gwendolynraeheath:

“Probably, but who wouldn’t wanna be royalty? Aw if you actually do succeed with that I will love you forever! Yea sure it can! Anything can be on your bucket list, they’re no rules!”

“I’m gonna guess the people who are already royalty. they probably hate it. I’ll see what I can do--that probably needs to go on the list just so I can accomplish it. Okay, then that’ll be second, after getting you in a parade.”

wydblue:

“I was determined to actually do the shit on my list since I started it when I was, like, twelve or something. It’s just disappointing when people don’t get around to doing it, what’s the point of making one if you’re never gonna do it? I’ll help! You obviously gotta add skydiving, that’s pretty much a classic.”

“You started your bucket list when you were like twelve? you’re honestly like the most determined person I’ve ever heard of. Is it totally lame to bail out of the real skydiving and settle for the indoor kind? Because I don’t know how I feel about relying on a tiny cord to make sure I don’t land on the ground.” 

[acokyla]

charlie-wolfe:

“Exactly! It better to do the things you want and feel good about it than going by a list and knowing you can’t fulfill it all. Craziest? it would be skydiving.”

“And then if you really wanted to then you could write it on a list after you do it.” She laughed before raising her eyebrows, “Wow, you actually went skydiving? I don’t know if I could ever do that--too paranoid my parachute would malfunction or something.” 

[acokyla]

samlangwood:

“Oh, I don’t know. Probably not. I just always thought that way. So since you look so panicked, do you have one already? What’s on there?” He smiled, being the curious george that he was.

“I hope it’s not. But who knows how these things are supposed to work.” She shook her head, “I don’t but I was trying to make one.” She shook her head, turning the notebook to show him the empty list. “Do you think you can make a bucket list for another person?”

[acokyla]

ofsadieisms:

“Mhm, s’ a shame y’missed it, I mean it was an anger inducin’ game I ain’t gonna lie but still– an’ Luke at the beginnin’ was a must watch so you definitely gotta look it up. M’ tellin’ ya, I’ve seen him live a couple of times an’ let me tell ya I ain’t never been more jealous of a pair of jeans in my life.” Sadie laughed at her own joke, leaning back in her seat. “I ain’t sure actually, think some of ‘em might be too cold t’swim in but it’s worth lookin’ up ain’t it?”

“I’ll totally look it up. That was probably the best part of the game anyways--like that and Lady Gaga and then like what is the point of the rest of it?” She laughed as she shook her head, “Kidding. But I really don’t need to see Tom Brady winning like that.” She raised her eyebrow, “Oh wow, I can’t even imagine what it would be like to see him in person. Did you faint? I probably would have.” She laughed before nodding, “Or maybe that becomes part of the challenge--to swim in it even though it’s freezing.” She shook her head, “Kidding. Definitely something to research. Do you have a favorite item on your list?”

[acokyla]

omfgreer:

“Well bucket lists are meant to be for things you wanna do before you die right? Is there anything you gotta do before that?” He grinned at the other girl’s joke before shaking his head. “Nawh, nothing like that. It’s just really… intense stuff I guess? That’d be fun to do but, I dunno. I’m not the most adventurous.”

“Right. Hm--stuff I need to do before I die..” She let out a sigh as she shook her head, “This definitely should not be this hard.” She looked down at the paper. “Don’t worry. I’m not the most adventurous either. What’s your most intense thing on your list?”

[acokyla]

troyfields:

“Disney World!” He shook his head in annoyance, “Like I’d ever set foot in the trash place that is Disneyland. Nah, I do enough reckless things. Disney is for the pure-hearted child I once was who never got to go. I’m doing that shit right.”

“I didn’t know there was a hierarchy of Disney parks. Where do like Universal Studios and stuff fall on there? Oh--well hopefully you’ll get to go. Maybe like during Spring Break or something?” 

[acokyla]

umjesse:

“Sky diving, bungee jumping, NASCAR racing, I’ve got a lot of shit on there. Well what’s something you really wanna do? Like, gotta do before you die type of shit?”

“NASCAR racing? that just seems like it would be an adventure from the start. Do you want to be like an actual NASCAR driver or just drive it around the track once. Um--going to Disney would be pretty cool. Or is that too lame for a bucket list?”

[acokyla]

nebcallum:

“They have, but when I told them I had never played before they said never mind. I think they wanted a challenge or whatever. I haven’t left the house for two days because I have never even seen snow before and I’m scared.”

“Oh, that’s lame of them. Now you’ll become like the best in the house and they’ll be so shocked that you were able to learn so quickly. You don’t have to be afraid of the snow. I hadn’t seen snow until this year and it’s totally magical, cold, but magical.” 

[acokyla]

dcvisx:

“A bucket list? Damn, I used to have one in high school but I completely forgot what I put on there.” Davis chuckled, trying to think of something he’d love to do before he dies. “What’s on yours?”

“Do you know where it is? Those things usually get taped to the inside of a door or something, right?” She laughed before shaking her head, “Nothing---yet. I just I don’t know what to put on it.” She said as she took a deep breath. “Can you make a bucket list for like groups of people? Because I think you and I should have a list of things we want to do together before we die.” 

