meme | #001 -- hardest words to say ( and i'd do anything to make you stay )

HARDEST THING TO SAY MEME

Sometimes the hardest things to say are also the most important. It doesn't matter how much it scares you to do so, it's finally time to be honest.

- post as your character.
- others go to RNG and roll numbers 1-22 then respond setting up a scenario.
- respond and have fun!

01. I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE Unfortunately, you can't keep lying to your partner/friend/family anymore. You just don't feel the same for them anymore.
02. I WOULD KILL YOU The person who means so much to you has done something completely unforgivable and now it's time to make sure they know where they stand. You would kill them if you ever got the chance.
03. I LOVE YOU, BUT... A bittersweet love confession. You know you love this person more than anything, but you're not sure you can give them what they need.
04. I DON'T TRUST YOU No matter how you feel about this person, you really can't trust them anymore.
05. SACRIFICE You're going to sacrifice yourself, for the person you're talking with or for the good of all humanity. You want them to know the reasons and that there's no stopping you.
06. TROUBLE You're in trouble and you might not make it through. You need to let at least one person know how you feel before it's too late though.
07. CRIME CONFESSION You did something you weren't proud of and now it's time to admit it.
08. DEMONS We've all got our demons and we've all got our own personal nightmares we have to face, but this time? You can't hold it all back.
09. I'M PREGNANT... Now's not the best time for it maybe or maybe you're just nervous how your partner will react, but they need to hear it.
10. BETRAYAL You've betrayed this person and you have to tell them the truth, no more running from it
11. CHEATED You've been unfaithful and it's time to tell your lover.
12. BROKEN That's it. You've had it. You are entirely broken and tired of everything.
13. AFRAID Something has you deathly afraid and you need to talk about it.
14. HELP ME You need someone to help you, bad. You can't do it alone anymore, you've tried.
15. I'M SORRY You said something or did something horrible and now it's time to ask for forgiveness.
16. YOU WERE A MISTAKE Sorry, but whoever you're talking to was the biggest mistake of your life or maybe it was just something you did together.
17. NOT WHO I SAY I AM You're so far from who they think you are, you need to finally tell the truth.
18. LET'S RUN AWAY You want to just get out, leave everything behind and be with this one person for the rest of your life.
19. ASHAMED Either you're ashamed of something they have done or something you did, either way you need to bring it up.
20. CAN'T REMEMBER The person standing in front of you looks so happy to see you, so relieved, but how do you tell them you can't remember a thing about them?
21. HOW COULD YOU You don't understand how they could treat you like they have, do what they have done when you've done nothing but be good to them.
22. YOUR CHOICE Either choose an option from above, mix and match, or make up your own idea.

yep. totally stolen from memebells.
frolic with your subject lines and be free!

[They're not so literal this time, but there are still plenty to go around. Spike can only sigh as he taps on her window. He knows she may not be able to invite him in, but just seeing her for one moment is better than not seeing her at all. And she did choose him over Angel, well. In a way.]

[ spike.

her mouth twitches first into a half-smile but she soon drowns it out in a frown. a carefully calculated frown. but still -- she nudges the window open and crosses her arms on the sill. ]

What could you possibly want?

Take your pick. [he quirks his head, but just stays there on the roof, a bit frozen. He could be a patient man when he wanted to be.]

Can I plead the fifth? Is that a thing I can do?

[ no invitation. not yet. just...time. and the chance to soak him in. last time she saw him, he was burning up. her heart is mid-painful-constriction, at the moment. panging. ]

Can do what you want, luv. [He shrugs, almost losing his balance. It would really not be so cool if he went toppling off her roof. Take a breath, Spike.] It's a free country. [Foreverlame.]

[ she rolls her eyes. ]

Oh for the freakin' love of God. Get the hell in here before I'm spatula-ing smooshed vamp off the flagstones for weeks.

[ one peek out the castle wall reminds her that the fall is far; however, spike's the sort of creature who could survive the distance. clearly her complaint is a cover. ]

[He narrows his eyes, but isn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth. Not that Buffy is any sort of horse at all. Ungracefully, Spike stumbles in and just barely manages not to go crashing into her.] As you like it.

