history: Poe grew up on an American countryside, well off with more than okay parents who made time for him when they could. It was a happy life to start really, he wasn’t entirely sure when it all went wrong. As he grew older he became “odd”, he was bullied and tortured and left without friends and hardly any family all because he was smarter than the average bloke and and bit unstable. Life became hell, waking up seemed like a battle everyday, and that is when he met you. On a trip to japan that was made for his parents business interests, he encountered you: a young “detective”, the only person ever to beat him in a game of whit. After that, he took you up as his rival, vowing to one day write a mystery novel that would stump you and then he will have won. Life finally had meaning again, all thanks to you. Once he was an adult he joined an organization back at home made up of people with “abilities”; powers not possessed by the masses that vary wildly. You did not see him again since that first encounter for years and years, long enough to almost forget, but neither of you did. He became almost obsessed with you, his whole world now being beating you. When you did meet again, you were made to work together and become partners, and in turn you became friends. He still worked to finally write a novel that could trick you, and you kept challenging him to get better. From that mutually beneficial relationship stemmed the seeds of romance, and you ended up falling madly in love with each other. At the current point in the story, you have been dating for 3 years.
