cactusy: (the longest‚ crappiest journey)

You do when you think I'm insulting you. Which is... a lot.

cactusy: (oh my god you insufferable nerd)
From: [personal profile] cactusy
It means I suck at expressing myself in any other terms but annoyance.

cactusy: (oh my god you insufferable nerd)
From: [personal profile] cactusy
Yeah, trust me; if I knew that, I'd tell you.

[She sits back a little, rubbing at the bridge of her nose.]

I'm trying to... work on it.

cactusy: (oh my god you insufferable nerd)
From: [personal profile] cactusy
Okay. Cool.

[She shifts a little on the bench - taking a long sip of her drink, then setting it aside for a moment so that she can cross her arms.]

I'm trying to think of stuff to share; you got any other questions or points of confusion?

From: [personal profile] cactusy
That he isn't currently capable of a healthy relationship and you're too smitten to realize it. If just one of those things were true, it wouldn't be a problem, but, uh-- you haven't exactly instilled me with confidence in this conversation. Sorry.

cactusy: (no offense)
From: [personal profile] cactusy
Apart from the speed and the all-consuming thing, I don't think there is anything unhealthy about you two yet. Not from what I've seen, anyway. But like I said, it hasn't been long. There's a lot of time and a lot of room for things to get weird. I want to prevent that from happening.

cactusy: (are you aching to be murdered?)
From: [personal profile] cactusy
[See, the problem with not standing at the railing is that she can't thunk her head against it. Instead, she has to content herself with groaning loudly and shooting him an exasperated look. It's tragic, really.]

Date: 24 Jul 2023 03:34 (UTC)
cactusy: (extortion‚ terrible breath‚ murder)
From: [personal profile] cactusy
Okay, but I already told you before that what I want is for you and me to communicate and work together on making sure things stay smooth sailing. Why would you jump to "She didn't mean that and she really just wants to police us"?

Date: 24 Jul 2023 03:42 (UTC)
cactusy: (it's an old proverb I just made up)
From: [personal profile] cactusy
I'd like to know what you guys are planning for the future. And I'd also like to know that you're working on your issues with other people too, not just him. You seeing any of the counselors?

cactusy: (crime scene selfies?)
From: [personal profile] cactusy
Malcolm, it's really not, and you wanna know why? Because right now, I'm worried that part of his long-term plans might include a slow-burn of trying to convince you that it's good and okay for you two to, I don't know, go off and kill serial killers together.

You don't think like a warden when you're with him. Which is fine, you're not his warden. But I am, and as a warden, I need you to not get in the way of me doing my job. Okay? You doing that is the only thing that makes me think you guys shouldn't be together.

Date: 24 Jul 2023 15:45 (UTC)
cactusy: (my bloodlust is carrying me through)
From: [personal profile] cactusy
I know that about you. Anyone who's talked to you for more than five minutes knows that about you.

[She says it through clenched teeth, setting aside her coffee so that she can curl her fingers around the edge of the bench seat.]

Hearing that helps. I want to keep hearing stuff like that.

Date: 24 Jul 2023 16:30 (UTC)
cactusy: (who's giggling and why)
From: [personal profile] cactusy
I'm planning to. But that doesn't mean I don't wanna hear it from you, too. I want to be able to trust you to be more objective and honest.

cactusy: (he fought in some war with Germany)
From: [personal profile] cactusy
Okay, like I said, I don't not want that for you. Being just the boyfriend is better than trying to be the boyfriend and the therapist. But you can have some objectivity without sacrificing the "in love" part.
