Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
I love it when characters say "Please don't punch me for this" or "Live long enough to hate me for this" before kissing their love interest IT'S THE SUPERIOR ENEMIES TO LOVERS TROPE
Kanej as Taylor Swift songs~
"I've got some tricks up my sleeve, takes one to know one."
"You're a cowboy like me, never wanted love, just a fancy car."
"Perched in the dark, telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear."
"You're a bandit like me, eyes full of stars. Hustling for the good life, never thought I'd meet you here."
"And the skeletons in both our closets plotted hard to mess this up."
"Forever is the sweetest con."
"And I'm never gonna love again."
"Put your lips close to mine, as long as they don't touch."
"And I'll do anything you say, if you say it with your hands."
"This path is reckless, this slope is treacherous. I like it."
"Your name has echoed through my mind, and I just think you should, think you should know."
"Nothing safe is worth the drive, and I will follow you, follow you home."
"Rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife."
"The more that you say, the less I know. Wherever you stray, I follow."
"I'm begging for you to take my hand."
"Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneaking in, as if you were a mythical thing."
"Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark. Show me the places where the others gave you scars.
"And I never saw you coming, and I'll never be the same."
"You come around and the armor falls."
"So you were never a saint, and I've loved in shades of wrong."
"We learn to live with the pain, mosaic broken hearts."
"This is the worthwhile fight. Love is a ruthless game, unless you play it good and right."
"These are the hands of faith, you're my Achilles heel."
"I never had the courage of my convictions, as long as danger is near."
"And it's just around the corner darling, 'cause it lives in me. No, I could never give you peace."
"All these people think love's for show, but I die for you in secret."
"The devil's in the details, but you got a friend in me."
"It's like I'm wasting your honour."
"Give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other."
"I'd give you my sunshine, give you my best. But the rain is always gonna come, when you're standing with me."
"Would it be enough, if I could never give you peace?"
"Untouchable like a distant diamond sky. I'm reaching out and I just can't tell you why."
"And when you're close, I feel like coming undone."
"You gotta come on, come on. Say that we'll be together."
"I realise your laugh is the best sound I have ever heard."
"I like the way I can't keep my focus. I watch you talk, you didn't notice."
"Don't be afraid to jump then fall, jump then fall into me."
"When people say things that bring you to your knees, I'll catch you."
"Hush, I know they said the end is near, but I'm still on my tallest tiptoes."
"I'm a mirrorball, I can change everything about me to fit in."
"I'm still on that tightrope, I'm still trying everything to keep you looking at me."
"I'm still a believer, but I don't know why. I've never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try."
“Someone else’s choice doesn’t change who you are.”
“I feel like it does,” Alex tells him. “I wanted to believe in some people being good and doing this job because they want to do good. Doing the right things most of the time and most things for the right reasons. I wanted to be the kind of person who believes in that.”
Henry’s hands move, brushing up to Alex’s shoulders, the dip of his throat, the underside of his jaw, and when Alex finally looks up, Henry’s eyes are soft and steady. “You still are. Because you still bloody care so much.” He leans down and presses a kiss into Alex’s hair. “And you are good. Most things are awful most of the time, but you’re good.”
