~The Witcher: Geralt X Listener SFW: Misunderstanding~ {Patreon Exclusive}

He just doesn't understand why you'd be so kind to him....

Contains: Misunderstandings, Confessions, Mentions of Sex, Talking it Out, 

Maybe this is a little loose with the theme of "Kiss and Make Up" but the idea of Geralt having no idea why someone was being kind to him and him completely misunderstanding just wouldn't get out of my head, so I had to write it lol. Him also finding out that someone cares for him beyond his usefulness and sees him for the type of man he really is also something I wanted to address because I feel it's a big thing for Geralt, so I hope you all enjoy!

~Audio Transcript Below~

Geralt: I......there has been something on my mind.....as of late......and.....we should talk about it......

*pause*

What do you want from me?

*pause*

I.....*sighs*.....I've been....thinking about why.....you're so.....nice to me.....and....the only conclusion that I could come to is that you want something from me, and haven't gotten it yet......so.....what is it?

*long pause*

I know you've been nothing but kind to me.....that's why I'm asking......

I don't.....understand why......

*pause*

No one else treats me this way.......

*exhales softly*

It's....easier to go along with what everyone seems to think of me......it's made jobs easier......

They all think that they know.....and they believe everything they hear......stories they weren't there for......things they actually know nothing about but spout as truth because they're second cousin's mother said something about it and surely they're more trustful than the monster hunter we beg to solve our problems......

*pause*

You're.....right......I have blunted feelings......not no feelings.......it's easier to pretend sometimes, however......

There are those occasional people who have been.....kind.....but.....not to your extent.....so forgive me for being confused....and thinking that you want something from me.....

I......genuinely don't understand why you treat me the way that you do.....

*pause*

What do you mean?

I'm sorry? You like me? That's why? I don't--it doesn't make sense.....

*long pause*

*softly* Oh.

I......you.......how long?

*long pause*

'Gradual'........'General attraction?'..........'I'm not as hideous as some people say I am?'

I......*exhales*

I apologize.....I didn't....realize.......

*pause*

Forgive me if I find it hard to believe that you would treat me the same way if you weren't in love with me.......

*long pause*

A good man? Do you--?

*pause*

*chuckles* A good man......but not a nice man......

*pause*

You'd rather have a good man....than a nice one? I also find that hard to believe--

*pause*

Hearing you say that......I deserve kindness and care....just as much as any other person is.....different....to say the least.....strange.....unbelievable almost......

I apologize.....for what it's worth......

*pause*

For.....being obtuse and saying that you're only being kind to me for your own gain......for.....practically making you confess your feelings to defend your actions......

For.....not being able to say it back......

*pause*

I.....I won't say it.....just because I think it's what you want to hear......

I might not ever say it, and mean it......

*pause*

How is that ok with you?

*pause*

It's only one of the reasons why you're here?

You're here.....for me.....not just to be with me......

*grunts*

Thank you......

You're....also....a good person......more than I feel like.....I deserve.....

But....I suppose that was your entire point....wasn't it?

*swallows roughly*

We......could have sex......if you want......

*pause*

How does it feel to be thrown off kilter? Shoe on the other foot and all that?

I mean it....

*hums*

"You're not as hideous as you might think you are......"

*pause*

Come on.....let's go.....

*pause*

Of course I'm still alright with you coming with me.....even after your.....confession......you shouldn't be penalized for your feelings just because of me......

*pause*

We can talk about it more later....I swear......right now....we've got a monster to hunt........
