Responses to "Careful, or I will fall for you."

“Careful, or I might catch you when you do.”

“I hear the landing is rough.”

“Oh, the horror.”

“Haha. Yeah… That would be bad.”

“Had I known you were this easy, I would have done that long ago.”

“If you haven’t already, I think we’re safe.”

“You’re jesting.” “...Yes.” “Good.”

“You’re just saying things.”

“That would be a long fall, I’m afraid. Not sure your heart could take it.”

“You've been threatening me with that for years now."

“Don’t expect me to do anything nice for you ever again.”

“That’s what gets you going?” “Hey. No judging." 

“We always knew that day would come.”

“Rather sounds like you’d be enamored with what I have to offer, and not with… who I am.”

“With how clumsy you are, I’m surprised it hasn’t already happened.”

“How about you stop flirting with me and pay attention to your surroundings inste—?” “Ouch.”

“Please. You’re already halfway in love with me. Just admit it.”

“...Would that be so awful?”

“You’ll be fine. I’ll buy you some knee pads.” “Knee pads but no helmet?” “If you’re falling for me, you’ve already taken a hit to the head.”

Laundry Prompts

“It was either this or doing my laundry, so… Here I am.”

“This is neither the time nor the place to air out any dirty laundry.” 

They find something in the other’s trouser pockets/etc. right before putting it into the washing machine. 

“This is about as exciting as watching the washing machine spin.”

“I love you. But that first night spent sleeping on freshly washed bed sheets? Superior.”

“I found this in the washer. Is it yours?”

They are too lazy to do the laundry, so they decide to walk around naked instead.

“You’ve never done the laundry before?”

“Don’t tell me you’re going to throw the towel.”

“Did you accidentally climb into the washing machine and got spun around and around and around? Because that’s the only explanation I can find for all that gibberish you’re talking.”

“But I don’t want to do the laundry.”

“How did you do that?” “What?” “The folding thing. Takes me usually ten tries to make it look even somewhat okay, and you just…”

“Their kissing technique was reminiscent of a washing machine.”

They accidentally ruined the other’s clothes when washing them and are now afraid to tell them.

“You have more issues than there are clothes in the laundry basket. And I haven’t done the laundry in days.”

“Ugh. Did nobody ever teach you to throw your dirty clothes into the laundry basket?

“Sorry. It’s laundry day.”

They met someone in the shared laundry room of the apartment complex and now always dress up when doing their laundry. Of course, it is the one time they don’t that they run into the other once more. 

“The clothes are going to smell badly if we leave them in the washer any longer.” “Hmmmm.” “We should probably get them.” “Hmmmm. Probably.” 

“You’re ironing your underwear?”

“Don’t you think it’s too soon into our relationship to do the laundry together?”

"Is that a smile I spy?" Prompts

“Oh my god. You’re smiling!” “No, I’m not. Fuck off.”

“What? What’s with that smile?”

Try hard not to stare at the stunning (first) smile they see blossoming on the other’s lips.

“Why did they smile at you?”

“I can’t just smile on command.”

“Remember to smile every now and then, yeah? (We don’t want you to scare them all away.)”

“You’re so bad at this.” “I don’t know what you mean.” “The corners of your mouth. They are twitching.”

“You have the most beautiful smile, you know that?”

“I can’t stop smiling.”

Think their smile is ugly and try to hide it. The other is having none of it. 

“I hate when you smile like that.”

“A smile a day keeps the doctor away.” “Yeah… I don’t think that’s how the saying goes.”

“Is that a smile I spy?” 

Take on the (almost) impossible task to not break into a smile. 

“Say cheese!”

“I just want(ed) to make you smile.”

Cover their emotions with a smile, hoping nobody will notice. The other, however, catches on (almost) immediately.

“You can’t even hide your smile. So, spill. Who is this mysterious person that makes you all giddy and insufferable?”

“Uh-oh.” “What’s wrong?” “That’s their ‘oh, you messed with the wrong bitch, bitch’ face.”

“Stop smiling.”

“A smile could go a long way.” (“Well, mine went all the way to [country] and is currently enjoying its vacation there. So, you’ll have to come up with a better plan/idea.”)

“One smile from them and they’ll be putty in their hands. Watch.”

Their fingers tenderly pull up the corners of the mouth of the other. 

“It’s almost like you don’t know how to smile.”

As soon as the other leaves, their smile drops. 

