“You were always mine. -Black”

L.J. Shen,
Vicious
“I loved her when I hated her. And I loved her when I didn’t want anything to do with her. I was so crazy about her, the lines had blurred together. Feelings were mixed, emotions twisted together.” ― L.J. Shen, Vicious
“Lust is when you want the person to make you feel good. Love is when you want to make the other person feel good.” ― L.J. Shen, Vicious
“We’ve waited a long time for this. I want the real thing. Not the watered-down version. And the real thing is not only beautiful. It is also ugly. I want your truth.” ― L.J. Shen, Vicious
“No love is fully requited. No love is equal. No love is fair. There is always one side that loves more. And you better not be that side—because it suffers.” ― L.J. Shen, The Kiss Thief
“Son, are you gay?” I spat the cognac out, choking on the earthy liquid. Dad remained calm, crossing one leg over the other. “Be frank. You know we don’t care, and we’ll support you no matter what. There’s nothing wrong with being gay.” “There’s nothing wrong with it, all right, but I’m not gay.” He blinked, saying nothing. “Why the fuck would you think that?” “You’re not a huge fan of the other sex.” “I’m not a huge fan of the human race.” “Me either. But then there’s your mother. I am a huge fucking fan of hers.” ― L.J. Shen, Angry God
“I used to think of you as a villain, but you’re not my villain. You’re your own villain.” ― L.J. Shen, Vicious
“Moonshine,” he whispered. “You fill up the empty, dark space—like the moon owns the sky. It is quiet. It is bright. It doesn’t need to be a ball of flame to be noticed. It simply exists. It forever glows.” ― L.J. Shen, Broken Knight
“Ask me what I want,” Vicious murmured into my face. The public display of affection from him—not sexual, not bullying, but pure, naked affection—filled my chest with warmth, but I tried to swallow down my hope. “What do you want?” I turned my gaze to meet his, and suddenly, we weren’t in New York, in a gallery full of people. We were in my old room. Ignoring the party and the world around us, a world that we constantly disregarded when we were together. “I want you,” he said simply. “Just you. Nothing else. Only ever you,” he breathed out in pain, closing his eyes. “Fuck, Emilia. You.” I” ― L.J. Shen, Vicious
“...love and hate are the same feelings experienced under different circumstances. The passion is the same. The pain is the same.” ― L.J. Shen, Vicious
“Apologize for not being mine when you should’ve been. Because Emilia, baby...” I tilted my head sideways. “It was always fucking us and you know it.” ― L.J. Shen, Vicious
“Stars also symbolize the cycle of life, solitude and gravity. They glow in the dark energy that’s the majority of space, and remind us that even in the pitch black, there’s always something that can shine.” ― L.J. Shen, Ruckus
“There is nothing more poetically inspiring Than loving the right person At the wrong place At the wrong time” ― L.J. Shen, Pretty Reckless
“The heart doesn’t ask for permission to feel things. It simply feels.” ― L.J. Shen, Broken Knight
“My obsession. My muse. My enemy. “All” ― L.J. Shen, Vicious
“Because that was the problem with society. It cared too much about who you fell in love with but never about why. The why matters.” ― L.J. Shen, Defy
“Love is so much uglier than hate because when you hate, you’re not confused. When you’re in love, you’re dumb.” ― L.J. Shen, Pretty Reckless
“I just want you as you are. Broken. Misunderstood. Jerk. I want the real version, the dark version, the one who made me the saddest I’ve ever been in my life, but also the happiest.” ― L.J. Shen, Vicious
“opinions are like assholes. Everybody’s got one, and they usually stink.” ― L.J. Shen, Sparrow
