the masses sends a body careening out of it’s orbit. It gives the illusion of a grand cosmic pinball game, with objects colliding, ricocheting, or sling-shooting off one another. There is a grand order amongst the chaos. These subtle interactions lead smaller objects to collide and form larger objects.
The larger bodies are generally more immune to being pulled from their predetermined paths. Their accumulated weight draws others to them instead. Once in a while, however, some mal-alignment occurs and a large body wanders off it’s path. Once deprived of the standard orbit, a rogue planet wanders slowly across the heavens, it’s course altered by every gravitational interplay that occurs. Lacking a set path, the constant nudge and push of other objects, slowly forces the planet towards the frozen darkness of deep space. What happens when two such objects, of similar weight, cross paths before reaching the depths?
I hope the event that caused my isolation, sent the other body involved sailing into the sun to burn.. I’ve been a rogue planet for some time. In my wandering, I’ve gained and lost satellites; been bombarded by small bodies; and exposed to erratic particles. In my travels across the ecliptic, I thought I had only encountered bodies of lesser mass.
Apparently a subtle gravitational pull was unbeknownst to me, at least initially. A chance, and seemingly distant passing between myself and another altered my course without my knowledge. A fulcrum point formed between the two bodies and they have seemingly begun a slow declining orbit towards this central position. Other objects have passed in the night, tugging on both planets. The declining orbit has as of yet been apparently undisturbed. As the two bodies near each other, heat is generated, rotations and orbits speed up, and the spiraling grows impatient/violent. I wonder will they collide, become tidally locked and settle into a comfortable orbit, or will the combined gravity and speed of the two send them off in another direction.
