my original batch can be found HERE! i got all kinds of angsty and protective vibes took over, but if u think of any more that you’d like to see on the list, shoot me a DM so i can add it!

“ get behind me… ”

“ stay here. ”

“ don’t worry. everything’s going to be alright… ”

“ you shoot anyone who comes through that door who isn’t me. ”

“ when you love something, you protect it. ”

“ i’ll keep you safe. ”

“ do everything that i say, and we might both live to tell the tale of this night. ”

“ when i say run, i need you to do as i say and don’t even think about me. ”

“ get down! ”

“ close your eyes, you don’t need to see this. ”

“ why wouldn’t i save you? ”

“ it’s alright. they won’t be hurting you again… ”

“ of course i came for you… it would take far much more than that to stop me. ”

“ listen to me… i need to go back out there. but i promise you, i’ll be right back. okay? all i want you to do is stay hidden, and i’ll be back before you know it. ”

“ there’s nothing in this world nor any other, that would stop me from protecting you. ”

“ get out of here! now! ”

“ i knew you’d feel guilty; you do understand that i’d take a thousand wounds if it meant keeping you safe, don’t you? ”

“ i swear to you. as long as i’m by your side, you’ll never be harmed. ”

“ it’s my job to keep you safe, yes, but you could work with me a little to make it easier. ”

“ protecting you isn’t my duty. it’s my privilege. ”

“ who did this to you? where are they? ”

“ listen to me. i don’t think i’ll be able to buy you much time. and once i go out there, the clock starts. so the second you hear us fighting, i want you to run. as fast and as far as you can. ”

“ are you alright? “

“ can you move? “

“ why is it so difficult for you to believe that you deserve to be protected? “

“ you’re a good person. good people deserve to be safe. “

“ i’m going to protect you, now. because that’s what we do for the ones we love. we keep them safe. “

“ stay close. whatever you do, do not leave my side. “

“ i’ll do whatever it takes to keep you safe. no matter the cost. “

“ i’m on my way. ”

“ it’s alright… it’s okay… i’m here now. i’ve got you. ”

“ it’s all over now. don’t panic. it’s not my blood. ”

Aston looks at her and then looks down at the floor. "I never thought about it that way before, I wouldn't want you to be trapped in something that you someday might not want but the same goes for me, if I get bored then I don't want to be miserable either." He looks up at her then and smiles "I like you quite a lot to Theo and let's make a promise to each other right now, if either one of us gets bored with what we have we'll tell each other."

“ hey, give me two seconds. i need to talk to you. “

“ you’re blushing. it’s cute. “

“ just listen, all right, and stop laughing. “

“ you want to kiss me, don’t you? “ “

“ i’ve been trying to talk myself out of it. “

'' what is it that you're trying to tell me? ''

'' so you better listen, because i will not repeat myself... ''

“ you’re cute when you’re nervous. “

“ you don’t get it, do you? “

“ i love you, that's all. “

'' i don't want to spend any time apart from you. ''

'' just spit it out. ''

“ i know you're busy, but it's important. “

“ you have no idea how much i love you, do you? “

“ i like you. i really, really like you. ''

'' i really need you to know that [that i love you]. ''

“ wait, you knew? “ “ you haven't exactly been discreet... “

'' i love you. ''

'' so, do you... love me back, or? ''

“ do you have feelings for me or something? “

“ i think i'm falling in love with you. “

drip. drip. drip. the diners faucet was what Theo decided to focus on. this was her first time being surrounded by humans in days, she just wanted to get out into the world. However, it probably wasn’t the best idea that Theo, a newborn vampire, was out in the world on an empty stomach. She hadn’t fed since the day she was turned and she was starting to get hungry, but she didn’t understand this, she didn’t understand how often vampires needed to feed, she wasn’t sure if vampires had to kill their pray or if they let them live, etc. she was new to this and no one was there to help her.

eventually focusing on the broken faucet wasn’t enough for her. The sound of heartbeats, of blood pumping throughout bodies, it was everywhere and Theo really didn’t feel like being part of a diner massacre. ​“I gotta get out of here.” She said to herself before abruptly getting up and started walking out the door as she walked out she managed to bump into someone. “Sorry.” She said quickly, just trying to get out of there, but something caught her attention. No heartbeat, she stayed and looked at him a few more seconds “I’m so hungry.” Her voice barely above a whisper before hurrying out the door. 

She looked over to where the voice was coming from, he wouldn’t be able to tell because Theo was under a lot of stress at the moment, but she was completely happy he followed her. “No. I don’t know anything about anything.” She was hoping he’d get what she was saying, since they were in public she really didn’t want to mention vampirism not wanting people to overhear. “I don’t have anyone to help me, I think I might go live in a cave.” She was trying to crack a joke, make light of the situation, but she really was having a hard time right now.

Diem supposed the description made sense. She doubted anything, even for survival, could gorge on something that didn’t at least taste appealing to them. A nod as she listens to the description, stopping only at the last bit. Brows knit, one rising as she tilts her head over to Theodora.

        ❝ Like life? ❞   Diem parrots, adjusting a bit on how she sat so she’s turned to face her dear friend.    ❝ Do you think that is because blood is life, basically? ❞   Innocent curiosity, Diem’s way of showing both support and interest in understanding Theodora’s new way of existence better. After all, nothing could be exactly like a book or a movie, right?

“Whenever I was first turned, I killed someone.” She confessed to her friend, although she went on to explain further, “I was so hungry, like I hadn’t ate in my entire life before, just this animalistic hunger. I was walking and there was a guy, trying to take advantage of this girl, he let her go whenever I showed up and she took off and he said some pretty nasty things to me, and I just got so mad, it was blinding, and I attacked him...and the worst part is I don’t feel guilty about it. I thought I’d feel guilty but I don’t and I don’t know if that’s just because he was a bad person, or if I’m just a monster now.”

        ❝ Hey–   Sorry for being late, ❞   she sighs, keys dropped onto the table beside the door and bag leaned against it’s legs. Diem slides her shoes off and immediately beelines for Theo, greeting her with a hug first and foremost.    ❝ I hate traffic. ❞   A smile as she pulls back, warm and soft.    ❝ Ready for movie night? ❞
