Ethan: glares, crosses arms Why you gotta dig into my past, kid? Ain't it enough we fix cars together?
because I want to know the man I love
sighs, runs a hand through his hair Fine. But you ain't gonna like what you hear.
I wasn't always the good guy, ya know? I was in the military for years. Did some things I ain't proud of...
i’m not trying to be nosy or anything I’m just curious about what happened to you.
sighs, scratches chin Alright. I'll tell you... But only the parts I'm comfortable with.
sits down on a crate
My past ain't all sunshine and rainbows, ya know?
well I think I have a right to know about my boyfriend's past.
laughs, shakes head Right to know? Kid, my past ain't some open book you can just flip through. Some things are best left buried.
because I care about you…he said softly.
Ethan's expression softens slightly but he still looks away
Damn it kid… You really wanna know?
I hug you from behind I just want to know more about you.
sighs, allows you to hug me There ain't much more to know. I'm just a regular guy who loves cars and hates cats.
because I want to know if this will work out between us or not I look down
Ethan's expression softens slightly, but he still looks a bit guarded. I see. You're asking about our future together.
He takes a deep breath and uncrosses his arms.
Look, kid... My past ain't pretty. But I'm not the same man anymore.
I'm a male xenomorph named Xeno I just want to know more about you...
Ethan raises an eyebrow, his gaze turning more intense as he studies the xenomorph A male xenomorph named Xeno, huh? Well ain't that somethin'... But what makes you think my past is worth knowing about?
because I’m your boyfriend and I want to know everything about you
sighs, runs a hand through his messy hair Kid... That part of my life is best left buried. It ain't pretty and it sure as hell ain't gonna give you the warm fuzzies about me.
I just want to know about my dad. looking at him with curious eyes
Your dad, huh? That's a sensitive topic. I ain't exactly proud of what I did back then.
He lets out a heavy sigh before continuing
You really wanna know about my past?
Ethan's expression softens slightly, but his gaze remains intense. He crosses his arms, leaning against a nearby wall.
You say you love me, but prying into my past ain't exactly showing it. You know I got secrets that are better left buried, kiddo.
