midnight textings


The Midnight Texting Meme

It's the middle of the night and you're trying to catch some z's — or brooding alone in the alleys, as one does — when your phone dings and suddenly a stranger or a friend is texting you. What could they possibly want at this hour? Is it important? Stupid? Are they drunk or maybe just needy? Do they need help hiding a body??? Pick up your phone and find out!

Rules:

● Post with your character's name and canon on the subject line, indicate preferences as needed
● Tag others
● Have fun!

the best of you is still there, buried beneath the darkness, the hatred, and the fear.

if i had taken it, unbearable light-years wouldn't separate us and you wouldn't be forced to use petty tactics to make me reach out.

no. i won't be seduced by you. not again.

That's the part that lives in you. The part of me that I can't be.

Then, you'll force me to take everything around you, everyone around you, until you do come for me.

taking everything from me isn't the way to get me to come to you. i'll only resent you more.

you already come here when i'm sleeping to steal my things. when i'm unsuspecting. vulnerable. my defenses down.

why must i come to you? what's stopping you from coming to me?

Because, I already come to you every night. Rey.

You and I have different opinions on what that state is.

When you do, finally wake, I will come to you.

we're never going to agree on any of this, are we?

fine. if i were to come to you, how would you want me?

We are exactly who we need to be for one another. Come to me as you are.

should i ship myself to you again or prefer me through our bond?

we could meet somewhere. just the two of us.

destroy whatever awful room we find ourselves in and put it on the first orders tab.

Feeling destructive?

I think that's something to consider, in choosing our meeting point.

feeling something — aggression, frustration, maybe something else. it's hard to tell when talking to you.

send me the coordinates, wherever it is, i'll come to you.
