“You don’t have to keep saving people just to prove you have a right to exist,” they said quietly.
“Well.” They floundered, ears ringing. How could someone come out and say things like that? “Not just.” They tried to joke.
“Why did you lie to her?” “Definition of lie is not telling the truth. I told the truth, not just the one I was supposed to.”
How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.

“It’s very rude of you to make me fall in love with you. Inconsiderate, really.”

“I was wondering where you wandered off to. We don’t have a whole lot of time, remember?”
“Don’t interrupt my existential crisis.”
“I should probably go home at this point.”
“In my experience, this isn’t how things are supposed to go.”
“The AI isn’t programmed to be loyal to anyone.”
“Of all my bad ideas, I think I’m proud of this one the most.”
“If you get arrested, I don’t know you.”
A often texts C long paragraphs of just fluff and cuteness about their significant other, person B, and C loves it but jFC they should be telling B this. So C screenshots all the paragraphs and forwards them to B, but C fucks it up somehow and posts it all on the Internet and A is horrified because some of those are perceivably creepy and B has no idea it’s A talking about them. So B shows the screenshots to A, saying things like,“Damn need me a freak like that.” And A tells them it’s all their texts with actual proof and B is utterly wordless but then suddenly pulls A into a tight hug.
A beat of silence.
“I love you.”
1) “Can’t you at least try?” “I am trying! I am trying so damn hard can’t you see it? Can’t you see that this is killing me too?”

7) “I just wanted to fix it …” “Well you didn’t really do that, now did you?”
8) “I didn’t want to hurt you.”
9) “Do you always have to work late?” “The world of ghost hunting waits for no man!”
10) “Listen, this is all going to sound very crazy and none of it is going to make sense but this is a matter of life and death, I need all the fiberglass cables you have right now!” “Are you the high school drama teacher?” “I was but I got fired, I really can’t explain, this is seriously a matter of life or death!”
11) “Do you know how to dance?” “No …” “Come here, I’ll teach you. Nothing like dancing well the world is ending.”
12) “What’s with you and fire?” “My family all perished in a fire when I was young. I was the only survivor.” “Whoa, seriously?” “No, I just don’t fucking like it, Bob.”
13) “Don’t listen to them.” “That’s easy to say when you aren’t the one they’re yelling at.”
14) “I need your help with something.” “On a scale of jay walking to murder how illegal is it?” “Ummm … where does flooding a senators house fall?” “Say no more, I’m in.”
15) “I didn’t want it to be like this …” “Then why did you do it?” “I was angry.”
16) “It’s just a school dance.” “And outer space is just a deep dark void of unknown.” “How is that relevant?” “Weren’t we talking about spaceships?” “Like four hours ago?” “Shit, I think I accidentally time traveled again.”
17) “What circle of hell did I just walk into?”
18) “Mom? I made a mistake, I need help …”
19) “You should’ve called me.” “I thought you were still mad at me.” “I am! But you almost died. Almost dying tops missing a date. I’ll be mad at you later, but right now I’m here.”
20) “Don’t ever let anyone take away your smile. That means they win.”
A: “Let’s just forget this ever happened.”
B: “Agreed. But if we’re caught, you’re taking the blame.”
A: “This was your idea!”
A: “Hey–it’s okay, what’s wrong?”
B: “I’m sorry–I just thought something had happened to you. I don’t know what I would do …”
A: “I’m fine; I’m right here, see? Everything’s okay.”
A: “Is that my shirt?”
B: “Uh . . . maybe?”
A: “… you look better in it, anyway.”
A: “Hey–what the hell! You can’t just barge in here like that!”
B: “… Did you seriously just throw a ninja star at me?”
A: “It’s your fault for interrupting me! I was practicing my aim!”
B: “No kidding–you missed me by a mile.”
A: “Get. Out!”
A: “Ugh, kill me.”
B: “What’s wrong now?”
A: “Does something have to be wrong whenever I want to die?”
B: “Generally, yes.”
A: “… I’m bored.”
A: “You make some cute noises in your sleep.”
B: “W-what? Why were you watching me sleep? And besides–I don’t talk in my sleep and I never have!”
A: “Never said nothin’ about talking, sweetheart. Maybe some … moans.”
B: “ … I am going to kill you.”
A: “Do you ever think about . . . space?”
B: “. . . Are you high?”
A: “… Very.”
A: “I don’t dance.”
B: “Aw, c’mon! It’ll be fun!”

B: “You can’t be that bad.”
A: “Oh, believe me, I am.”
A: “Uh-oh.”
B: “You broke it!”
A: “No–this is your fault!”
B: “C’s going to kill you!”
A: “This was your idea, jackass!”
A: “Hey–are you listening to me?”
B: “What? I can’t hear you from down there.”
A: “I AM NOT THAT SHORT, YOU JERK!”
B: “Oh, I can hear you now. And yes, you really are.”
She pulled the girls hair back and tears threatened the corners of her eyes. She vaguely heard a voice and suddenly the world went black. When she awoke, she wasn’t in her apartment, but she recognised it as her ex-boyfriends…
Oh, I forgot how many asks I had and now I feel really bad for not answering them sooner, I’m sorry, they’re on their way! Just as a heads up- I love you all, in case you forgot…!
