Following my AUs and Prompts List from a few months back, here is a compilation of my favorite sentence starters for all your writing needs.
Because most of them aren’t mine, credits are at the end.

TEXTS
[text]: What do you want now? [text]: Do you want to bet on that? [text]: Guess who just got back in town. [text]: So I might be in a hospital right now… [text]: We can’t keep doing this anymore!

❝ i dunno man. i don’t usually…do that sorta thing. ❞ perhaps that came off as roman being too scared. though it was far from the truth. roman never liked ‘sparring’ or working out with someone else. he enjoys being on his own ———— one vs all and all that.. and no one ever really got close to him willingly. unless it was dean or his cousins. even seth on occasion. not only that, but roman had no real experience in the field of mma.
❝ wouldn’t really be fair, y’know ? i have basically no experience. ❞ time to flip the tables.
❝ but if you ever wanna step inside the squared circle then let me know. ❞ and then he gives layne the most charming smirk he can conjure up.
the smile faltered some when roman turned him down, though he knew it was for the best when the man said he didn’t have much experience. layne wasn’t sure what a wrestler’s regimen was and what they knew, so he shouldn’t have assumed it would be similar to his own. yet even he went above what some of the other fighters he trained with did. getting roman alone in the cage would not end well. ❝ if you ever change your mind, i’d be glad to show you some things. doesn’t have to be in the cage, but maybe something. ❞ he shouldn’t have gotten so enthusiastic. the smirk that appeared on the man’s lips made a similar one tug at his own, one of his brows quirking in amusement. ❝ i just might. i’m sure it’d prove to be some fun. ❞
although he did have a degree in business, layne was correct. ❝ i’m definitely not. but that’s always a back-up plan. i’m actually a wrestler. ❞ simple enough answer. but roman fights to keep his face from scrunching up at that new information. mma fighters didn’t take kindly to roman’s kind. especially those in his particular workplace. but layne didn’t seem like he thought the same way the others did.
❝ hope that don’t scare ya off. ❞
❝ really? ❞ their careers were both on a similar wavelength yet completely different, something he had heard conversations about with some of the other fighters. he’d watched a match one time and found it not to his taste, but he’d never actually met a wrestler before. to each their own and roman seemed nice enough. but if he fought in a ring with a body like that, then he must have some goodskill. the grin broadened as he beamed and shook his head. ❝ not at all. you’ve just given me permission to ask if you wanna spar some time. i wanna see what you’ve got. ❞
the touch, though surprising, makes roman smile in amusement. no one had ever been brave enough — or crazy enough for that matter — to reach out and just…touch him. roman knew he was intimidating to a degree. he shakes his head, arm lowering back to his side.
❝ no worries, man. s’all good. i do that too. ❞ like the time i speared my boss. and his wife. he laughs faintly at the reminder.
❝ so, uh…you seem like you’re into some kinda sport. am i right ? ❞
the smile slipped from apologetic to a grin as the man brushed off toe touch, glad he hadn’t done something wrong and already screwed up the conversation. most people he talked to belonged to the same gym and trained with him, already used to how handson layne was capable of getting. he didn’t want to chase away someone new. at the assumption, he laughed and nodded his head. ❝ absolutely. i’m an mma fighter, featherweight class. what about you? you don’t seem like you’d be an average businessman. ❞
“ You kissing me… surely that should me I SUCCEEDED, you’re not even as drunk as me! But fine… so… I’m Lambert, what’s your name handsome and what’s your poison? “
It took everything he had not to outright laugh when Lambert started talking, having to cover his mouth with his hand and clear his throat before he could even think about responding.
“ Well, I’m Layne – ”god, it was really hard not to laugh “ – and my poison is whiskey. Might need quite a bit to catch up to you, though. ”
layne certainly had one hell of a grip.
❝ mine ? it’s a cultural thing. ❞ his culture and his heritage were everything to him, as evident by the multitude of patterns running along the length of his arm and extending onto his chest. he holds out his arm, subconsciously being sure to keep his forearm facing downwards. ❝ it’s…well, it’s like my armor. ❞ though it ran a bit deeper than that. it was an armor, a sign that he was a protector of someone very important to him. but it also covered up a mistake he made a long, long time ago. he doesn’t have the same smile layne did when talking about his tattoos. roman’s expression was that of intensity and almost anger with a hint of love. very, very complex.
the way roman explained it piqued layne’s curiosity, the urge to ask more about it rising up, though only to be pushed aside when he saw the amalgamation of emotions flash across the man’s features. they had only just met, so it would be best if he left those personal matters untouched. though he wasn’t able to stop himself as roman lifted his arm up, reaching out and brushing his fingers along the design as if entranced. he always held a deep appreciation for well made art and designs. ❝ it’s amazing. ❞ his hand jerked back a little after he realized what he’d done, the smile faltering to a more apologetic look. ❝ sorry. sometimes i act without thinking. ❞
