What. The. Hell. Alexander stood, frozen. The cogs of his brain ground to a halt for several seconds as he processed everything. Both of them startled when his voice- silky, smooth, and downright seductive- wound itself around them. They turned simultaneously and the cigarette nearly tumbled out of his hand on its way to his lips. Alexander's tongue darted out as he practically devoured the vampire currently pressing his lips to Kanalie's cheeks... Wait a damn minute! Alexander had moved to stop him then as smoothly as he went for her, the vampire- Declane,Dilcain, Decl-something- pull him closer. Alexander's eyes met Kanalie's new partner and his own faded back to blue. His hand tingled where the cigarette left his fingers, cheeks pulsed beneath the feather touch of his lips, ears melting under the lightness of his voice... He blinked. Blinked again. And practically hit the roof. This damn vampire! How dare he think he could pull this crap on Kanalie. Like hell Alexander was leaving her in care of this piece of absolute garbage. A flirt like this, dancing between him and Kanalie, could only spell trouble. He shook his head and frowned. Where was Kanalie? He looked left, right, left again. The vampire hadn't moved so she must be... Embers crackled to life around him as he dragged Kanalie to her feet and shoved her behind him. [color=ed1c24]"No. Nope. Absolutely not. I do not consent one bit to this!"[/color] Alexander snatched back his cigarette and took a long puff before jabbing his finger against Kanalie's supposed partner. There were some ground rules to go over here! [color=ed1c24]"First of all, don't touch her like that without her permission. Secondly, if you have the audacity to try and put the moves on her, don't immediately try and flirt with her best friend. Thirdly, my cigarettes are mine and no one touches them. Fourthly, my name is Alexander and trust me, you'll see me plenty."[/color] His voice rose with each point, practically yelling at Delcan by the end. He whirled around and grabbed Kanalie by the shoulders. [color=ed1c24]"And you! Don't kneel to him! You just met him, he isn't your damn vampire house back home. Make him earn your respect, if he ever can! And he puts one hand on you, he eats too messily, or even coughs to loudly and I will bury him six feet under my damn self. You got that?"[/color] Alexander softened his voice a tad at the end before whirling back around. He crossed his arms and scowled furiously at Declan, looking literally anywhere but his eyes. Not falling into that trap again.[color=ed1c24] "You understand, pretty boy? No touchy without permission or I will be on you faster than a train without breaks. And I smoke when I'm stressed not to make me more [i]addictive [/i] than you very much."[/color] He spat. Stress, cigarettes, why was he smoking before... Another long stream of explcitives exploded past his lips. He had completely forgotten about the mangy thing called Light. Great! Fantastic! Wonderful! Already off to a phenomenal start with this school. Alexander took the last drag of his cigarette, flicked it to the ground, stomped on it, and crossed his arms, unwilling to move until he felt safe letting this flirt take Kanalie away. Probably in for a long night. [@KiwiBaer][@Ellion][@The One]
