— I hate and love myself for these — “Adria?” “Yeah?” “Do you think we’ll make it back?” “Don’t be an idiot, Theo, of course we will. Annie’s house is right there.” “Right. Right.” “You’re not dying on me. You got that?” “Yeah, I know.” “Good.” … “Adria?” “Yeah?” “I don’t think the bleeding’s stopped.” “Just hang on, alright? We’re almost there.” … “…Adria?” “Yeah?” “We—do you think… if we… possibly had more time… you could have loved me?” “What?” “Just because—I—I know we’re friends, right? Just best friends—but I kind of think I might maybe have always loved you— in a not-friend way, and—“ *cough* “I— if we had more time maybe, do you think you could have loved me?” “I always loved you, what do you mean?” “…” “…Theo?” —option two— “We’re almost there. You okay?” “Ye—yeah, I’m okay.” “You’re sure? We can take a rest, I don’t have bandages, but—“ “Theo.” “Yeah?” “I’m fine. Keep moving.” “Fine. You better tell me if you need to stop.” “Yeah, yeah, I will. You’re—you’re so annoying.” “Oh, says you, Miss I’m-bleeding-out-because-I-took-an-arrow-for-my-partner.” “Hey, you better be grateful that I took an arrow for you.” “Yeah, princess. Thank you so much for saving me and horribly injuring yourself in the process.” “You’re insufferable.” “As are you.” “Yeah, but you love me.” “Yep. Unfortunately.” “Wait, what?” “You really couldn’t guess? Do I need to spell it out for you?” “…yes.” “Adria, I am in love with you. I don’t know how long I have been or just how much I am, but I am in love with you. Happy?” “You chose a really bad time for this, you know. I’m going to die and you’re only now telling me you love me?” “You—you’re not going to die, Adria. Don’t say that. You’re not going to die. …right?” “Yeah, let’s go with that. But…” “But?” “I love you too. If I live—“ “When you live.” “Sure. When I live, we’re going to have a normal life. Without magic or bounty hunting or any weird threats. It’s just gonna be you and me, and the world at our fingertips. Okay?” “O—okay, okay, yeah. I love you.” “Love you too.” — I couldn’t decide who should die so I wrote a scene for each of em :D now I need to cry
