relationship status | a meme ♡

the single premise. single. taken. it's complicated. pining for my best friend. seriously, mentally devoted to my fellow mech pilot. in a committed relationship with the monster who ate my brother. dumped. whatever their lot in love, your character has been forced to wear a button displaying their relationship status for the world to see.

so, put their pride/shame in the header. then tag around!

Let's say she stepped out on me. Keep it simple. Might be she waited 'til after the war, funnily. Never got bored, just thought she could have it all.

Just a fuckin' liar.

[ Ah. War. He'd internally come to the conclusion that the guy's appearance, the striking tight-stretched scar tissue and chewn-off cartilage, was undoubtedly the result of some sort of fire and left it at that. War hits a little closer to home, and as (what he immediately assumes to be) the full story now fills itself in, Freddie finds himself feeling distinctly uncomfortable and a little sick.

What kind of soulless bitch—... it was what anyone with a partner was afraid of, really, even if piecemeal mutilation was less of a concern at such a high altitude, and perhaps that's why the assumption provokes such a personal feeling of offense. How much of the human body can be whittled away before love isn't enough? Will she still want me if a leg gets blown off—both of them—if something hits my spine and my dick stops working—if I'm in a wheelchair—?

None of that happened to Freddie, of course. Just some tinnitus, a fucking—piece of aquarium gravel it took about ten minutes to remove from his calf. This guy's life got ruined. They presumably got the same medal. ]

Jesus. Yeah, my ex-... [ He gestures. Sarah was a lying bitch, but it's hard not to feel distinctly humbled right now. ] It wasn't like... that, but she was just... I don't know how she lied to my fucking face for months.

You serve in Iraq, or—?

[ It's hard to gauge the guy's age without the usual indicators time etches into one's skin, but he doesn't dare guess at anything predating the second Bush administration, even if the Gulf War seems more likely. ]
