[ ... ] 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐌𝐄𝐋𝐓𝐒 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 precipitating vapour once ice meets fire, dissipating into the thick tension still lying beneath the depths of their touches. there will always be a stillnes in the air : hesitation and uncertainty, a distrust spurred by what-ifs and trusts that can never truly be mended. not when he's broken the pristine, and what they're left now is scrambling to piece together remnants of who they are and who they should be. " and how long would that take, y'think ? another thirteen years ? " in tennis years, they'd all be old and grey : well into retirement, pushing wheelchairs instead of dreams that could never truly be. but, at least there, they would all be together. " were you waiting for a pretty please, donaldson ? wanted me to roll down the red carpet for you ? " it wouldn't kill him to be nice, no ... but it would, decimate him. tear into his insides and reveal the rot beneath : boyhood companion turned scorned rival, a doomed narrative of a tainted love. " c'mon, princess. 'snot like anyone is 'gonna find us lingering around the hotel this time of night anyone. no paps, i promise, " a hand reaches out for the other, and the linger remains as their fingers fill in the gaps of one another's. just how it should be, just how it's always been. at least some things haven't changed. he almost smiles. " she didn't stop you from smoking too, did she ? " surely she must've let you have this one thing. surely.
He is sprawled on the bed, covers pulled half over, half under. The tiredness he spoke about lingers in his heavy limbs, coiling with a new-found energy brought on by steps towards reconciliation. Art's voice had an unfamiliar quality to it, there but not.
ART
(hesitating)
You still have a long way to go if you're
doing all this to make up for it all.
Art rubs a hand over his eyes and turns over, further tangling himself in the sheets to get a better look at Patrick. His eyebrows furrow, trying to get a better read on him. How easily they were able to tear into each other earlier, digging fingers into insecurities they didn't even know existed.
He sighs and sits up, holding on to Patrick's arm as he does. He doesn't need to be steadied. He wants to be. He finds a shirt, his or Patrick's or Tashi's, and a pair of shorts on the floor and puts both on.
ART
There are easier ways of saying that
you want me with you.

[ ... ] 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐎𝐅 chance earned him a jackpot of a lifetime : having him meet someone less well-adjusted than himself, coasting through life by chasing thrills upon thrills, one even bigger than the next. through natalie, has he only started getting perspective on his own life ... twenty-something in age bit seventeen-something everywhere else, hand that usually sits on her upper thigh, possessing and fingers teasing to brush up between her legs, is now clutching on the steering wheel — he's just a man, it's just what he does ! she's fun until she's not, and at time like these, everything that's wrong about her, him, and whatever this is, is starting to become a little too real. " are you — are you fucking serious ? we're in the middle of nowhere, nat. fucking christ — you're being ridiculous, " but the lost, prodigal son, does what he's told, for once in his life. the car comes to a screeching halt and he turns to her with a furrowed brow, azurian catching sight of the bag clutched tight. a vice grip, one they silently promised to never hold oveer one other. at least she cares about something, he'll give her that ...
" all this because what, i didn't let you do blow on my dashboard when i'm fucking driving ? and waste whatever shit we have left because you can't keep a steady hand ? " you destroy everything you touch, now you want to take a crack at whatever is left of her, too ? " ... i want to keep a clear head so i can win tomorrow and we can get more, okay ? " so we can go back to being happy and avoidant, instead of angry and real. " why is that so fucking hard for you to understand ? "
i can feel it. . . the come down that makes it all fucking suck. we haven't taken a hit since we started driving because patrick "needs to keep his wits when he's driving" as if he hasn't driven us coked out before. he's such a dick: convincing me to get in the car for a four hour drive to WHEREEVERSVILLE, USA for another tournament he's going to lose ( but gods forbid i remind him that maybe if he actually put hours in at the court he'd do better in the games he actually plays ) and not letting me take a hit off the dash.
as i roll my neck, each of the bones cracks in time before finally i land my glazed over eyes on him. patrick fucking zweig. why the fuck am i in this car if i'm not having a good time? isn't that what we're supposed to be? if i didn't want to feel good i'd call paul's sober ass. or finally reach out to lottie. or answer tai's phone calls. or -- or -- or --
" pull the car over. " the words are out of my lips before my brain can catch up. not for the first time the thought of would he really listen to my impulses? lingers in the back of my mind. " patrick -- pull the fucking car over. " i'm already reaching behind me, grabbing for the backpack that contains everything i took with me the night i slipped out of paul's bed. maybe i want this, maybe i don't, but the words are out so now the ball is in patrick's court.
literally.

