Diclaimer: Don't own, don't sue.
I thought, at first, that he was an ice prince. Polite, sure, but cold. I never expected him to get angry or yell at me.
I got mad at him. So sue me. I didn't want to be wrong about him, and it irked me that he only got angry -- really, righteously angry -- at me. Just me.
But then he found himself again, closed his face, and went back to cleaning up the mess I'd made. And that stung. I felt like I'd done something wrong, something I couldn't take back, something I couldn't laugh off.
I wish I understood.

Diclaimer: Don't own, don't sue.
It's hard, lying to myself. Telling myself that it's okay to be president, be happy, be his friend.
It's much easier to sink back into the cold, brutal truth. I should step down, listen to my mother, be isolated.
He doesn't give me that comfort. Without meaning to, he draws out my most hated traits. With him, I'm childish and show emotion. But then he doesn't mind, and I hate that part of myself just a little less.
He's the sort of person that shines, and I feel like I'll be drowned in his glow.
Maybe that's what I want.
