you were guarded at first. a loner you are after all, untrusting and wary of strangers. especially ones as peculiar as him. but a night in the woods changed that for you, showed you that perhaps he is not one to suspect. mysterious as he is, he seems kind.
you definitely butt heads at first, with you confused as to why the prickliness was warranted, but he soon revealed his secrets. a harbored guilt and a complex he carries on his shoulders. you're not one to pry, but you understand now— and it seems mutual, too.
he's sweet. too sweet. too genuine. too inviting. too warm. too easy to trust, too easy to be around. all these things make you want to open up all your secrets and let the ugliness spill, but you can't— you refuse. opening up such a can of worms is a dangerous game to play, you know.
after all, someone like jonah could never accept you for what you really are— flawed, angry, violent, a monster. someone deserving of hatred.
at least, that's what you tell yourself.
he's sweet. hiding something, sure. but everyone's got their secrets. you don't want to pry, but something makes you feel like you are kindred spirits.
a part of you wishes to spill it all— have someone there to finally understand the impossible to explain. but he dodges your eyes, and you've never been one to be so nosy you'd force your way in.
but god, you want him to talk to you.