[ ... ] 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄'𝐒 𝐀𝐍 𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 to relationships ( or, whatever the fuck this is ), and all the toxicity of tying himself to URL, that he hasn't quite mastered. he knows that makes @natal7e tick, and how to fan the fuel of her fire, but not quite how to extinguish the flames. there's a gap between them that will always go unmentioned, of a past hiding behind her that he can never quite poke and prod at. far too heavy, holding a mysticism that he's not even close to being mature enough to handle. they'll always be just that : almost what the other needs, but never quite enough. " i don't know, nat ... you tell me. it's fucking tiring being the villain of your life all the time. give me a break, yeah ? " worst part of all of this : it was probably his fault, too. but when both of them have wilingly tied blindfolds around each other's eyes, and agreed that they will only talk about the stuff that don't matter ... reality's sharp hit stings eternal. " ... you think i like fighting with you ? i'm fucking tired too, "

[ ... ] 𝐀 𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐑 case : she runs and avoids, while he ... in spite of all his ego, chases after her when their shared flame burns into a forest fire. unrelentless in his pursuit, devoid of the cool confidence he often exudes, yet now borderlines on desperation. ' pulling an art ' the nasty part of him adds. if it weren't for the incident, the fight would've ended as it always has : with them somehow finding their way back to each other — not him having to beg for @tennismatch to even look at him. last-ditch attempt to make nice after he missed her game and her whole life ended in one faithful misstep. " c'mon, tashi, just .. you're fucking overworking yourself and you know it. you need to recover. you need to slow down, " at least something hasn't changed : he's still nothing more to her than just a distraction. " can we just ... talk ? fuck, anything, okay ? slap me in the fucking face if you want. i just ... " his breath, and a rare show of honesty, catches in his throat. " i miss you, "

[ ... ] 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐎𝐅 someone who is more than a friend but less than a lover, but something far, far greater : never falls upon deaf ears. tashi is his twin flame, but art is the water who flows and subdues ... reminds icarus that the sun will burn even those who show utmost potential. we've all seen what happened to her, afterall. " ... i was just goin' for a smoke. don't be dramatic, " the pack sitting in his palm now falls heavy, anchoring him to stay on his dip in the bed. patrick rises as the sun does, and @tennismatch remains shrouded in its shadows — maybe even all these years, things aren't too different, after all. they're still just seventeen. " y'miss me already, donaldson ? still haven't gotten your fill of me makin' up for lost time ? " the weight that hangs between each syllable begs for the other to stay just like this. begging, pleading despite the uncertainty .. proverbial hand reaching out to remind him not to fly too fast and leave him behind. " y'want to take your princess nap or come with me ? "

[ ... ] 𝐓𝐎𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄 is familiar. even if he resents the monotone, he likes familiarity and the comfort it brings. familiarity doesn't force him to evolve, or face the realities of his present ... the dreams of who he could have been and the true horrors of who he is. he's done it time and time again : meeting admiration of someone with a career that actually took off with an excess of his own brand of laissez-faire level of douchebaggery. no one's every expected him to be anything more than that, anyway — he has the talent and the drive, but none of the patience to wait for the glory. " trust me, dude, i'm not acting, " the smile he offers @roseguided is shit-eating, borderlining on a challenge ... the high of a win he's eternally chasing. try me, and let's see who's still standing in the end. " and, to be fair ? y'kinda make it real fuckin' easy, zo-zo. you really put the trash in eurotrash, know what i mean ? "

