He smiled up at Casey and watched the other step out of his cloths and started to undress himself and once he was done, he stepped in behind the other. He grabbed the aloafa, squirting some soap onto it and got it all soapy before lightly rubbed his back to get rid o the blood from his skin. He smiled some."I hope that she doesn't come back....." He said softly and sigh.

He honestly wanted Casey to be safe and not be punished for no reason. He sigh softly and couldn't help but to lightly kiss Casey's shoulder and laid his head on his back.

Casey gave a small sigh, enjoying something as simple as the heat of the shower. It let its eyes slide shut for a moment, just trying to relax itself before Alec ended up joining it. As short of a time it had been the dragon couldn't help to jump as if scared, eyes and hair going white for a moment before calming down once recognizing the boy wasn't going to hurt it. Casey wasn't too comfortable with the other helping to get rid of the blood on its skin, but tried not to show it too much even as its hair and eyes yellowed some. It picked up on what the hybrid said, shoulders slumping for a moment before the yellow turned grey.
"You have to understand Alec, Dahlia is my primary contract. She's the reason I have somewhere to stay and thrive. If it weren't for her or the witches before her, I'd be lost and unable to care for myself."

Casey never really liked to bring up just how dependent it was on others as a means to survive. Many other species found it as a great weakness, but being a leech or slave to someone was all it had ever known since its birth. As old as Casey was, it was still only a child to many.

He didnt really know how much Casey depended on Dahlia. He was quiet and just stared at Casey's back and wondered if maybe he should leave the dragon alone. He could pick up that he felt uncomfortable with him in here and didnt want to make the dragon more uncomfortable than he already was. "I'll just leave you alone." He said softly and stepped out, drying off really quick and dressed rather quickly as well and went to the living room.

He texted Marcus on what had happened and it sunk in that Arya was part of the council and wondered f this would cause a problem for her. He didnt want to cause problems for the blonde, she was very nice to him as even seemed to care for him.

Casey's hair and eyes couldn't help to grow a slightly darker shade of grey at Alec's reaction. The dragon wished it could explain things better but even though it understood its powers, its means of living still confused it. It only nodded at Alec leaving, taking a moment to listen to the hybrid exit before starting to clean the rest of itself up. It ended up recreating the clothes it had on before they were destroyed by blood and Dahlia's nails as he stepped out of the bathroom. It rounded the corner and found Alec in the living room, trying its best to put on its sly smirk even when its grey eyes and hair gave away its feelings. It could pick up on the other's feelings though, thinking something was wrong.
"Is everything alright? I am sorry about that but....in all honesty what I am is a parasite just bigger."

He looked up from his phone and saw the sky smirk but the dragons eyes and hair were a dead give a way."Yeah ill be fine.....and I know but ra not your fault." He said softly and gave him a small smile. He looked down again and laid his phone on the table. "I didnt want to make you feel uncomfortable...." He explained in a very soft voice that sounded more like a whisper.

He started to pick at his fingers and honestly didnt know what he could say or do that could make the situation better.

Casey couldn't help to be unsure about what to think of the answer given to it. The dragon walked further into the room then, eyes and hair still a dulled grey color. It didn't like to see the boy like this, not in the slightest.A more gentle smile came across its features as it sat down on the sofa, looking to some of the stains its blood had created before making them vanish with glamour. It couldn't help to tap into a bit more of its glamour to pull at Alec some to get the boy to come closer.
"It's alright Alec...I know most creatures accept kindness and such gentle actions as what you did, but I...It's much harder for me to understand. Dahlia...she has a habit of comparing me to being like a pet or small child depending on her mood. Will it help ease you some to know not all of them treated me as Dahlia has?"
The dragon had pushed a few locks of hair out of Alec's face then, grey eyes still looking rather sad but hopeful in its words to cheer Alec up. The dragon was never good with bringing more...positive emotions out of people, just draining the bad ones out of them.

He felt himself being tugged on and at first it confused him cuz Casey wasnt moving and just scooted closer to the other and looked at him. He listened as Casey tried to make him feel better but in honesty the others words didnt help."That doesn't make me feel any better." He said softly and sigh. He looked down again and ran a hand trough his hair. "I really just want you to be happy." He admitted softly and had to cover his face with his hands to contain the tears that threatened to spill."I've just caused nothing but trouble I'm sorry....." He said.

Casey's eyes and hair went a shade darker then, unknowing of what to do at this point. Comforting was clearly not one if its strong points before it just pulled Alec in for a hug. It didn't want the boy blaming himself for what has happened, in fact Casey had been expecting Dahlia to come around and "punish" it or something like that. The woman had been losing her mind lately, what with being drained from taking care of her brother then having to deal with the boy finally behaving like a teenager. The woman was starting to abuse her place in the council and the only one to suffer it was the dragon, at least the only one to see the madness this was all bringing her.

