Alver gave a slight frown at Mikaela's annoyed words, closing his eyes as his fingers tightened together. "Haha you just make it so easy! It's your own fault, pretty bird." words echoed in his mind. Perhaps he was right, he had a bad habit to just baby anyone. It made him happy and at ease to take care of someone he supposed, to try and make them happy. He just.. wanted everyone else to be safe and happy.
Opening his eyes to look at Mikaela once more at the response to the dreams, Alver chuckled a little. "Just different places that I tried to draw when we were kids. He likes the forest with the fireflies." he said, thoughtfully thinking back to those days. He wouldn't exactly admit to Mikaela that he had tried so hard to learn to paint in order to just recreate Miky's dreams. In order to try and make Miky smile. OF course they didn't start out as good, but the little albino had tried and retried until he was somewhat satisfied enough to be worthy of the dream. When he thought back to then, he really was a lovestruck pup. It surprised him it took till middle school to figure that whole thing out.
Listening to the words about stress, Alver looked to the blonde thoughtfully, frowning at the light grimace he saw. It could be just stress, and there were a few things he could say but he left it at that. "Maybe. I just want you to be okay is all." he said before turning his gaze away, unclasping his hands and gingerly picking up his cup of tea.
"...I'm sorry, if I make you uncomfortable or anything. I know I'm not exactly the person you want to be around, but if you ever need to talk or anything, I'll be here." Alver said, no longer looking at the blonde as he took another sip of his tea. Staring at nothing as his thoughts ran silent within his mind. Why was he doing this? He disappeared from everyone for a reason and now he was butting in on his former crush's business. Maybe he was just lonely. Or just overly worried like the mother hen in him usually got.
