Hi! Love your blog! Any prompts for a character doing a matchmaking attempt and/or it not working? Thank you! <3
“You two are made for each other. Why isn’t it working?”
“See the eyes they’re making at each other? It’s going as planned.”
“I know they didn’t need my help, but honestly, I personally think they totally do.”
“If I didn’t get involved, nothing would get done!”
“Did I ever get a chance to say I’m proud of you?”
“Do you even want me around? ‘Cause you certainly don’t act like it.”
“Us misfits have to stick together or we’d have no one.”
“I shouldn’t be allowed to do anything when I’m this tired.”
“Look, you’re super clumsy and having you around this highly flammable project is like asking for trouble.”
“Bribing me with your cooking works every single time.”
“Staring into the mirror, my eyeliner smeared on my face, my hair resting gently on the side I looked like the poster child for the misunderstood broken hearted.”
how to be a true YEARNER (jk yearn how u want)
⇴ person a watching person b trail further and further off, and person a is frozen in place. person b—though walking away—seems closer than ever through person a's gaze
⇴ being completely hyper-focused on a book, yet every page, every beautiful metaphor reminds person a of person b
⇴ you two are both lying next to each other and you feel asleep. the person next to you has to try their hardest to resist the urge to reach out and touch you. just one stroke of the cheek is all the desire—the chance to have their hands brush across your soft skin.
⇴ "i just can't do it man" "do what?" "i can't just sit in front of them and act like everything's normal. i want more, but i know that it would be wrong to have it. but i need them. i feel crazy—am i crazy?"
⇴ person a keeps thinking about person b, even though they've only met once. once their eyes meet person b's, everything slows. nothing else matters except for the smile on their face. something clicked.
⇴ "have i ever told you that you were the one thing that just made sense?" "no, but go on." and the other person malfunctions because... well where do they start. how do they go about this w/o rambling, or letting their true feelings out?
⇴ the constant need to reach out. the constant need to grab their hand, rub their arm, and put your head on their shoulder.
⇴ wanting to know everything about them—little or big: their daily schedule, what shampoo they use, whether they are feeling the same as you. any crumb of information would be satisfactory
⇴ anxiously bouncing your knee in hopes that you can see them and have a conversation. finding any excuse to come up and talk. you just want to see them and have your eyes fall on their silhouette.
⇴ they laugh at something you said, and the melodious sound of their chuckle carries around the room, gracing your ears. now, you start planning another joke, hoping to hear that warm sound again.
⇴ "i don't think i can hide it anymore. how it's like my heart is on the verge of a heart attack when you text me. how i've delved into all your favorite movies, books, and tv shows ever since you've told me about them. how i wanted to be close to you—not just physically."
⇴ "i kept doing all these things just to see if you would do them with me. i really wanted you to be there with me."
⇴ the way that everything is fine and under control until they take one look at your lips.
⇴ "you're doing that thing by the way. when you lie to make someone feel better? you bite the inside of your bottom lip and nod, then you make this really pitying look with your eyes. like a squinty thing." "...wow"
This doesn’t mean anything She tells herself Over and over It’s static Meaningless words She knows it’s a lie It means everything Everything she does means something Even turning on the light The light The light The light Four times Eight times Twenty-four times And closing the door The door The door The door Again and again It all means something It didn’t feel right the first So she’ll do it again On Off On Off Her phone is going to get messed up On Off She doesn’t care On It didn’t feel right Off Turn this off Make it stop Stop Stop Stop
The marigolds looked beautiful, in the vase with the gold painted family, on the windowsill. The rain pounded against the window as I pressed my palm against it. I lifted the window to let the water in. It watered the plant, it watered me. The distant ring of the phone pulled me out of the crying sky. I picked it up. It was silent. I held onto it with a vice grip with my face still wet. The breathing on the other end sounded like a cry.
“Yeah,” I softly breathed, “I miss him too.”
