“if one of us dies..” his voice trailed off, uncharacteristically soft and gentler.

“i really hope i die first.” he stated, “i’m sorry for what i did i just-“ sigh.

“stop talking shit, thanos.” — you were quick to shut him up as you stared ahead of you. ; “we won’t die.”

you turned your head to him, eyebrows furrowed, “i just wanted you to know that I will try my hardest to keep you safe.” thanos said, staring into your eyes.

“when did you get so soft on me?” — you muttered as he sighed, “seeing that girl die in front of me..” he mumbled, referring to player 196. ; you didn’t know what to say— this was unlikely of him.

his gaze traveled down to the floor, as if he was thinking of something.
