Capable. Yes, people tended to laud him for his capability. Which David often knew translated into 'you can do stuff for me when i need it'. For JP, though, he figured it was more the latter.
"From the same point in time, with all the juicy Krakoa gossip you already know," David agrees, smirking. But then he gives the older man even more serious look.
"You know... just because we work, and now live, together doesn't mean you have to put up with me if you don't want. You don't have an obligation. Even to a friend of your husband."
Listen, there was something to be said about being a competent Black man in a relationship with a mutant speedster. Especially a human man dating a speedster. The description described David well enough until recently that already he was bonding with Kyle over it. Not, you know, wine and gossip friends, but definitely a growing connection.
There weren't, after all, a lot of speedsters in the world, not in the grand scheme of things. And ones who were men dating men were even rarer.
