“Impossible. There’s no one, not my bond or any of the other Bonds you’re tied to, who loves you more than I do, Oleander. I will argue that point until I die, vehemently and with great pride. You’re the reason my heart beats, and even if I don’t deserve you, I’ll go to my grave doing everything I can to be the man you do deserve. I know I’ve done a shitty job of it so far, but I’ll prove myself to you.”
The fact that she chose to bond with me even after she found out about my family’s ties to the Resistance and their involvement in her capture and time in the camps? There’s no doubt in my mind that Oleander Fallows is the perfect Bonded for me, made for me to devote my life to and worship until my dying breath.
I know that sometimes worship looks like degradation
“Tell it ‘maybe next time’. Like, about ten minutes after this time is over.”
OH FUCK YEAHBFJSJFJSJDJDMCJDJDJFJKSJFJSJD
this might be my favorite bonding scene
1.gabe — his is both so romantic and so fucking hot ( bonus points for wanting to play with the bond too )
2.north —
3.atlas —
4.grph — hate this one because it was basically non consensual because their bonds took over and not in a sexy way
5. probably nox — not there yet but will update when i do
It’s as though I’ve been wandering the plains of the earth on my own for a thousand years, but now I’ve finally found where I belong.
“You’re not the only one who decided to wait. I didn’t— I couldn’t stand the idea of touching anyone else. I’m not saying that to throw all the others under the bus, it just wasn’t for me. When North raged about Gracie and what she did, that you’d been a virgin and your bond had acted without your consent in retaliation, I couldn’t believe you’d waited as well. It made me even happier with my decision.”
IM ACTUALLY SOBBING HE WAITED FOR HER
HE FUCKING WAITED FOR HER
HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL
okay maybe not first bc it means more bc she bonded with north and he had slept with other people so it feels extra special now
i guess im okay with atlas going first too because he’s like super loyal
okay maybe i wont die on this hill but him being first would have been sooooooooo deserved
I think the reason I was so fucking angry and spiteful toward you was because I knew that I’d never want anyone the way I wanted you. I never have and I never will.”
