i became good at pretending. i became so good that after a while the lines blurred between my truth and fiction. and sometimes, when i did a really good job of pretending, i even fooled myself.
( leaning in , she kisses his nose )
well not this time .. you really are deserving of the world . if not *more .
( she laughs with him , pulling away with a hum )
let this be a warning to your enemies then , hehe .
usually, it’s the other way around.
[ laughing softly, hands reaching up to gently grab her wrists. ]
you don’t have to do all that, but i’ll be sure to let reed know you’ll behave.
hehe , that’s why i’m absolutely better than those exes of yours . they didn’t deserve you , my honey bunny .
( pinching at his cheeks with a teasing grin )
i’ll claw anyone’s eyes out if they even look at you wrong . tell Reed i promise to be on my very best behavior
i’d hope so! you’re, like, the first person i’ve dated that hasn’t tried to off me or hates my guts or broken up with me for quicksilver.
[ huffing. smiling softly, warmly. ]
i’ll make some plans with reed. it’ll be great, trust me.
johnny , I was kidding ! i *want your family to like me . 🥰
( she giggled , nuzzling her nose against his )
i would love nothing more than explore the cosmos with you .
ohhh, you know * exactly what you could steal ! don’t try to be oblivious. 😒*
anyway, i’d still like to go to space with you. i dunno. think it’d be really fun.
and what exactly would I steal ?! not like Reed has anything .. shiny and valuable that could totally grant me a pretty penny if sold to the right person …
( grinning )
not at all . ~
aw. c’mon. i haven’t died in space yet. unless the negative zone counts as space. anyway, you don’t have to worry so much.
‘sides, it’s kinda hard to get cell service in different galaxies.
when you go on space adventures, there’s, like, an 80% chance you’re getting stranded somewhere. it was fun, though.
[ humming, leaning into the touch. ]
