"Those are just daisies you idiot." He wiped at his eyes with the back of his sleeve.
I sat down next to him, gently picking up one of the tiny white flowers.
"Hm, nope they're wishing seeds. See?" I began to pluck the petals from the stem one at a time, gathering them in my small calloused hand. When I was done, I held them close to my chest and whispered quietly.
"Now for the finishing touch." I said breathing deeply before blowing the handful of petals away.
"What was that supposed to do?" Flinn watched as the wind swept the soft specks toward the horizon.
"Well they're going to carry my wish away so it can sprout and come true. Here you try." I held one out to him. He plucked it gently from my palm, blushing.
"Fine but you have to look away." He grumbled.
I giggled, turning my back to him. He mumbled to the petals softly before declaring,
"Okay I'm done." I turned to face him then.
"What did you wish for?" I asked curiously.
Flinn stared at the ground for a long time before his haunted gray eyes met mine.
"I wished for him to die."

"Who are you, huh?! A best friend?! Or what?!" Her words felt like flashes of my own words that I had said before. I gulped down hard. Did she just say that?! No. I would've heard it wrong?! The tension float over my blood, stretches each of my nerves strongly, but I didn't flinch because it hit against me too weak in contrast to her words. Months of distance made me....no one? Huh?! "Ofcourse. I- I am~" My insides weakened. I couldn't gather enough energy to throw the word out. "I- I stand as no one for you. But...hm, but I thought atleast we could be honest with each other?!" I said. "O" She nodded and held her breathe. "Alright! If you want me to be honest, then listen. Stop hitting on every chance you get, Jacob!"

"I admit that I don't deserve you, but you know how greedy I am for you, I am selfish for you. Cause I never wanted to give up on you. I almost lost myself in you." "I love you!

LET ME HATE YOU
A marriage neither wanted. A hatred neither understands. Two strangers tied by a past that stains everything between them. He never wanted a wife. Especially not her. Cold, distant, and poisoned by assumptions, Amaan enters the forced marriage with one intention- to keep his distance and keep his resentment alive. Asmaira enters with something far heavier- guilt. Not to protect him. Not to save him. But because she knows the truth of what happened... and she cannot bear to confess it. They have never met. But the moment they do, the air turns sharp- full of tension, unspoken accusations, and the kind of hate that feels too much like longing. He despises her for a sin she never committed. She punishes herself for a sin she never confessed. And marriage turns into a battleground where silence is a weapon... and closeness is a threat. In this house, love is impossible. Trust is deadly. But hatred? Hatred is the only thing keeping them alive.
My Obsession #2
There's this silence between us that stretches longer than it should, and it wraps around my chest like a weighted blanket. My throat tightens. I stare at him like I'm trying to memorise the face of someone who shouldn't exist. A dream made real. My lips part before I can stop myself. "Were you sent by my dad to take care of me?" The question hangs in the air, trembling like the last leaf in autumn. Aiden's gaze softens. His lips tug into the gentlest smile I've ever seen. It's the kind of smile that could mend broken wings. "No" he whispers. "I volunteered." The words hit harder than I expect. Like a punch wrapped in silk. I gasp, air leaves me in a rush I can't reclaim. But before I can fully process what he's just said, he takes a step closer. His fingers ghost over my cheek, brushing away a tear I didn't realise had fallen. And then-he kisses me painfully slow. His hand cups the back of my neck, anchoring me to a moment I never want to end. And just when I think it's over, he pulls away just enough to look at me. His thumb traces the damp trail of tears down my cheek. He doesn't say anything. He just leans in again, and kisses them away. One by one. My tears. My pain. My silence. All kissed away by a boy who didn't come to save me because someone sent him. He came because he chose to.Complete
obsessed with flames
It happened the moment their eyes met - a spark so fierce it felt like the world around them caught fire. There were no soft beginnings, no slow unfolding; it was an explosion, a sudden, violent need neither of them understood but both felt powerless to resist. Their souls recognized each other before their hearts could even catch up, colliding with a force that set everything inside them ablaze. Every glance was gasoline, every touch a matchstick, and every stolen breath fanned the inferno growing between them. It wasn't just attraction - it was an obsession, a hunger that consumed logic, caution, and fear. Together, they burned brighter and hotter than anything either of them had ever known, but with every passing moment, the question loomed larger: could a love born in flames ever survive, or would they destroy each other in the end?

He sighed, "I've always wanted to sign up for the army - to help us win the war so that other children don't have to be separated from their parents like we were. I need to see my dad again, make sure he's okay and not dead with a bullet in his chest. I have to... apologize to Peter for being a complete arsehole of a brother.

I have to tell Lucy that despite all the problems we had as brother and sister, I love her... I love all of them... more than they know..." Amelia heard a single sniffle as he tried to wipe away the tears at his eyes by rubbing his head against the fabric on his shoulder. "We'll get out of here, Ed, you'll be able to tell them all. I'll make sure of it."Complete
