“You can’t adopt me! I already have parents.”
“Oh, well if that was the only thing bothering you, I can fix that.”
“What?”
“Preferably, if you give me your parents’ identities, I can get rid of them right now. Otherwise, I’d have to systematically get rid of all this city’s parents with kids who are roughly your age, gender, and ethnicity. It’d take me a while, but it’ll be worth it to have you as my kid.”
admittedly,person a has extremely dry chapped lips. it’s awful to even think about. person a claims it to be a defence mechanism to whoever wants to even try to kiss them. person b doesn’t give a single fuck.
person a jokingly flirts with person b and always ends it with: “fell for me yet?” and every single time person b would roll their eyes and ignore person a.
however, on an uneventful afternoon, person a goes for their usual act of a pick up line and a wink, ending it with their always unanswered question. expecting an eye roll or a sassy remark as usual from person b: instead, person a got an unbothered “yes” from them. now, person a has their jaw agape as they watch person b walk away, not noticing a faint smile on their face.
you know the moment that happens in most clichés: the accidental spill of coffee on someone’s shirt and providing a shirt to them. well, what if the coffee spilled on both of person aandperson b’s shirts? and that they have to buy a new shirts for each other because they don’t have extra clothing on them? oh, look there’s a 2 for 1 sale! HEY, LET’S MATCH OUTFITS-
person a has bad eye sight; like really bad and they can’t see most things without their trusty glasses. person b decides to give person a an eye test. person b writes something down on a piece of paper and tests person a. of course, person a can’t read shit and has to squint or complain that person b was too far away. then suddenly, person b moves closer to person a, fully aware that person a can see properly now, and asks them to read the paper aloud. person a smiles and whispers an ‘i love you too’ as person b shoves the piece of paper in person a’s stupid looking face.
person aknowsperson b steals their clothes often. so, taking that as an advantage: they slip small notes into the pockets of the clothing article. now, whenever person b stealsperson a’s clothes, they find a small note and falls in love with person a more.
person a can’t smile. well, they can but it’s more like a straight line whenever they smile. that’s why no one gets to see a ‘proper’ smile from person a because it isn’t really present. so, smiling at strangers who did something nice or catched their eye is an experience person a doesn’t want to relive. however, person ahelpedperson b carry their groceries and person b flashed them a smile: thanking them for helping them. this is when person a tries to smile awkwardly for 20 seconds while person b thinks their smile is charming.
person aandperson b are in the bed, and are suppose to be sleeping but person a had a different idea. when person b is fast asleep, person a slept too, however, after sliding an engagement ring onto person b’s finger. now, person a wonders about how person b would react, either:
→ the moment person b wakes up, they noticed the ring straight away and aggressively slaps person a awake, demanding an explanation.
or
→person b never noticed it, for a long time: even after person a tried to slip in some hints; until person a had enough and straight up told person b about it.
summer comes in with bright smiles, person a had just moved into a small town and they have been enjoying it so far. today, however, they were minding their business on a bench when they notice person b by the balcony: singing while hanging up wet clothes. entranced by person b’s beauty and voice, person a sets a mission to capture the attention of person b.
from now on everyday, person a would play songs on their guitar to try to get person b’s attention. they have been gathering many tips, too, but person a really just wants person b to notice them. so, person a continues this new routine until they catch person b staring at them.
y'all know the famous ‘confident gay and panic gay.’ but have you ever heard of 'panic gay and panic gay’, it’s basically panic gay². person a andperson b are the literate definition of it.
a day when person a felt a small wave of confidence flow through their body and decided to do a bold move towards person b.person b was shamelessly staring at person a and as they got out of their trance; person a sneaked in a wink at them. awkward stares ensues. now, person b is a puddle of bashfulness and person a is internally screaming out of embarrassment.
it’s raining heavily outside, the darkness paints the night sky as everything and everyone is blessed with the rain. person aandperson b is stuck inside their car with the low jazz music and the dim atmosphere. the cramp space in the car feels suffocating, how awful, really. it’s not like person a could potentially confess their undying love for person b right now!
Person A: “This plan is stupid.”
Person B: “Yes, but unfortunately stupid is all we’ve got.”
Person A: “Am I the only one who feels like this isn’t actually a gameanymore?”
Person B: “Honestly, I’m starting to doubt it ever was.”
Person A: “We’re going about this all the wrong way, aren’t we?”
Person B: “I believe we are, yes.”
Person A: “….Should we scrap everything and take it from the top?”
Person B: “I don’t think we have any other choice.”
Person A: “….Uhh….I’m pretty sure that’s meant to stay on the inside.”
Person B: “How the hell are you still standing?!”
Person A: “Honestly, your guess is as good as mine.”
Person A: “So, what are youin for, pipsqueak? Shoplifting from the toy store? Saying a bad word in front of a police officer?“
Person B: “I tortured and killed my parents, then burned down the building they were in, alongside several of their unconscious lackeys.”
Person A: “….oh.”
Person A: “Seems a little excessive, don’t you think?”
Person B: "Let’s see if you still think that afteryou’ve seen what we’re up against.”
Person A: “Happy birthday! Is there anything you want as a gift?”
Person B: “Oh, thank you, but no, spending time with you is more than enough. Honestly, I’m just glad you didn’t dump another surprise party on me this year.”
Person A: “Of course, no surprise party this year! Just you and me all by ourselves!…. On an unrelated note, lets eat dinner out tonight, my treat!”
