HARDEST WORDS TO SAY
Sometimes the hardest things to say are also the most important. It doesn't matter how much it scares you to do so, it's finally time to be honest.

- post as your character.
- Others go to RNG and roll numbers 1-22 then respond setting up a scenario.
- Respond and have fun!

01. I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE
Unfortunately, you can't keep lying to your partner/friend/family anymore. You just don't feel the same for them anymore.
02. I WOULD KILL YOU
The person who means so much to you has done something completely unforgivable and now it's time to make sure they know where they stand. You would kill them if you ever got the chance.
03. I LOVE YOU, BUT...
A bittersweet love confession. You know you love this person more than anything, but you're not sure you can give them what they need.
04. I DON'T TRUST YOU
No matter how you feel about this person, you really can't trust them anymore.
05. SACRIFICE
You're going to sacrifice yourself, for the person you're talking with or for the good of all humanity. You want them to know the reasons and that there's no stopping you.
06. TROUBLE
You're in trouble and you might not make it through. You need to let at least one person know how you feel before it's too late though.
07. CRIME CONFESSION
You did something you weren't proud of and now it's time to admit it.
08. DEMONS
We've all got our demons and we've all got our own personal nightmares we have to face, but this time? You can't hold it all back.
09. I'M PREGNANT
... Now's not the best time for it maybe or maybe you're just nervous how your partner will react, but they need to hear it.
10. BETRAYAL
You've betrayed this person and you have to tell them the truth, no more running from it
11. CHEATED
You've been unfaithful and it's time to tell your lover.
12. BROKEN
That's it. You've had it. You are entirely broken and tired of everything.
13. AFRAID
Something has you deathly afraid and you need to talk about it.
14. HELP ME
You need someone to help you, bad. You can't do it alone anymore, you've tried.
15. I'M SORRY
You said something or did something horrible and now it's time to ask for forgiveness.
16. YOU WERE A MISTAKE
Sorry, but whoever you're talking to was the biggest mistake of your life or maybe it was just something you did together.
17. NOT WHO I SAY I AM
You're so far from who they think you are, you need to finally tell the truth.
18. LET'S RUN AWAY
You want to just get out, leave everything behind and be with this one person for the rest of your life.
19. ASHAMED
Either you're ashamed of something they have done or something you did, either way you need to bring it up.
20. CAN'T REMEMBER
The person standing in front of you looks so happy to see you, so relieved, but how do you tell them you can't remember a thing about them?
21. HOW COULD YOU
You don't understand how they could treat you like they have, do what they have done when you've done nothing but be good to them.
22. YOUR CHOICE
Either choose an option from above, mix and match, or make up your own idea.

[ no, god damn it. he tried so hard, he can't let this get weird and awful. he just sort of flounders over his glass and then sets it down, spreading his fingers over the table top. ]

So, uh, I think Food Lion's still open. I could go pick up a cake or something and we can jam a candle in it and sing happy birthday to the first time we did anything together in forever, just for irony's sake. Could be fun.

[ What he wants to do is make Dave feel the neglect he's felt. Just - shut him down, go off, he's used to being lonely but obviously Dave isn't. ]

Okay. [ But he's tired of being lonely and maybe a Dave who tries is a Dave who can change. ]

Yeah?

[ well shit, okay, awesome. he stands and sticks his hands in his pockets, slouching and looking cool so it doesn't look like he just lost himself to being hopeful for a second. ]

Cool, alright. Taking requests on flavors starting now.

Uh. Vanilla, is, my vote. [ He taps his thumb against his lips, leaning back a little and looking up at the ceiling. ]

Sounds good.

[ picking up his keys and heading for the door: possibly the most familiar-feeling thing he's done in ages. ]

Back in a sec.

Okay.

[ Even if he's wondering if that's true. ]

[ he'd have offered to bring Tavros along if it weren't something that'd take forever, and the store's only going to be open for half an hour and it takes fifteen minutes to get there—

but only five minutes for him to nab the cake (and a bag of funyuns, and oh yeah, orange soda too). and then five more to loiter around and chat up the bag girl, hey, haven't seen you in awhile, how you doing? oh i'm good, i'm always good. oh, this? it's date night.

oh yeah.

then he comes back, letting the sound of the door opening and the bags rustling announce himself rather than calling out. ]

[ Look at all the clean dishes now set up on the table. He's... leaving the clean ones on the counter because the cupboards are really high and he doesn't want to smash them again. He just. Has to not knock that tower off by turning too suddenly.

Its just.. Weird. Really, really weird. Having Dave home, much less seeing him actually - try. Where do they even start to go from here? ]

[ hey, man, something Tavros said apparently hit home. he doesn't know the first thing about actually getting down to the serious business, but whenever he got a broad mad at him or something, dinner and some cuddles is pretty much all it took to calm them down, and he didn't even like them like he usually likes Tavros. maybe it's just the concept that he could lose the kid if he doesn't shape up, or maybe it's that he wants to prove he's not that bad to make himself feel better, or fuck, maybe he's just bored on his days off. he really has no idea.

but it's worth it when he walks into the kitchen and they're just being domestic as fuck and it looks and feels weird but he still kinda sorta half-smiles and whips the spoils out of the grocery bags and places them on the table for assessment and then goes to tackle that tower of dishes before they all fall down, and the whole time he doesn't really say anything but it's not that angry ignoring each other and wanting to rip each other's throats out silence so he's okay with it. ]

[ It looks so good. ]

I'll see if we still have, uh, candles left over from, your wiggling day celebration.

Good plan.

[ he'll bust out the paper plates for this one. and the napkins with Blue from Blue's Clues on them. hella irony. ]

[ These candles are giant novelty candles and it's a good thing they only need one. He sticks it in and lights it. ]

[ yes. hell yes. hell fucking yes.

Dave goes ahead and freestyles a happy birthday to their relationship rap right on the spot, because actual singing is for losers. and nothing can be said about throwing down over something like this, clearly. absolutely nothing. ]

[ CLAPPING HE LOVES IT WHEN YOU RAP FOR HIM ]

[ wraps it up and throws up a gang sign. yeah ]

[ Okay gonna cut the cake now ]

[ sweet. cake and what's left of the wine, they got this down. ]

So yeah this was basically the best idea I've ever had.

It was, most definitely.

[ even if the piece he's eating is like paper thin. ]

...thanks.

... For what? [ noms ]

For giving me a shot, sticking around, putting me in my place, eating my crappy food, existing... I dunno, pick a card, any card. They're all good.

[ god just make him spell it out why don't you. ]

[ oh ]

I really, care about you, Dave.

I know, but you still could've blown me off. Not like you owe me anything.

No, but. I don't think that love, or, pity, is about owing.

[ but you didn't have to keep loving me, he thinks, frowning around the tines of his fork and sizing Tavros up from behind his sunglasses. i would've given up. ]

I think you got a better idea than most normal people do about what this shit's about.
