BEVERLY HILLS, California — Judging by the photos that leaked Tuesday night, a lot of people enjoy dreaming that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's onscreen romance also extends offscreen. But no matter what the truth is, this much is fact: Rob and Kristen are happy to have the other at their side as they ride the "Twilight Saga" wave.

"He's thoughtful," Stewart explained recently when we asked the actress to name the quality in RPattz that means the most to her. "I don't want to be specific. It's funny to talk about your friends in [these terms], because this is now going to be the one thing that's my favorite thing about Rob. It's going to be the thing."

Way back in March 2008, when MTV visited the "Twilight" set, two things were obvious: Kristen and Rob were going to set the big screen on fire, and the duo were growing close. Onscreen, Edward and Bella are romantic, honest and protective of one another; offscreen, Rob and Kristen have a funny, self-deprecating dynamic that has helped them grapple with all the insanity of the saga's explosion.

"It's strange, because she's changed over the movies I've done with her," Rob said of his leading lady. "I think from the first one, I was so quiet [and] very determined to do something on the first movie. I wanted to look very serious, and it made her, I guess, a little bit more reticent about how to deal with me."

( blah blah blah, the rest. )

I was rambling on about how I miss my teenage invincibility.

I used to think I was immune to the danger. That I could go on adventures and do everything and nothing bad could ever happen to me.

My teenage years were the best years of my life.

I was fearless. 

You looked at me and said “just so you know, I still think I am invincible.”

You think you’re invincible.

But I know you’re fragile too.

I’ll try to use this knowledge to my advantage and try my best not to break you.

Honest.

"you don't think i've thought about you? sure i've thought about you. just about every day. something always comes up that reminds me of you. when i'm driving around, or the way the lake house sounds in the summer. some days i wish i wouldn't but i still did. you don't think i've missed you? every single damn day. i looked through our pictures this summer and it made me smile, and i put them in my box of things to keep forever. and i figure that if it's been this long and i can't stop thinking about you and i can't stop missing you, there is something wrong. it's like i never stopped loving you."

"me either."

"what are we going to do?"
