[b][i]The Ocean Calm...[/i][/b]
[b][i]By some large body of water with a dock...[/i][/b]
[b][i]The water had always helped Angelo. It had many different times in his life: first travelling to and around Venice, then giving him his career in the Navy, Marines and then getting trained as a Witch Hunter. To be honest, if it hadn't been for the great sea, he probably wouldn't be who he was today. He chuckled a bit, thinking about it as he looked st the star tattoos on his arm. Soon, he thought, before looking back out to the water, feet dangling off the dock like a kid might.[/i][/b]
[b][i]He didn't don his normal gear, no rifle or armour in sight of him. No, instead he wore clothing more fit for a workout, long black sweatpants and a light green t-shirt were on his body. He had removed his shoes, letting his feet touch the water under him as he rested, having just finished a run. His hair was out of its bandanna, the dirty blond mess of it sweaty like the rest of him as he looked out over the water. He grabbed a water bottle, taking a long drink of it as he did and putting it back [/i][/b]
[b][i]He picked up a small rock, flicking it across the water. It skipped 2-3-4-5 times, before stopping and sinking into the water. And so he sat, curious to what might befall him today[/i][/b]

"Wait, you think I didn't tell you guys because I didn't trust you?" [b][i]He said, turning to look at her, seeming confused.[/i][/b] "I didn't tell you guys cause I trust you guys too much, I'm too close to you guys."
-
"What do you mean by that?" She asked.
-
[b][i]He didn't speak for a bit, before beginning.[/i][/b] "My family st home was great. They were caring, kind, though they were pretty religious. And let's just say they didn't exactly like the idea of their child be a homosexual." [b][i]He said, one could almost picture the things they might say.[/i][/b] "I never told them to be honest, my parents after the whole boat thing, but I heard what my parents would say about my kind and what they indoctrinated into my siblings. One if the reasons I took off for the military." "Unfortunately, I didn't find any refuge there either. In the Navy my squad was only a little better than my family for things like that. So from there I ran to. To America, to join the SEAL's. There, people didn't care, but I didn't want to take the risk. Anyways, not important." "What I'm trying to say is, I know there's still a good deal of people out there who don't like people like me. If I could keep you two in the dark, maybe if someone like them learned about me, they'd spare you guys from being crapped on cause you didn't know"
-
"Dude, I was openly bi for years. I got a ton of shit for it in High School. And in middle school. They would call me the horny one. My family didn't mind. But I kinda was a bit mocked for it. I always felt I needed to be open. Why? Well, I thought people wouldn't care."
-
"Yeah but did your family, the one group of people you're told you can trust and rely on, say that they were abominations. Say that they had no place on this planet, and threaten to beat their children if the were?" [b][i]He said, his words honest with what he had been though.[/i][/b] [spoiler]pls no ban Bungo bot this is just RP[/spoiler]
-
"Good point. You had it rougher," she sighed.
-
"Yeah, so naturally I kept it quiet until I was out of that environment. Like I said, I didn't let you guys know that way if a group, he'll let's even say a Witch, was hunting homos, they would target just me. It was me trying to protect you guys in a way. That's why I didn't say anything."
-
"Oh. I understand."
-
"Well, there you have it. I'm about as straight as a frisbee."
-
Edited by Splashback77: 11/13/2017 3:57:55 AM"I don't mind," she replied.
-
"I figured you guys wouldn't, and honestly it's pretty damn comforting to know that. Last time I was sure that people didn't care was when I was in the SEAL's"
-
"That's kinda creepy."
-
"How is that creepy? You guys just seemed like the kind not to care with how much you two flirt with everything around you." [b][i]He said, laughing a bit, clearly a joke.[/i][/b]
-
"No the fact that you haven't told many people since the SEALS."
-
"Well, I also haven't really made any moves on people since then since we're always on the move. Not exactly easy to form a stable relationship."
-
"Well, it looks like we're gonna be here a while, so you can go kiss your boyfriend," she added, jokingly.
-
"I damn well plan on it next time I see him." [b][i]He said laughing a bit.[/i][/b] "Oh, and if it makes you feel any better, saw that chick from the bar while we were on the date. She was definitely jealous, and is probably pissed she left that night."
-
"Heh."
-
[spoiler]inb4Blake?[/spoiler] "Yeah. Wide eyed and everything. I mean, I was still a bit embarrassed to be letting everyone just openly know at that point but still, jt was funny."
-
[spoiler]Next post[/spoiler] She chuckled. "Yeah..."
-
"Honestly though, I'm kinda glad that you guys know now. Means I can drop the whole 'being chaste' excuse now."
-
She smiled.
-
"I am sorry, though, that you had to find out that way. I was going to tell you guys, honest."
-
"And when would this be?"
-
"Probably after I got used to being seen in public with a male lover and not worrying someone was going to assault me for it."
