Song: Please Don't Say You Love Me by Gabrielle Aplin

(With some alterations to avoid so much repeating and better fit the characters)

-

Characters: Ingall. Garvin, Nico, Akira, and Revan mentioned.

-

Context: Just Ingall being bad at feelings and things again :)

-

Ingall, referencing the relationship, honestly surprised it's still ongoing: “Summer comes and winter fades, here we are just the same.”

Ingall, referencing some of the arguments between Garvin, Akira, and Revan, expressing his fears of things changing due to the conflict: “Don't need pressure, don't need change. Let's not give the game away!”

Ingall, looking back on how he felt before the start of the relationship after Maya’s death, referencing how alone and hopeless he felt: “There used to be an empty space, a photograph without a face…”

Ingall, smiling slightly and thinking about how lucky he got, first referencing Garvin: “But with your presence,”

Ingall, now referencing Revan: “and your grace, everything falls into place.”

Ingall, becoming more sad and regretful, referring to his fear of saying ‘I love you’ and his inability to express how he feels in the way he believes is correct: “Just please don't say you love me, ‘cause I might not say it back…”

Ingall, now referencing how he actually feels, even though he can't say it out loud: “Doesn't mean my heart stops skipping when you look at me like that!”

Ingall, referencing how confident he actually is in the relationship: “There's no need to worry when you see just where we're at.”

Ingall, somewhat sadly again: “Just please don't say you love me ‘cause I might not say it back…”

Ingall, looking back on his relationship with Amar and recognizing part of why it's so hard for him to ‘correctly’ express his affection: “Heavy words are hard to take, under pressure precious things can break.”

Ingall, referring to how quick Nico was to say ‘I love you,’ acknowleding that he believes Nico’s being honest, but also pointing out that everything is moving quickly and he's worried about it all: “And how we feel is hard to fake, so let's not give the game away.”

Ingall, repeating his previous words nervously, getting more and more anxious as Akira and Garvin both follow Nico’s lead in expressing their affection (though slightly differently): “Just please don't say you love me, ‘cause I might not say it back!”

Ingall, fully panicking at this point as the relationship progresses and he feels like he's not doing enough while also still not feeling fully secure in the relationship yet: “Fools rush in and I've been fooled before. This time I need to slow it down because I think this could be more, the thing I'm looking for!”

Ingall, repeating his earlier plea: “Just please don't say you love me ‘cause I might not say it back. Doesn't mean my heart stops skipping when you look at me like that, there's no need to worry when you see just where we're at.”

Ingall: “Just please don't say you love me ‘cause I might not say it back. Please don't say you love me ‘cause I might not say it back!”

Glad you liked the song thing

Trying to figure out which to do next lmao

Also have Rule #34 in the works too sooo. That'll be up at some point.

Briar, running out of the room toward Aries in a bee costume and wig, wayyy too excited: "Who am I?? Bee-yoncé!"

-

Revan: "Where'd the spaghetti go?"

Garvin, without even thinking: "Up my ass. I need more of this lasagna!"

-

Akira, to Revan (for some reason): "Haha, get fucked, Revan!"

Garvin, full monotone from the other room: "He never will."

-

Sol, during their villain arc, trying to be intimidating (they may have a villain arc, but they still act like a child, lmao): "I see you're having a good day so far, but have you tried... not having one?!?"

-

Briar, after seeing Nico go through a fucking crisis, dying of laughter: "Niki...you have... you have never looked worse in your life."

Nico, half-crying, half-laughing, out of breath and completely disheveled, trying to be mad and failing: "Queenie..."

The polyship is playing a game where you have to make up new words for things

Ingall, already expecting the worst: "Okay, Garvin, what's your new word?"

Garvin, extremely confident: "Yes, I have 'Gobbledy Wompas.'"

Akira and Nico: *Immediately dying of laughter*

Ingall, sighing: "Here we go."

Garvin, explaining with growing amusment: "It's like a thing that you say to your significant other. Like, being all cute, you're like- *Turns to Revan and looks him directly in the eye* 'Hey babe, can you... Gobbledy Wompas?'"

Revan, in immediate disgust: "No! NO! NO!"

Everyone else: Losing it

-

Simon, looking up in amusment as Sol stumbles into the room after the alarm (that goes off daily) reminding them to eat goes off: "It caught you off guard?"

Sol, so serious: "I'm always caught off guard. Always. I need to mentally prepare for everything-"

-

Garvin, after winning a game, standing up without thinking, in a southern accent: "Wooooo! Come on down to the Catfish Cabin, we are number one!"

Nico, in complete shock: "What??? Catfish Cabin??"

Ingall, equally as confused: "What?"

-

Revan, giving directions to Akira, who's driving: "Go left, go left!"

Akira, who's never driven before, barely touching the wheel: "I'm trying!"

Revan, fed up of being given this job: "Harder left!"

Akira: *iterally turns their whole body left*

Revan, convinced he's gonna die: "Akira!"

-

*Nico, Garvin, and Briar playing with an old furby*

Briar, giggling to themself: "Wait, wait, watch this!"

Briar, holds up furby to make it mimic them: "Garvin's an idiot!"

Furby, copying Briar: "Garvin's an idiot!"

Garvin, huffing: "That bitch!"

-

Akira, after hearing about what Amar, Revan, and Ingall's interaction: "I just- I wish I had a gun."

Ingall, concerned: "Huh?"

-

Garvin, no context needed: "See, in my mind, skeletons do cocaine."
