a work in progress

"I did, once. I don't know, memory is a faulty thing and the past moves in circles. I don't think about some things for months, only to obsess over them for a week. Also, I don't think I know him now. I did once, and I loved him, loved who he was and who he could be. But I know he's a different person now, I am too."

-Ritika Jyala, excerpt from The Flesh I Burned

continuing from my original random dialogue series  ( 1.0 | 1.5 ),  i thought to create a brand new one for even more (random) situations! the following prompts are from a variety of public sources, as well as my own. as always, some triggering content may be present! change any pronouns to better suit your muse(s) needs!

thank you for agreeing to help.

sorry, it’s just that i get very nervous when someone else is driving.

i sense tension…

there’s a reason i keep this door closed.

i can’t believe you would do this to me!

there’s nothing reassuring about what you just said.

i thought we’d be safe here.

thanks for looking out for me.

i’m right here.

thinking about it makes me sick.

i’m not asking.

c’mon, i’ll drive you home.

there’s something i’ve been meaning to tell you.

hey, you owe me this favour.

i want to be there when you get what’s coming to you.

you’re too good for this world.

i’ll be okay, i’m always okay.

sorry about last night.

do you remember we used to do that in school?

i need your help.

you have no idea how much this means to me.

how long have you been standing there?

we have to stop meeting like this.

there’s someone in the house!

you’re beautiful.

very few people understand me, but you do.

i’m sorry.

get out of my way.

i saw it as clearly as i see you standing there now.

if you leave now, you lose everything.

please stop talking.

i make my goddamn choices myself, based on what i know.

don’t upset your father, not now.

you’re gonna get us killed someday.

i don’t feel good.

do you ever think we should just stop doing this?

i think you should stay the night.

who’s side are you on?

believe it or not, i am grateful.

i’m not supposed to talk to strangers.

you have to leave right now, you aren’t safe here.

i don’t think this is a good idea.

you’re not dead yet.

i wish you told me sooner.

are you kidding me?

you must be mad, coming here like this.

i don’t know how i can repay you.

you embarrassed me this evening.

don’t act so surprised.

there’s something i need to get off my chest.

tell me what’s bothering you.

everything is always about you!

midnight, on the bridge. come alone.

you stand there and accuse me, but where were you at the time?

i knew you wouldn’t be able to see it through.

i need more time to think.

you need me.

i’ve forgotten what it’s like to feel young.

you’re okay, you’re okay.

i don’t remember my childhood.

if we both stick to the story, they can’t prove anything.

i’ve been checking you out.

you look tired.

this must be hard for you.

never underestimate me again.

you got a package for me?

i think you’re right.

my hands are clean in all of this.

we really need a better excuse to see each other.

i’m ready to try again.

where i go and what i do is none of your business!

i never thought i’d see you again.

my work is my life.

we never should’ve kissed—that was our first mistake.

i feel very alone.

you are loved, don’t ever forget that.

i’m not gonna make it.

i don’t think i could live alone again.

when i was younger, i saw something i shouldn’t have.

i don’t want to have a baby.

stay the night, you deserve the rest.

you look ridiculous in that thing.

quick, hide behind the sofa!

hurry! they’re pulling up in the driveway!

i haven’t had a good breakdown in months, perhaps i’m due.

you’re impossible to ignore.

if you get me his phone, i might reconsider.

i’m afraid you’d look at me differently, now that you know.

i can’t trust you anymore.

hope is a silent killer, one day you’ll find that out for yourself.

i miss moments like this more than anything.

you can’t keep treating me this way!

sorry, i haven’t checked my phone all day.

my head is killing me.

just do as i say, and no one gets hurt.

you woke me up.

i didn’t mean to make you upset.

i can’t believe you’re just gonna give up like that!

just breathe.

i’m in the mood for pizza, what do you think?

if this is going to work, you’re going to have to trust me.

i’m not a big fan of the dark.

i could kill you!

you should’ve listened to me.

there’s always going to be someone who wants to knock you down.

it’s not fair!

so you had a bad day, there’s always tomorrow.

be nice to me, it’s my birthday.

you didn’t have to walk me home.

i would appreciate it if we didn’t discuss personal matters right now.

there’s no need to be callous and cruel.

this is for your own good.

i could kiss you.

you came into the store i work at looking for something and i had no idea where it was so we bonded over this impromptu scavenger hunt and now you’re always out shopping for something just to see me

while waiting outside our classroom i asked what the homework was to which you replied “we had homework!?” and now we always wait outside the classroom together… also you always copy my homework

we volunteered to sell sandwiches to raise money for the school and i know we literally just met but you’re the most adorable dork i’ve ever met that laughs at all my stupid jokes and i could probably stare at your smile forever i think i’m in love with you??

you’re the funniest (and cutest) guy in class so one day i strike up a conversation with you in the corridor only to realize you’re actually very sweet and sensitive and you write poetry??? roses are red, violets are blue, i think i may be in love you

you’re this really cool, hot chick in class who’s also super smart and artistic and i’ve been pining over you for weeks and now we’re partnered for a project and you’re actually super fucking funny??? but you have a boyfriend so instead we just become best friends and now i’m honestly so glad i was stupidly gay for you that one time

you’re this really funny blog i follow that’s super fucking popular and i made a post about you and you actually responded??? i’m deceased??? now we’re best friends that talk every single day and we might even be a little gay for each other and i can’t even believe i was merely a follower of yours once

you’re this fairly popular viner/youtuber and i ran into you while on vacation and when i offered you a handshake you gave me a hug and followed my twitter so now we dm each other and every time i visit your live streams you always excitedly greet me and i feel so special!!!!

Beau Taplin, The Wild Heart 

Cain watches Daxton, eyebrows raised in perpetual amusement.

"Actually, graphs and charts are quite common, if this is visual enough a medium for you. But I would hate to lecture off the clock. You may find me incredibly boring, and I —"

He is searching for a coffee table book with a boring title. He finds one, lifts it up, and rips out the last page.

A leisurely sip is taken from his glass as his features scrunch, trying to summon even the slightest of ideas.
