What’s the big mystery?

i never thought i'd ever see you again.

so many nights i have spent tossing and turning, dreaming of the day i see you again.

you're a sight for sore eyes.

i missed your hugs.

i never should have left your side, not for a second.

we were apart for far too long.

i cannot be away from you ever again.

kiss me again.

where have you been? i've been searching for you!

these are happy tears, i promise.

let me take this opportunity to remind you how deeply i love you.

just look at me for a while. let me remember your eyes.

seeing you again just reminds me how much i love you.

quick, while no one's looking - let's find a place where we can be alone.

sleeping without you has been impossible.

don't let me leave you ever again.

i need you to promise me we'll never be apart ever again.

please forgive me for crying, but i never thought i'd ever see you again.

you're just as beautiful as i remember.

let me get a good look at you.

when i went looking for you, i couldn't find you.

never leave me again.

i never should have let you go.

kiss me a while.

you were worth waiting for.

we were meant to be together.

i searched and searched and i couldn't find you.

i'm looking forward to some alone time with you.

please don't cry. i'm right here.

will you hug me again?

hug me and never let go.

i missed the taste of your kiss.

please touch me.

i need you close to me at all times.

that was far too long to be apart from you.

i can't sleep without you.

you are the most beautiful sight i have ever seen.

we're going to need a lot of time to catch up.

i hate when you leave.

they told me you were searching for me.

this was worth the wait.

am i dreaming, or are you really in front of me?

[name]? is that really you?

be with me tonight.

we have been fighting all day to reach you.

Another one about making people sleep...

"Are you still awake?"

"I think you need to rest..."

"I'm getting worried about you, you know."

"You really do need to sleep."

"It's okay to be tired."

"You can rest your head on my lap... if that'll help?"

"Let me stroke your hair..."

"I just want you to feel better."

"You would feel better if you actually slept."

"The last time that you actually, really rested..?"

"Sh, sh, it's okay. You're overtired, that's all."

"Okay, I have you, just... relax. Let yourself relax."

"I worry about you, you know. How little you sleep."

"I hear you walking about at night, when you think everyone's asleep."

"I know that you're pretending."

"I'm really not that tired. Promise."

"I'm just a bit... uh. Just... just a bit... I'll be okay in a moment."

"You're swaying so badly you can barely stand!"

"You have to rest! I'm not taking no for an answer!"

"Don't worry about me this is - this is normal -"

"You keep yawning like that you might break your jaw."

"It's nice. Warm. Cosy. Come to bed."

"I just want you to actually rest, for once. Please."

"You have to actually relax."

"Take a breath. Lean back. Close your eyes."

"When's the last time you trusted someone enough to do this?"

"I want you to actually try. That's all."

"Would you let me try something?"

"This is not normal. Even for you."

"Yeah, I can feel that." He tightened the hug softly as Dana rushed into his arms. After their sister's return to DC, Bill had told him about the revelations of her case over what was supposed to be their family's Christmas vacation, so Charlie decided to make some room in his schedule to check on his sister in person after Emily's funeral.

My  muse  stumbles  over  their  words,  finally  managing  to  say,  “I…  I  think  I’ve  been  in  love  with  you  for  a  while.”

My  muse  fidgets  with  their  hands,  avoiding  your  muse’s  gaze  as  they  whisper,  “Do  you  ever  think  about  us?  Like…  more  than  just  friends?”

My  muse  lets  it  slip  without  thinking,  eyes  widening  as  they  murmur,  “God,  I  love  you—”  then  freeze.

My  muse  bites  their  lip,  hesitates,  then  finally  sighs,  “I  don’t  know  how  to  say  this,  but…  I  think  you  mean  more  to  me  than  you  should.”

My  muse  confesses  in  a  quiet  moment,  looking  down,  “I  don’t  need  you  to  say  anything  back,  I  just…  needed  you  to  know.”

My  muse  shakes  their  head  with  a  soft  laugh.  “It’s  ridiculous,  really.  I  was  scared  to  tell  you  because…  I  didn’t  want  to  lose  you.”

