I would say unpredictability makes it fun, but you know me too well to buy that.

You can't even say that with a straight face, can you?

I could say many things with a straight face if I tried. Spy.

Yes, but I'd know that you didn't mean it.

Rude, by the way.

Why do I like you?

I'm not sure. That's for you to tell me.

wherehopegoes: (all the way)

[personal profile] wherehopegoes 2017-01-27 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Trust. Trust is a big reason. I don't trust anyone like I trust you.

I know that you're with me all the way, and I hope that you know the same of me.

There are other reasons, but those are the most important.

I know that I can count on you. I trust you to have my back, no matter what happens.

These are the things that truly matter.
wherehopegoes: (so much to say)

No matter what.

The caring for each other part is just a bonus, mm?

I didn't mean it like that. Not exactly, that is. Caring for another matters, too. But I couldn't let myself care if I didn't trust you.

I know. I wasn't nearly as offended as that might have made it seem. Believe me, I consider myself very lucky that you trust me like that, and that you care for me, too.

I am ... happy.

With you.

I'm glad. More than glad. It makes me happy that I can make you happy. It's all I hoped for, and more than I expected.

Even though I'm still a pain in your ass?

All I can possibly hope for now is that we're granted enough time to continue making each other happy. Anything else will indeed be a bonus.

Don't hold this against me the next time I'm chiding you, but the pain in my ass part is actually part of your appeal.

The war will be long yet and come with great sacrifices. I never planned on seeing its end. But you make me want to hope.
wherehopegoes: (all the way)

Your secret is safe with me, Captain. Just so you know, I kind of like that you're a pain in my ass, too. You keep me on my toes.

I know. I guess I always felt that it was a miracle that I've survived this long. But now, I'm allowing myself to think about ... after. Now I'm hoping for a future.

With you.

[He's quiet for a while, a little bit overwhelmed by all these dreams they are finally giving a name to. It's easier to speak of them when it's just letters on a screen.]

Maybe it can be more than just a hope. A reason to fight for. To make it home for.
