If I was straight and Tina not the bitch from hell, one would assume we were almost flirting. But I was gay and Tina was the bitch from hell. We were not flirting.

Promises were made." "Not to me," I remind her. "Not out loud," she counters. She moves to stand in front of me. I try to look away, but she doesn't let me. "Not here," she says, touching my lips. "But here." She touches my head. "And here." She touches my chest. "Sometimes it's the promises we don't say that are the ones that are the loudest."

I always thought unicorns were made from sunshine and rainbows and good feelings. Like you just appeared one day in a field filled with flowers and a big fat sunbeam falling all around you. And there'd be butterflies or something." That sounded way pretty. And realistic for unicorn creation."

Gary looked back at Lartin and sized him up. Then he did that thing that I swear only unicorns can do. His blue eyes got impossibly big. His eyelashes lengthened as he fluttered them at Lartin. His mane was luminous in the darkened cave, and he purred, "Well aren't you precious."

I wished for Derek Michen to kiss my face off (that one was when I was nine years old and was absolutely positive he was the love of my life. He did kiss me two weeks later, but then he also kissed Jessica, David, Megan, Rhonda, and Robert. Derek turned out to be a bit of a whore).

Maybe you can bring that up at the next fan club meeting too." "Hey! I don't even know what you're talking about, okay? I hear things when I'm on my travels. I don't even care about stuff like that." I cared so hard. I had actually gone three times to the fan club meeting. They knew me as Mervin. I had a backstory and everything. It was my turn to bring muffins next time. I was considering poppy seed. Or cranberry. Fun."

You could have gone dark side," Tanner said. "Like full-on Darth Gordo," Chris said. Gordo put his face in his hands. "I told you guys, I'm a witch. I'm not a Jedi." "Um, excuse me," Rico said. "Can you or can you not shoot Force lightning from your fingertips." "It's not Force--" "We rest our case," Tanner said quite loudly."

You're not his mentor," Ryan said. "Morgan is. Why would you need to teach him anything?" Randall cocked his head at Ryan. Ryan blanched. "Uh. Why would you need to teach him anything, my lord head wizard Randall. Please don't melt my face off." "Kiss-ass," I muttered. "I like you," Randall said. "For now." "Eep," Ryan said. "You're a knight commander," I hissed at him. "Find your balls, Foxheart!" --

Now, you get to ask five questions. No more. Make them count." "How old is he?" Kori blurted. "That wasn't even a good question," I snapped at her. "Excuse you, it was an excellent question." "Sixty-seven," Charlie said. "You cradle robber," I said, suitably impressed."

Ox, if anything happened to you, it would kill me. There is no point for me if you're not here. So no. You're not going. You're going to stay here because I love you more than anything in this goddamn world and I don't fucking care if you're pi..

Can I kiss you?" It was said so shyly, so hesitantly, that I ached with it. "You want to?" I asked quietly. He nodded once, a little jerk of his head. "I guess that's all right," I said. "I'm not your first." "No." "And you're not mine." "No," I said, jaw tense. "But you're the only one that matters. So, it's like it's the first. For the both of us."

Underground cock fighting?" I was horrified. "I would never do that to roosters," I said. He winked at me. "I wasn't talking about roosters." I threw up a little in my mouth. "I just learned something new. I never want to hear the word cock come out of your mouth again." "Because you'd rather just have cock come in your mouth instead?" "Wow," I whispered reverently.

When I was a kid, I'd made a wish upon the stars. I wished to be someone important. Someone who mattered. And my wish had been granted. Because I was important, though not in the way I expected. I mattered. And not because of what the gods had placed upon me. I mattered because I was loved.

Le loro fedi catturano un raggio di luce e tintinnano l'una contro l'altra. E una bella scena, ma ci stiamo rapidamente avvicinando al punto in cui, se continuano a perdersi l'uno negli occhi dell'altro, ci ritroveremo tutti sommersi in un mare di miele e vedremo gli arcobaleni uscirgli dal culo, e io non ho tempo da perdere.

Never, ever let anyone tell you that who you are is wrong. It's okay to be gay. Or straight. Or bisexual. It's also okay to be asexual, demisexual, pansexual, or aromantic. You do you, and if anyone gives you grief for that, remember one thing: You are exactly the way you're supposed to be.
