HAIL TO THE QUEEN .

“— Well that’s just not nice. I’m clever, okay? Whether you admit it or not.”

          “ you are clever, yes, but can't you be clever with puns at someone else's expense or is that asking too much from you? ”

“Y’know, I was going to kiss you, but now I’m not so sure— You’re beeing a bit of a brat.”

          “ your loss. maybe i'll find someone else to kiss. ”

“W-wait a sec, backtrack there… Did you actually just admit that I was the smarter of us two? C’mon, lemme hear it again from those lips of yours.”

          “ and RISK letting it get to that big head of yours?           no chance, timmy. that was your monthly dose of flattery from me. ”

“I’m supposed to believe, that you don’t find me physically attractive? Besides, that in itself sounds like an oxymoron.”

           “ 'course i find you attractive, but it's not the important part.                         at least, not to me. & i don't know, was it?                       you are the smarter one between both of us. ”

“For some reason, huh? Maybe it’s the dashing good looks accompanied by my charm?”

            “ can't be, i'm not a sucker for those kinds of things.           maybe it's the fact that you’re a moron & i’m NOT a moron.                        opposites attract and all that jazz. ”

you have me.

“No, you know what? I’m not going to give you some half assed apology because I’m not, I can’t bring myself to be sorry. He was a good fuck, what else can I say? I did it. I slept with your boyfriend. Get the fuck over it.”

“ You know what I like, Gemini? I like the fact that you're so FUCKED UP that you won't even pretend to be sorry for what you've done.       You RUINED my LIFE, & now you're acting EXACTLY like the monster we both know that you are. Well, when you see Nick in HELL, you can go ahead and FUCK him all that you like. Because I'M going to kill you if you don’t get the hell away from me ! ”

His words were very clearly still laced with bitterness, yet it all vanished once he got to his feet & turned to look at her. Neither of them were to blame, but if they were expected to live down there long enough to recolonize the planet, then it would be good to have an ally down below.

   “ you don't know how good it is to see you again. ”

“You were in love with him, and we weren’t a thing; it was just—— something temporary, he missed you and the grief clouded everything that we were. But both of us focused so much on the human side of us that when we ignored the feelings in favor of the animal instinct that what we knew was inside of us… look—— we were sure you were gone.”

“I didn't ask you to fuck him, I never even asked you to look after him. Both of you are the reason I was dead in the first place, & what's worse is that I still love him. I---- I slept with him after I came back and---- how am I supposed to be okay with any of this?”