The dragon made eye contact with the hybrid in its arms as it felt pain for hearing the other say sorry.
"It isn't any of your fault, in fact you saved me. You made her stop even if it was just for a little while. Don't ever blame yourself for things that happen between me and my primary contractor. And you...You do make me happy Alec, still the best company and contract ive ever had."

He still felt bad and actually regretted that he let her get away from him like that but there want anything he could do about it right now . He looked at Casry when the other reassured him that it wasnt his fault and that he made him happy. He looked at Casy with tear filled eyes and rubbed them."I do?" He said as of he surprised him and in a way it did. He smiled some though and couldn't help but to
Leaned forward and kisse him.

"I love you.....it's okay if you don't say it back...." He said softly.

Casey looked to get a bit better in the emotions department at seeing the look of surprise in Alec's voice. The dragon wasn't given much of a chance to answer though as the boy leaned forward and kissed it. Grey suddenly faded back to the neutral blond and gold it normally was, just barely tinged with pink. The dragon couldn't help to freeze though at the other saying he loved it, not too sure about its own emotions still. Casey ended up holding Alec close for a moment, trying not to feel saddened by this to make its features turn grey again.
"I would say such back to you, but I don't understand that emotion...I think only one other person tried to show it to me but in a different sense. she left me alone in the world before I really had a chance to understand.
A hand was starting to be ran through Alec's hair, the touch gentle but seeming to having a longing to it to remain close to the hybrid. The dragon didn't know what to do, it wanted to say those words back, but even something as blackened as Casey knew better than to fool around with Love, and it didn't even understand how it worked.

He honestly didnt know what to say back to Casey at eating the others words, but wrapped his Rms around him when it seemed the other longed for hos touch and comfort. He looked so sadden by this and just gently stroked Casey's hair now."I know it's okay....." He said softly and gave him a couraging smile. He did love Casey he knew that already but he didnt know wha he could do to help Casey out with this and maybe the other didnt really love him at all, not in that way that he loved him.

He tried not to let that thought get to him and focused now on just trying to Comfort the other. "How about we do something, why would you want to do?" He asked.

Casey couldn't help to let a small smile cross its lips st seeing Alec smile. The dragon wanted to see that expression on the hybrid and that expression only. This thought couldn't help to baffle the dragon,considering it was one to want people in pain or a state of distressed emotion so it could feed. For a long time Casey did everything with selfish intent but Alec, it made it want to put itself on the line, heck even throw away how it's been surviving out the door if it were to get the boy to smile and keep giving it such gentle contact. Contact that didn't hurt.

Gold eyes turned to curious orange, blinking at the question.
"Well i still can't leave here without permission, unless you want to watch me play guard dog, so that's out of the question...if you don't mind, can I just...keep you close? I'm not one for contact but you, I don't want to be away from you."
A touch of confusion laced its gaze, not seeming to understand this feeling. It was able to tolerate contact and all, plush when it was with Alec it was never painful, so it liked it. It was as if the dragon was starting to want to tend to Alec more as it would a primary contractor, minus the fear and replaced with adoration.

He looked to Casey And saw the confused stare that it gave him and wondered if maybe the other did love him but he didnt know that it was love. He did give him a big smile and took his hand in his and walked to the bedroom. He let go of Casey's hand and took his shirt off and pants, he pulled back the covers and looked to Casey. He wanted to cuddle with Casey and the two needed to relax after everything that had happened earlier today. He smiled up at the other and sigh softly. "Let's lay down together." He said.

Casey blinked as it was led back to its own bedroom by the hybrid. The dragon remained in the doorway for a moment before just watching Alec remove his shirt and pants. Orange eyes and hair flickered pink for a moment before watching the boy pull the covers back. It moved closer into the room then, using a foot to close the door as it walked to Alec. Casey stripped off its own pants and shirt, but unlike Alec the dragon wasn't one for undergarments. A small smirk passed over its mouth for a moment before just pulling Alec into its arms.
"That sounds like a lovely idea..."
A small pur spilled from its throat then, practically dragging the boy into bed. It used a bit of its glamour to pull the blankets back over them as it held the smaller boy close to its chest, eyes shutting and chin resting atop the other's head.

He smiled and looked up at the other as soon as he started to undress and couldn't help but to look over the others body before Casey got into bed beside of him. He was pulled by the other and nuzzled his head into his chest, eyes closed and enjoyed the comfort that Casey brought him. "This is so nice." He said softly and ran his hands softly over Casey's arm that was wrapped around him and started making circles and other shapes. He looked up at the dragon and gave him a kiss before laying his head back underneath his chin.
