❛ YOU KNOW, the fact that you don’t just take me at my word is unsettling. truly, what about me makes you think i would LIE ? what is my gain ? ❜ he bats long lashes at her, voice overly dramatic. [ when was it NOT ? ] he shakes his head with a grin && crosses his arms across broad chest. ❛ i like you, marge simpson. because of that, you should come with me. we’re going to the library to see if i can scare anyone with my prosthetic. && maybe afterwards, we’ll get some free cancer cookies at the bakery down the road that literally cannot give me enough cookies to satisfy their INTERNAL CRISIS of not being able to give me a replacement, fleshy leg. ❜
Their eyes meet & she’s instantly hooked – he spins the same web of nonsense that she’s so FOND of herself – finally she’s found an equal – a counterpart. It’s nice to know she’s not the only one out there yearning for something more – & twisting words to make it so. “SLIGHTLY above average ?? Impressive. Your smile, however – what awards did you win exactly ?? I’m going to need to see physical proof of those.”

❛ i know for a FACT that most girls do not like it. -------- when they see my leg, [ or LACK thereof, mind you ] they get ENRAGED. but that’s the beauty of a METAPHOR. it’s not supposed to make sense to those who cannot READ BETWEEN THE LINES. i never LIGHT it. [ trust me, the LAST thing i want is to have another bout of cancer. ] it’s just a SYMBOL of c o n t r o l in an otherwise tumultuous world. ❜
❛❛ —– what is it with you guys and holding cigarettes in your mouth ? do girls actually like that ?

----------------------------------- ❛ you’re j o k i n g, right? ❜ he questions, arching a brow at her with an amused, C R O O K E D grin on his lips. ❛ i could absolutely take on a tiger. maybe i could use my leg as a stick for it to fetch. ❜ of course he’s joking. he just wants to see her smile.

-------------------- ❛ but what DOES make sense these days? we’re all merely shouting into the void ----- && honestly, that’s even more CREEPY than my staring habit. i’m only S T A R I N G because you’re b e a u t i f u l. nothing creepy. near-death-experiences have a N A S T Y H A B I T of making you take life like every second actually MATTERS. like staring at a pretty girl in the library. i might NEVER get the chance again ! ❜
“That DOESN’T even make sense,” she huffs, irritated beyond belief. She came to the library ( alert the presses – Brooke Davis has set foot in a LIBRARY ) – for some peace & quiet while she works on some presidential paperwork ( despite having an office for that sort of thing – with all the foot-traffic passing by the door, it was hardly a productive place to work ). “Now – if you’re done being a MEGA-CREEP, I have things to get done.”

--------------------- ❛ YEAH ! it’s right down the street. ❜ he can’t help the E X C I T E D smile that touches his lips. she didn’t seem like the u s u a l girl. that, && her accent was beyond intoxicating. when she stands, he offers his arm for support. ❛ what kind of millennial prince charming would i be if i didn’t offer a cup of coffee to someone in need? STARBUCKS practically runs through our V E I N S. ❜
❛ you don’t have to do that, really. ❜ accented tongue speaks on AUTOPILOT — it’s true. peggy can buy her own cup of coffee, but she’s working on being less volatile about it. besides, she probably looks absolutely mad –––– if she saw someone like her acting odd on a bench, she’d probably try and offer help, too. peggy smiles, but it’s soft and a little bit slow. however, at the very least, it warms her — and gives her the willpower to stand. even if she doesn’t go to get coffee, peggy would have to stand EVENTUALLY. ❛ the caramel one sounds rather nice right about now. it’s nearby, you said ? ❜

-------------- ❛ there’s no need to pull the T E A C H E R into this. i’m just t r y i n g to save you from the C’s i make. ❜ he stares up at the ceiling as he settles onto his bed, flexing his usable leg on the bed. ❛ alright, alright. SO. here’s the game plan. i will buy you a pizza. you will tell me what we’re doing. i’d say we could do a reenactment of napoleon’s fall, but i’m like six-foot-four. ❜
‘ if you wanted someone SUPER SMART to be your partner, you probably should have asked someone like lydia martin or something, and not me. ’ granted, lydia isn’t actually in their class, but whatever. it’s HISTORY, which malia is actually fairly smart in, but that doesn’t mean the coyote’s about to let anyone walk all over her and force HER to do the project for the both of them. ‘ look, i’m swamped enough in math as is. i can’t do an entire history project on my own, and i’m not going to. so you can pick a place to meet and work on it, or i can tell the TEACHER about how you’re pawning it all off on me. ’

------------------- ❛ if it’s COFFEE you need, i’d be more than happy to buy you a cup. there’s this place down the street that adds whatever you want to your coffee. i kind of like the CARAMEL one. ❜ is he one to GIVE UP ? not a chance. she was beautiful, && the L A S T thing he wanted to be doing right now was studying for his upcoming history exam.

Some days I feel so much
I want to tear my heart
out of my chest
so I can stop feeling
some days I feel so little
that I am not sure
I am even alive anymore
I do not know
which one is the blessing
and which one is the curse

-------------- there’s a moment that a S P A R K is clear in his bright blue gaze. he’s never met someone so LIKE-MINDED. ( && by that, someone so willing to cover their ass with existential bullshit on a moments notice. ) ❛ ---------you make a VALID POINT, marge. ❜ he smirks just a bit. ❛ i’d like to think i’m here only at the hand of GOD himself, who clearly expects me to rock the world with my SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE INTELLIGENCE && AWARD WINNING SMILE. ❜
Her smirk evolves into something much more genuine when she takes in the sight of his grin – it’s infectious. “Marge is fine. You could’ve stuck with it.” She’s one of those firstie-lasties – never hearing her name spoken unless it was in it’s entirety. It was a nice change – even if it was the wrong name. “You can have more than a second. Time is valuable, but I have plenty to spare.” She tries not to look as he adjusts – doesn’t want him to think she’s watching him like a caged animal. His question is one she doesn’t have an answer to – & in true Margo fashion, she attempts to tip-toe around it. “Why are any of us here ?? It’s really an existential wondering – something that mankind has pondered for eons.”

---------------- he resists the urge to s m i l e. or at least, he attempts to. he ends up with his crooked grin, a shake of his head signaling his amusement. ❛ margo. ❜ he corrects himself, her name settling on his tongue easily. ❛ sorry ----- give me a second, ❜ he requests, bending over && pulling at the hem of his pants leg to expose his p r o s t h e t i c. he adjusts the base, face contorting just slightly in d i s c o m f o r t. he sighs && straightens again. ( as straight as his terrible posture could get, that is. ) ❛ so... why are you here? ❜
She’s too amused to CORRECT him, a smirk pulling at her lips. While she doesn’t associate with him – she knows exactly who he is ( maybe not for the right reasons – high schoolers gossip ) – but it’s not like she views it as a bad thing. Yes – cancer sucks – but he beat the odds – & he’s probably far more interesting than some two-legged people she knows. “Yup – that’s me. MARGE SIMPSON.”

college verse. the pain didn't come back. he went on to college -- switching his degree a few times between philanthropist and scientist and then considering just dropping out to be an activist. he just knows he wants to leave a mark on the world that no one can deny.
