that's really up to you

back in the gang war, i started fighting groups of those idiots in the down. i kept doing it, after, disguised so they wouldn't know my face or name

i learned how to fight after i died, it made me feel safer. and it felt focusing, i suppose

and helping people who got in trouble with the gangs, that felt good. so i never stopped. and i kept it mostly secret, but now i think the people closest to me ought to know about it, so. i'm telling you.

[extent]

oh shit, a secret identity secret

disguised like, in costume? like a superhero or some shit?

[guylining]

yeah, you could say that

there's a costume
and i use the name warlock

[extent]

well
i'm not going to lie, i still don't really get the codename thing

but i don't think it's a bad thing to protect people, or to do something that makes you feel good in a place like this, so it's pretty admirable.
are you safe? as safe as you can be

[guylining]

yes, i promise

no one ever sees my face and the clothes i wear are charmed for protection
and the codename thing means they never hear my real name, so they don't come after me the rest of the time

my trainer is the very best, too.

[extent]

ok but in every superhero movie ive seen (like 3) the bad guys always figure it out + kidnap the gf whos always clueless

then its a good secret. might even feel a little safer walking the streets, knowing theyre in the best hands
can we spiderman kiss?

[guylining]

well i can't actually dangle from webbing



but yeah, maybe

[extent]

i'm sure u can get creative w it and figure something out

surprise me some time, itll be cute

[guylining]

okay

you're cute.

[extent]

stop, youll make me blush

i like love you a whole lot, just fyi

[guylining]

yeah? like how much

like on a scale of 1-100

[extent]

real talk?
i dont even know how to put a number on it
every time i think im at 100 you do something else that and i love you more

[guylining]

well
i sure hope that never changes because i love you too

that means you're not angry with me for vigilante secrets?

[extent]

i'd be angry if i asked you about it and you lied, i guess, but i'm not angry that you have secrets. you're allowed to keep parts of yourself for you. i'd never hold that against you.

i'm happy you told me, though.

[guylining]

i don't really want to have secrets from you

that's why i told you.

everything that's happened lately, it's put into very stark contrast who's really on my side and who isn't

and i just thought
there's really no need to hide anything from you. even if you don't like whatever it is, you're still gonna. i dunno. want me, love me. all of that.

[extent]

its okay if you do have them, though.
like i want you to share stuff with me, because i want you to know you can. you never have to keep anything from me just because youre worried about how i'll take it or what i might think of you.

but you dont have to justify if theres something you can't tell me, or won't tell me, or won't tell me yet. that's okay too

this isnt like, a betrayal. its just like, evolution or whatever. i'm not ever going to be angry with you if you just haven't told me something yet. i dont love you any less because you didnt tell me before today, i dont love you more because you told me. i just love you more because there's a whole new part of you that i get to love, too.
