* INITIATION'S OVER, MICHAEL.

They're far out in the more rural part of Santa Carla, full of lush grass all around, wildflowers scattering various colors, bringing life amongst the greenery. Above, a full moon with a faint pinkish glow, the stars shining as Star picks out different constellations in her head. Also above her head, hovering in the sky as effortlessly as ever, was David, tonight playing the role of teacher and Sire to her, rather than strictly lover. She didn't know what a skill it was to have flight, hardly even realized just how powerful the leader of the Lost Boys even was, but... Star knew she trusted him.

Even after everything, she had learned to trust him again, and knew she was the safest she would ever be with him around.

It was on the tip of her tongue to make a remark about pixie dust, remembering the endearing nickname Paul had given her when he had noticed her sewing. "Do I just... Think about it?" She asked, even standing on her toes in her silver ballet shoes, as if it that made a difference, eyes closing for a moment before opening them again. "David, I can't do this." It felt silly, it made her feel more like she shouldn't have been the one he chose for this.

❝  i need you.  don’t you get that?  ❞

❝  i’m right here.  i’m always here right in front of you but you never see me!  ❞

❝  you’re my person.  ❞

❝  no,  i don’t wanna have to talk to anyone else right now.  i just want you.  ❞

❝  i know you’re busy and i don’t want to bother you i just—  can i just sit here with you while you work?  ❞

❝  are we okay?  ❞

❝  honestly,  i’m always there.  in my head.  the scars on my body might’ve healed but i never really walked away from it.  ❞

❝  do you want me to make the others leave?  or we could go,  get some fresh air.   ❞

❝  look i’m not coddling you,  i’m just trying to help.  i wanna take care of you cause i,  you know— care about you.  ❞

❝  alright,  here’s your coffee.  are you ready to talk or should i find something to ramble about for a few minutes?  ❞

❝  eventually,  you just gotta learn to let go of the past.  it’s always gonna hurt,  but you can choose when to start focusing on something other than the pain.  ❞

❝  hey,  just breathe.  look at me— look at me.  in and out.  breathe with me okay?  ❞

❝  keep your eyes on me—  just focus on me.  we’re gonna be okay.  ❞

❝  no,  i’m not okay.  nothing is okay.  it never is.  but that’s just how i function most days.  so i’ll be fine.  ❞

❝  i’m not gonna pretend anymore.  i’m still fucked up from it all and i don’t know when it gets better.  ❞

❝  if you keep waiting until you’re done ‘working on yourself’ before you let yourself be with the person you love,  you’re never gonna be with them.  and they’ll find someone else who is brave enough to give them a chance to love them exactly how they already are.  ❞

❝  why do you stick around?  what is it you think you see in me?  ❞

❝  not everything needs an explanation.  i care about you.  i don’t have to sit here and figure out why.  i just do.  so maybe you should try just accepting it too.  ❞

❝  i don’t need your permission to fall in love with you.  you don’t gotta love me back,  but it isn’t gonna stop me from being here when you need someone.  ❞

❝  you love me too much.  i know how that sounds but—  fucking hell.  you shouldn’t care that much about someone like me.  ❞

❝  i don’t care if loving you hurts me.  the world already has enough pain to dole out for no reason,  at least i’ll have gotten these scars from something beautiful.  ❞

❝  if people can hate for no reason,  than i can love for no reason too.  ❞

❝  one day you’re gonna need me and i’m not gonna be there to fix it.  ❞

❝  no,  i can’t fix everything for you this time.  it’s your mess.  clean it up.  ❞

❝  i dunno who taught you that love comes with conditions and limitations,  but mine doesn’t.  not when it’s you.  ❞

you're shitting me.

this is a frame job.

who are you covering up for?

why don't you just tell me the truth?

i never said we were exclusive.

you didn't tell me you were going out.

it slipped my mind.

i didn't mean to lie to you.

i don't know how else to tell you i wasn't here.

they said i did it? when?

when are you going to quit lying to me?

yesterday you told me one thing, and today you're giving me a whole different story.

so what is the truth?

that's never been the case.

you made that up.

❝  your scars are nothing to be ashamed of.  ❞

❝  why do you hide your scars?  ❞

❝  i see every mark as something to be proud of,  proof of all i survived.  ❞

❝  can i ask what happened here—  how did you get this one?  ❞

❝  please don’t touch it.  ❞

❝  you don’t have to tell me how you got it.  i just wanted to see.  ❞

❝  looks worse than it was.  ❞

❝  i want to kill every person responsible for leaving you scarred. ❞

❝  i made sure the people who left marks on me wouldn’t get the chance to do it again.  ❞