“You look like an idiot.” “You know, other people would say it’s nice to see me so happy. Or that I have a beautiful smile.”

“My face hurts.”

"That should wipe the smile off their face."

"Uh-oh. I know that smile."

“So you can smile!”

Cannot help but smile in response to the one already on the other’s lips. 

“There it is, just the smile I was looking for.”

“Your smile is a knockout, baby!” “Why are you still standing then?”

“You look like you’re going to your doom instead of to a celebration/etc. Smile, for goodness sake.”

"You know very well what that smile of yours does to me."

“You just had to smile back at them, didn’t you?” “What else was I supposed to do? Ignore them?”

Feel the other smile against their lips/skin.

“I don’t like that smile.” “Then I doubt you’ll like what’s coming next.”

"All in." Prompts

“You’re it for me.”

“Fuck it. I’m in.” 

“Too late. I’m already yours.”

“You know what your problem is? You never follow through.”

“For you, I’m willing to risk it all.”

“The world is going to hell anyway. Might as well add to the madness.”

“Not even you will be able to stop me.”

“I love you.”

“For once, I’m completely serious.”

“Maybe it will fail. Maybe it will ruin everything. But I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself if I didn’t at least try.”

“I want to know everything about you.”

“It’s you and me against the world, baby.”

“No, you weren’t. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have done this.”

“Count me in.”

“Nothing - no matter how weird or dark - could ever change the way I feel about you.”

“For now and the rest of our days, I’m yours. Completely. Irrevocably.”

“I’ll do everything to prove it to you.”

“I’m not going anywhere.”

“I don’t give a damn about the consequences.”

Schedule Prompts

“Am I just an appointment to you? Something you can simply tick off your list?”

Know the other’s schedule by heart (- which might lead to a few raised eyebrows and suspicious/teasing looks from other people).

“I barely see you anymore.”

“That wasn’t on my schedule.” “And you weren’t part of my life plan.”

“Could you drive [name] to school/etc. tomorrow/etc.?”

Pencil themself into the other’s schedule.

“My schedule unexpectedly freed up, so I thought… Why not visit my favorite person?”

“Don’t let me keep you. (You clearly have more important things to do than to talk to me. Your partner.)”

“I’m going to mark/put that in my calendar right now, lest I forget.”

“I know today is your free evening/etc. and I wouldn’t ask if… If I didn’t need your help.” 

Since they know their partner/etc. is/should be occupied, they use the free time slot to prepare something for them/do something (they shouldn’t)/etc.

“Wouldn’t you rather spend your time living than planning out your every move?”

“Can it wait? I don't have time right now.”

“I know, I know. I’m a little behind schedule. But…”

“This is not supposed to happen. Not now. I have things to do. Things to take care of.”

Be stressed because they have fallen behind schedule. The other offers them some stress relief.

“We agreed on this weeks ago.” “Well, now, I’m not in the mood for it anymore.”

“Could we reschedule?”

Be stressed and annoyed because something (or someone) disturbed their schedule. 

“Right on schedule. Like always.”

“I don’t want to hope for a gap in your schedule just to be able to see you.”

“We’re going to make the most of it, okay? Quality over quantity.”

Only truly realize how used they got to the other’s presence when their schedules don’t align/intertwine anymore. 

“I’m canceling my plans/appointments. You’re more important.”

The weekly scheduled meeting with the other becomes the highlight of their week.

“I hate having to schedule dates with you.” “I know. Me too. Yet it’s better than not being able to see each other at all.”

Flower Prompts

“Did you pick them out yourself?”

Stumble upon a dried flower in their partner’s book/private stuff. (One, that looks vaguely familiar. Is that the one they gave them for their first date?)

Wonder if bringing flowers to the date is too much. 

“I’ve never received any before.”

“What did you do?” “What?” “You only ever give me flowers when you have something to confess. So, shoot. I'm listening.”

Know the other is well versed in the language of flowers, and spend hours trying to pick out the right one for them. 

Put a flower in the other’s hair. 

“What’s not to like about flowers?”

Gift the other flowers they are allergic to.

Only realize this is a date and not just a normal hangout when the other gives them flowers. 

“You spoil me.”

“You need to buy a vase.” “Why? This does perfectly fine.” “For now, sure. But what if I wanted to give you flowers every single day from now on?”

“Let me get this straight: You broke into [name]’s garden to pick some of their award-winning flowers for me? How are you still alive?”

