Trying to sleep had become a lost cause. The Jedi had tossed and turned for a good couple of hours. It was still dark outside though when he finally decided to give up, climbing out of bed, grabbing a robe to put on his shoulders and walking out towards the balcony overlooking the city. It was then that he was greeted by the familiar face, as if their presence had been the reason he couldn’t rightly sleep.

aka i really love the energy of this dynamic, but unfortunately this whole effort turned into me typing down actual dialogue that happened in my car while my poor father tried to teach me how to drive. but they make for fun threads! bon appetit!

from the mentor.

“ you’re doing it wrong. ”

“ would you like me to show you how to do it? ”

“ that… that’s not how you do it. ”

“ maybe this mentoring stuff requires patience that i don’t have. ”

“ keep doing it like that, and you’ll end up hurting yourself. ”

“ correct me if i’m wrong, but that’s not how i showed you to do it, is it? ”

“ okay, alright, look at me. you looking? do it exactly like i’m doing it. ”

“ move your feet, come on, you’ve got to move if you don’t want to end up flat on your ass again! ”

“ look… it’s progress, yeah? you’re better than you were before. ”

“ don’t beat yourself up; it’s a tricky move, nobody gets it right the first time. ”

“ okay, let’s… let’s try a different tactic. ”

“ you’re overthinking it. don’t think; just be in the moment. ”

“ stop, stop… alright. looking back on what you’ve just done, what do you think i’m going to say? ”

“ there’s definitely plenty of room for improvement. ”

“ ah… god, okay, don’t cry… it’s not as bad as it looks, you’re really not as bad at this as you think! ”

“ we’ll get there together. ”

“ okay. time for a break, yeah? let’s stop for now, catch a breath, we can come back to it later. ”

“ you obviously don’t enjoy any of this; why do you want me to teach you so badly? ”

“ i could teach you, if you’d like? ”

“ come on, like i showed you, remember? ”

“ feet apart, hands up; anticipate your opponent’s movements! ”

“ alright… don’t think about getting hit. this isn’t a fight. it’s a dance. you move in response and in anticipation of your opponent. ”

“ who the hell taught you to do that?! ”

“ that wasn’t terrible! you didn’t butcher it this time! ”

“ wake up. wake up, come on, up and at ‘em. you said you wanted to learn, so come on. up you get! ”

“ that was good! hell, that was brilliant! you knocked me off my feet! good job! ”

“ you need to stop worrying about hurting me. you gonna apologize and pay the hospital bills of whatever bad guy you go against next time? ”

“ i’m proud of you. ”

“ you’re doing great! “

from the mentee

“ can you teach me how to do that? “

“ i did it! “

“ okay, there’s no need to be dramatic, i wasn’t that bad! “

“ i AM trying. “

“ oh god, oh, i’m so sorry! did i hurt you? “

“ i need your help with this. okay? i can’t do this alone. “

“ you’re the expert, right? “

“ i’ve seen you fight; i wanna be as good as you! “

“ people’s lives are at stake if i lose. their blood’s gonna be on my hands, and it’ll be on yours, too, if you don’t help me. “

“ quit yelling at me, i’m trying my best! “

“ i’m doing it exactly like you told me to, and i’m still not getting it right. “

“ i don’t need a break! i need to keep going until i get this right! “

“ show me how you did it. “

“ i don’t know how. and you do. all i’m asking is for a few hours of training… please? “

“ that’s it. i quit! “

“ you’re a terrible teacher, you know that? “

“ you said you’d teach me. and i’m here to learn. so let’s go already. “

“ what’s the point?! i’m useless at this! “

i’ve made emotional ones before but also, angst?? bon appetit!

“ i can’t do this alone… “

“ i can’t do this without you. “

“ nothing is worth losing you. “

“ i can’t lose you! not again! “

“ i don’t wanna lose you! “

“ i love you… “

“ i never should’ve dragged you into this. “

“ you’re not alone, [NAME]… you never were. “

“ if something happened to you… that would be because of me. and i can’t have that. “

“ …did you know about this? “ “ this is all my fault… “

“ i/we/you lost… “

“ you won’t win. “ “ this path you’re on… it’s gonna get you killed. you know that, though; don’t you? “

“ i can’t stop. “

“ you would tell me if something was wrong. wouldn’t you? “

“ it’s like you’re not really here; even when you are. “

“ don’t you get it?! if anything happens to you, i… i don’t know what i’d do! “

“ you have no idea how important you are to me, and i’m tired of waiting for you to figure it out, and i sure as hell won’t wait to announce it over your reckless ass’ grave! “

“ no! i’m not leaving without you! “

“ i can’t do this anymore… “

“ you don’t even know me. “

“ what have you done?! “

“ you’re shaking… “

“ i’ve… made some mistakes. “

“ you are nothing to me. “

“ you were never nothing to me… “

“ stop it. enough of this self-sacrificing bullshit! stop acting like you have nobody who loves you! you have me! so no! you don’t get to be a martyr. not today! we can figure out a different plan… “

