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!

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.]

[ don't smile don't smile don't smile. ]

[ aww, crap. ]

That's more like it. [it's almost a whisper, just soft enough that only she could hear. not that there's anyone else nearby to begin with.] Missed you too, you know.

Too? I never said...

[ oh. what's the use? her shoulders slump. she relaxes by just a few inches. ] I'm glad to see you're...[ she traces an invisible head-to-toe line, indicating his whole person. ] Less on fire, more alive. More -- more unalive. My drift. You catch it.

[Now that it was all out in the open, this was almost...awkward. Not that he minded. Spike lived in an awkward world of awkward things. But it still was, awkward.]

Enough to get a bit of a chill. [He shrugs one shoulder, straightening back up.]

...This place does get kinda drafty. [ she takes his deflection a little literally. on purpose.

and then bows her head. clears her throat. ] S-so that's it? This is you just showing up and...and checking in?

[ because at least two thirds of her waits for spike to instead deliver news of the latest impending apocalypse. ] A purely social call? No business?

Castles. [He shrugs, considering her words carefully. A flicker of something goes across his face before his features go neutral again.]

Not purely social, I'm afraid.

...Could've guessed.

[ a sigh. she lifts her chin. defiant -- but defying what exactly? ]

C'mon. Spill.

We'll have plenty of time for that. [Buffy's movement shifts her hair, and he wants nothing more than to brush it off her shoulder. But he's lost the right to touch her, and he knows as much. That sense of ethics does, however, let him take a step closer.] What say we get reacquainted, you and me?

I'm not interested in any kind of reacquainting that doesn't involve a cup of joe and a nice two-to-three-feet tabletop between us, Spike.

[ boundaries. best to establish them early. ]

[Expecting that well enough, he manages to keep the smile off his face just barely, holding up his hands and withdrawing his step.]

Wouldn't say no to a cuppa.

Then we're kitchen-bound.

[ one pointed finger -- down the hall. towards a staircase. ]

So we are. Nice place you've got here. Castley. [He says idly as he follows her direction, shoving his hands in duster pockets.]

Okay. So it's no Revello Drive but it's got...character? That character just so happens to be dour and dullish and a bitch to heat.

[He snorts, ducking his head as they head down the stairs.] Seems like you're doing alright to me.

Of course you'd say that. You haven't seen the seventh circle of Hell that is a hundred teenage girls trying to share a very limited number of outdated, antique'd bathrooms.

[ she takes the steps two at a time.]

[Moving to lean against the counter, Spike glances around curiously.] Just a hundred?

A couple hundred. The rest are...dispersed. Italy, England, Cleveland, et cetera and so on and so forth.

[ some trepidation. ]
