midnight texting


The Midnight Texting Meme

It's the middle of the night and you're trying to catch some z's — or brooding alone in the alleys, as one does — when your phone dings and suddenly a stranger or a friend is texting you. What could they possibly want at this hour? Is it important? Stupid? Are they drunk or maybe just needy? Do they need help hiding a body??? Pick up your phone and find out!

Rules:

● Post with your character's name and canon on the subject line, indicate preferences as needed
● Tag others
● Have fun!

Uh! Well, I never! [She scoffs before dissolving into another fit of giggles, shaking her head in amusement. His point of view on their first meeting was recontextualizing everything about that day. Kara remembered she thought how reticent Oliver was, and the way he was glaring at her made her feel a little on guard herself. Well, the "glaring" seemed to have hidden his true thoughts and feelings all too well.] Rao, that mini skirt is powerful.

[She sits up straighter, nodding at his words while hugging the pillow tightly in her arms.]

... Is it bad that I want to? You're... [Sighs, absently grabbing fistfuls of the fabric.] making me want to be a bit selfish.

[She could never afford to be selfish. Not Kara Danvers, especially not Supergirl; A woman who fiercely and readily advocates for other people at the expense of herself, leaving her wants and needs by the wayside.]

Huh. I never admitted that to anyone before...

I get it. [ A heavy exhalation of breath; he knows that weight, the kind you have to learn to live with. It's a choice they've both made. ] We don't belong to ourselves. Not when there's so much...[ he gestures to something beyond the walls of the foundry ] out there.

[ that's the truth they both carry, isn't it? when you feel as if you belong to the world, not out of obligation but the need to make a difference ]

It's not bad. [ head tilted back, he glances up towards the ceiling, eyebrows knitting together ] I'll tell you something that I am...terrible about convincing myself to follow.

You deserve to get to be Kara sometimes. Just Kara. Not Supergirl. Even when it's only for a night.

[ the amount of people that have spent time trying to convince oliver that he deserves to be happy is substantial. listening to that is something else entirely ]
