Extremely Exhausted Starters
- “You. Rest. Now.”
- “You took five steps and need to sit down again?”
- “I’m absolutely fine, I just need to sit down.”
- “I just need to sit-what do you mean I’m already laying down?”
- “Your eyes aren’t focusing. Just close them for ten minutes.”
- “Write one sentence on this piece of paper, and then I’ll let you up.”
- “I just need a breather, that’s all. Maybe ten. No fifteen.”
- “We’re both so exhausted we can’t even argue about not being exhausted.”
- “When I said I needed five more minutes I meant it more like hours.”
- “… no… I’m tired… let me sleep… I don’t want to get up.”
- “We need to get out of the heat, you’re starting to look sick.”
- “You can’t hide those shaking hands from me. You need to stop.”
- “I’m just a little cold, I’m okay, really. Let me sit with a blanket or something.”
- “Moving…? No I’m good thanks.”
- “Gravity has a hold on me of which I have not the strength to break.”
- “Was… was that actually there? That wasn’t there was it?”
- “I’ve had no energy for three days.”
- “You worked yourself so hard that you’ve been sentenced to three days of bed rest.”
- “Listen I can… I can get up. It’s fine.”
- “If we’re both in this state, we both really screwed up somewhere huh?”
- “I have energy for exactly one more person of favourable standing, and going the hell to bed. With or without that person, bed is happening.”
- “You’ve struggled to move anything for the last hour.”
- “This is what happens when you over exert yourself.”
- “You were almost dead from pushing it too far!”
- “I went a little overboard sure… but I’m still alive. So shh.”

❝ i don’t even know why i bother with headphones anymore. every single time i get new ones, stella finds them and chews them up within a week. ❞
Only Melinoe’s tone of voice, full of concern, reaches the depths of Demetrio’s mind – the girl’s words get lost on the way, somewhat . His left hand raises to rub circles on his throbbing temple, and meets blood . He takes in a long, deep breath . If this weren’t a semi - frequent occurrence, he would’ve been surprised, maybe, but for the moment, the man appears just mildly inconvenienced, perhaps more upset with the possibly irreversible damage done to a good white shirt .
She’s probably asking what happened to him, anyway ( quite natural for a person with normal empathy, you know ? ) – but he’s not going to answer that . For one, he does not want to worry her ( God knows the girl’s heart does not need it ) . Besides … he himself could barely remember the events of the previous night . How is he supposed to share them with anyone else ?
He is snapped out of his daze by the small girl pulling on his arm with impressive determination, probably in an effort to sit him down on her couch . Shaking his head slightly, he finally speaks :
“ I -- don’t want to … get your couch dirty . “
she doesn’t know what comes over her in that moment, melinoe was never one to get angry . perhaps it was how worried she was getting to her, how emotional she was in that moment . whenever she was so dazed, so overwhelmed ( it was quite easy to get to that point ), she became quite ... emotionally vulnerable.
the expression that washes over her face is strange, she looks quite angry, like he had upset her extremely with those few words . here he was, clearly injured, it barely seemed as though he wasn’t even listening to her ... and was more worried about her couch ?
❝ i don’t care about my damn couch, i care about you ! ❞
she tries to tug on his arm again, but she gets more and more upset upon realizing that she definitely could not move him if he didn’t want to move, and instantly felt worried that he would just leave without allowing her to help him ...
the anger seems to fade very quickly, and is instead replaced with her getting upset in quite another way, tears starting to bubble up in her eyes . her lips quiver at the thought of him trying to leave while he very clearly should get help, if not from her than from someone else . she would just want to make sure he got that help, instead of just going home . melinoe finally speaks after a moment, her voice quiet and clearly very upset and worried .
❝ just let me help, okay ..? if you don’t want me to help, then let me call someone, you’re hurt ... ❞
@rnercuric said: “Is that blood?” “…..No?”
❝ what ... what happened ..? ❞
it seemed to be taking a moment to settle in, her mind blank for a moment, not even able to focus on the murmurs in the back of her thoughts . she did not expect him to be injured when she shows up, or at least, she assumed he was injured -- well, she would hope it was his own, as bad as that sounded ...
slowly, her face grew more and more worried, and she begins to move towards him as it seems to settle in . obviously, melinoe didn’t believe him when he said that it wasn’t blood, and she wasn’t the type to just brush it off or let him be injured .
she grabs onto his arm and tries to yank him over to her couch, though obviously she couldn’t really move him all on her own . she was really just hoping he would ... cooperate with her and not be stubborn .
