[El's POV: ]
He was asking him to become his friend and we were talking about THE Morexis here. The bastard who shouldn't have a single friend by this time, aside from Cathy of course.
'But Cathy is more of his childhood acquaintance and something more than a friend.'
He had no friends and this was going to stay this way for a very long time not only because of his insecurities but also because of the way he saw the concept of a 'friend'.
'For this bastard, a friend was something far more than a blood-related family member, or, the closest thing he could ever have in his life.'
His first friend would have been Cathy in normal circumstances or AJ depending on the situation but now that he was asking the two of us for something that we did not want, things were complicated.
[ "He's serious El." ]
[ "He has that look?" ]
[ "Yes… he has 'that' look in his eyes. The dead serious one." ]
