you ever just…. fall into a burning ring of fire? and go down, down, down as the flames get higher? and like it burns burns burns etc. the ring of fire lol

You fucking serious? How old are you?

like it's MY fault my love language is acts of service and all i know how to do is kill

it didn't feel like settling to her, but amara could see how it would look like it was. hiding your relationship in any context wasn't usually a sign of the healthiest environment. could she help that love made it worthwhile? she didn't grow up carrying about anyone else's opinion which made she and silas' situation perfectly suitable to her. but amara could admit, especially with them becoming serious, that it might be time. graduation wasn't that far off. their next chapters would be starting sooner rather than later and amara knew silas was going to be a part of hers. at the mention of a trip north east, eyes widen in a sense of horror. "silas, we can't just ambush them. you and i both know it would only make things worse." if he wanted her to have a fighting chance, they should be as thoughtful as possible. or maybe not, considering his family seemed to have a superiority complex rivaling that of the ancient greek gods. her hands cover his, a gentle smile offered before kissing him once more. "i'm not afraid of what they'll think of me. you're making you're own choices now so obviously it might take some time for them to adjust." if they ever could.

things between them have gotten serious and honestly, silas couldn’t see himself spending the rest of his life with anyone other than amara. if it’s true that only fools rush in, then so be it. “sure we can, we can do anything.” his status has always made him feel powerful except for when it came to facing his parents. that sense of superiority disappears when artemios’ unimpressed expression falls on him and ophelia scrutinizes every single detail of his life thus far. “i can’t be scared all my life.” he gives her hands a gentle squeeze before leaning forward, a bright, confident smile spreads across his face as their eyes meet. “i know leo will be ecstatic to finally meet you in person.” his younger brother has only met her once on a video chat and was completely infatuated by her. “as for harmonia, she’s going to do whatever she thinks mom and dad want her to do. it’s always been that way, she’s their favorite child and they don’t try to hide it.” if amara hadn’t inspired him to switch majors, he may have had that title but none of it matters anymore. her impact changed his perspective in life and he’s finally… happy. it took over twenty years to find himself. “but it doesn’t matter, okay? i love you and i refuse to keep you a secret from them. it’s not fair that i’ve met your family on several occasions and you’ve never met mine.” what does that say about him as a boyfriend? did she even think of him as marriage material?
