 IIIIII LOVE MY GIRL—(mmph)

@blowksses     it’s something that shouldn’t exist,   and it’s powerful.   it can see what scares you and use it.    i’ve seen it kill,   you don’t want to be near it

@hearthero    [as mike leans his forehead to hers first,   she freezes for a moment.   just holding the space between them,   listening to his heart pounding like it might burst out of his chest.   his words hang heavy and familiar. slowly,   like she’s afraid to break something fragile,   her hands lift and curl into his jacket,   fingers gripping just enough to remind herself he’s real.   she leans her forehead toward his,   matching his breath,   letting the quiet stretch between them]   i know,   that’s why i have to do this.   [her voice wavers for only a moment before she makes it behave.   she swallows,   eyes closing,   drawing strength from the closeness.   her thumb moves against his wrist,   a small grounding motion,   like she’s counting beats]    i don’t want to lose you either,   mike. the thought of it——it terrifies me.   more than him.   more than anything.    i’m scared too.  but i can’t let that stop me.   because if i run——if i hide——people get hurt.   you get hurt,   and i can’t have that.    i’ll be careful,   i swear.   and if it’s too much..   you’ll be the first person i tell

@project011 [he has to nod.  if he doesn’t he’ll cry.  there’s a part of him that wants to pull her away from all this.  to keep herself and out of harm’s reach.   but what was mike wheeler really to do when the only thing that could save the world was his girl?]    i know,   —yeah.  [he moved,  pressing his forehead to hers.  needing some kind of contact. it felt wrong,  a lie to simply just say the word ‘love’. to him it wasn’t enough.  not enough to show what he felt for eleven.  so he holds her,  anything to be close]    you’re the strongest person i know.  i  just— … don’t want you getting hurt or..  worse.  i’ll lose my mind, el.  i mean it 

@hearthero      i’ll tell you——when it gets to be too much,    but i don’t plan to stop.    i can handle this.

@DAD0FTHEYEAR       yes,   of course i can.   so stay back,    don’t want you to get hurt.

@project011         it’s not a rule,   it’s just..   plain unusual to sleep with them on—tell tale signs of a psychopath,  really.

@bardisms      socks?    i don’t sleep with socks on,   but is that some sort of rule?   

@project011         he told me   ..     something horrific,  today.   something that /permanently/ changed the way i view him—forever(…)    did you know he sleeps with socks on?

@project011           you think so?(…)   how’s this one?   it’s pretty much the same as yours,   only the sleeves are a little different.

@fourthbell       i think you should get a matching one.    but green,    i like green on you.

@project011         well..   if it’s all the same with you,  i definitely like it.  purple suits you.