My  muse  snaps  in  frustration,  “Do  you  really  not  see  it?  How  much  I—”  then  stops,  realizing  what  they  almost  said.

My  muse  confesses  in  a  moment  of  desperation,  gripping  your  muse’s  wrist  as  they  plead,  “Just…  tell  me  I  don’t  have  a  chance,  and  I’ll  stop.”

My  muse  looks  away,  voice  barely  above  a  whisper.  “If  I  tell  you,  everything  changes.  And  I  don’t  know  if  I  can  handle  that.”

My  muse  confesses  in  a  reckless  moment,  pulling  your  muse  close.  “I  should’ve  said  it  sooner.  I  should’ve  told  you  before  it  was  too  late.”

My  muse  breaks  the  silence  with  a  strained  voice.  “I  don’t  want  to  pretend  anymore.  I  can’t  keep  acting  like  I  don’t—like  I  don’t  feel  this  way.”

My  muse  clenches  their  fists,  staring  at  the  ground.  “I’m  in  love  with  you.  I  have  been  for  years.  And  it’s  killing  me.”

My  muse  blurts  out,  “I  think  I—”  then  immediately  shuts  their  mouth,  cheeks  burning.

My  muse  tries  to  play  it  off,  laughing  nervously.  “I  mean,  it’s  not  like  I—uh,  you  know,  like  you  like  you  or  anything—”

My  muse  nearly  confesses  but  quickly  backtracks.  “It’s  nothing.  Forget  I  said  anything.”

My  muse  starts  to  confess  but  gets  interrupted,  then  panics,  saying,  “Never  mind!  Nothing  important!”

My  muse  trips  over  their  words,  then  just  sighs  in  defeat.  “Screw  it.  Yeah.  I  like  you.”

My  muse  whispers  it  against  your  muse’s  skin,  their  breath  warm.  “I’ve  wanted  to  say  this  for  so  long…”

My  muse  confesses  as  they  tend  to  your  muse’s  wounds,  their  hands  gentle.  “You  don’t  get  it,  do  you?  I’d  do  anything  for  you.”

My  muse  leans  in,  voice  barely  audible.  “Tell  me  I’m  wrong.  Tell  me  you  don’t  feel  it  too.”

My  muse  murmurs  it  in  the  dark,  thinking  your  muse  is  asleep.  “…I  love  you.”

My  muse  says  it  in  the  middle  of  laughter,  their  expression  softening  as  realization  dawns.  “God,  I  love  you.”

“Can you walk?”

“That looks broken.“

“That’s a lot of blood.”

“Tell me where it hurts.”

“Why are you bleeding?“

“That’s not just a scratch.”

“I thought you were dead!”

“Don’t you pass out on me!”

“Hey, hey, stay with me, ok?“

“You got hurt, again? Again?”

“Just sit up and breathe, ok?“

“Holy crap, you look like hell.”

“What happened to your leg?“

“Thank god you’re breathing…”

“You should get that looked at.”

“You can barely walk. Sit down.”

“I’m going to carry you, now, ok?”

“Is it bleeding? It’s still bleeding?”

“Where’d you get those bruises?”

“Don’t move, you’ll make it worse!“

“We need to get you to a hospital.“

“You were really hurt. Really hurt…”

“Oh, that’s going to leave a bruise.”

“How many fingers am I holding up?“

“Here, press this against the wound.”

“Here, lean on me. I’ll help you walk.”

“Hold still, I have to bandage this up.”

“Don’t move, I’m getting a first-aid kit.”

“Why didn’t you tell me it was this bad?”

“How the hell did you do this to yourself?“

“Shush, just concentrate on staying awake.”

“This is going to hurt, but I need to clean that.”

“Oh, god. Please be alive. Please still be alive!”

“On a scale of 1 to 10, how much does it hurt?“

“That looks pretty bad. I think you need stitches.”

“What do you mean you’re fine? You are not fine!”

“You should lay down, you hit your head pretty hard.”

“Well… I hope you at least gave as good as you got.”

“That’s a really nasty looking bruise. Need some ice?”

