In Fair Verona // Modern Romeo and Juliet // Private RP - CLOSED

MARINA: you promise?

MERCUTIO: Swear it on my phone and everything.

MARINA: alright….. is it bad that it hurt to admit that?

MERCUTIO: Its perfectly normal for it to hurt to admit that. We’re int his together now. If anyone bothers you let me know. I’ll fuck them up if you haven’t already.

MARINA: i didnt think you have a shit

*gave

MERCUTIO: I told you. We’re in this together now. Fuck alcohol, sex, and sleazy guys.

I shifted onto my side and curled into a tight ball, surprised to find that my erratic heartbeat had calmed. Cool air slipped down my throat, bringing a rush of dizzy relief.

MARINA: please, let’s not fuck sleazy guys. but yeah. thanks, ig

MERCUTIO: Gross. You know what I meant.

(LOL IM DYING THIS IS SO TOUCHING)

MARINA: yeah. Did you charge your phone in time?

MERCUTIO: I did. Thanks by the way.

MARINA: np. it's my fault it was uncharged, anyways

MERCUTIO: I forgive you for dishonouring me.

MARINA: great. also, if anyone else asks, this conversation never happened

MERCUTIO: That goes without saying. You’d ruin my reputation. Also we’d probably die

MARINA: oof… how hard do you think it would be for me to run away and change my identity?

MERCUTIO: Depends on where you went.

MARINA: idk. America. Canada. far away.

MERCUTIO: I think once you got there, you’d be alright for awhile at least. Getting there would be the hard part.

MARINA: i wouldn't leave without the people I care about, though… so I can't really escape unless i die

MERCUTIO: Then why did you ask?

MARINA: it's nearly 2:30, lmao, leave me and my nonsensical train of thought alone. the rails are broken at this time of night

MERCUTIO: Whose turn was it to ask again anyways?

MARINA: mine, I think. truth or dare?

MERCUTIO: Truth, Pazza.

MARINA: do you think Romeo should have a chance to be with Juliet?

MERCUTIO: I think that if they both know the risks and both actually like each other, then yes. I don’t really understand love, but if Romeo can find it, I’ll be happy for him in the end.

MARINA: that makes sense. I'm just worried for juliet (as usual). she'd be in deep shit for even talking to a Montague on relatively friendly terms. i don't think she likes Romeo, tho. maybe.

MERCUTIO: I guess we have to trust them to handle themselves. I’m just trying to survive and praying my family doesn’t force me to marry off.
