Keep it secret. Keep it safe.


SECRET relationship;


The fact that you're in a relationship with this person isn't public knowledge. Actually, no one knows about it except for the people involved. Maybe you guys are just private like that; on the other hand, it may be a necessity to keep things a secret from others. Maybe you're both team mates, and others on the team would give you grief, or you're not suppose to be dating, or you're not the type to usually date and you're only testing the waters. Perhaps it's the combination of you two, possibly an odd couple, that would bring some controversy or some teasing. Or, you know, you could not want to deal with friends and relatives being busybodies. Your reasons are your own.

Are you content with stealing moments to be together as a couple? Do you want to make your relationship known and the fact that you can't drives you batty? Remember, there are lots of benefits to dating in secret. You can be yourselves completely, away from prying eyes, and get to know each other better as potential longterm romantic partners. In a way, it's ideal.

...still, do you ever wish you could scream from the rooftops how much you care for your significant other?

It was so good to see him smiling. Well, almost smiling. Considering the hell he’d gone through, Karen considered making him smile to be quite an accomplishment. She wanted to make him happy, too. To bring some light to the dark corner of his world. Frank Castle had done many terrible things, but he deserved some happiness.

And what of Karen’s happiness? She liked to think that she deserved it, too, and she was finding that with every night she spent with Frank she grew a little happier. It was slow progress, but she’d come miles from the mess she’d been since she’d killed Wesley. She was even starting to push that memory towards being forgotten. Oh, it would never be completely forgotten, but maybe she wouldn’t think about it quite as much. Maybe it wouldn’t weigh on her mind and her conscience and torture her so much.

She walks with him, holding his hand like they’re a completely normal couple. Like the couple she wishes they could be. It only bothers her a little bit that they can’t do things like this in the daytime in crowds of passersby. Karen has grown used to their secretive lifestyle and it’s starting to feel more normal with every secret meeting.

“He is decent.” She says it with emphasis to drive the point home, but smiles up at Frank so he knows she’s not mad at him in the slightest.

“Someone’ll probably be walking me out to my car in the future, anyway.” She looks away, about to drop a bomb in the most casual of ways as if that’ll lessen Frank’s reaction. “I think I’m about to make a lot of powerful people mad.”
