❛  just remember: you’re handsome and charming and everyone loves you.  ❜

❛  if i was gonna go for a rich boy, that is the rich boy i would go for.  ❜

❛  he’s the worst kind of rich boy.  ❜

❛  did your parents send you to snobbery school or does looking down on people come naturally to you?  ❜

❛  you better act like the sun shines out of his ass and you have a vitamin d deficiency.  ❜

❛  one thing i admire about you is your willingness to admit when you’re wrong. wonderful, wonderful trait to have.  ❜

❛  why do you dislike me?  ❜

❛  i didn’t realize you’d heard that …  ❜

❛  so, you do admit that’s a douchey thing to say?  ❜

❛  i’m sorry i was a prick to you. it’s no excuse, but i was a prick to everyone in those days.  ❜

❛  well, now i feel like i need to apologize.  ❜

❛  most people would kill to get an invite to my party.  ❜

❛  that’s perfect, then. kill me, and i won’t have to go.  ❜

❛  did i … do something wrong?  ❜

❛  people i date don’t interest me, and the people who interest me, i can’t date.  ❜

❛  he grabbed my hair in a way that made me understand the difference between rugby and football.  ❜

❛  i mean … you’ve been wanting him to dick you down forever.  ❜

❛  you’re gonna stay at least 500 [feet/meters] away from me for the rest of the night. then, at midnight, you’re gonna come to my room, where i’m going to do some very bad things to you.  ❜

❛  i really thought you hated me …  ❜

❛  i hated how good you looked.  ❜

❛  i wouldn’t mind doing this again.  ❜

❛  i just can’t afford for you to fall in love with me.  ❜

❛  i think we should make love tonight …  ❜

❛  who says ‘make love’ anymore? are we gonna listen to lana del rey while we do it?  ❜

❛  i am so not playing it cool right now.  ❜

❛  i went to boarding school, dear. trust me, you’re in good hands.  ❜

❛  i can’t believe how wrong i was about you …  ❜

❛  it’s come to my attention that you’re not as boring as i thought. sometimes. namely, when you do that thing with your tongue.  ❜

❛  you blew my fucking mind and i’m gonna die if it doesn’t happen again soon.  ❜

❛  listen, i’ll fly to wherever you are right now and pull you out of whatever pointless meeting you’re in and make you admit how much you love it when i call you ‘baby.’   ❜

❛  i’ll take you apart with my teeth, sweetheart.  ❜

❛  should i tell you that when we’re apart, your body comes back to me in dreams?  ❜

❛  you love so much bigger than yourself. bigger than everything.  ❜

❛  give yourself away sometimes, sweetheart. there’s so much of you.  ❜

❛  i’ve been … um … figuring some things out about myself lately …  ❜

❛  i mean, if i’d had more warning, i could’ve made you a powerpoint presentation.  ❜

❛  you need to figure out if you feel forever about him before you take this any further.  ❜

❛  this is uncharted territory for us …  ❜

❛  sometimes, you just gotta jump and hope you’re not standing on a cliff.  ❜

❛  i’ve never felt this way about anyone …  ❜

❛  it’s like there’s a rope attached to my chest and it keeps pulling me toward you …  ❜

❛  i felt myself getting too close, and i didn’t want to break your heart.  ❜

❛  i’m going to let you say what you need to say. then, i’d like you to leave.  ❜

❛  a week ago, we were happy, and then you disappear without saying a word?  ❜

❛  well, i’m sorry i can’t turn my feelings off as easily as you.  ❜

❛  do … do you honestly think this is easy for me?!  ❜

❛  i stormed a fucking castle to look you in the eye and tell you that i love you, knowing that you wouldn’t say it back.  ❜

❛  if this is over, i at least deserve to know why!  ❜

❛  for once, i wish you could see me for who i am and not who you want me to be!  ❜

❛  sometimes, i don’t think you know me at all.  ❜

❛  i wasn’t raised by a loving, supportive family like you were.  ❜

❛  i can love you, and want you, and still not want that life.  ❜

❛  we can figure out a way to love each other on our own terms. no one else’s.  ❜

❛  if you want me to go, you have to tell me to leave.  ❜

❛  i would never leave this room if i didn’t think there was any hope of holding onto the happiness i have found with you.  ❜

❛  tell me to go, and i promise i will walk out that door and trouble you no longer.  ❜

