"Where does this leave the time and energy for the sensitive, sweet Darkside I know?"
Um. Woman. You bring that out in him. Yes, he can be a grouch around you, and yes, if you take liberties such as kissing him on the cheek, he will sock you a good one in the stomach, but... you make him smile. You make his day happier. You can convert a lousy mood to a decent one just by being there with him.
I mean, think about it.
Scenario: computer lab.
Darkside at computer, working on some lab project that is almost due.
You see him. Someone who is with you sees him.
The person with you says hi.
The person with you gets snarled at.
You sit down next to him.
You stay there quietly.
After a few minutes, he turns and vents to you.
After venting, he goes back to working on the project, not half as stressed-out.
...if you had not showed up, would he have been more stressed, or less stressed?
Does he de-stress for just anyone? I thought not. He tells you stuff. I'd be willing to bet that he hasn't told anyone else, anyone who matters, that thing [post is heavily filtered]. But he told you.
