@AerialAcing where do you draw the line between too many chances and absolving someone who doesn’t deserve it? sometimes i feel like i don’t. maybe i’m just kicking myself because i’m already down. i don’t know.

yeah, i keep trying to tell myself that. i should’ve been ready for it.

[𝙰𝙳𝙰𝙼. @risesabove]

@AerialAcing i wish i could find the grace for myself that you seem to find for me. how do you manage to do that?

after what you pulled? no one should question what you’re capable of ever again. proud of you.

[𝙰𝙳𝙰𝙼. @risesabove]

@AerialAcing and… aj?

i love you too.

[𝙰𝙳𝙰𝙼. @risesabove]

@AerialAcing i’m sorry that i let it get this far out of control. i’m sorry that it— that i couldn’t stop them on my own. i wanted to be strong enough so it never had to touch you again.

you’re a better man than you’ve ever given yourself credit for. it’d be an honor to fight by your side.

[𝙰𝙳𝙰𝙼. @risesabove]

@AerialAcing after everything, aj? even now?

you don’t owe me anything. you don’t owe it to me to keep getting involved. you and the boys should walk away.

[𝙰𝙳𝙰𝙼. @risesabove]

@AerialAcing i know. i know, and i’m sorry for that, too. loving me has given you nothing but trouble.

but you’re the key. you always have been.

it ends with you. no matter what you decide. no matter who you throw your loyalty to. it started with you, and it ends with you.

[𝙰𝙳𝙰𝙼. @risesabove]

@AerialAcing you should. it would be easier that way and i don’t think anyone would blame you if you did.

i wouldn’t. i’ve given you every reason to hate me.

it was supposed to be over, between you and me. but here we are once again.

it always comes back to you, aj.

[𝙰𝙳𝙰𝙼. @risesabove]

@AerialAcing listen to me, aj. this— it isn’t on you. /none/ of this is on you.

i could’ve said the words before it ever got that far. i could’ve given up. that was my fault, not yours. i keep getting people hurt.

my stubborn pride. my creation. my monster.

it started with you. i’m sorry.

[𝙰𝙳𝙰𝙼. @risesabove]

@AerialAcing don’t listen to anything that comes out of his mouth. okay?

[𝙰𝙳𝙰𝙼. @risesabove]

@AerialAcing for what it’s worth, his won’t be for much longer.

… aj? i’m sorry. for all of it.

[𝙰𝙳𝙰𝙼. @risesabove]

@AerialAcing i took a wrong turn somewhere around winnipeg.

but your neck’s alright, yeah?

[𝙰𝙳𝙰𝙼. @risesabove]

@AerialAcing some might call that karma. you of all people should. aj—

you can handle yourself. i know you can. you’re as mean as they come sometimes. just… be careful. it’s beyond out of control.

if anything happened to you because of this monster i created… promise me, okay?

[𝙰𝙳𝙰𝙼. @risesabove]

@AerialAcing that’s about the least of my concerns right now.

do you know what you’re getting yourself into?

[𝙰𝙳𝙰𝙼. @risesabove]

@AerialAcing my knee hurts! 😒

[𝙰𝙳𝙰𝙼. @risesabove]

@AerialAcing at least i’m still handsome. 😒

[𝙰𝙳𝙰𝙼. @risesabove]

@AerialAcing you’re the only fan i need.
