“I love you, Nova.”
“I love you more, Rose.”

“This—us—is forever.”
“Forever.”

“Heroes never excited me. I want a villain. My villain. One who will ruthlessly fight the world by my side. One whose world begins and ends with me. One who loves every part of me, lifts me up and fucks me like there’s no tomorrow,” “Be my villain, Nova. Be mine.”

“…Take me back because I can’t stay apart from you anymore. Please, Rose. Please.”

“If loving her from afar is all I’m allowed, then that’s what I’ll do. Whether or not she’s ready, I’ll be back to beg her for another chance. I’ll keeping coming back until she says yes.”

“Because it’s physically impossible for me to stay away from you. Because I love you. Because you’re wife. My heart that beats outside my chest. Because I don’t want to be anywhere else besides with you. Most importantly, because I have no intention of letting you go without fighting tooth and nail. I would rather spend an eternity chasing you than without you.”

“I will respect your wishes, but we could never be over… You and I are forever, Rose.”

“Both of us are victims of neglectful and troubled childhoods. Hurt differently but by the same ones who are supposed to love us unconditionally and protect us, not the other way around.”

“Most of all… I hate how easily you made me fall in love with you, Rose.”

“I hate you so much it has consumed every fiber of my being. I hate you so deeply it hurts to breathe. I hate that my heart only beats for you. That if you asked me to carve it out and lay it at your feet, I would do it.”
