T: I love dogs. My best friend in the whole wide world is a fluffy mixed-breed named Russell. I FaceTime him regularly and we talk for hours. You should meet him, he's a really funny guy.
H: I bet he's just like you and gets all the lady dogs...
T: You bet. He's the handsomest good boy to ever live...
°•°•°•°
T: I'm a mamma's boy. My ma is the greatest woman you'll ever meet and I'd do anything for her. She's a good cook because my grandpa taught her, but she's an even better baker. She bakes the best pies. I always put on a few when I visit them for the holidays.
H: I actually love pie — apple pie especially.
T: Ever had a creampie?
H: And you ruined it...
°•°•°•°
T: My buddy, Diego, throws these huge Halloween parties every year, and my friends and I went as cheerleaders last year. We were sexy nurses the year before that.
H: Interesting. And what are you guys planning to be this year?
T: French maids. Wanna join us? I bet you'd look phenomenal in the costume...
°•°•°•°
T: I'm a health freak, I have to be if I want to be at the top of my game, but I have a concerning addiction to Reese's Cups. I never actually buy them because then I feel like I've lost, but my friends have been known to bribe me with them.
T: I'd never say no if you offered me any.
H: You're not as subtle as you think.
°•°•°•°
T: I don't have a favorite color, but I'm partial to red.
T: And blue and silver.
T: Go Knights!
°•°•°•°
T: I've watched all of the Barbie movies with my sister and now I watch them with my two nieces whenever I visit. Don't tell anyone I said this, but some of them are actually pretty good. It's no Nova Dominion, but we could always watch them...
H: That's sweet, but I'm more of an action and adventure movie girl. I suffer from second hand embarrassment, so I try to stick with safe movies.
T: Oh thank God, I can't watch anymore. Did you know I can recite Princess and the Pauper word for word. Anyway... what's your favorite movie?
H: It's kinda campy, but Mad Max.
T: Marry me...
°•°•°•°
T: I wasn't interested in girls until I was about sixteen. I was so focused on training and getting better that I never really paid any attention to them. I think I was even a little scared of them...
T: But don't worry — once I discovered what little Tristan could do, I put him to good use.
H: And made up for lost time...
°•°•°•°
T: I think the best and only way to sleep is naked.
H: Sleepovers must have been fun at your house.
T: Oh, definitely. Let's just say my parents didn't know about those 'fun' sleepovers.
°•°•°•°
T: If you don't count my right hand, I lost my virginity to a hot senior named Payton Fells in the back of a movie theater. I think I lasted five seconds, but she didn't seem to care. I think she was just happy to be the girl that deflowered Tristan Beckett. To this day, I get hard whenever I watch Scream, which is really hard to explain to others.
H: Remind me never to watch Scream with you.
T: Babe, you don't need Scream to make me hard for you...
°•°•°•°
T: I'm scared of spiders. My older brother put one in my pants when I was a kid and it bit my ass. It got infected and the doctor had to give me an injection. In the ass. I don't like spiders.
H: Awe, but they're so cute. All of those legs, those beady eyes, those pointy fangs...
T: You just gave me goosebumps. I don't think I'll be able to sleep alone tonight. Up for a sleepover?
H: How do you feel about being choked to death in your sleep?
T: I don't know. I might be into it...
°•°•°•°
T: I cried when Jack died. Imagine only getting to smash a young Kate Winslet once. Devastating.
H: It's the middle of the night. Go to sleep...
°•°•°•°
T: Practice was hard today. Don't get me wrong — it usually is, but sometimes I feel like I can't do anything right. I just switch off. If that makes any sense.
H: It does, but don't you think you're putting too much pressure on yourself? Just because you carry your burdens so well, doesn't mean they aren't heavy and won't eventually overwhelm you.
T: It's different for me. I'm Captain, which means I have to stay put together for my team. If I'm having an off day, we're all having an off day. It sucks, but I've gotta be perfect for them. For the fans. For my family. For everyone.
H: Not for me. I already know you're deeply flawed and nothing could change my mind. What kind of person gets hard for horror movies?
T: Funny enough, it makes me feel better knowing I'll never be perfect in your eyes. I don't have to try and act perfect in front of you.
T: And horror movies are the best movies to have sex to...
°•°•°•°
T: I saw a guy in a cow onesie in class today. You know you're one level below him, right?
H: A onesie does sound rather comfortable...
°•°•°•°
T: I love my dad, but I miss the man he was when I was a kid. Now, he's got all of these expectations, and he wants me to fit into this image he has of me in his head. I know he's the reason I've come this far, but sometimes I just want a normal dad, you know?
H: I get it. My dad is currently going through a midlife crisis and hasn't been the same man I grew up with for a while now. My mom isn't much better — she's kind of... intense. I wasn't allowed to do any of the normal things girls my age did or have friends outside of the church. I'm currently trying to shield my brother from having the same childhood, but yeah... parents. What can I say?
T: Fucking hell, I think you might have had it a lot worse than me.
H: Oh yay, I'm finally beating you at something.
°•°•°•°
T: Hannah?
H: Yes?
T: Look up.
H: Stop waving at me like that. Everyone's staring.
T: Stay put, I'm coming to you.
T: That doesn't mean turn around and start running away!
H: Can't talk. Busy running away.
°•°•°•°
T: What is our opinion on the current state of affairs?
H: That they're abysmal and drastic changes need to be put in place if we have any hope of saving ourselves and any future generations.
T: We're completely right, of course.
°•°•°•°
T: Last year a girl drugged and tried to rape me...
T: [Deleted]
H: What was that?
T: A mistake. So... what are you wearing right now?
