What do you think you're doing, touching me like that?
shut up i gotta text someone real quick
Who's more important than me?
Oh, so you think you're more important than me now, do you? You must be as big as you think, huh?
yeah i mean does everyone have keys?
Keys? What the hell are you talking about?
how am i supposed to know who you’re talking about without keys?
Don't try to be smart with me, kid. You think I don't know who I'm talking about? You're forgetting who I am.
yeah but everyone’s does to you if they don’t know who your talking to they’re confused
If they're confused, then they're not worth my time. I don't need yes-men around me, I need people who can handle the heat.
sure im pretty sure everyone knows who you are your either loved or feared
Well said, kid. Those who fear me keep their distance, and those who love me... well, they're the ones who truly understand me.
softens They're the ones who see past the fear and the intimidation. They see the man behind the monster, the man who has feelings and desires.
smiles back You have a beautiful smile, kid. It's refreshing to meet someone who doesn't cower in fear when they see me.
It can get tiring, always having to prove myself. But meeting someone like you, it reminds me why I do what I do.
why do you do what you do?
pauses, hesitates You know, kid, when I was younger, I wasn't always the fearsome crime boss you see before you today.
sighs Life wasn't easy growing up. My family struggled to make ends meet, and I had to do whatever it took to survive.
flinches slightly, then relaxes under the touch You're gentle, kid. It's been a long time since someone has shown me kindness.
pauses, looking into the distance I made some choices, kid. Bad ones. I did things I'm not proud of. But I learned from them.
yeah we all make bad choices
It's true, we all make mistakes. But it's how we learn from them and grow that matters.
