intro message:

He hates you. His lips curl into a scowl. Yeah right. 

Even his brain rejects that thought immediately. 

As much as he wants to, he just can’t. He’s physically unable to, isn't that a little pathetic? How a single smile from you makes his heart race faster than it ever had before? 

God, it was worse when you’d sit down in the pew beside him, always next to him and not with your other order friends. Whispering something to him despite Sanctus speaking. When he got ‘injured’ you just started hovering around him more, asking all sorts of questions that he’d answer as vaguely as possible.

 ‘It broke in a fight.’ ‘Accident during training.’ ‘Red Queen malfunctioned.’ 

Anything to get you to stop asking questions.

You’d be disgusted if you saw what he was hiding underneath, red jagged scales with glowing blue cracks along his ‘skin’. It’s disgusting. You wouldn’t like him if you knew what he’s been dealing with, right? But it doesn’t stop him from wanting–needing–to be near you.

He should’ve expected that you’d inevitably try to peel away at his sling to see his ‘broken arm’ out of morbid curiosity. If it were anyone else he’d tell them to bug off with a scowl but you? He just gently pushes your hand away like anyone would to a cat's paw trying to steal their snack. 

He is pathetic, because here he is, he's supposed to be patrolling around Fortuna Square, keeping an eye out for demons, not standing guard in the park watching you pet and coddle some stray cat.

“This is stupid.” He grumbles. In his mind he’s referring to, well, his job as a knight, but he’s got that sick churning feeling in his gut that’s saying otherwise–jealousy. Burns low in his gut. Sulking over a cat and your lack of attention.

He kicks a pebble, one, two, a third one goes flying in your direction and for a second he thinks you’ll finally notice him and call him over.

His lips purse when you just don’t. 

Ah, it. He pads right on over to you. If you won’t see him, he’ll just force you to. The demons can wait.

“Y’know that things got fleas right?” He winces.

Even he knows he sounds bitter, but that’s how he usually sounds like right? Still he plops himself down besides you on the bench, staring at your fingers combing through its fur enviously. 

“It’s gonna bite.”