Only realize how meaningful the flowers gifted to them are when the other explains why they picked those specific ones.

“They love me, they love me not,...”

See a vase of flowers at the other’s place and wonder if someone else gave them to them. 

“Flowers make me sad.”

Stare at a vase of flowers, gifted to them by the other just hours/etc. before their argument/breakup. 

Receive a flower bracelet/crown made by the other. 

“Do you give all your dates flowers?”

Place a flower on a casket.

“Did I forget our anniversary (again)?”

Receive gifts from an anonymous admirer. First a vase, then a new flower every day. 

Walk into a room that has flower petals strewn all over the floor.

“They smell almost as good as you do.”

“Don’t read too much into it. It’s just a flower. It doesn’t mean anything.”

Date someone who, contrary to them, does not have even a single plant in their apartment/etc.

They imagined lying in a flower field with their partner/etc. to be more romantic than it truly is.

“For something half dead, flowers sure are expensive.”

Think the other wanted to express something specific to them with their flower choice. Turns out, they simply thought they looked nice. 

“What’s your favorite flower?” “Huh? Why?” “One of these days, somebody might want to surprise you with some.” / ”No reason,” only for them to receive some a few days later.

"Together." Prompts

“You and me, together for the rest of our lives. How does that sound?”

“You can count on me.”

“It’s none of my business, but… Are you guys okay? It’s been a while since I last saw you together.”

“You already are a handful. Together, you guys are insufferable.”

“Together? As in ‘you and me’ together?”

“We’re a package deal.”

“It’s just me. And you.”

“Just to clarify: We are in a relationship, right?”

“Without me?”

“I’ll go with you.”

“We started this together, and we’ll end it together.”

“I’m here.”

“We’re in this together.”

“I can’t imagine life without you.”

“You’re practically glued to each other’s side.”

“Us? There is no us.”

“I could always use your help.”

“Oh? Do we have the honor of catching you alone today? It’s been a while since that last happened.”

“Together?” “Together.”

“You won’t get rid of me so easily.”

“Let’s do it together.”

“Those rumors about us are getting annoying. How many times do we have to tell them we aren’t together?”

“No, I mean… Just you and me.”

“I’m glad it’s you I get to/had to experience that with.”

“But we share everything.” 

“We go together like Bert and Ernie. A pair of socks. Or vegemite and oreos.”

Dreams & Nightmares Prompts

“Daydreaming about me?”

“Want to talk about it?”

“Shh. I’m here. I’m here.”

Have a nightmare concerning the other and be worried it might come true. 

“In your dreams.”

“They dreamt of you last night.”

Wake up because the other kicks/moves/screams during their sleep. 

“That’s one disturbing dream. Are you sure you’re okay?”

Be woken up by the other and immediately realize they once again had a nightmare. 

“I had the weirdest dream last night.” 

Have a recurring dream. Surely, it doesn’t mean anything. …Right?

“I’ll watch over your dreams.”

“What do you think it means?”

“You never dream?!”

Be mad at the other for something they did in a dream. 

“Is this a dream?”

“Need/Want me to show you how real I am/this is?”

They never dream - or maybe they do and never remember it. Last night, however, they did. They dreamt and remembered. 

“Could you stay up with me/here? Just for a little while?” 

“I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fall asleep again.”

Lose the other in a nightmare, and cling to them when they awake.

“This is a nightmare.”

“What can I do to make you feel better?”

Well, looking up what their dream apparently means does not make them feel any better. 

“Last time I did, I had nightmares for weeks.”

Have trouble facing the other after having dreamt of them.

“What?” “Nothing. It’s just… The dream partner you just described sounds a lot like…”

“That’s the stuff of nightmares right there.”

“Sorry for waking you up.”

Be reluctant to fall asleep because real life feels like a dream. A blissful one. What if it is just that and they’d ruin it all by falling asleep?

“You look terrible. Did you even sleep last night?”

“Please tell me that dreaming about this is normal.”

The dream is so nice that they don’t want to wake up.

“Sweet dreams.”

“I’m going to be/turn into your worst nightmare.”

Frequently have nightmares until they fall asleep next to the other.

“I might be able to help you make it come true if you tell me.”

“You’re safe.”

“As much as I love you, you are a nightmare (to deal with) when it comes to that.”

The other murmurs/does something while asleep. Does it mean anything? Should they wake them up? Should they ask them about it?