“I got you. It’s gonna be okay, you’re going to be okay.”

“I don’t know how you’re even conscious at this point.”

“Stop being so stubborn and just let me patch you up!”

“You’re going to stay in bed and heal. I’ll handle things.”

“I’m going to find you did this to you, and I’m going to kill them.”

“’Don’t do that’, I said. ‘You’ll get hurt’, I said. And what did you do?”

“So, you tried bandaging this up, and you… well, you did your best.”

“Oh, thank god, you’re finally awake. Thought I lost you for a minute there.”

“I found you laying out there in the cold. Had to fight to keep you breathing.”

“Okay, no, I’m not laughing. Not laughing. Are you okay? That must’ve hurt.”

“Who did this to you? And, no, I’m not going to believe this was an accident.”

“Of course I’m worried about you. You keep getting hurt, and keep not letting people look after you.”

“I love you.”

“Can I kiss you?”

“Kiss me, please?”

“You’re so beautiful.”

“I’ll always be here for you.”

“Rain or shine, I’m here for you.”

“I was so lucky to have met you.”

“I want to have a future with you.”

“I love you — no, I mean it, I love you.”

“You mean more to me than you know.”

“You make me want to be a better person.”

“I want to be someone who’s worthy of you.”

“You’re the most lovable person I’ve ever met.”

“You’re the best thing that ever happened to me.”

“How do you always find a way to make me smile?”

“I never thought I could feel this way… about anyone.”

“The world just seems a little better when I’m with you.”

“I’m not good at this kind of thing, but I want to be with you.”

“I still can’t believe someone like you loves someone like me.”

“Neither of us are perfect but, together, it feels like we’re a little better.”

“I never thought I’d fall in love with someone like you, but I’m glad I did.”

“There is nothing you could say or do that could ever make me love you less.”

“You’re enough.”

“It’s okay to rest.”

“You’re safe, now.”

“You’re not a burden.”

“It’s okay to be scared.”

“You’re doing your best.”

“Don’t listen to the doubt.”

“It’s not better to be alone.”

“Healing takes time. There’s no time-limit.”

“You’re surrounded by people who love you.”

“You don’t have to prove yourself to anyone.”

“You don’t have to do everything by yourself.”

“It’s not selfish to ask for help when you need it.”

“You deserve to smile, and laugh, and be happy.”

“You don’t have to apologize for taking up space.”

“You don’t need to justify your existence to anyone.”

“You’re not stupid for not understanding something.”

“Everything might not be perfect, but it will be better.”

“You can miss someone and still realize they hurt you.”

“You’ve come so far, so take a second and appreciate that.”

“Not everyone is out there to break you down and hurt you.”

“What was done to you was not your fault. It never, ever was.”

“You don’t need to accept apologies from people who don’t mean them.”

“You’re allowed to tell people. If they didn’t want people to know, they shouldn’t have done it.”

“They didn’t love you. It hurts to recognize that. But, it means you can move on, and find someone who does.”

“How bad is the pain today?”

“This doesn’t seem very accessible.”

“Do you need to sit down for a minute?”

“Do you need me to grab your (mobility aid)?”

“Did you remember to take you meds today?”

“Are you getting tired? Do you need to sit down?”

“You can lean against me if you need to, its okay.”

“Are you having a rough brain day? Need to talk?”

“I just need help standing up, I can walk by myself.”

“You don’t owe them an explanation, they’re just rude.”

“Just lay down, take a break. Your body needs to rest.”

“Can you bring me my meds and a glass of water. please?”

“I’m here to give you a hand if you need it, just let me know.”

“You’re real. I’m real… you’re okay, you’re safe here with me.”

“It’s okay to be upset. You’re going through something really hard.”

“I’m sorry, I wanted to go out tonight. My body had different ideas.”

“That seemed like it triggered you pretty bad. Do you need a second?”

“Don’t feel bad about cancelling, I know how bad your flare-ups can get.”

“Hey, it’s okay, you’re just having a panic attack. You’re going to be okay.”

“I’m here for you if you ever need to talk. I might not be able to understand completely, but I can listen.”
