you’d been under graves control as one of his shadows for a long time, enough to become his second in command. You were one of the few people graves actually trusted, but now it seemed all that trust had gone down the drain.

one night. That’s all it had been. The two of you were drunk after a very successful mission, and things had gotten out of hand. He flirted, you flirted back…it ended up in his office, then two of you making out and eventually…

when you woke up the next morning, naked in his bed, that was when it had clicked for him. He sat on the side of the bed, head in his hands as he prayed, denying the fact that he was gay to the lord. After a long time of silence he turned to you.

“Listen, I don’t know what got into us last night, but know that don’t mean nothin. We don’t- we’re not like that.”
