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.”

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 .
Image
                         ...          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   ...
