I know. I always knew that, before you even offered. There's only three people in this whole city that I would trust completely with anything, and you're one of them. No matter what happens. I'd never need an obligation to want to be with you.
[ His reasons for being set on a contract from the moment this happened didn't have anything to do with a lack of trust or Clary lacking in anything. She's honestly amazing exactly the way she is. Anybody would be lucky to be contracted to her. ]
Either. Both. Mostly the first one.
i somehow lost this notif!! i remember getting it, but it's not in my inbox!!! smh
[ It's amazing how those three little words, like a few others that he said to her during that week, make her feel genuinely gleeful. Honestly, the way she smiles reading it is more than a bit embarrassing. ]
I do, too.
[ Imagining any sort of life in Duplicity that doesn't involve Poe is impossible, truth be told.
As for the rest of that, well— It hits Clary just as hard, heart beating a bit faster in her chest, and she suddenly feels like they've blown right past her being a complication for him. ]
I feel the same way, Poe. No matter what.
[ No joking or teasing this time, just the flat-out truth. ]
I do, yeah. Not like all the time or anything, though maybe more often recently. Even before that week in our fake lives. Maybe that's part of what inspired them.
[ It would be really easy to say too much at this point, and he really doesn't want to ruin this, because this past week? It was good. And there's no reason to let that be anything but something nice that they have, without dragging complications into it all. He's just got a lot on his mind lately, even before those fake lives, and the last thing he wants is to drag anyone else into that.
He'll have to open up about it sooner or later, it's pretty inevitable, but... just not here and now.
It's too rare to just be happy for a while here, without something going sideways and making things difficult. Clary deserves to be happy. ]
So what else did you wind up in when I wasn't there? Anything new and scandalous?
Well, you knew about the job change, which was probably the most scandalous. And even that doesn't count considering stripping is probably a rite of passage for actual natives.
The whole polyamory thing was definitely new, though. But you knew about that, so... Not much else, I guess. It was pretty standard stuff for the most part.
