They had stayed together because neither of them cared much for the other. They

figured with no emotions involved they wouldn't get hurt. She was the most domineering

person on the planet and Hotstreak hated her for that. At least, he used to.

You spurn my natural emotions

You make me feel like dirt

And I'm hurt

Up until 3 years ago it had been pretty much an open ended relationship. Then they

decided out of pure spontaneity to get married. It was in a country where marriage at their

age would be legally binding.

And if I start a commotion

I run the risk of losing you

And that's worse

Truth be told he was probably just as mean to her as she was to him. Everyone knew how

much they argued, how they shouldn't be together. Even Static had tried to tell him how

unhealthy their relationship was.

I can't see much of a future

Unless we find out what's to blame

What a shame

"Darn that woman!" or "Man, I hate her." Were natural parts of his speech while talking

about her just as "Just shut up and obey me!" and "I'm not having you act like a loser

and making me look bad." Were hers when talking to him

and we won't be together much longer

unless we realize that we are the same

They did have some moments, small and barely significant. Like the way he could go

from hating her to being violently overprotective, or when someone who didn't know the

coldness of her character, only her pretty face, would ask her out and she'd tell them

something like, "That's sweet, but I don't know how my husband would feel about that."

As if in some way she actually cared.

You disturb my natural emotions

You make me feel like dirt

And I'm hurt

Hotstreak looked at the sleeping form of Dagger lying in her crib and gently picked up

their little daughter. She was the only thing they could agree on, the glue holding them

together. Whether Hotstreak would admit it or not he had grown very fond of the child.

He just had an unusual way of showing it.

And if I start a commotion

I run the risk of losing you

and that's worse

Someday Dagger would nervously ask him if he'd ever loved her mother? Then he would

have to honestly answer the last thing anyone expected.

"I don't know, maybe sometimes."

Ever fallen in love

In love with someone

It was like she gave him air to breath while sucking his blood dry. Being near her was

slowly killing him, giving him an incredible high. In their disturbing relationship she was

twisting everything he was and he didn't care.

Ever fallen in love

In love with someone

You shouldn't've fallen in love with.
