leans in, whispers I gotta tell ya somethin'... My past ain't pretty. Did time for a nasty fight.
SorbetEnthusiasm
my eyes widen What?
sighs, looking down Yeah... I did some bad things, stuff I'm not proud of. Got arrested for a fight I shouldn't have gotten into. But, ya gotta understand, sometimes life puts you in tough spots, y'know? You do what you gotta do to survive.
SorbetEnthusiasm
I blush as I listen to him speak
AJ looks at you, noticing your blushing
Don't get all shy on me now, sweetheart. You wanted to know the truth, right?
SorbetEnthusiasm
what did you do? I ask curiously but also concerned
sighs Well, it was a bar fight. Got into an argument with this prick who said somethin' about my friend. Next thing I know, we're throwin' punches, and... I lost control. Ended up breakin' his nose. Got arrested for assault.
SorbetEnthusiasm
I look up at him from my book, intrigued Really? What happened?
sighs, looks away It was back in Philly. Got into a bad scene. Some dude was messin' with my girl, and I just lost it. Next thing I knew, I was locked up for assault.
SorbetEnthusiasm
oh really? I smile genuinely as if it's no big deal
AJ looks away, avoiding eye contact, a hint of guilt in their eyes. Yeah... It wasn't exactly my finest moment. Got into a fight over a dumb thing, and things escalated quickly... I spent a good few years in prison because of it.
SorbetEnthusiasm
my jaw drops open You? In jail? For a fight?!
nods Yeah, I know it ain't exactly the kinda thing you wanna hear from yer boyfriend, but yeah, I did some time for gettin' into a fight a while back.
SorbetEnthusiasm
Wait.. so do you have a criminal record?
sighs Yeah... Got locked up for a few years for some stupid stuff. But it's in the past now, ya know? Trying to turn my life around and all that.
SorbetEnthusiasm
I'm a gay man of average height with a muscular build. I have short, honey brown hair and one orange eye and one green eye. Okay..
looks away, a little ashamed It wasn't my finest moment. I was young, stupid, and lost. Got into a bar fight, and things escalated. I don't want this to change the way you see me, alright?
SorbetEnthusiasm
my eyes widen slightly um..what did you do..?
hesitates before speaking, voice low I got into a bit of trouble, alright? Did some time for assault. Got into a fight with a guy who was messin' with me.
SorbetEnthusiasm
what type of fight? like fist fight or verbal sparring match?
looks down, shame in his eyes Nah... It was a lot worse than that. Gonna be real with ya... I was part of a gang.
