YOU AINT EVER REALLY WANTED AROUND HERE.

@bykacie asked:

“I need more coffee if I’m actually going to deal with this.” (dustin)

Just to see, Lee dumps the remaining ice onto Rain's hand. The cubes turn to water, and then steam against her skin.

“I’m not hot. I mean, I know that I am, but it doesn’t feel like it to me. So there’s no reason to cool off.” She tries not to sound disappointed by this. It makes it a little easier she doesn’t hope for things that can’t happen.

the bartender comes back with his drink, which buys him some time as he takes his first sip. what he heard about this stranger is... promising. he wants to know more, but must be tactful as to not scare the other away.

“my name is nadine, though. professional weird freak.” this is something they’re awarding themself with, as they are incredibly unemployed. another sip of their drink is taken, visibly reacting to how gross it is this time around.

BYKACIE: this is a story about seeing. this is a story about being seen. an original character multimuse, featuring forrest greene, ghost seer.

❝ i never meant to get this close, but now that i have i can't let you go. ❞

❝ i live for the moments when you look at me. the rest of the time i'm just existing. ❞

❝ i don't like how you make me feel. but i like not being around you even less. ❞

❝ i wish you wouldn't look at me like that. when you look at me like that i...it makes me wanna do things i shouldn't ❞

❝ there's no line i wouldn't cross for you. don't you realize that? ❞

❝ i did this for you. no one else. ❞

❝ i don't like it, but i'll do it for you. ❞

❝ i wonder how much of myself i'll have to give to you—how much i have to lay bare—before you realize how much you're taking. ❞

❝ i'm not trying to fix you. i'm just trying to be your friend. ❞

❝ i'm not um, real good at thank yous. or sorry's. but if you ever need me, i'm there. i owe you one. ❞

❝ i've seen you at your worst and i'm still standing here. ❞

❝ you've seen me at my worst but you're still here... ❞

❝ you can be mad at me, i can take it. i'd rather you be angry than shut me out. ❞

❝ i'm not angry, i'm just scared. ❞

❝ i know you love me, but do you like me? ❞

❝ do you think i'm a good person? ❞

❝ do you think i care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference? of course i'm helping you. ❞

❝ you don't have to keep apologizing. just be here. day in and day out and prove that you're gonna keep showing up. that's all you have to do. ❞

❝ i only sleep well when you're next to me. ❞

❝ i don't want an apology i just want to understand. ❞

❝ i could actually use a hug right now. ❞

❝ i want everyone else to go away, but you can stay. ❞

❝ i actually do care what you think about. you're probably one of the only people whose opinion matters to me. ❞

❝ you always seem to know what i need. ❞

❝ you always seem to know just what i need to hear. ❞

❝ i want you to call me when you need someone. i want to be here for you. ❞

❝ you're the one i wanna call when i need someone. ❞
