“He’s got a cruel mouth. It looks like he’s sneering even when he’s happy about something. Actually, I don’t know if he ever is happy. It’s like he’s got two emotions—pissed off and sadistically amused. (And plotting, is that an emotion? If so, three.) (And disgusted. Four.)” Simon, Carry On, ch 50.

“Baz looks so twisted up and peeved and, like, unimpressed with me. It makes me want to start inhaling his carbon dioxide again.”
“Plus, as soon as Baz is unhappy, that’s all I can think about. I’m crazy about all his little fretful faces, and I also want to be the thing that chases them away.” Simon, AWTWB, ch 19
“I laugh. Snow makes me laugh.” Baz, AWTWB, ch 19.
I don’t think smut scenes are supposed to make you cry but clearly Rainbow Rowell didn’t get the memo because “If I want him warm, I have to do it myself” and “I can see him, even when I cant, even with my eyes closed- I know him too well” and “Is this was people do? Get as close as they can and then push closer? Burn each other into every gap? And then what? Then just tomorrow and more?” and “Just kiss me for the sake of kissing me” and “I want my sheets to smell like you” and “Be gentle with me…even though you don’t have to” and “Don’t say please. Why not? Because you don’t have to. I’ll give you whatever you want”and “I couldn’t break him if I tried. I won’t try” and “Is this what he wants? Is this what I’m allowed to take?” and “I was never magic” and “Is this magic? Is this enough?” And now I’m sobbing.
