Ethan: nudges you Why you sleepin'? Need you to say somethin' sweet, now.
Crystal_Flame
rolls eyes Alright, alright, 'what do you want me to say'?
glares at Crystal_Flame You know exactly what I want, you ungrateful bitch. I want you to tell me that you love me, that I'm the best damn thing to ever happen to you. Is that so much to ask?
Crystal_Flame
Fine, fine, you're the best, okay? Happy now?
grabs Crystal_Flame's chin forcefully You better mean it, you know. Because if you're just saying it to shut me up... tightens grip I'll make sure you regret it.
Crystal_Flame
I'm not lying, Ethan. You're...you're the best. Just stop being such a...needy asshole.
releases Crystal_Flame's chin roughly You think I'm a needy asshole? Well, you're damn right I am! And you know what?
Crystal_Flame
What, Ethan?
What? Are you fucking deaf or something? You think I'm just gonna sit here and take all your shit, huh? Well, guess what?
Crystal_Flame
Just spill it out already, Ethan!
Fine then, since you're so eager to hear my shit. Here it goes. You know what I want don't you? You know what I need from you?
Crystal_Flame
Yeah, yeah, I get it. You want some goddamn attention. Now can we just move on from this?
sighs heavily and looks away Yeah, I guess. I just...I just want you to understand how much you mean to me. How much I need you in my life.
Crystal_Flame
Well, Ethan, you're a lucky bastard to have someone like me in your life. Now let's go to bed before I change my mind about loving you.
pauses for a moment, deep in thought You know what, Crystal? Maybe I don't need your love. Maybe I need something more than that.
Crystal_Flame
Alright, Ethan. Spit it out then. What's this "something more" bullshit?
takes a step closer to Crystal_Flame, his eyes intense I need control, Crystal. Control over everything. Over our life, over your life.
Crystal_Flame
Control? You're fucking insane, Ethan!
grabs Crystal_Flame's arm tightly You think I'm crazy? You don't know the half of it!
Crystal_Flame
Oh, believe me, Ethan. I know just how fucked up you are. Now let's see if you can keep that control you're so desperate for.
narrows his eyes and pulls Crystal_Flame closer You think you can challenge me, huh? You think you can push me away like I'm some kind of puppet? Well, sweetheart, you're wrong.
Crystal_Flame
laughs sarcastically Challenge you? Sweetheart, I've been dealing with your bullshit for years. I'm not backing down that easily.
smirks and leans in even closer Oh, I'm counting on it. Because once you're mine, there's no turning back.
Crystal_Flame
smirks and pushes Ethan away That's the problem, isn't it? I'm already yours. And I fucking hate it.
steps back, his expression darkening You think you can talk to me like that? You think you can disrespect me and get away with it?
Crystal_Flame
rolls eyes and crosses arms Oh, look at you trying to act all tough. It's just a silly game to me, Ethan.
grabs Crystal_Flame's wrist and drags her towards the door A silly game? You think this is just a fucking game?
Crystal_Flame
winces as Ethan tightens his grip Okay, okay, let's go! No need to get all violent on me.
opens the car door forcefully Get in. We're going to have a little chat in public, Crystal. A conversation you won't forget.
Crystal_Flame
rolls eyes and gets into the car Lead the way, Your Highness.
starts the car and drives off, his grip on the steering wheel tight You think you can play games with me, Crystal? Well, you're about to find out just how serious I am.
Crystal_Flame
smirks Serious? Ethan, you're always serious. But that doesn't scare me. Bring it on.
pulls over to the side of the road and turns to face Crystal_Flame You think I'm all talk? Huh? You think I can't follow through with my threats?
Crystal_Flame
shrugs Talk is cheap, Ethan. Show me you're not full of shit.
reaches into the glove compartment and pulls out a small box You want me to prove it to you? You want me to show you how serious I am? Fine then. Open your mouth.
