        if there’s anyway to get heather to do what someone wanted, it would be to butter her up with compliments first. what can she say ?? she won’t turn down an ego stroke. ❝ yeah. i figured that out when you called my heel stretch a scorpion. ❞ a mistake someone who knew nothing about cheer would make. and what kind of recruiter would that be ?? but hey if she got a free meal out of it she was willing to listen. even if her allowance would cover for it - things always taste better when someone else paid for it. pink nails tap briefly against the table before heather is leaning in to take a sip of her milkshake. ❝ so what exactly is it that you want then ?? if you want some sort of in with my parents, sorry to say you picked the wrong sibling to try that with. ❞

‘  we  never  painted  by  the  numbers,  but  we  were  making  it  count.  ’

‘  you  know  the  greatest  loves  of  all  time  are  over  now.  ’

‘  we  were  something,  don’t  you  think  so  ?  ’

‘  in  my  defense,  i  have  none.  ’

‘  if  my  wishes  came  true,  it  would  have  been  you.  ’

‘  when  you  are  young  they  assume  you  know  nothing.  ’

‘  i  knew  you’d  haunt  all  of  my  what-if’s.  ’

‘  you  drew  scars  around  my  stars  but  now  i’m  bleeding.  ’

‘  i  knew  i’d  curse  you  for  the  longest  time.  ’

‘  who  knows  if  you / he / she / they ‘d  never  showed  up,  what  could  have  been.  ’

‘  i  had  a  marvelous  time  ruining  everything.  ’

‘  you’re  laughing,  but  the  joke’s  not  funny  at  all.  ’

‘  you’re  not  my  homeland  anymore.  ’

‘  you  were  my  crown,  now  i’m  in  exile.  ’

‘  all  this  time,  we  always  walked  a  very  thin  line.  ’

‘  your  eyes  add  insult  to  injury.  ’

‘  if  i’m  on  fire,  you’ll  be  made  of  ashes  too.  ’

‘  did  i  deserve  all  the  hell  you  gave  me  ?  ’

‘  i  loved  you,  i  swear  i  loved  you  til  my  dying  day.  ’

‘  if  i’m  dead  to  you,  why  are  you  at  the  wake  ?  ’

‘  i  still  talk  to  you  while  i’m  screaming  at  the  sky.  ’

‘  you  had  to  kill  me  but  it  killed  you  just  the  same.  ’

‘  i  know  they  said  the  end  is  near.  ’

‘  i’ll  be  shining  just  for  you.  ’

‘  i’m  still  a  believer,  but  i  don’t  know  why.  ’

‘  i’ve  never  been  a  natural,  all  i  do  is  try.  ’

‘  i  used  to  scream  ferociously  any  time  i  wanted.  ’

‘  i  love  you  to  the  moon  and  saturn.  ’

‘  our  love  lasts  so  long.  ’

‘  i  can  see  us  lost  in  the  memory.  ’

‘  you  were  never  mine.  ’

‘  do  you  remember  ?  ’

‘  i  remember  thinking  i  had  you.  ’

‘  i  was  living  for  the  hope  of  it  all.  ’

‘  i  didn’t  know  if  you’d  care  if  i  came  back.  ’

‘  i  have  a  lot  of  regrets  about  that.  ’

‘  i  don’t  quite  know  what  to  say,  but  i’m  here  in  your  doorway.  ’

‘  at  least  i’m  trying.  ’

‘  it’s  hard  to  be  anywhere  these  days  when  all  i  want  is  you.  ’

‘  you  showed  me  colors  you  know  i  can’t  see  with  anyone  else.  ’

‘  look  at  this  idiotic  fool  that  you’ve  made  me.  ’

‘  for  you  i  would  ruin  myself  a  million  little  times.  ’

‘  time,  curious  time,  cutting  me  open  and  healing  me  fine.  ’

‘  all  along  there  was  some  invisible  string  tying  you  to  me.  ’

‘  hell  was  the  journey  but  it  brought  me  heaven.  ’

‘  what  did  you  think  i’d  say  to  that  ?  ’

‘  what  a  shame  she  went  mad.  ’

‘  you  took  everything  from  me.  ’

‘  you  want  a  single  glimpse  of  relief  to  make  sense  of  what  you’ve  seen.  ’

‘  it’s  like  i  couldn’t  breathe.  ’

‘  the  worst  thing  that  i  ever  did  was  what  i  did  to  you.  ’

‘  i  dreamt  of  you  all  summer  long.  ’

‘  right  now  is  the  last  time  i  can  dream  about  what  happens  when  you  see  my  face  again.  ’

‘  i  don’t  know  anything,  but  i  know  i  miss  you.  ’

‘  the  rain  is  always  going  to  come  if  you’re  standing  with  me.  ’

‘  i’m  a  fire  and  i’ll  keep  your  brittle  heart  warm.  ’

‘  i  would  die  for  you  in  secret.  ’

‘  would  it  be  enough  if  i  could  never  give  you  peace  ?  ’

‘  no  other  sadness  in  the  world  would  do.  ’

‘  your  faithless  love  is  the  only  hoax  i  believe  in.  ’

‘  i  don’t  belong,  and  my  beloved  neither  do  you.  ’

‘  i  want  you  right  here.  ’

EVERMORE.