“ i would’ve done anything for you… “

“ i’d risk everything and anything for you. “

“ i’m not a good person. “

“ please don’t look at me like that… “

“ i believed in you! “

“ we can’t lose… “

“ what?! what am i supposed to do?! please! tell me, what the hell am i supposed to do?! “

“ please, just go… i’m not the kind of person anyone needs to be around right now. “

“ what happened to you? huh? what happened to you to make you this way? “

“ they’re coming for you. right? that’s why you’re pushing me away like an idiot? because you don’t want me getting hurt? “

“ nothing’s going to be as good as it was before. “

“ you lied to me! “

“ i didn’t mean for any of this to happen! “

“ i can’t trust you anymore… “

“ i know it’s selfish. god knows, ever since we met, i’ve been the reason behind every threat and danger that’s come your way. but… i honestly can’t say that i’d change a second of it. “

“ it’s been an honour knowing you. “

“ there’s nobody else i can turn to. only you. “

“ i don’t trust anybody else. not the way i trust you. “

“ we have no choice… “

“ why?! why are you helping me?! “

“ it’s too late. there’s nothing more we can do… “

“ please don’t go… don’t leave me. “

“ you are everything to me. okay? EVERYTHING. i can’t lose you… “

“ you deserve better than this… better than me… “

so i started listening to music, and reading poems, and my vibes were very shippy for a while, and then my sims got married so obviously that didn’t help??? anyway, none of these are written by me, aside from the third one. i saw them on insta or i read them in lyrics or smth, they’re incredibly romantic, very eloquent and passionate and sincere, so i hope you shippy angels like them!! as always, please DO NOT ADD ANY MORE PROMPTS TO THIS LIST!!! i will make more!! i am a simp!! 

“ you are half my soul. “

“ i wish i could tell you what you are to me. “

“ you say you’re dangerous. that you destroy everything you touch. so destroy me. ruin me. tear me apart, and let me love you all the same. “

“ our “almost” will always haunt me. “

“ only love can hurt like this. “

“ i just want you to be happy. if that’s with me or with someone else or with nobody… i just want you to be happy. “

“ i love you. i feel as though we were never strangers, you and i, not even for a moment. “

“ if anyone else were to kiss me, all they would taste is your name. “

“ the stars will go out before i forget you. “

“ i will love you if i never see you again, and i will love you if i see you every day. “

“ if i loved you less, i might be able to talk about it more. “

“ there’s nothing i wouldn’t do for you. “

“ i just realized i don’t care if they’re the most perfect person in the world. they’re not you. “

“ you know how i feel about you… you’ve always known. “

“ i forget every beauty in the universe, the moment you smile. “

“ i say it all the time, i just say it very very quietly. i tell you when you’re in another room, or right after we hang up the phone. i say it after you shut the door behind you. i say it in my head every time you look at me. i love you. of course i love you. i never stopped. “

“ i feel like a part of my soul has loved you since the beginning of everything. maybe we’re from the same star. “

“ my only hope is that one day i can love myself as much as i love you. “

“ in the space, the pause, between this breath and the one that follows, you have made a home in me. “ 

“ i loved the way you touched me with your eyes and felt me with mine. “

“ you’ve always seen me. and i think that’s all that anyone wants. seeing someone. really seeing someone. that’s love. “

“ you kissed my cheek. and then i knew, that you could be homesick for people, too. “

“ all i’ve known are temporary people, the leaving and the hoping, the begging someone to stay… so forgive me if i break apart when you say the word “forever”. “

“ sometimes i wonder if love is worth fighting for. and then i look at you and i’m ready for war. “

“ my darling, you will never be unloved by me. you are too well entangled in my soul. “

“ i climb into my bathtub the same way i’ll keep loving you; until my skin is wrinkled. “

“ and if i could ever ask for one more blessing in this life of mine, i’d pray for a thousand years to see you one more time. “

“ when i am near you, i finally know how it feels to breathe without worry, without caution. i just feel safe with you… “

“ you kissed me goodbye, but you never left. i’ve been seeing you every time i close my eyes. “

“ what cloud did you fall from? because you taste like stardust and eternity. “

“ all i know is, when i think of you, i feel like singing. and i feel like i could run miles to find you. all i’m sure of is, i love you, entirely as you are. “

“ i will never regret us, because you taught me i could love and be loved without the fear of loss. “

“ i wanna spend the rest of my sunsets with you. “

“ let’s do something crazy. like grow old together. let’s show everyone how to do forever. “

“ and i’m not afraid to love you. only afraid my love won’t be enough. “

“ the universe has existed for billions of years, and by chance, we ended up living at the same time. that counts for something. “

“ the sky exploded into a thousand moonbeams dazzling with stars, and as you stared quietly above, i couldn’t help but stare at you, falling in love. “

“ there is a little bit of you in all the words i write. maybe you’re the language of love my heart speaks. “

“ you deserve someone who isn’t okay with losing you. “

“ they named a black hole after you, and i’d be lying if i said you weren’t pulling me in. “

“ i thought i knew what love was, until i felt your arms around me, and realized what it truly was. “
