-- never gave a single damn about me.

[ it's ugly. fights with lil always are, charade marriages or not -- she's a passionate woman, and more often than not, an angry one. her emotions run strong. there was always a chance that, despite everything -- the turbulence, their arguments, the fact that it would never work for real -- she'd get too invested in what was supposed to pretend.

well, she wasn't going to play pretend anymore. she's making that clear. ]

I got needs too! [ she's making a mess of the place. there's already a broken lamp. ] I ain't gonna do this anymore, not like this.

[ropedin]

[ Dodging thrown things was somewhat the name of it all. Lil may be passionate, but HJ just wasn't the sort, or rather, he wasn't when he wasn't interested. The whole thing was a setup, mostly for his own benefit, to keep the questions from being raised.

After all, he didn't deal with the prospect of being outed very well. ]

And? You can just leave. I don't care.

[glassbox]

I know.

[ her words chase hot and fast on the tail of his, almost overlapping them with how quickly she snaps back. ]

I know y'don't fuckin' care.

[ but she does, and it's a goddamn lonely feeling, so strong these days she thinks she could choke on it. she's given up so much to live this charade, to protect them because it some stupid, maybe twisted way, it mattered to her to do it.

she doesn't mean what she says next. it's the anger talking, the hurt. ]

Maybe I don't care anymore either. Maybe I don't wanna keep your goddamn stupid secret anymore.

[ropedin]

[ It doesn't matter that she's talking out of anger and hurt. He doesn't care right about now. He doesn't care that she's mad, he cares that she's threatening him, and by proxy, everything about him.

There are some secrets he will not abide by getting out. This secret is one he will not allow for.

He lashes out, looming over her with the power and weight that made him a formidable vigilante. ]

You will not tell anyone.

[glassbox]

[ but this is lil, and she's either stubbornly stupid or stupidly stubborn -- most days, it's hard to tell -- and she's never known how to just stop when she's taken something too far.

but she does tense -- flinches even, because she remembers vividly what it felt like to feel pure, unfiltered pain after he took her powers from her, but even that doesn't stop her goddamn big mouth: ]

Or what?

[ropedin]

[ After the first time that they fought to prove himself, Hooded Justice hasn't hit her. He doesn't normally hit women, and with how much he enjoys it, it shouldn't be surprising that he doesn't enjoy hitting Lil.

He does use his physical presence to intimidate, though. ]

Or I will make certain you remember what happens to people who let things like that out.

[glassbox]

Fuck you. Y'don't scare me. And I ain't impressed with threats.

[ as if to make a point of it, she turns her back on him, folding her arms stubbornly over her chest. it's for show, maybe -- like it is half the time with lil and her tantrums. ]

Y'know how much goddamn say y'have in what I do?

None.

[ropedin]

I do when it's my livelihood involved.

[ He didn't care how much the world had changed. Hooded Justice believed he would still be in trouble, no matter how it got out. He didn't need that getting out, and he didn't need anyone to know about it. There were things that weren't appropriate for men like him. With a reputation like his. ]

You know what I can do. I won't hesitate.

[glassbox]

I dare you.

[ she whirls around, jabbing an accusing index finger at him, eyes wild and angry. ]

I dare you, y'goddamn bastard. I ain't Nelly. I don't owe you a goddamn thing, and I don't got any need t'please you.
