PROMPTS FOR THE FORCED PROXIMITY TROPE
* assorted dialogue for the moments and circumstances that force two characters to spend time together, adjust as necessary
who said i agreed to any of this?
i said i would help you. i didn't say i would be nice to you while i'm helping you.
you scratch my back and i'll scratch yours.
oh no. don't tell me it's locked.
i was hired to protect you. that's my job.
i'm actually starting to tolerate you, believe it or not.
i don't want to be stuck here with you.
i'll work with anyone but you.
i'm not letting you sleep on the floor.
they're forcing me to work with you and i don't like it.
how long do you think we'll be stuck here?
is that the only tent we have?
i think we're snowed in here. we'd better find a way to stay warm.
it's going to take a few days for them to reach us.
you sleep in that room, and i'll take this one.
you can't get rid of me that easily.
i'm just going to come right out and say it - i hate being here just as much as you do, but we have to make this work.
don't get any ideas.
i'm going to see if they'll switch my room.
until you came along, i had this under control.
if we're going to survive this, we'd better work together.
why did they sit me next to you?
i'd like to be as far away from you as possible.
out of all the people in the world, i had to get stuck with you.
guess you're just gonna have to get over it.
i thought you were worse than this.
i'm not going anywhere, and neither are you.
you're not exactly my favorite person to be around.
well, get used to it. i'm not leaving.
i told them i don't need a bodyguard.
i never wanted to spend this much time with you.
all this time spent together has really opened my eyes.
you're not as bad as i thought you were.
we might as well try to get along.
i guess i should learn a little bit about you.
i think that means we're the only ones left.
there's no way i'm sharing a room with you.
you again? i've seen enough of you already.
i thought [name] was coming. why are you here?
they're counting on us to save them.
since we'll be here for a while... might as well make the best out of it.
i think we can set aside our differences for two minutes and work this out.
honestly, i think i was wrong about you at first.
there's absolutely no way i'm working with you.
fine, but you're sleeping on the floor. i'll take the bed.
as your bodyguard, i'm supposed to stay with you at all times.
i think we're snowed in for a while.
you could always sleep on this side of the bed.
we have to at least pretend we like each other.
the whole point in having a bodyguard is for me to keep you safe.
i don't like asking for your help, but here i am, asking.
you and i are the only ones who can deal with this.
you don't have a say in the matter.
looks like we're stuck here.
just sleep in the bed with me. i'll even make a pillow wall between us.
i'm not sharing a tent with you.
i need you to stay out of my way.
could you at least "guard" me from over there? why do you have to stand so close?

it's a flaw they both share: the way they're not truly good at talking about themselves, how maeve's tongue feels like she's trying to wrap her mind around a new language, trying to breathe life into things she's only ever seen written down. she's fine. she's fine. she doesn't know how to label own feelings outside of that one label - that one easy dismissal. but it's an injustice to how much friend cares to not at least try to talk through things with her.
for carol's ease of mind, not her own. ❝ I just... ❞ it's small. two words that feel like she's tearing her own walls down, letting waves of doubt flood in. maeve is so very good at always pretending && still there is only so much she can take before it's all too far passed. ❝ I'm so tired of it, carol. ❞ it's an admission brunette is pretty sure there's no torture for others to be able to drag it out of her - no amount of pain that would get her to tell anyone else. but this is carol and she is. she's so very tired. every time she thinks she might finally have a handle on own life...
❝ the constant death. the fact every part of everything I try not to do is tied into it. knotted with it. ❞ she can't breathe without feeling own death over and over, as if she never clawed her way out of own coffin. ❝ what does it say about me? I can either kill a room full of people with barely a wish, or I can apparently sketch upcoming disasters like some kind of siren of death? ❞
the blonde thinks it is a helluva lot more serious than it seems. sure, it's already pretty fucking messed up with the minimal knowledge that she has, & don't even get her started on the fact that her friend has to DIE for this. there are people who actively seek this kind of ability : visions of the future. it never ends well. yes, she knows. she's been a part of it too many times to her liking. someone always tries to control the gifted party.
❛ i know it doesn't help much, but . . . i am sorry that you have to go through this. ❜ she can't even promise to be around when it happens again because they both know how complicated her schedule tends to be. years ago, Carol had a sort of 6th sense. it came in handy sometimes, but it was also UNSETTLING. & it is nothing compared to this. ❛ i know you don't want to keep digging into this, so i will keep this between us, obviously. however, you gotta call me if you need anything, please ? promise ? ❜
she will try her BEST to be here when needed. yes, she knows how independent Maeve is, but she can't pretend she doesn't know. ❛ i know we both have consciences, so i didn't think it was. ❜ if they roles were reversed, she'd want to do whatever she could to help. ❛ it's a high price to pay, not sure how that's fair. i know there's nothing i can do, which sucks. ❜ she sighs. ❛ i hope you know you are not alone. i care about you. ❜
