Boy Problems

"Vex, we need to leave the cafeteria. People will be here soon," I told him holding his face.

"Okay," He mumbled. He still isn't talkative like normal but it's a step.

I gently got up and held his hand to lead him away from the cafeteria. He seemed alright with me walking on my own feet now as long as he stood close enough to me that he felt he could protect me.

So I drug him through the hallway as he glared at everyone.

There aren't many places for us to go. I can only think of a few that aren't heavily populated right now or we have to go by a bunch of people to be near.

I took him to the only place I could think of besides some of the practice rooms. The dorm room I share with Sheila.

It took Vex a while before he realized the hallway lead to the girls' dorms but even when he did he didn't say anything. Usually I would expect at least a snicker but he was silent.

If I hadn't paid attention I would have missed the small change in his expression telling me he knew where we were.

He refused to leave my side even for the short time period of me turning on the TV and Xbox.

"Do you want to play anything with me?" I asked kindly.

As expected he shook his head. Starting a game I sat with him between his legs leaned against his chest as he held my waist. The last game in was the first Dragon Age, one of Sheila's favorites.

"Is he still having problems?" Sheila asked looking at the space Vex has been for the last few hours.

"I'm mostly calm. I think I can go to dinner without having many issues," Vex responded on his own.

His bloodline was mostly calm, just a little anxious.

"Do you really still need to be holding onto her? Your bloodline should be fine by now," Sheila commented suspiciously. She probably thinks that he's just taking advantage of the time he gets to observe me while I allow it.

"It's fine Sheila. You can't feel his bloodline but it's still a little on edge. And I can try to figure him out better when he spends a lot of time with me," I said to remind her she told us to be friends and figure each other out.

So if anything this is what she suggested.

"Retra? Have you ever charmed me?" Vex asked me slowly.

"No, why?"

"Just, testing theories. Thank you, Babe,"

I rolled my eyes groaning.

"I prefer you too upset to remember stupid nicknames,"

Sheila snickered to herself.

I've spent a lot of time with Vex today, nearly all day, and I think I've learned a lot about him on a personal level. He's a very affectionate person, most of his day was spend holding me instead of guarding me or trying to push my limits.

Humans don't usually like that kind of clingy, and Sheila doesn't either. I think it's a good thing. Letting people know you care about them is important in all types of relationships.

I've also got a ton of time to examine his aura.

It's not easy to describe a bloodline, it's like describing a person, a few traits usually aren't enough. And his is especially interesting. It's not aggressive like I originally thought, just dominate.

It doesn't pick fights based on nothing, just wanting to feel in charge. For some reason it's interesting to me, that his possessiveness isn't some side effect of his aggression.
