SOFTER:
“ stop doing that— stop trying to hide your emotions from me. ”
“ i can’t make you trust me. but i’m gonna stick around long enough for you to realize you can. ”
“ not everyone is just gonna become another scar. some people will stay, if you let them. ”
“ i feel like i’ve been living in a storm for so long, like i’m just drifting from wave or wave hoping i won’t drown. ”
“ what happened to you? what made you so scared to stay still long enough to let someone in? ”
“ i don’t wanna be scared anymore. ”
“ even when you smile, your eyes are still sad. ”
“ you’re safe with me. you can let go. breathe. ”
“ i just want to belong somewhere again. or to someone, i guess. ”
“ the thing about never having a home, is you don’t know what to do when you’re finally given one. you just feel like you’re waiting for something to take it away again. ”
“ would you just sit still? you’re gonna get an infection if you don’t let me clean this up. ”
“ i’m not gonna hurt you. i’m just here to help. ”
“ close your eyes. go back to sleep. nothing can hurt you while i’m here. ”
“ you looked so peaceful while you were sleeping…i couldn’t bring myself to wake you up. ”
“ why do you trust me? ”
“ don’t do that— don’t shut down on me. let me in. ”
“ you were talking in your sleep again. i’m starting to think they’re memories and not just dreams. ”
“ i’m not used to letting people close. i don’t like being vulnerable— but i want to, with you. i want to let you in. ”
“ how did you get this scar? ”
“ i don’t always need you to fix everything. i just— sometimes i just want you to listen. ”
“ you’re so beautiful when you laugh. i wish i could see it more, but maybe it’s the rarity of it that makes it so captivating. ”
DARKER:
“ every time i touch you, there’s a moment where you look like you think it will hurt. ”
“ why aren’t you scared of me? ”
“ you’d accept a caress from the same hands that leave you bruised, just to feel warm. ”
“ i’ll kill anyone that makes you hurt like that again. i’d kill them just for taking your smile. ”
“ i want to keep you all to myself. i don’t want anyone but us to know the things we do in secret. ”
“ you’re mine now. and i won’t let anyone take you from me. ”
“ would you kill for me? ”
“ i’d cut my heart out and place it in your hands if it would prove my devotion to you. ”
“ you love me so fiercely. i’m almost afraid of it. ”
“ i know if anyone hurt me, you’d never let them see another day. and i think i like that a little too much. ”
“ i know you’re dangerous, but i also know you won’t hurt me. you bark, and you growl, but you never bite. not me, at least. ”
“ who hurt you? who made you so sad and lonely? tell me so i can make them pay. ”
“ i don’t like the way they look at you. perhaps i’ll cut their eyes out. ”
“
“ they hurt me. now i want you to make it better. make them hurt too. ”
“ if anyone lays even a single finger on you, i’ll cut it off and feed it to them. ”
“ yes. i killed them— but i did it for you. ”
“ i had to do it. no one gets to make you sad and get away with it. ”
“ i told you, i’ll love you no matter what. i’ll wipe the blood off your skin. i’ll clean the dirt off your hands from every grave you dig. i don’t care if you’re a monster. ”
“ you should be scared of me. i like that you’re not. ”
“ don’t you know my love could destroy you? ”
“ come, sit in my lap and tell me whose blood i should spill tonight. ”
