alien superstar.

      buttercup, get the door !     that’s all she hears ,  before an  quite bothered  groan would allow her to arise from the couch she was  (  previously  )  domaining, with her console .  she’ll admit it ,  the other girls had to tell her to get up two or three times before she’d actually get up :  apparently superheroes aren’t always active ,    ———     who knew ?   a fist reached her eyes ,  its knuckles rubbing against thy tired eyes .    ❝     yeah  —  yeah ,     ❞    she reached the door, just one word leaving her lips.   ❝    - ben ?     ❞   her hand left her face, just so that her eyes could focus on the silhouette presented in front of her .  there was obvious confusion in her marble / iron made features .  along with tiredness ,  she wasn’t the most presentable figure .  nonetheless ,  she awaited a few split seconds ,  before a couple of emerald digits could locate his arm being hidden behind his back .  it was quite easy to see them ,  really .  given his green / mint colored sweater ,  the few CRIMSON and BRIGHT petals stood out besides his opposite arm .    ❝      ah —      ❞   silly ,  isn’t it  ?  love .  so — complex .  timid ,  shy .  passionate .  dense .  a mixture of POISONOUS feelings filling up one’s heart .  it makes it weaker ,  more vulnerable .  and so was she: a SIGH followed ,  attempting to appear annoyed at his gesture   (   obviously failing at the attempt ,   )   before she’d move aside, an eyebrow rising :

“I usually like a little more romancing.”

“Would you put day drinking under ‘Experience’ or ‘Special Skills’?”

“I’m scared for you.”

“I’ve been asking the impossible of you, I see that now.”

“Now, that sounded like flirting to me.”

“Don’t… have feelings, okay?”

“Hey, last night was fun, but that doesn’t mean I want your opinion.”

“Again, I don’t flirt, I just say what I want.”

“Yes, you are a paragon of mental health.”

“I’m tired of missing you.”

“You think you can take your shit and dump it one me? You don’t get to do that. So you take your goddamned pain, and you live with it, asshole!”

“Knowing it’s real means you’ve got to make a decision. One, keep denying it. Or two, do something about it.”

“We get it, you’re a real gift to humanity.”

“You still get points for doing good.”

“I want you to know, I forgive you for everything. I’ll say it every day. For as long as you need to hear it.”

“If this is a booty call, I like your chances.”

“God damn you. Just had to be a hero, didn’t you?”

“You are a hard-drinking, short-fused, mess of a person. But you are not a piece of shit.”

“When you wake up, I won’t be around to screw up your life anymore.”

“I don’t get asked on a lot of second dates.”

“I can’t risk you.”

“You’ve been keeping tabs on me?”

“You shoot at me, I’ll pull the bullet out of my ruined jacket and shove it up your ass with my pinky finger, and who do you think that’s going to hurt more?”

“Don’t apologize. I don’t want that from you.”

“I was never the hero that you wanted me to be.”

“You’re exactly the hero I wanted you to be.”

“I don’t give a bag of dicks about what kinky shit you’re into, just be into it quietly.”

“It’s people like you that give people like you a bad name.”

“I let you fight my battles for too long.”

“The way I see it, most people go both good and bad going on. Just depends on which part wins that day.”

“They say that talking about a trauma… that it helps.”

“You help people. That’s who you are.”

“I thought about you. I knew it wouldn’t happen. I couldn’t help it. Picturing us.”

“You’re the first person I ever pictured a future with.”

“They say everyone’s born a hero. But if you let it, life will push you over the line until you’re the villain.”

“I’m life threatening. Steer clear of me. Please.”

“You’ve never loved anyone. You’re not even capable of it.”

“I hate feeling this way, I don’t know how you handle it.”
