“ what am i supposed to do when i can’t even trust my own mind? ” “ i have to believe death is the end. because all that waits for me in the afterlife is a debt of sin i don’t think could ever be paid off. ” “ what do you see when you look into my eyes? ” “ it doesn’t always have to be you, you know? your shoulders aren’t the only ones that can bear the weight of the world. ” “ i don’t think hearts break. shattered things can only be broken once. but torn things can be mended again and again until it’s all scars and stitching. ” “ i can’t remember what it’s like to be truly wanted. ” “ every time you look at me i feel invisible. ” “ loneliness is a slow and cruel poison. ” “ i’m afraid that if i let you see every side of me, you should shrink back in fear or disgust. ” “ for once in your life, what is it that you want. ” “ i’ve been wrapped in my sorrow for so long, i’m afraid i’ll feel too cold without it. ” “ i just want to see you smile again. ” “ can’t you stop running for one second? ” “ i’ll be here. when you’re ready to talk. ” “ being strong doesn’t mean never asking for help or admitting you’re in pain. ” “ don’t shut me out. please. ” “ don’t look at me like that. ” “ the world isn’t made up of heroes and monsters. just broken people balancing between the two. ” “ i just wanted to do something good for once. ” “ why can’t you tell me what’s wrong? ” “ just trust me. please. ” “ why can’t you let me in? what are you so afraid of? ” “ you’re so worried about losing me/them you’re missing everything in front of you. ” “ i’m not leaving you. ” “ you’re not alone. i’m here. ” “ you see everyone so clearly except yourself. ” “ don’t you understand? i love you. and nothing you’ve done, no matter how much of a monster you think you are, is gonna change that. ” “ i find broken things interesting. maybe that’s why i like you so much. ” “ i want to be whatever it is you think i am. ” “ you see the good in everything. that’s why i like it when you look at me. ” “ i’ll still be here when you wake. ” “ i promise i’ll never hurt you again. ” “ as long as i have you, the rest doesn’t matter. ” “ what did they do to you? ” “ i’m not sure i should leave you alone. ” “ i won’t hate you. i know you think that’s what you deserve but it’s not. ” “ i want to love the parts of you that you hate. ” “ i’m scared of what you’re becoming. ” “ i’m sorry, i’m not what you think i am. ” “ you’ll always have a home with me. ” “ what happened to you? ” “ i thought i’d never see you again. ” “ you’re such a fucking coward. ” “ i envy anyone who has the privilege of being loved by you. ” “ you scared me. ” “ please, don’t ever give up on me. ” “ i’m not giving up on you. not ever. ” “ i know you love me. but it’s not the way i want to be loved. ”
there was only a moment of silence before jemma pulled open the door to her bunk, one eyebrow raised curiously and a grin playing on her lips. “ you had me at booze, ” she chirped, fully opening the door. jemma was quickly growing fond of the recruit and this proposal only solidified that. fitz was a great drinking buddy, she’d admit, but he wasn’t at her door with booze and cards in hand, was he? “ come on in! ”
@simmcns‘s starter;
daisy’s bored and without access to the internet due to the new shield bling on her wrist , completely without distraction . her knuckles rap against the glass door of simmons’ bunk after having checked the lab , and the rest of the bus . “ simmons , are you in there ? i have booze and a deck of cards . ”
“ well that, that depends. … have you had anymore dead things in the lab ? ”
“ it’s a LAB, fitz! ” arms crossed defensively over her chest. “ obviously there has been dead things in the lab. but that’s not going to affect your food!! ”
he grimaced at the very idea that there had been something dead in the lab —-disgusting. “ oh ? oh ? it wont affect my food, do you WANT ME to bring up the cat? ”
jemma resisted the urge to roll her eyes. she’d never quite understand how this was still an issue with him. “ the liver was properly stored in an appropriate container, so it didn’t even affect your lunch! besides, it was a lab fridge. where else was i going to put it? ”

“ you are such a soft and sweet thing. ”
“ nobody knows how to take care of you. ”
“ it’s killing you isn’t it ? ”
“ maybe swearing will help ? ”
“ if i didn’t care, would i feel this way ? ”
“ there is bravery in being soft. ”
“ oh im sorry, did my back hurt your knife ? ”
“ i wasn’t born to be soft and quiet. i was born to make the world shatter and shake at my fingertips. ”
“ no i don’t make sense, stop asking. ”
“ i am not that same person i was eighteen minutes ago. ”
“ together or not at all. ”
“ feel like making a deal with the devil ? ”
“ i have more scars then friends. ”
“ what i create is chaos. ”
“ you are not his princess. you are your own queen. ”
“ i could be your family. ”
“ i thought we’d have more time. ”
“ i am no bird, and no net ensnares me. ”
fitz couldn’t help rolling his eyes at her, putting down his padd on the table before his hands fly up in agitation, “ that’s not the point !! it was showing how monkeys are an evolved species & are able to form strong familial bonds, unlike many other species. were you even watching it ?! “
jemma paused, thinking back to the night in question. if she were going to be honest, she’d definitely started zoning out very early on to that documentary, but she wasn’t sure if she was going to admit that. lips pursed together and she hesitated to answer before rolling her eyes back. “ IF i didn’t watch, it must not have been a very captivating story. but if you’re going to cause such a fuss i suppose we could have a conversation before we decide on what to watch. ”