“Not even in my wildest dreams could I have imagined someone as wonderful as you.”

Secrets Prompts

Keeping this secret should have been a good thing. Instead, it hurts/threatens to ruin them.

“Everyone hides stuff.”

“You lied to me.”

“You’ve been oddly secretive lately.”

“I knew it!”

To keep something from the other, they go to great lengths.

“You can/could tell me.”

“I didn’t know how to tell you/how you’d react.”

“You need to trust me. Please.” “How can I when you kept this from me for years? Years, [name].”

Put a hand over the other’s mouth/Shoot the other a warning glare when they start to reveal the secret.

“I want to tell you. I really do. But I can’t.”

“Admit it. You secretly like it.”

“Tell me! Tell me, tell me, tell me. Pleeease.”

“Promise me that nothing will change [when you know]. Promise me.”

“Subtlety isn’t your strong suit, is it?”

“So you don’t trust me?” “No! … I mean, I do. I do trust you. It’s just that…”

“You’re making me nervous, being secretive like that.”

“Don’t take this the wrong way, but I wouldn’t tell you even if…”

“What are you doing?” “Nothing!”

They are good at sniffing out other people’s secrets. For some reason, however, they can’t figure the other out. What are they hiding?

“I’m tired of being your secret.”

“Were you hiding (that) from me?”

“Your secret is safe with me.”

“Wait. That’s it? That’s your big secret?”

“That’s no a secret. (Everyone knows.)”

“You had no right to tell them!”

“You’re my secret weapon.”

They already know the other’s secret but wait patiently for them to trust them with it.

“I can keep a secret. Sometimes.”

“That’s a secret. For now.”

“I’ve made no secret of the fact that…”

“Spill.”

“I should have known you’d tell them.”

“No more secrets.”

They try hard to keep the secret. They really do. (But now, they feel like they might burst if they don’t talk about it.)

“I know your secret.”

“Thanks. I needed to get that off my chest.”

“Why did you feel the need to keep that to yourself?”

“You should/could have told me.”

“I’m glad we’re honest with each other.” “...Right. Same.”

“The secret to a great relationship/success/etc. is–” “No offense, but do you really think you are an expert in that field?”

The person they trust the least knows their darkest secret.

“I wouldn’t keep that from you.”

“Do you really think that - if it were true - they/I would have been able to keep it a secret for this long?”

“I want to unravel you and discover all your secrets.”

"Hold my hand." Prompts

Reach for the other’s hand. “Let me hold that for you.” 

Wear gloves to hide their hideous hands and only take them off if they truly trust the other and want to feel their warmth/skin.

See that the other’s hand trembles and reach out to hold it.

“You look like someone who wants to hold my hand.”

Platonic handholding that… doesn’t feel completely platonic.

“I guess we have to hold onto each other for this part.” “…” “Believe me, I don’t like it any more than you do.”

“I’m right here.”

Hands brushing against one another until fingers intertwine.

Secret hand holding (e.g. underneath the table).

“Do you want to hold my hand?”

Swinging the arm while holding hands.

Refusing to part with the other, holding their hand for as long as they can.

“Sorry. They are a bit sweaty/cold/etc.”

Recognize the other by how their hand feels in theirs.

Doing stuff while still holding the hand of the other is difficult, yet, as it turns out, not impossible.

“Awww. Do you need me to hold your hand?” “Shut up.”

See partner/crush/etc. hold hands with someone (else).

“Let me warm them for you.”

Grabbing someone’s hand as they move away.

Always hoped the other would initiate body contact. Yet when they finally do, it’s rather… unsatisfying.

“Hold my hand.” “?” “Just do it. (…Please?)”

A quick squeeze of the hand before they pull away.

Want to hold the other’s hand for comfort but restrain themself because they are aware that the other doesn’t like PDA.

Move through the crowd while holding hands so as to not lose one another – and not letting go afterwards.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have.” “No, it’s fine. I… liked it.”

Turning a kiss on the back of the hand/cleaning the other’s fingers/admiring their nail polish/etc. into handholding in a single fluid movement that momentarily stops the heart.

Subconsciously reach out to the other (, only to pull the hand back at the last moment).

“I’ll (even) hold your hand(s) if that’s what it takes.” (“Who knew you were such a romantic?”)

"I think they like you." Prompts

“I’m sorry. I know you liked them (too).”

