❛ what should we name our snowman? ❜

❛ i guess it’s just my overused hoodie and i against the world. ❜

❛ i’ll be your date for that christmas party if you don’t have one yet. ❜

❛ being stuck inside with you all day is my worst nightmare. ❜

❛ sorry! i didn’t mean to throw that snowball so hard. ❜

❛ i made a dick out of snow. it’s happy to see you. ❜

❛ there’s never a bad time for ice cream. ❜

❛ come here, let me warm you up. ❜

❛ you’ve never seen snow before? ❜

❛ the holidays aren’t so bad with you around. ❜

❛ either you cuddle me, or stop hogging all the blankets. ❜

❛ fine, i’ll be nice. but just until the holidays are over. ❜

❛     but  it  ain’t  nonsense  ,  it’s  the  truth  !     ❜

❛     i’m  really  looking  forward  to  this  performance.     ❜

❛     this  is  great  ―  i  mean  ,  i  really  love  this.  excitement  ,  adventure  ,  danger  lurking  around  every  corner.     ❜

❛     what  was  that  ?  did  you  hear  something  ?     ❜

❛     i  just  don’t  know  what  we’re  going  to  do  with  you.     ❜

❛     now  thanks  to  you  i  am  the  laughing  stock  of  the  entire  kingdom  !     ❜

❛     how  many  times  must  we  go  through  this  ?     ❜

❛     how  do  i  get  myself  into  these  situations  ?     ❜

❛     i  just  don’t  see  things  the  way  they  do.     ❜

❛     how  could you  ―  what  is  all  this  ?     ❜

❛     come  with  me  ,  i’ll  take  you  home  and  get  you  something  warm  to  drink.     ❜

❛     well  ,  perhaps  you  haven’t  been  looking  hard  enough.     ❜

❛     we  just  gotta  forget  this  whole  thing  ever  happened.     ❜

❛     but  i  know  something’s  starting  right  now.     ❜

❛     it  will  not  be  easy  keeping  something  like  this  a  secret  for  long.     ❜

❛     i’ve  been  looking  all  over  for  you.     ❜

❛     i  mustn’t  overreact.  i  must  remain  calm.     ❜

❛     i  know  you’ve  been  keeping  something  from  me  …     ❜

❛     why  can’t  you  just  tell  me  what  this  is  all  about  ?     ❜

❛     i  set  certain  rules  ,  and  i  expect  those  rules  to  be  obeyed.     ❜

❛     you  know  that  !  everyone  knows  that  !     ❜

❛     have  you  lost  your  senses  completely  ?     ❜

❛     so  help  me  ,  i  am  going  to  get  through  to  you.  and  if  this  is  the  only  way  ,  so  be  it.     ❜

❛     i  didn’t  mean  to  tell  ,  it  was  an  accident.     ❜

❛     that’s  what  i  do  ―  it’s  what  i  live  for.     ❜

❛     have  we  got  a  deal  ?     ❜

❛     you  can’t  get  something  for  nothing  ,  you  know.     ❜

❛     you  …  seem  very  familiar  ..  to  me.  have  we  met  ?     ❜

❛     you’re  the  one  ―  the  one  i’ve  been  looking  for  !     ❜

❛     gee  ,  you  must  have  really  been  through  something.     ❜

❛     don’t  worry  ,  i’ll  help  you.  come  on  ,  you’ll  be  okay.     ❜

❛     you  can’t  spend  all  your  time  moping  around  ,  you  need  to  get  out.  do  something  ,  have  a  life.     ❜

❛     this  has  got  to  be  ,  without  a  doubt  ,  the  single  most  humiliating  day  of  my  life.     ❜

❛     you  know  ,  i  feel  really  bad  not  knowing  your  name.     ❜

❛     what  is  this  idiot  babbling  about  ?     ❜

❛     i  just  wanted  to  wish  you  look.     ❜

❛     have  i  ever  been  wrong  ?  i  mean  when  it’s  important.     ❜

❛     no  ,  i  won’t  leave  you.     ❜

❛     so  much  for  ture  love.     ❜

❛     then  i  guess  there’s  just  one  problem  left.     ❜

“ aw, that’s cute. did you think that i really loved you? “

“ i didn’t want to do this. but you betrayed my trust. “

“ this hurts me more than it will ever hurt you. “

“ you reap what you sow. “

“ what did i do? what’s so wrong with me that you can’t just love me? “

“ if nothing else, let’s make the most of being alive and together. “

“ i think i fall in love every day. “

“ i’ll save any life so long as it isn’t not my own. “

“ they didn’t bury you deep enough. “

“ my god, what’s become of you? “

“ enough of your games already. “

“ be careful what you wish for, ____. “

“ i know exactly what’s best for you. “

“ maybe if you weren’t so damn stubborn, we could get something done around here. “

“ you promised me. you promised. “

“ let’s play a game. it’ll be fun. “

“ if this is you when you’re calm, then i’m terrified of what you’re like when you’re actually upset. “

“ i didn’t mean to hurt anyone. i just wanted to help. “

“ i know i’m guilty. i am. i’m guilty. “

“ i don’t know what you want from me. i can’t fix you. “

“ it hurts, doesn’t it? i can make it hurt more. “

“ try not to get yourself killed or i’ll bring you back just to kill you again myself. “

“ you were the only person who understood me. you were my only friend. “

“ i know i shouldn’t care about what you do or who you do it with, but… i’m just—so lonely. “

“ you don’t know what you’re doing. you could kill someone. “

“ just let me help you. you don’t have to do this alone. “

“ aw, you’re no fun. no fun at all. “

“ you’re making me look like an idiot, i hope you know that. “

“ since when did you come back from the dead? “

“ i can rip you apart just as well as i can put you back together. “

“ there’s always something worth fighting for. “

“ pull yourself together, please. i can only afford one of us being a mess. “

“ stay with me. you’ll be fine. “

“ you clearly don’t belong here. “

“ you’re better off dead than alive, ____. “

“ do what you’ve been told. “

“ i can’t just sit around and let people get hurt. it’s my responsibility. “

“ you’re so busy taking care of everyone else that you can’t even take care of yourself! “

“ can i pay you to leave me alone? “

“ you’re running out of excuses and i’m running out of patience. “

“ is it really worth it? is all the blood and the death worth it? “

“ ____. you’re bleeding again. “

“ don’t act like you love me. “

“ i can’t feel anything. “

“ you’re going to tear yourself apart. “

“ i just want you to be safe. is that so much to ask for? “

“ i don’t think there is a right choice, just a choice you have to make. “

“ i could really hurt you, you know. “

“ am i even a person to you? “

“ you don’t even care. they’re just something for you to use and discard. “

“ don’t treat me like a child. “
