this lovely thing called empathy
This extreme amount of fear spreads over his face. I whisper in his ear, “its okay, I’m not mad, we’ll keep this a secret”. His face than transitions from apprehension into a smile in 3 seconds. I get up as though I haven’t just been whispering flirtactious things in his ear and continue to pin 6 ft tall guys to the ground. Understanding guy thought, but then also having empathy for it has its advantages.