‘  i  never  would  have  known  by  the  look  on  your  face.  ’

‘  the  more  that  you  say,  the  less  i  know.  ’

‘  wherever  you  stray,  i’ll  follow.  ’

‘  i  dropped  your  hand  while  dancing.  ’

‘  love  slipped  beyond  your  reaches,  and  i  couldn’t  give  a  reason.  ’

‘  i  never  was  ready,  so  i  watched  you  go.  ’

‘  sometimes  you  just  don’t  know  the  answer  til’  someone’s  on  their  knees  and  asks  you.  ’

‘  what  a  shame  she’s  fucked  in  the  head.  ’

‘  everybody  wonders  what  it  would  be  like  to  love  you.  ’

‘  what  must  it  be  like  to  grow  up  that  beautiful  ?  ’

‘  my  mind  turns  your  life  into  folklore.  ’

‘  there’s  an  ache  in  you,  put  there  by  the  ache  in  me.  ’

‘  i  won’t  ask  you  to  wait  if  you  don’t  ask  me  to  stay.  ’

‘  the  heart  i  know  i’m  breaking  is  my  own.  ’

‘  you’re  so  much  older,  and  wiser.  ’

‘  i  know  my  love  should  be  celebrated,  but  you  tolerate  it.  ’

‘  if  it’s  all  in  my  head,  tell  me  now.  ’

‘  you  assume  i’m  fine  but  what  would  you  do  if  i  break  free  and  leave  us  in  ruins  ?  ’

‘  i  think  he / she / they  did  it,  but  i  just  can’t  prove  it.  ’

‘  i’m  not  letting  up  until  the  day  i  die.  ’

‘  you  haven’t  met  the  new  me  yet.  ’

‘  there  is  happiness  in  our  history.  ’

‘  you’re  haunted  by  the  look  in  my  eyes  that  would  have  loved  you  for  a  lifetime.  ’

‘  i  can’t  make  it  go  away  by  making  you  a  villain.  ’

‘  when  did  your  winning  smile  begin  to  look  like  a  smirk  ?  ’

‘  sorry,  i  can’t  see  facts  through  all  of  my  fury.  ’

‘  do  you  ever  stop  and  think  about  me  ?  ’

‘  it’s  never  too  late  to  come  back  to  my  side.  ’

‘  i  guess  i’ll  never  know,  and  you’ll  go  on  with  the  show.  ’

‘  you  know  you’ll  always  know  me.  ’

‘  did  i  paint  your  bluest  skies  the  darkest  grey  ?  ’

‘  did  you  love  me,  or  were  you  too  polite  to  leave  me  ?  ’

‘  your  touch  brought  forth  an  incandescent  glow.  ’

‘  i  sit  here  and  wait,  grieving  for  the  living.  ’

‘  my  pain  fits  in  the  palm  of  your  freezing  hand.  ’

‘  i  can’t  stop  you  putting  roots  in  my  dreamland.  ’

‘  i’d  live  and  die  for  moments  that  we  stole  on  begged  and  borrowed  time.  ’

‘  takes  one  to  know  one.  ’

‘  you’re  a  bandit  like  me.  ’

‘  forever  is  the  sweetest  con.  ’

‘  you  had  some  tricks  up  your  sleeves.  ’

‘  now  i  know  i’m  never  going  to  love  again.  ’

‘  i  tried  to  pick  my  battles  until  the  battle  picked  me.  ’

‘  your  nemeses  will  defeat  themselves  before  they  get  the  chance  to  swing.  ’

‘  you’re  alive  in  my  head.  ’

‘  what  died  didn’t  stay  dead.  ’

‘  it  cut  deep  to  know  you  right  to  the  bone.  ’

‘  i  can’t  remember  what  i  used  to  fight  for.  ’

‘  in  the  cracks  of  light,  i  dreamed  of  you.  ’

‘  i  had  a  feeling  so  peculiar.  ’

‘  i’m  right  where  you  left  me.  ’

‘  i’m  still  sitting  in  a  corner  i  haunt.  ’

‘  if  my  love  died  young,  i  can’t  bear  witness.  ’

‘  you  left  me  no  choice  but  to  stay  here  forever.  ’

‘  it’s  that  old  familiar  body  ache,  from  the  same  little  break  in  your  soul.  ’

‘  sometimes  giving  up  is  the  strong  thing.  ’

‘  sometimes  to  run  is  the  brave  thing.  ’

‘  you  know  when  it’s  time  to  go.  ’

"𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥" 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘴.

i'm a sucker for that scene where one person is injured and alone and ends up knocking on another person's door in their hour of need, and i'm an even bigger sucker for the tending to the injuries and the quiet emotional content that follows, and i'm here to make it everyone else's problem! as always, to reverse the actions, just add "+ REVERSE" to the end!

from the injured.