[ with a curt hand gesture, she motions him through the rest of the room -- out the bedroom door. her glance is imperious; she would brook no argument. ]

What brings you to my neck of the world? [ a quiet scoff at her own unintended pun. ] Hopefully not actually my neck.

Can't a bloke just show up--unannounced--without some sort of third degree? [It sounds weak, especially since he's already trailing after her like a lost puppy dog. He starts over again.] Wanted to see how you were, with my own eyes. Is that so wrong?

O-of course it's wrong. [ she stammers her initial protest as she tugs the bedroom door shut behind the pair of them. safely in the hall with its high, normanesque architecture and its impossible-to-heat stone.

she crosses her arms over her chest. ] You could've -- golly gee, I don't know -- called first? Give a little heads up? It would have been commonly decent, as they say.

Buffy, Buffy... [It actually makes him smile a little, stuffing his hands into his pockets and leaning against the cool stone.] Have you ever known me to be commonly decent?

Oh. I get it. So I'm not supposed to have faith in your growth as a person, now. Right. Duly noted and logged and stored for any and all future reference.

[ cheeky with just a dash of extra barb. better this than the soppy so-glad-you're-not-ash-at-the-bottom-of-sunnydale reaction. she may have already had warning that spike was back in business but it certainly hadn't prepped her for how relieved she now feels to see him again.

conflict abounds. ]

Didn't say that, did I, luv. [his voice is lowered now, catching on to that relief and don't think he isn't.] But you didn't have to invite me in, either.

What? And then run with the alternative of taking all the stairs down to the front door of this suckishly elevatorless medieval wonderland just to meet you outside? Nuh-uh.

[ watch as she carefully hedges her way around the unspoken option of simply turning him away. ]

[He skirts around all that himself, leaning into her space a little.] You don't seem surprised to see me.

[ her shoulders straighten; steel enters her bones and she doesn't back down. she would sooner stand here with his space-invasion at full tilt than retreat.

she isn't a retreater. ]

Please. My organization? My Rolodex? It's the definition of replete. I have more contacts than I do handbags. And that's saying something. So of course I'm not freaking surprised to see you.

[ a huff. she reigns herself in on the very cusp of what took you so long? ]

[Spike is more likely to do the backing down than she is and he knows it. She knows it. This whole bloody castle knows it.]

I'm sorry. Is that what you want to hear?

Is that what you think I want to hear?

[ yes. yes indeedy. all of her righteous indignation demands his fervent apologies. asap. ]

Well... yeah, isn't it? [He shrugs, ducking his head.] But I was a coward and you deserve better than that. You always have.

[ another theatrical roll of her eyes as she tries to keep the sincerity at bay. she doesn't want to find herself revealing vulnerabilities; not now. not when she has a whole organization to play the strong and cool and collected leader for. ]

No. See. Wanna know what I think? I think I deserve better than radio silence and hearing about your once-again-back-from-the-grave act from someone -- anyone -- other than you.

[ typical buffy -- making plays at his devotion whilst denying any expression of it. craving his due respect without respecting it duly. ]

Funny thing about a phone, though, Slayer. Line runs both ways. [Spike looks down at his nails, black polish chipping. Two can play at this game even if he knows he'll let her win, no matter who really emerges the victor.]

[ she is left to gape. jaw working -- soundless. paralyzed for a moment by the truth that he...that he dares to lob into her side of the court.

with the utmost resignation and reservation: ] I-I've been busy. Major operation to run. Lost girls to find and help be less...lost.

[He sneers, just mean enough. Just transparent enough he knows she'll see through it. But none of that matters, not now.]

Was busy myself, but I'm sure you heard all about it. All those contacts of yours.

That's not the point. [ she gains a little extra steam -- one open palm raised in a sign that was halfway between supplication and frustration. ] I shouldn't have had to hear it from one of them.

[ shut up, summers. he's already apologized. but all the latent concerns she could never adequately voice had to find their expression somehow. somewhere. and as she couldn't hug him, she would have to berate him. ]

Shouldn't have to hear you're fine and not to worry about it from Mr. Brood of all people. We both know he's not a better conversationalist, at the very least. [He leans just a little closer, narrowing his eyes.]
