if we'd been a littler braver, and a little smarter? yes.

but knowing it isn't just wasted time we'll never get back helps.

[ Knowing that she didn't just die before they all took that chance, and they'll have at least some time on Krakoa to make up for all the bullshit. ]

it never even occurred to me that i could have both of you.

maybe because

well, part of it's just that i'd never seen a relationship like that.

part of it, though, is that nothing has ever come without a cost

[snikthatch]

it's always been worth it to me

I know you'll argue with this, but I'm saying it anyway:

[snikthatch]

if anyone catches us you can say I'm helping you study for the midterms