" i didn't know where else to go... "

" whatever you've been told about me, whatever you've heard or seen or listened to... none of it's true. "

" at least i have you to look after me, eh? "

" would you believe me if i said i got all these injuries by slipping in the rain? "

" i'm sorry... i know this isn't what you signed up for. "

" you're the only one i can trust. "

" do you believe what they're saying about me? "

" aren't you going to say i told you so? "

" i am grateful, you know. for everything you've ever done for me... i notice. and i see you. and i've never thanked you properly before, so... thank you. "

" i know i must be the last person you expected to see tonight, but... i'm afraid i have nowhere else to turn to. "

" thank you for not asking questions. "

" i know you have no reason to believe me, much less to trust me, but... i promise you. i swear to you, i am being set up. "

" you know, you'd make a nice profit if you turned this place into a safehouse. "

" why are you helping me? "

" why the hell did you open your door for me if you're so angry at me?! "

to the injured.

" quickly, get in before anyone sees you... "

" you came to the right place. hurry, get in... "

" what the hell happened to you!? "

" are you going to tell me what happened to you tonight? "

" i assume that the rumors surrounding you are all false and unrelated to why you're bleeding out on my sofa? "

" do you honestly expect me to just forget about the past so i can bandage you up? "

" you don't need to thank me. you'd fix me up if i came to your door with this much trouble, too. "

" regardless of everything you've said and done in the past, there isn't a single part of me that wouldn't open the door when you're knocking on it. "

" we can talk in the morning. for now, you need to rest. "

" i found you unconscious on my doorstep. "

" oh, i get it. i can stitch you up and let you get blood all over my bed sheets until the cows come home, but heaven forbid i start to ask questions about why you're bleeding in the first place. "

" things must be really bad if you're trying to say i was your best chance at being helped. "

" don't be stupid. you're not going anywhere. come on, back into bed... "

" i called in sick. we have the whole day to figure out what your next moves are going to be. "

" good! you're awake. i was beginning to worry... "

" you're not allowed to die in my bedroom. the rumours would never stop... "

" perhaps we ought to let bygones be bygones. until i'm confident that you're not going to die on my sofa, that is. "

" it's a bit late to worry about dragging me into your mess, don't you think? "

" you know why i opened that door... "

ACTIONS.

[ BANDAGE ]: sender gently begins to bandage receiver's wounds.

[ BED ]: sender guides receiver into bed, tucking them in and taking a seat by their bedside.

[ FEVER ]: having noticed the receiver beginning to spike a fever, sender presses a cool cloth to their forehead to try and bring it down.

[ CLOTHES ]: after tending to the receiver's wounds, sender brings them fresh clean clothes to change into.

[ FOOD ]: after ensuring the receiver is safe and stable, sender brings them out a plate of food.

[ BATH ]: sender runs the recently-cared-for receiver a hot bath.

[ WAIT ]: aftering tending to the receiver's injuries, sender takes a seat across for them, and patiently waits for them to start explaining what happened.

[ CATCH ]: noticing the receiver beginning to collapse on their doorstep, sender hastily catches them and brings them inside.

[ KISS ]: sender, after being cared for by the receiver, breaks the tension that's been building since they walked through the door, and pulls them in for a kiss.

[ HOLD ]: having been bandaged and cared for by the receiver, sender unexpectedly reaches out to take their hand and hold it in a quiet, sincere gesture of gratitude.

mentor/mentee vibes (because ur worth it–)

aka i really love the energy of this dynamic, but unfortunately this whole effort turned into me typing down actual dialogue that happened in my car while my poor father tried to teach me how to drive. but they make for fun threads! bon appetit!

from the mentor.

“ you’re doing it wrong. ”

“ would you like me to show you how to do it? ”

“ that… that’s not how you do it. ”

“ maybe this mentoring stuff requires patience that i don’t have. ”

“ keep doing it like that, and you’ll end up hurting yourself. ”

“ correct me if i’m wrong, but that’s not how i showed you to do it, is it? ”

“ okay, alright, look at me. you looking? do it exactly like i’m doing it. ”

“ move your feet, come on, you’ve got to move if you don’t want to end up flat on your ass again! ”

“ look… it’s progress, yeah? you’re better than you were before. ”

“ don’t beat yourself up; it’s a tricky move, nobody gets it right the first time. ”

“ okay, let’s… let’s try a different tactic. ”

“ you’re overthinking it. don’t think; just be in the moment. ”

“ stop, stop… alright. looking back on what you’ve just done, what do you think i’m going to say? ”

“ there’s definitely plenty of room for improvement. ”

“ ah… god, okay, don’t cry… it’s not as bad as it looks, you’re really not as bad at this as you think! ”

“ we’ll get there together. ”

“ okay. time for a break, yeah? let’s stop for now, catch a breath, we can come back to it later. ”

“ you obviously don’t enjoy any of this; why do you want me to teach you so badly? ”

“ i could teach you, if you’d like? ”

“ come on, like i showed you, remember? ”

“ feet apart, hands up; anticipate your opponent’s movements! ”

“ alright… don’t think about getting hit. this isn’t a fight. it’s a dance. you move in response and in anticipation of your opponent. ”

“ who the hell taught you to do that?! ”

“ that wasn’t terrible! you didn’t butcher it this time! ”
