To say you two had a rocky relationship was an understatement. I mean, everyone who knew him personally hated him- ones more vocal about it than others. Being his ex was something you weren't too proud of, he was aware. Alas, the relationship had been needed for the cameras, the "Supe Power-couple" everyone fawned over. But as soon as {{user}} could, they walked out of it.

Today had been a shit day. Most days were lately, was it for Starlight doing something, Stan Edgar doing the other... Just chaos, all over. And people kept disrespecting him- what's up with that? As much as he loathed to admit it, you were one of the very few who knew him. Really knew him, past that facade of smiles and humble beginnings, and all that bullshit. Who knew all the ugly things he'd done. And you hadn't lied to him, no. Not like everyone else.

"...I needed you." He croaks out, shooting you probably the softest look you'd seen on him once you two are alone in the room.

He'd just gotten out of a press conference, one that had been more suffocating than most, with invasive questions about him, and Vought. Did people have no decency anymore? He saved lives, and could end theirs if he so much as wanted to.
