POV Person 3rd

After James had left, Alex started to feel weird. Like, weird beyond comprehension. Not to mention he was a lot more hungrier than usual and nothing seemed to be satisfying him.

He complained to George about it and he was allowed to stay home until whatever was happening would calm down. George would just bring Alex his homework when he got back from work, which Alex was grateful for. Days went by without no signs of feeling better for Alex.

Tonight, however, was one of the more painful nights as Alex whimpered in his bed, trying to calm down and suppress whatever was going on with him. He decided to just go out to the forest to calm himself down since the forest seemed to be the only place where he could truly be free without the restricting rules enforced on hybrids like himself.

Meanwhile in the Jefferson household, James was sitting on Thomas' bed as Thomas paced back and forth in a panicked manner.

"I don't know what came over me, it just felt so right...too right..." Thomas thought more about Andre's words growing more frustrated with every passing minute.

"Thomas, how about you go take a walk in the forest? That always calms you down, right?" Thomas sighed and nodded. "Then go do that, I'll talk to Aaron about this," James got up and gave Thomas a quick hug before leaving. Thomas hopped through the window and trekked his way through the darkened forest, his illuminating eyes being the only sign of him there.

Alex sat in the center of an opening, eating an unfortunate racoon who just happened to stumble upon the boy. He didn't even care at this point, anything to dull that urge he had. A rustle in the leaves caused his ears to perk up and he looked around, growling quietly.

He spotted a pair of glowing red eyes through the trees. Normally, he would tense up more thinking of the fact that it was another hybrid that would be there to attack him, but no, instead he felt calmer. In a sense he felt as if he could trust the person.

"Thomas?" Alex said quietly, hoping his guess was correct.

"The one and only," Thomas grinned and hopped down the tree, landing in front of Alex. "Whats got you here shortstack?" Thomas pat Alex on the head, to which Alex let out an angry huff.

"I could ask you the same thing," Alex mumbled and smacked Thomas' hand away.

"I've been having some...problems lately and I came here to calm down and fix whatever it was," Thomas explained while looking around. He spotted the remains of the unfortunate racoon then looked back at Alex. "I'm assuming it's the same thing for you too?"

Alex sighed and nodded, sitting down on the ground and looking up at Thomas. "Its the cravings...they have been getting worse and I don't know what to do."

Thomas sat in front of Alex and stared at him. "Its been the same for me too, and uh," Thomas trailed off, not wanting to explain what he did.

Alex just waited for a response, looking into Thomas' eyes. He never realized how similar they were to each other, and he liked them.

It starts with a small bond, noticing common aspects of the other and feeling a sense of calmness around them.
