you're my angel

“Did you just steal cherries out of that garden?”      “Ah, the guy who lives there steals our apples. It's a mutual understanding.”

“Truck broke down, eh? Wanna hop in? There ain't a gas station anywhere within the next 10 miles or so.”      “Don't hold it over my head later.”      “Oh, I absolutely will.”

“I'd get out of there if I was you.”      “Why? It's just cows.”      “Sure. But their bull just spotted you from over there, and he does not look happy.”      “Oh, shit.”

“Seriously? I make out in my truck once and it gets in the town paper?”      “Last month they had an article about a branch that fell. Trust me, we are currently the talk of the town.”

“Heard your ex showed up at the diner during your shift.”      “I didn't realise you were part of the grapevine now.”      “My neighbor makes very good cherry pie and she is very well connected… You good though?”      “Yeah. Thanks for checking up on me.”

“What do you think you're doing? If you try to chop wood that way, you'll end up with an axe in your knee before you got enough to even light a fire. Come on, I'll show you.”

“Oh my god, what are you doing here?”      “Oh, I was just on a nice walk in the storm. I came to check on you when the power went out, dummie. I know you don't like the dark.”

“Did you hear the news? John Smith's little one was seen running around with that delinquent that vandalized the town hall building!”      “No! But that was always such a sweetheart!”      “Well, you know what they say about apples and trees. Have you heard about what their mother did during the prom of ‘86?”      “Why don’t you come in? I just put coffee on.”

“You’re the only one I can trust not to sugar coat it.”

“Not gonna go easy on you.” “I’d be insulted if you did.”

“Wow, you really are obsessed with me. Come on, following me and trying to figure out my routine?”

“Even if I did think you were hot, it doesn’t change that I’m simply better than you in every other way.”

“How’s it feel? Always standing in my shadow?”

“I need some advice. And as much as I hate you, I know we’re more similar than we’d like to admit.”

“I don’t hate your ambition. It’s something I always did rather… respect.”

“Next time, I’m gonna crush you.”

Little Throuple Moments

A leaning off the side of their chair dangerously far to hand something to B and C holding A's leg down as counter weight

A having a stomach ache and B fussing over them while C lightly mock-pities them and gets scolded by B

A and B having a fight that they put on hold when they notice C getting stressed out by it

A and B manhandling and teasing C in bed together

unimportant decisions with argument-potential (vacation destination, dinner plans, ...) are made with anonymous votes

fighting over who gets to walk in the middle and hold both hands

all three having vastly different needs, meaning they complete each other perfectly

having a shared calender so they know what everyone else is up to and when they are free

stealing clothes among each other until no one knows who originally owned what