❛  when i was younger, i would dream of taking somebody i love here, and he’d love it as much as i did.  ❜

❛  please, be patient with me, and i promise i will try to be brave for us.  ❜

❛  when they write the history of my life, i want it to include you, and my love for you.  ❜

❛  history, huh? i bet we could make some.  ❜

❛  i want you to have some part of me until you can have all of me again.  ❜

❛  he has captured my heart and made my life immeasurably better.  ❜

❛  i just have to do everything around here.  ❜

❛  you’d better fix this, or you will never see me naked again.  ❜

❛  you might be lousy at keeping secrets, but i am not.  ❜

❛  just hold on until i get there. we’ll figure this out.  ❜

❛  i am always proud to be your boyfriend.  ❜

❛  i don’t want your protection. i want your support.  ❜

❛  breathe, darling.  ❜

a white lie , carefully formulated - this lie feels foreign and as the worlds formulate and fall ; he can't help but allow the pull of cheekbones as his eyes widen ever so. one might think that bruce wayne does indeed have some influence over the city of gotham ; that his name is all that is required to step through any door.

it's a lie. his name nothing more than an inherited antiquated artifact. the waynes and arkhams are old money - the kind of money that was built upon blood. gotham runs through his very veins , if he appears tired it's because he is. there is no rest for those who think him a coward , hiding up in wayne towers as he looked down upon the city.

the ruination of his empire had come in one fell swoop - the emergence of edward nashton had uncovered the wayne's little secret , another heir ... a scandal.

nights like this seem endless , uptown as a piano player gently plays piano man - the drink that i had to pretend to spill before she offered me another. i don't drink , i can't drink though ? it's more for the obvious reasons ... it'd be easy to allow my mind to slowly ebb away , to become everything that gotham wanted me to become. will , it's a lovely thing yet ? i'm finding that i'm losing a war that's inevitable. this conversation serves as a diversion and i find comfort in that. so i decide to continue , my features softening ever so as the lightening plays to my advantage. the bruising hidden , the faint yellow that fades into my hairline could be mistaken for the blonde that's grown in - a homage to my arkham roots.

" i personally believe there can't really be anything done to fix this city, " jessica shrugs, though her words are genuine. gotham is a bottomless pit, reeking of corruption and blood. there is nothing else to be done but keep an eye on your own back when you walk alone at night, " maybe it's just meant to be this way. maybe there's something inherently rotten about gotham, " maybe this city is just cursed by god, " i've heard many a politician say they want this place to improve, yes. most of them, however, are part of the problem."

You’re  too  good  at  reading  people,  Jess  –  scares  the  shit  outta'  me.

She  leans  against  the  clothed  table,  cleavage  pressed  against  its  surface  as  one  palm  comes  to  support  her  chin  (  by  now  she  has  been  able  to  distinguish,  the  closer  she’s  gotten  to  the  stranger,  how  dead  his  eyes  look  –    he  stares  ahead  at  nothing  at  all.  Not  her  tits  on  display,  not  the  jazz  band  playing  onstage.  Nothing  at  all  ).

She  wonders  where  his  mind  truly  is  right  now.

. . . she comes closer all the same . tearing up unspoken boundaries . ( NOW , DO NOT GO WALKING TOWARDS THE SHADOWS ― THEY SING ABOUT DEATH IN SILENCE ) .

“ then, if it’s taken care of, what are you still doing here? ” cant of her head makes auburn locks cascade down her bare shoulder, an expentant glance keeps her gaze fixated on him.

– curiosity killed the rabbit, sugar;

would say her late husband, with nostrils dabbled in white powder and high off whatever his agent gave him to keep him compliant. Roger would say this gentleman looks like he belongs inside an action movie more than he does real life.

@j2rabbit : ❝ are you here on business ? ❞

a younger , much more oblivious tarasov bursts out laughing in some corner of the dimlit room . the echoes of inebriated delight indiscreetly announce his . . . questionable well-being . as long as the heart beats & the lungs are at a sufficient capacity , the work was being carried out successfully . the big question does hang in the air , in the midst of the mist of tobacco & humidity : how come he forfeited a night of rushed adrenaline & exchange it for something so . . . placid ? the ruinous answer would open a severe wound to his pride ( BETTER ASK VIGGO TARASOV ABOUT THE ATLANTA BUSINESS BECAUSE THIS ONE WON'T BARK A SOUND ABOUT IT ) .
