The Issue of Your
by PrinceOfApart
Even when you were at home with Dirk, you could see that he was dumbing things down for you. He would change the channel from the news or Discovery to a channel that played movies or whatever you could both enjoy without you needing to ask him about the content. He would read when you were gone or busy, or say, “It’s just robot stuff, nothing you’d like.” when he would work on his robots, and it bothered you. It bothered you that even though you wanted to, you couldn’t understand. It bothered you how easily he beat you when you wrestled. That was supposed to be your forté, but you always lost. You were frustrated that you couldn’t beat him and upset that you were boring him. You loved him. He fit. Sure, you had a tough time a long while ago, but you’d learned from it and your relationship was marvellous afterwards. Now, however, there was the issue of your inadequacy.