[acokyla]

samlangwood:

“A bucket list?” Sam raised his brow, never really having thought about creating one. “Not really. I always thought I still had lots of time to do stuff I’ve never done before.”

“Wait, are you only supposed to make one if you don’t have a lot of time left?” She asked as she raised her eyebrow in alarm.

[acokyla]

nebcallum:

“I didn’t have them when I was growing up, plus I lived in southern california so I spent all my time outside anyway. I don’t know if we have that game but if we do we can play it. I was just bored and it’s too cold outside, so I thought I’d give it a go.”

“Oh, that’s probably better for you anyways. I’m surprised all your other frat brothers haven’t tried to make you play with them before. We should totally play it, it’s way easier than this. Oh yeah, it’s way too cold to be outside. I swear I’m still cold and I’ve been inside for like two hours.” 

[acokyla]

ofsadieisms:

“Oh honestly, an’ he looks s’ damn good in jeans, too. I think I wanted t’ cry when he sang the National Anthem at the Super Bowl, too, felt like a proud mama– y’know a proud mama that would sleep with him in a heartbeat. Mhm, that’s the one m’ talkin’ ‘bout the pufferfish, I wanna try that, live life on the edge a lil bit, y’know?” Sadie tried to peek at the girl’s paper eyebrows raised. “Well y’gotta come up with your own ideas, hon– make it individual, just think ‘bout somethin’ you’ve always wanted t’do but that ain’t necessarily accomplishable right away y’know?”

“He sang it at the Super Bowl? I’m definitely going to have to google that now and watch it since I missed the game. But totally understandable--he’s a real looker.” She laughed before nodding, “That’s definitely one way to live on the edge. Just make you that you have like the medical attention in place if you need it---or the best chef to make it for you.” She nodded, “Alright--what about swim in all the oceans in the world? Can you even do that?”

[acokyla]

ftwdanny:

“Do it.”

“I don’t know. Like we’ve got plenty of skyscrapers around but getting to the top of one might be a little difficult. And what if it hits somebody? From that high up--it might hurt them.” 

[acokyla]

gwendolynraeheath:

“I know right? Who wouldn’t want to walk around as Belle or Cinderella! Very true, but it probably won’t happen to me. Thanks, so what are you gonna put on yours?”

“Probably crazy people. Or people that don’t like wearing dresses all year round. Now I feel like it’s my duty to make sure you end up in a parade. Hm--I’m not really sure. Can graduate go on it? Or is that too simple?”

[acokyla]

ftwdanny:

“Why not a rubber chicken?”

“Touche. I don’t know, it might be cool to drop like a rubber pig or something for the whole when pigs fly joke.”

litsix:

he didn’t question her movements, embracing her tightly as she rested her forehead against his chest. he pressed a soft kiss on the top of her head, simply holding her in his arms for a moment in a comfortable silence. “ ‘m glad i can be here for you. ” he mumbled, finally breaking the silence. of course, he meant that statement with all his heart. he didn’t think he was the most comforting person on the planet, but he’d walk to the ends of the earth to lift her spirits by the smallest degree. he paused for a moment, biting down on his bottom lip. “ how—– how was she ? ” he asked hesitantly. he wasn’t sure if she’d even want to talk about it, and he wasn’t trying to pressure her at all. if all she wanted to do was sit in silence, then he’d oblige without a second thought. he was normally so stressed about himself, and his work, and his life in general. but now—- now all of his focus was on her and her needs. he couldn’t possibly imagine what she must’ve been feeling, but he’d do his best to try and understand and help her cope. “ we don’t have to talk ‘bout it. ” he stated, almost as an afterthought—- she needed to know that; know that he’d stick by her through whatever she wanted to do. her darkest moments, he’d still be there. that’s what she’d done for him so many times before. 

God, Kyla was lucky to have him. Being able to just stand in his arms for those few minutes with nothing going on between them then silence was all that Kyla needed to get a small smile on her lips. She had forgotten that she could smile. But being there in his arms, she let a small smile brush over her lips as she stayed close to him. she took in his words, squeezing him a bit tighter as she said them. she heard his next question and she bit down on her lip as she tried to get her words together. she didn’t really know how to answer that question. she pulled away from him as she started walking towards his bed, grabbing his hand as she led him back with her. she sat down on his bed before letting him sit down next to her and she took both his hands in hers as she thought about her words. “um, no--” She shook her head, “we can talk about it.” she said as she looked up at him and gave him a weak smile. she brushed her hands through his hair, “you’re so cute. you know that--” she nodded before looking around, “you’ll never get how lucky I am to have you.” she told him as she took a deep breath. and she meant it. she was so lucky to have him, even if he thought he was nothing special, he was more than special to kyla. “my mom--” she swallowed as she looked down at her hands. “she’s, uh--stable for today. or she was when I left. the nurse said she’d call me later to let me know.” she nodded. “But this was probably the worst I’ve ever seen her.” she said as she closed her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes. “she’s so unhappy here sixer--” she looked up at the sky. “does it make me selfish to want her to stay here and alive when she’s so unhappy?” she asked as she wiped at her eyes. “And does it make me a bad person that sometimes I wish that the doctors would stop taking care of her so she could get what she wanted?” she whispered as she pulled her hands out from his, picking at the skin around her thumb nail.