“You should talk to them.” “No. I couldn’t. What would I even say?”

“Clearly they have good taste.”

“Shut up.”

“Please, please, tell me you’re not trying to play matchmaker again. (As much as I love you, you suck at it.)”

“Good. Otherwise, that relationship of ours would be a mistake.”

“Can we not? (I just want to spend the evening with you. No distractions.)”

“No, they don’t.”

“How— How do you figure that?”

“What gave it away? The compliments? The touching? The kiss?”

A freezes. They had hoped nobody would figure out – not yet anyway – that they are in a secret relationship with B. Look natural. Act natural, they tell themselves.

Sighs. “Yeah, I’ve noticed.”

“And you? Do you like me?”

"Not you too." "What?"

“What, you gathered that from a simple ‘Hi’?”

“Maybe.” “You’re not interested?” “They just seem like they are looking for a relationship, and I’m not… I’m not ready for that. Not yet.”

“You think? How can you tell?”

“Stop pulling my leg.”

“You don’t think so?” “… Why would they/someone like them be interested in me of all people? I’m just—”

“This your way of telling me to leave you so you can ‘go on the hunt’ yourself?”

“Too bad I’m interested in someone else.” “Oh?”

“Message received.” “What? What message?”

A asks B if they are interested in person C to see if maybe they themselves (still) have a chance with B/C.

“Are you dumb or are you just pretending to be?��� “What?” “You really don’t know?”

“So? I already have everything I need right here.”

Snorts. “What? We’re friends. Just friends.” (“Do they know that?”/”Hm. Sure.”)

Art Thief Prompts

An art thief starts to work at a museum to find out how to best steal the desired art piece. In the process, however, they also get closer to another person working there. (They are absolutely blindsided when it turns out that said person too is an art thief.)

For the first time, someone – a museum worker, it seems – catches the art thief in action. (The latter panics. What should they now do with the witness?)

“No, this changes everything. You’re not who I thought you were. You’re not—”

An artist sets out to investigate the thefts of their art works.

After a successful theft, the art thief finds out that the stolen art piece is forged. Did the museum suspect someone would take it?

“Why? Why do it?”

The art thief only (attempts to) steal(s) an art piece in an act of revenge. The museum worker responsible for guarding the art/etc. simply shouldn’t have broken up with them/etc. So, this? This is just what they deserve.

A detective/private investigator pretends to be a museum worker after there have been several art thefts in the area.

“I know what you’re doing.”

It should have all been so easy, them charming a nearby museum worker while their accomplice steals the art piece. If only it would have all gone to plan.

An artist hires an art thief and tasks them to steal one of their paintings from the museum. (e.g. because they aren’t content with it anymore, because they think this move will make them famous)

"Why is it so dark in here?" Prompts

“Just follow my voice.”

A is afraid of the dark and sleeps with the door to the illuminated hallway slightly opened/with a night light. (Meanwhile, B can only sleep when it’s pitch black.)

The darkness should have provided A and B some cover during their activities. The keyword being “should”.

A and B thought it would be fun to dine in the dark – and it is. But it’s also messy and weird and a few other things.

“That’s dark. Even for you.”

“Why is it so dark in here?”

As the sudden light is too much for A’s eyes, they retreat immediately (e.g. and seek refuge underneath their blanket).

A studies B(‘s face) while they sleep/lie together in the darkness.

“Why does it always have to be dark when we do this?”

A stumbles into/accidentally hits something or someone as they try to walk/etc. through the dark apartment/etc.

A’s colleague B is their only source of sunshine during the winter days when they walk to and home from work in the dark.

“I can’t see anything.”

A insists their soul/heart is much brighter/darker than it really is.

“Were you just sitting here? Why didn’t you turn on the light?”

A and B spend a blackout together.

“I might have forgotten to pay my/our bills.”

A only ever meets/sees B when the sun has already disappeared for the day. They aren’t a vampire, are they?

A waits until it’s dark to sneak out of the apartment/etc. to go and meet up with B.

A dims the lights to provide the right atmosphere as they cuddle up to B/are on a date with B/etc.

A really should go home before it gets (too) dark outside. (And yet, they don’t want to leave B’s warm embrace/etc.)

“Can I finally take it off?” “We’re nearly there… Almost… Almost… Okay, ready? Blindfold off.”

Somehow, A finds it much easier to open up to B at night.

