Thread: He's not good enough (Fulicious x Moon Struck Fox)

Only three days? No wonder I feel so heavy...not moving in that long... Alex shook his head, then blinked as he found himself suddenly being helped back to his feet and practically carried down the corridor back to the bedroom, finding himself back in bed before he could even protest. Alex knew that Ezequiel was right, that he needed more rest in order to recover...but he just didn't want to be there right now. His body felt heavy enough from lack of movement as it was. Still, it seemed that no wouldn't be taken for an answer. Uhh...wait....you're...keeping me...? Alex raised an eyebrow at the rather unusual statement, as if he was some kind of stray animal taken in off the street to become some kind of pet. It seemed however that Ezequiel wasn't prepared to answer questions, he just started rambling on without even giving Alex a chance to speak up or interrupt. Then again perhaps Alex was just worried about being further chastised if he attempted to do so. ...Adopting babies? Well I guess maybe one day if I didn't actually have my own or something... I.....well I don't even know where I am so I don't know about school or tutors...I guess whichever is best for you...? It seemed Alex wouldn't have much choice but to simply go along with this...as before he doubted that Ezequiel was going to take no as an answer. On the one hand he seemed to dislike the idea of interacting with people, then suddenly he seemed almost childishly excited by the prospect of Alex being around. Was this man insane? Quite probably. Was he at the very least mentally unstable? Oh yes...most definitely. Wait a second...you kidnapped.... Before Alex could question further though the subject had been changed once again...he'd have to keep a mental note on that one though....then again it was rather difficult to tell if the statement had been serious or just a joke. Right now Ezequiel's tone was giving nothing away, or at least nothing that Alex could pick up on. Then again he wasn't exactly skilled socially himself as it was. Can I cook? Well....I guess I can heat stuff up but that's pretty much it. It's not like I can prepare a proper meal or anything... It made sense that Ezequiel wouldn't know how to cook, or had possibly just forgotten how. If he was a vampire and was that old...well...cooking likely wasn't an issue and hadn't been for quite some time. Now he thought about it, Alex was surprised at himself just how calmly he was dealing with all this. Perhaps the years of drifting between homes had simply prepared him for this somewhat....in the back of his mind this was just yet another home with no expectation of it lasting. Sooner or later, just like all the others Ezequiel would grow bored of him and send Alex on his merry way. Promise not to kill you...? Well I think I can handle that. I wouldn't even know how to go about killing a human being, let alone a vampire Alex folded his arms, attempting to sit up slightly in the bed at least rather than simply laying on his back. Self defence lessons? Well....when you put it that way I guess maybe....but I've never held a gun before in my life, I wouldn't even know how to hold one. Hell, I'd probably just break my wrist if I tried firing one He sighed slightly, then shook his head. I'm not ignoring you, you're just not giving me much of a chance to say anything before you start rambling on again Alex managed a soft smile, trying to show he didn't mean anything malicious with his statement. Just...slow down a little ok? I guess....a tutor or maid or something would be alright. I'm not sure I could handle going out to a regular school again just yet... Alex looked to the window, then away quickly as he heard the howling noise again in his mind. Knowing those things were out there.....it would be a while before he could leave the safety of these thick stone walls. And....if you're sure you're ok with me staying here...I think I'd prefer it to going back to the orphanage....so...thank you He looked back to Ezequiel and smiled again, a little more happily this time, his face managing to shine softly despite the hardships he'd just been through. And thank you for saving me too...I guess I owe you pretty much anything and everything don't I?
