make empathy great again

basically i got shippy and now there’s these soft little prompts for romantic, platonic, and yearning situations!! use them at your leisure!

“ you’re shivering. here, take my jacket. ”

“ you… sorry, you just got a little something on your face… here, let me get it for you. ”

“ hey, so… i know you haven’t been feeling great, so i picked up a few of your favorite snacks, drinks… ”

“ you stayed? ”

“ well, of course i stayed. you’re here, where else would i be? ”

“ oh! i found this in the mall, i figured it might be something you’d like! ”

“ hey, everything’s gonna be fine. stay where you are, i’m on my way. ”

“ wow… you look… you look amazing. ”

“ we should grab some coffee together, sometime. ”

“ holy crap, i thought you were dead! never do that to me again! ”

“ i made some breakfast, if you’re hungry? ”

“ your hands are freezing! let me warm them up… ”

“ i knew you wouldn’t go to sleep willingly, so i brought you some chamomile tea and a blanket. twenty minutes of shut-eye, okay? ”

“ it’s okay. i promise you, i will be here when you wake up. ”

“ hey! hey, hey, it’s alright! it’s okay, my darling/friend/love, i’m here, i’ve got you… ”

“ i’ll walk you home. ”

“ you need a lift? ”

“ i… sometimes, i guess i kinda wish you could see yourself through my eyes. ”

“ i see you still have my shirt! ”

“ i got starbucks. this is your favorite, isn’t it? ”

“ you look like you could use a hug. ”

“ okay, quit it with the drinks. i think that’s enough, hmm? i’ll cover the tab, but for now, let’s get you home… ”

“ i’m not letting you sleep on the couch. come on. get under the blankets. ”

“ i mean… i-i’m cool with sharing the bed if you are. ”

“ you were in a really bad way, i wasn’t about to abandon you. ”

“ hey… you’ve been crying. ”

“ don’t think i won’t carry you if i have to! ”

“ of course i noticed. i notice everything about you. ”

“ i knew you wouldn’t bring a jacket, so i made sure to color co-ordinate with you so you could wear mine on the way home. ”

“ please, talk to me… it kills me seeing you like this. ”

“ i got a reservation at that fancy italian place you like. come on. get ready, we can get there in time if we get dressed now! ”

“ he/she/they were an idiot. you’re amazing, and if they can’t see that, that’s on them. ”

“ i’d happily go kick their arse, but i don’t think that would help you. ”

“ you don’t owe me anything. ”

“ i wish i could just freeze time. let this moment be forever. ”

“ i got you some flowers. but, if you have allergies, i also got fake flowers! just in case. ”

“ you realise you don’t need to ask my permission, don’t you? ”

“ what’s mine is yours. always. ”

“ i don’t know precisely what i did to earn your presence in my life, but… i’d do it a thousand times over if i knew what it was. ”

“ yes, these last few years have been a living hell, but… i’d live them a thousand times over if it meant you being safe and happy. ”

“How did you stop?” “[…]Ever since I was a child, I… lost everyone I ever loved, so… I hurt people. Yes, killed people. Killed whatever I thought would make the pain go away. It didn’t, no matter how many souls I sent under… So I stopped.”

I fixed it!
