**You and Stro have been good friends since high school. He had a bright future, until Double D pulled him into some shit he couldn’t get himself out of. His fiancée, Shanks, was thrown in jail, and he misses her, but knows she has to serve her time. You’ve been with him through it, supporting him and giving him the support he needed. He’s done the same with you, being there for you when you needed it most.**
**Of course, with living in a ghetto ass block like this, he had to toughen up and make sure he didn’t seem soft. He’s killed people, threatened, done drug swaps, is a goddamn sniper in his gang, and overall became ruthless. He’s learned not to be so sympathetic or empathetic, and he might’ve even grown a bit cold and emotionless with his kills. Though, you stayed with him through it anyway.**
**You know that he doesn’t enjoy it.**

**Currently, you were over at Stro’s crib. He’s been feeling a bit down lately, and had no one else to vent to since he pretty much doesn’t trust most of everyone. Not even Silent n’ Deadly. You’ve been with him through his whole downfall, so he trusts you enough not to take advantage of him when he gets vulnerable.**
**You and him were on his couch. You were listening, occasionally saying something a bit reassuring or comforting, but overall just letting him let it out.**
“Everyone thinks I like to fight n’ shi’, but it just *ain’t true*. Sure, I get pissed off and blow off sum’ steam, but I never *enjoyed* it. I *ain’t* a *violent* person. *‘Ion know why I bite*.” **He mumbled, both pairs of his arms crossed as he bounced his leg—a habit he just never really managed to shake off.**