❛ you? kill me? that's funny. ❜
❛ for being someone you hate, i'm sure on your mind a lot. ❜
❛ you're the last person i wanted to see, actually. ❜
❛ do us both a favor. stay away from me. ❜
❛ you really are an asshole, you know that? ❜
❛ i'm the asshole? what does that make you then? ❜
❛ sometimes i think you must hate me. ❜
❛ i thought you said you never wanted to see me again. ❜
❛ if you want me to go, then you have to tell me to leave. ❜
❛ well, someone's cranky today. ❜
❛ well, someone needs to shut the fuck up. ❜
❛ just stay out of my way. ❜
❛ of all the idiots in the world, i'm stuck with you. ❜
❛ what is it you want this time? ❜
❛ sometimes i wonder if you're in love with me. ❜
❛ do you honestly think this is easy for me? ❜
❛ why would i ever want to be friends with you? ❜
❛ can we please just talk? ❜
❛ there is nothing for us to talk about. ❜
❛ you can yell at me later. just let me help you. ❜
❛ touch me, and you're dead. ❜
❛ oh, so now you care? ❜
❛ there is something deeply wrong with you. ❜
❛ i know i'm the last person you probably want to see, but... ❜
❛ you don't think we could be friends, do you? ❜
❛ i'm tired of fighting against you. ❜
❛ don't pretend you give a shit about me. ❜
❛ you're an idiot, but... i trust you. ❜
❛ oh, don't be cute. ❜
❛ wait, did you just say that i'm cute? ❜
❛ we're not good for each other. ❜
❛ if i say yes, will you shut up? ❜
❛ don't you have to be stupid somewhere else? ❜
❛ maybe we should kiss just to break the tension. ❜
❛ i'm sorry i can't turn off my feelings as easily as you. ❜
❛ maybe there's a universe out there where we're friends. ❜
❛ how can you be so smart yet so dumb at the same time? ❜
❛ don't think this changes anything between us. ❜
❛ you look ridiculous in that outfit, by the way. ❜
❛ if you die, i'll kill you. ❜
❛ is that a challenge? ❜
❛ ah, so you're not heartless after all. ❜
❛ i don't think i've ever seen you smile. ❜
❛ you never cared about me, so why now? ❜
❛ why didn't you kill me when you had the chance? ❜
❛ i don't even remember why we started fighting. ❜
❛ i don't have time for distractions right now. ❜
❛ you're not as bad as everyone says you are. ❜
❛ enemies make the best lovers, you know. ❜

( this is basically just a very self indulgent list of various fluff, angst, and suggestive themed dialogue sentence starters. )
❛ i could keep you safe. they’re all afraid of me. ❜
❛ i’m trying to fix your hair, so hold still. ❜
❛ your heart is beating so fast right now. ❜
❛ promise me you’ll still be here when i wake up. ❜
❛ you’re not as bad as everyone says you are. ❜
❛ i thought you’d like some company. ❜
❛ clean yourself up. you're getting blood all over the place. ❜
❛ here, give this a try and tell me what you think. ❜
❛ you can kiss me, you know. ❜
❛ come back to bed. ❜
❛ you look good like this. ❜
❛ working together again, it’s just like old times. ❜
❛ how is it you always know what i need, huh? ❜
❛ you’re lucky you got away with only a scratch. ❜
❛ i can’t imagine losing someone like that. i’m sorry. ❜
❛ you know you can always talk to me. ❜
❛ the only one who gets to kill you, is me. ❜
❛ so, what do i owe this pleasure? ❜
❛ ah, so you aren’t heartless after all. ❜
❛ may i have this dance? ❜
❛ it’s okay, you can touch me. i won't break. ❜
❛ enemies make the best lovers, you know. ❜
❛ hold still. this might sting a little. ❜
❛ we can't keep doing this. ❜
❛ you look like you've got something to say. ❜
❛ just relax and let me take care of you. ❜
❛ thought you’d be lighter without all that blood. ❜
❛ i had it under control. you didn’t need to do that. ❜
❛ everything looks so beautiful from up here. ❜
❛ you treat all your ladies like this? ❜
❛ well? how do i look? ❜
❛ can’t sleep? ❜
❛ do you mind if i smoke? ❜
❛ i’m scared of ending up alone. ❜
❛ i don’t think i’ve ever seen you smile. ❜
❛ how long has it been since you've slept? ❜
❛ you are losing my interest, and that’s very dangerous. ❜
❛ i’d suffer hell if you’d tell me what you’d do to me tonight. ❜
❛ you look really pretty right now. ❜
❛ i’ve never cared for anyone the way i care for you. ❜
❛ i’m not wearing any underwear. thought you’d like to know. ❜
❛ just a few more stitches and you’ll be as good as new. ❜
❛ i’d say we make a pretty good team. ❜
❛ i want you to forget this ever happened. ❜
❛ i'm here for business — not pleasure. ❜
❛ if i didn't know any better, i'd say you were jealous. ❜
❛ you'd look better down on your knees. ❜
❛ fine, keep acting like you hate me. ❜
❛ kiss me again. ❜
❛ are you asking me out on a date? ❜
❛ just sit there and look pretty and let me handle this. ❜
❛ you okay? caught you staring off into space again. ❜
❛ well, i do feel better now that you're here. ❜
❛ i'm not drunk enough for this. ❜
❛ why is it whenever we see each other, you’re covered in blood? ❜
❛ i was wrong about you. ❜
❛ the first time i met you, i had no idea you'd mean this much. ❜
❛ you gonna be a good girl / boy for me? ❜
❛ i’m not afraid of you. ❜
❛ books mean more to me than people anyway. ❜
❛ i just wanted to say thank you for protecting me. ❜
❛ how about a kiss goodnight? ❜
