❛   wow,   ❜        you  don’t  want  to  believe  that  you  heard  him  right;  maybe  because  it  hurts,   [   maybe  because  it’s  true.   ]   it  is  time  you  let  go,  yet  disbelieving  gaze  remains  glued  to  a  handsome  face  that  you  both  want  to  kiss  and  punch.  [   oh,  and  you’d  love  to  punch  him  right  now.   ]   but  you  won’t,  because  you  wouldn’t  want  to  ruin  what  little  chance  you  have,  because  you  don’t  want  him  to  know  how  much  it  affects  you.

❛   yeah,  fuck  that,   ❜            you  rasp  out,  eyes  prickling  with  tears  that  you  refuse  to  shed.  then  looking  at  the  redhead  becomes  too  much,  face  straining  to  keep  the  waterworks  at  bay  as  you  find  yourself  suddenly  interested  in  your  surroundings.  you  wipe  your  nose  with  the  back  of  your  hand  to  mask  a  humorless  chuckle  that  escapes  your  chest. 

in  retrospect,  you  asked  for  this.  he  left,  over  and  over  again,  and  you  always  came  running  back.  stubborness  or  denial,  you  can’t  quite  place  it.  he  left  you  one  last  time,  and  here  you  are  again:  all  but  begging  him  to  remember  you.  [  pathetic,  in  a  way  only  ian  can  make  you  act.  ]  you  should  have  known  what  his  answer  would  be  though  you  didn’t  come  unprepared.  it  was  all  or  nothing  anyway,  and  so  what  if  you  got  nothing.

❛   that  all  you  gotta  say?   ❜        you  hate  yourself,  still  hoping  to  hear  what  will  heal  open  wounds  that  refuse  to  shut.  he  doesn’t  love  you,  not  like  he  used  to,  not  like  you  still  do,  and  yet.        ❛   ——   nice.   ❜        you  want  to  say  ‘thank  you’,  you  want  to  spit  on  his  shoes,  but  you  do  nothing.        ❛   yeah,  well,  fuck  that.   ❜        you  repeat  under  your  breath.  eyes  linger  for  a  long  moment  on  the  too  familiar  body,  memorizing  details  that  you’ll  later  pray  to  forget,  before  feet  finally  move  to  drag  you  home.  you’re  running  again,  some  kind  of  variation  of  your  fight  or  flight  instinct  blaring  in  your  ears,  so  you  have  to  go.  you  back  off,  a  neutral  expression  washing  the  pain  away.       ❛   nice  fucking  talk.   ❜         hands  find  cover  in  empty  pockets,  spinning  on  your  heels  before  you  say  too  much.  and  if  ian  has  anything  else  to  say,  maybe  you  just  don’t  want  to  hear  it.

(  *  &.  –  RANDOM DIALOGUE STARTERS FROM RIVERDALE || accepting.

for the first time in ages — someone says something that makes him stop in his tracks. the corners of his lips are no longer twitched upward ; an effortless shit-eating grin that is normally accompanied by the younger gallagher. he barely turns, glancing over his shoulder to catch the lingering gaze of his older brother. carl had heard the statement before, quite a few times growing up – especially when they first found out about his BIPOLAR tendencies. he knew that ian wasn’t crazy – it was a bad choice of words, and carl had instantly regretted it the second they slipped past his lips. ❝  fuck man – i didn’t .. i didn’t mean – ❞there’s nothing he can really say in the moment to fix this. they’re both older now, and although ian has become better at managing his emotions – with the help of all of ‘em.. it didn’t mean they didn’t slip out every now and again. truth be told.. carl didn’t really understand the complexity of the disease, but that was to be expected — he wasn’t the smartest tool in the shed ; that was lips line of work. now, ask to build a bomb outta’ a car radio and a soda bottle? THAT he could do.