❝ i - i keep a first aid thingy in the bathroom, can i help ? what happened --? ❞
“ A kiddie pool sounds like the perfect solution, no ? I think I saw a few being sold downstairs, they even had flower - shaped ones -- if that is more your style, Melinoe. ”, he half - jokes .
❝ ... ❞ she pauses, narrows her eyes slightly as a pout pulls at her lips. a kiddie pool ? while it could actually work, may actually be kind of helpful ... she feels a little embarrassed at the situation. ❝ are you ... making fun of me ..? ❞
SOFT FLUFF;
send one for my muse's reaction!
“I want to know you, [NAME].” “How about making me vice president in charge of cheering you up?” “Try to get some sleep. You’ll feel better.” “I bet you don’t really need those glasses.” “These days are like a miracle.” “You might catch a cold, you know?“ “I’m just happy you’re back.” “You think I can stay with you for a while?” “Your kindness is like a candle. It lights up. When it does, it brings a happy smile to my face.” “It’s fine. You can call my name without needing anything, and I don’t mind if you hang around where I can see you, and if something pisses you off, you can hit me.” “I love you!” “You look so beautiful right now. I can’t even tell you.” “Everything about you is so easy to love.” “In the crooks of your body, I find my religion.” “You are, I think, an evening star, the fairest of all the stars.” “I’ll send you a bouquet.” “Skip class today, let’s walk together in the park.” “Being able to see you smile, being in your vicinity, just that is enough for me.” “When I’m with you I can be myself naturally.” “If only one request is granted then let me sleep next to you.” “I want to hug you once more, as soft as I can.” “My friend, for who could be my equal but you.” “When I see you, I feel struck by a sense of duty to feed you!” “I have a request. Will you eat dinner with me? Will you eat and make dinner with me?” “You were scared? But now, you are safe.” “[NAME]. You’re my number one friend. A friend like you… won’t show up before me ever again. You’re that important, even if you don’t want to be.” “Hey, this is delicious. Really delicious. Okay, open your mouth.” “You came back.“ “I think I’m falling in love with you.” “I’m the luckiest person in the world.“ “Uh, here, this is for, uh, you.” “Thank you for always thinking of me, and worrying about me.” “I know I’ve cause a lot of trouble, so I don’t know if I can say this, but… But if you would still be my friend… I would be really happy.” “If maybe I have managed to change just a bit… It’s because I found people who accept me.” “You’re just too warm and fuzzy!” “I think I’m falling in love with you.” “Change is exhausting. I feel like there’s nowhere to hide from all the newness of everything. Except here. With you.” “I lie awake at night and imagine running my fingers through your hair.” “I like your hair down. You look pretty.“ “Just meeting you made me happy.” “Your voice is more comfortable to listen to than anyone else’s.” “I want to… be with you…” “Take my hand.” “If I may, that is, it would give me the greatest pleasure if you would do me the honor of letting me lead you through this dance.” “Please, stay by my side.” “[NAME], I… want to be together with you.” “You’re… beautiful.”

“… I mean, if you just keep a really close eye on it and make sure the cat can’t get near it if you … leave the house …”
Coda doesn’t even know why he’s speaking up. He hates speaking up with a passion and it’s making his skin crawl just a little that he’s even trying – but he’s an animal lover at heart. He must encourage her.
❝ well ... that could work, there are some places stella knows she isn’t allowed to go ... ❞
she places a hand on her cheek as she pauses to think, a light ‘ hmmm ‘ buzzing from the woman -- before a smile splits across her lips, she’s decided ! yes, it could work, stella was a good cat and she could behave, surely it would not be a problem . she would just have to keep a close eye on her for the first few days .
❝ i just have to decide if i want a hamster or a mouse . maybe ... whichever one is easier to care for ... ❞
❝ i wanna get ... a mouse, or a hamster ... but that would be a bad idea with a cat around, wouldn't it ? ❞
