i've seen a brighter world, i can't go back

May we all smile more in July.

May we all experience ease in July.

May we all worry less in July.

May we all get good sleep in July.

"You got two choices: go to bed as dignified as possible in your current state, or I carry and throw you."

"Just let me finish this..." "Oh sure, and how long will that take? Another day? Bed, now."

"You just almost created mustard gas trying to make coffee. You're done."

"I'm worried... Please just get some rest."

"You know damn well I'm not above sedating you."

"Brought you coffee." "We both know that's decaf with sleeping pills in it." "Huh. You're learning."

*finds them slumped over on their desk* "Huh."

"Hey, what!" "I told you, one more hour, and then I am dragging you out of here. So here we are." "This is barbaric!"

“I’m fine,” Ranpo groaned, his voice muffled beneath the blankets.

“You’re not fine, you’re stubborn,” Poe insisted. “If you don’t change out of your clothes, I’ll have to resort to drastic measures.”

or—5 times Poe had to remind Ranpo to take a break from binding, and the 1 time Ranpo had to remind Poe.

"I already forgot what we were fighting about."

"Come here, let me hug you. I'm sorry too."

"I know. Me too."

"I'm the one that should be apologizing."

"You've always made it hard for me to stay mad at you. Come here."

"You did nothing wrong."

"It's okay."

"It wasn't your fault."

"Don't apologize."

"I can't believe you."

"Cut the bullshit."

"Don't lie to me."

"When I said I never wanted to see you again, did you not know what the word 'never' means?"

"You're either stupid or brave to be showing your face here."

"Fuck off."

"Did you expect that to be even remotely enough to fix this?"

"You're about to be."

*immediately escalates to physical violence*

"Make a wish." "Done."

"Oh, wait, careful. There's a bug, here let me get it out of your hair."

"I dropped my hair tie but if I turn on the flashlight we'll be swarmed by mosquitoes..." "That belongs to nature now. Sorry."

"Take the blanket. You look cold."

"I've never seen anything like that." "Don't get a night sky like that in the big city, huh?" "No, absolutely not."

"I brought something..." "Hot cocoa?? You're incredible. Marry me."

"Look, it's Ursa Minor." "Where?" "There. See? It goes along there... How are you not seeing it? It's there! It's... Look! It's right there!" "That's just... stars! What the fuck are you talking about!" "I am going to lose my mind."

"Are you sure you need me for this? ... No, I'm sorry. Of course."

"Why are you even here? Seriously, did I invite you? I don't remember inviting you."

"I don't like having people in my space." "Oh. I can..." "No, it... It's fine. You're fine. Stay."

"Look, if we're gonna be forced to spend time together, we might as well try to get along. Come on, sit. Let's... get to know each other. I guess."

"Where did you go? It's weird not having you around."

"Why didn't you tell me you were allergic?!" "You told me not to talk to you about anything but the job!" "Obviously not in this case, dipshit!"

"Shut up and let me help."

"Wh- How did you know it was my birthday?!" "It's in your file."
