“don’t go.”

chiinashero:

          a quiet plea.   so different from her usual confidence that it does give mulan pause.   a soft sigh escapes and she realizes she’s probably seemed on edge and maybe even a little angry as she’s announced her leave.   she knows she shouldn’t,  it’ll be SO MUCH HARDER to leave if she does,  but she lifts her eyes to look into petra’s.   her stomach immediately pools with uncertainty and giddiness and a myriad of other emotions that probably shouldn’t be felt all at once.   it causes tears to momentarily collect,  but they don’t fall.

          “  i’m just going home for the night.     but it isn’t just that.   it’s that her prompting to go home was another moment of hesitation from petra on what exactly it is they are to each other.   even she has to admit it feels a little final,  so she tries to ease the tension in her own muscles and she walks back toward petra until they’re standing only an arm’s reach apart.     i can’t stay.   –i’m not mad.     this isn’t a moment to convince herself of what she’s saying because she knows it.   maybe she’d felt a tinge of anger at first but any spark of it fizzled out the second she looked back at petra.

          she pictures herself reaching up and tucking a few golden locks behind petra’s ear,  pictures herself slowly reeling her in and kissing her.   she doesn’t do those things.   she stays firmly planted.     i guess i’m just trying to give you some space,  more time to think.     teeth gently bite down atop her lower lip and she hesitates before speaking again.     but—  you’re going to drive yourself crazy overthinking things.  ”   she holds her breath,  hopes she hasn’t overstepped any boundaries.   she’s pushing just a little but only because she feels like petra wants to give.   wouldn’t be here if she thought there was absolutely no chance at all.

It isn’t the first time he’s been attacked as MAYOR rather than Green Arrow. Unfortunately, Oliver is sure it won’t be the last. “I’m fine,” he speaks through gritted teeth, forcing himself to power through an intense pain in his side. He isn’t nearly as worried as he should be. People have been trying to kill him for a DECADE and he’s still here. Covered in scars and emotionally damaged, but still here nonetheless. “I promise you, I’m not going anywhere. Not now, not ever. I swore to ALWAYS protect you and I fully intend on following through with that.”

‘you’re important to me.’ ( from jane )

        she’d be lying if she were to say it’s never crossed her mind that there’s a possibility that this relationship is mostly based on obligation or even pity on jane’s part. ( given their complicated history, she wouldn’t be surprised. ) for starters, she’s the mother of her son’s siblings which makes them family, and not exactly by choice. and then there’s the ( sometimes really exasperating ) fact that jane’s just… nice and pleasant and everything petra isn’t.

so she really doesn’t want to impose. besides, it’s not as if she has to celebrate her birthday. she didn’t last year, or the year before that. but then she’s hearing words of reassurance, words that shelve whatever doubts she still has and – ❛ fine. ❜ she relents, and a smile threatens to pull at her lips. ❛ just us and the kids ? ❜

different ways to say i love you !  /  accepting.