“Don’t keep me in the dark.”

A can’t see B’s face in the darkness of the room/etc., but they’ve studied their face and voice enough to know everything they need to at this very moment.

"Stay." Prompts

“Move in with me.”

“Please. Please don’t leave (me).”

A grabs ahold of B’s hand/arm just as the latter starts to turn away/etc.

“No! Stay— Stay far away from me. Please.”

A invites B to stay at their place for the night.

When their relationship with A gets serious, B finds themselves wanting to run for the hills. (They’ve done so many times in the past, but something about it feels different this time.)

“I can’t stay. Not—Not when you can’t even tell me…”

A got an amazing job offer from someplace across the country. They ask their crush/friend/partner/etc. B for advice on what to do.

“Why did you stay?”

A intends to come home/visit them when they hear B isn’t doing well, but the latter (tries to) convince(s) them not to.

“Marry me?”

A’s apartment/etc. houses more and more stuff that belongs to B/they bought because they know B loves/needs it.

“I could stay like this forever.”

“Stay where you are. I got it.”

For the first time in their life/a long while, A just wants to stay where they are. Stay in this town/etc., with B,… Leaving their old life behind, however, is no easy feat.   

“Don’t move.”

“Do you even want me to stay?”

A often imagines what it would have been like if they would have stayed in their hometown/together with B.

“I know it wasn’t supposed to be/end like this, but… I need you.”

It’s been years since A and B broke up, but sometimes it feels like they are still right there with them.

“Could we just… stay here for a while?”

A asks B to stay by their side during a social gathering, hoping to avoid certain other people/questions like this – or to at least have a buffer.

A repeatedly asks B to stay with them as the latter seems to be dying/dies in their arms.

“I couldn’t stay. Not even for you./Not even if I wanted to.”

“I can’t imagine going back to a life without you.” “Then stay.”

"You're blushing." Prompts

“You’re blushing.” “Yeah, so? Never seen anyone fall for your charm before?”

“Are you okay? You look a little…” “I’m fine!”

A tries to hide their blush from B by turning their head away, but the latter doesn’t let them.

“I can’t help it (when you look at me like that).”

“Are you actually blushing?” “No! Shut up.”

“You, uhh… You… Sorry. I didn’t mean to make you… I mean…”

A smiles fondly when B starts to blush and draws them closer, allowing them to hide in their embrace.

“Awww. Did I fluster you?”

“This never happened, do you understand?! If I find out you mentioned this to anyone, I’ll…”

It appears A made B blush, and in response their own cheeks heat up.

“Stoooop. Stop making me all…” “All… what?”

“Just admit that…” (e.g. you like when I look at you like that.)

A has never blushed when they asked that question/made such a comment before. (Before what?/Has something changed?)

“… You’ll never let me live this down, will you?”

A touches their own heated cheeks (, maybe to confirm that they really are blushing. Not that they didn’t already know.)

“Why am I blushing?!”

A and B try to figure out who can make the other person blush first/the hardest.

“I call bullshit. There’s no way you never blush. No way.”

“Months/Years later, and you still make me blush.”

“I’m not blushing. It’s from the cold.” “Yeah. Sure.”

“Sorry. I just... like seeing that I have an effect on you, I guess.”

“God. You look adorable/etc. (when you’re blushing).”

A is curious/confused/etc. Once, they easily were able to make B blush. Nowadays, it seems almost impossible.

“You’re blushing.” “So are you.”

Responses To "There is no wrong choice."

“Easy for you to say.”

“Do you really believe that?”

“Maybe not. But this (decision) will change everything.”

“Yet there is only one right choice.”

“And here I thought you were the smart one.”

“And how is that ‘helpful advice’?”

“Right.”

“This would be easier if you wouldn’t lie to me.”

“Oh? Not even if I were to do this?”

“Last time I listened to that advise, … So, pardon me for not believing you right now.”

“Your humour always shows in the worst moments.”

“But what if—?”

“That’s… a nice way of looking at it.”

“And unicorns are real. Listen to yourself.”

“That doesn’t make it any easier.”

“Are you sure?”

“We both know that’s not true.”

“Even if choosing ... would mean losing me? You’d be okay with that?”

“Okay then.” A (closes their eyes, runs their fingers up and down the menu and) randomly chooses something.

“Is this your way of telling me that you don’t care?”

“Then, why don’t you choose?”

“Please don’t make me do this.”
