[guylining]

do you know anyone who's looking?

[ipswichson]

honestly? i've kind of realized while being in here that i haven't really gotten to know anyone new.
i guess i should get on that.

[guylining]

i met someone new

he's not a dominant but i do think you would like him. his name's jaskier
he's a singer
he came to visit me, he's really kind

[ipswichson]

oh! i did meet him.
he came to see me too. wanted to help me get through it all.
you're right. he is.

i was having visions of your arm being ripped off and...

[ And he's suddenly remembering something else. ]

nate, i want to ask you a question but i understand if you don't want to answer this.
do you remember me talking to you about my crush? on that guy that saved me from the gangs?

[guylining]

[ Oh.


Oh. He'd actually forgotten about that. Everything that happened in the immediate aftermath of the portals appearing is a blur to him.

But now that Caleb says it... ]

i remember

[ipswichson]

i saw things when we were fighting monsters. like he was there.
his magic.
weird, huh?

[guylining]

no, it actually makes quite a lot of sense

i should have told you. i just sort of liked being with you when you didn't know, it was exciting.

[ipswichson]

i never suspected. just found myself crushing on him.
it was exciting and to me its kind of amazing.
i was falling for him. i still am, i guess.

i'm sorry if this ruined that for you.

[guylining]

don't be ridiculous
i shouldn't have kept it going for so long.

i'm a caped crusader.
surprise.

[ipswichson]

you're allowed to have secrets, you know.

everything else you do and you're a hero too.

[guylining]

i started during the gang war
fighting back, helping people, it made me feel like i had purpose again
i hadn't felt that way since before i died
it felt good.

[ipswichson]

i'm glad you did.
you deserve to feel that way nate

i wonder if you know how much you've changed my life

[guylining]

me, or warlock?

[ipswichson]

i meant you. there's so much you've done for me.

though

warlock helped me remember that i can care about others, and crush on others, and that I shouldn't let loss and pain keep me from that.

[guylining]

warlock taught you that, did he?

[ipswichson]

He's the first new person I've been into in a while now. It's just really been you and Eliot for a while.

Not intentionally. I just realized it.

[guylining]

i'm sorry. that he wasn't really new, i mean.

[ipswichson]

Why are you sorry? I fell for you twice. I'm not sorry for that.

[guylining]

no, well nor am i.

i mean i'm sorry for tricking you.

[ipswichson]

Don't be. There's no point to a secret identity if you tell everyone.

[guylining]

well, you know now.

you were impressive. when we fought together, i mean. you were really good.

[ipswichson]

And I will keep it a secret too. Not that I think you doubt that but you have my word.

Thank you. I mean, I had to show off, right?

[guylining]

you did well. actually we did well, together.

i should've told you that night.

[ipswichson]

That's how I saw it. We did well together.

Nate, it's okay. I'm not upset you didn't. The black magic though, it gave it away.
It also made things clearer for me in that moment when I needed things to be clear.

[guylining]

my stupid purple flare would've given me away easily, i had to disguise it

i just thought i'd play into the shadow theme

probably a bit dramatic tbh. but at least it meant it couldn't be traced back to me.
