CHAT TOWER [AVENGERS]

INFINITE

[Intended as a part 2 to "Valentine's Dance", but I have written it such that it can be read separately...]

Sometimes one phrase or a simple word can do such wonders -
A few syllables can turn into a life altering thought and those thoughts can turn into moments conjuring epiphany after epiphany after epiphany - they start to make you think of the stars that are reflected in someone else's eyes every night - then they take you a bit farther, past your moon, where Gods of all sorts thrive - past purple giants and monstrosities and endless skies - past bursting colours and endless beauty - then it brings you back to one single inevitable question -

10:00PM

You:
Are you a fucking gnat?

Loki:
What?

You are offline

Okay so, that may have not have been the big question, but it certainly was part of it. We'll get to that later.

So you may notice that obliviousness engulfs the smartest of us in these situations. Foolishness gets the best of us.

What am I going on about?

Quill:
Do you know how you know you're in love

Rocket:

Bro

You:
Do you have to know?

You:
Why do you always have to know?

Quill:
okay jeez

Quill:
I was actually going to tell you about this puppy I saw but thanks for going all existential on me

Gamora:
what do you mean, though?

You:
I see so many people ruining what they have just because one or the other couldn't say three words to prove themselves, or people giving up on potential shots at happiness just because they're afraid someone won't "love them back" or whatever

You:
Or some people are just afraid of the whole concept, you know

Rocket:
"This is not making sense" -Groot

You:
That's great!

Rocket:
"What"

Rocket:
-Groot

You:
No, that's great, because why should everything have to make sense right away?
I'm sure this is not the first time you're hearing something like this.

You:
Like, it's not hard to just, take the chance you know

Steve Rogers:
I hear you.
