Alexei stepped out; feeling the wind on his being. For a moment, he was actually grateful for having some great guys on his team. Hollowfag, although he disliked the guy, did a lot today. Crack Druid as well who created some spectacular stunts. The lad didn't really see Enki, but when he saw Winters talking to a random guy who he probably knew; Alexei hoped that it was that person. Telefag was there, but Alexei needed that guy's ability for now. Nerdlord was also brave; Alexei chuckled at seeing Mild's angry face. Who knew the kid was strong enough to be his own man? Finally, Melinda... It's only been a week since they've been in the team, but Alexei felt that he had missed a lot during these times. He hardly knew the girl, but right now, his head was not straight. Whether he liked it or not, what Hollowfag said was true... For some reason, deep inside, he wanted to be the only person that Melinda would look at. Alexei really wanted to remove these feelings, but for some reason, they keep surfacing. He had tried to push everyone away by using harsh words and harsh attitudes in order to cover up his actually fragile nature; of how easily he cares for others... So far it succeeded. Hollowfag, and Telefag hated him... but why Melinda? 

That girl... why was she never deterred? She keeps passing every barrier he had established, What was worse, was the fact that with every barrier she broke through... The happier, and more human Alexei turned out to be. He looked at his hands which had touched Melinda, and he remembered the warmth he had felt.

"I want... to hear her voice..." Alexei unconsciously spouted those words as he opened his eyes in surprise. Suddenly, he heard Melinda's voice, actually. "Wow... I must have knocked my head harder than I thought..." the assassin chuckled but he fell silent as Melinda actually appeared in front of him. Alexei tried his best to put on a bored face, but inside, he was shivering. Melinda, apparently, gave him some parting words which was to be careful, and Alexei was about to just nod when the girl rose up, and delivered a peck on his cheek. Melinda left hurriedly as she said: "See you!"

Alexei remained frozen in place as his hand touched the spot where a miracle had happened. "That's unfair. You're going to make me regret doing this." Alexei stammered as he stomped the ground in desperation. "No! Now is not the time to go full retard... Hey, TELEFAG! You comin' or what?!" Alexei shouted to cover up his trembling voice. In the silence that ensued, Alexei walked in circles outside the bar.

"Why do you make me feel?" 

Telefag would come... He knew that guy would... He trusted that guy would, and he would wait for him.
