Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alek blinked at the comment, and wasn't all that sure it was meant to be a compliment or an observation made aloud. Eh, either way he'd take it as a compliment. As for the comment on him being strange, he simply grinned-- a little less charming and boyish-- before giving a light shrug. "Then I suppose that would make two adorable and strange wolfs walking on the street," He replied as he gave a very soft laugh, shaking his head softly.

"Nagendra, you really do not have to keep thanking me. So long as you are happy, then no thanks are needed," He said softly as he glanced towards the other wolf male before turning to look up towards the sky.

At the small mutter, he glanced towards Nagendra and raised a brow softly. "Really, Nagendra... if your hand is bothering you, I would not mind carrying a few of those bags at all..."

"Alright, Nagendra, if you insist," Aleksandir said quietly with a soft smile before he looked off in the distance ahead of them. It was starting to get foggy, and a bit chilly, but the sky was still crystal clear. Often those around him got his politeness mixed up with flirting and.. things didn't turn out quite so well, so he was hoping that things would go smoothly between him and Nagendra.

The last thing he wanted to do was lose a potential friend. So far he had only run himself into trouble. A vampire wanting to feed on him, everyone shoving boys his way to persue sexual acts with him, and the fact that he had to deal with there being no women, and that he found Nagendra slightly attractive.

Dear God, just what did he do to deserve all of this? Admittedly, he could see all the reasons as to why he found Nagendra attractive clearly. Polite, sweet, gentle, polite... generally he had been drawn to those characteristics in women. Not only that, but Nagendra was handsome.

Gah! Not those thoughts again! What was wrong with him? For all he knew, women could just be harder to find in this damn place and Nagendra could be straight as an arrow! Shaking his head softly at his own thoughts, he simply gave a very light sigh and continued walking, not knowing what to say with such thoughts running through his mind.

Alek's thoughts were embarassing him... and embarassment mixed with Alek never meant good things. See, embarassment lead to nervous, and nervous led to doing something very stupid or regretable.

The last time he had gotten embarassed, he got very nervous. That led him to kiss the girl who had made him nervous, and that made him more nervous... and that led them to the bedroom.

Shaking his head, he sucked in a deep, calming breath, as if simply enhaling the fresh air. Calm down. He needed to calm down. If he didn't, he would surely end up kissing the other wolf male, or worse.

Oh dear, that would not be good. No, no. Calm down. No kissing. No, no, no.

"Hmm?" Slowly Alek stopped his forward movements as well to turn and look at Nagendra. Was he alright? He was panicking, getting nervous-- those were never good. So, could he honestly say he was alright? Well, no... but he couldn't stand seeing the concerned look in those golden eyes and on that soft face. It made him more nervous than he already was.

"Oh yes, I'm quite alright, Nagendra. Just... lost in a bit of thought," Aleksandir hadn't realized that he had become so comfortable as to pick up contractions into his speech.

If he had noticed, surely he would have panicked even more than he already was.

"Are you alright, Nagendra?" He inquired softly, vivid green eyes staring up into golden eyes as he leaned back against a street light. Why did he feel so odd? Nervously odd...

Embarassment was something he was used to feeling, but he didn't get nervous unless he had been drinking-- something he hadn't done since the day he arrived here.

Thoughts continued to circle through Alek's mind as he focused on the other wolf male, trying to figure out what exactly was making him so nervous.

The embarassment was simple: He found another male attractive... but he only got nervous when there was something he wanted to do-- but only god knew what he wanted to do, because he sure as hell couldn't figure a damn thing out on his own.

Alek blinked and raised a slender, perfectly shaped brow. Glancing down towards Nagendra as he sat down on the side walk, he shook his head and gave a very small chuckle.

Pushing off of the street light, he moved to stand directly infront of Nagendra before crouching, placing one knee on the ground along with one hand to balance him out.

"No, Nagendra. You're not making me uncomfortable..." He said softly, offering that warm, charming grin as he shook his head slightly.

"I'm making me uncomfortable," The wolf started, pausing, thinking how odd that must sound, "You see, I keep.. thinking about things I normally never would." He explained before giving a soft sigh.

"It's odd, and I don't want to say it... but I can't stand by and let you actually believe that you're the one making me uncomfortable," He breathed softly, lowering his voice just slightly.

"I find you attractive, which... is something that isn't normal for me, but I do... and my thoughts keep tracing it over and over again, and I'm nervous... meaning there's something I want to do, but I have no idea what it is.." He frowned softly, not being able to figure himself out.

"Don't worry. I'll calm down," He reached out and gently put a hand on Nagendra's shoulder, giving that charming, boyish grin once more. "I promise."

Aleksandir chuckled softly and stood up, reaching down to pick up his brown paper bag before holding his hand down towards Nagendra, shaking his head.

"Well, then I guess it's not so embarassing and awkward now that I know you're feeling the same," He offered a more genuine grin before cocking his head to the side, floppy ears attempting to perk up, "Nonesense. I can't allow you to walk home tiredly all by yourself."

Closing his eyes for a moment, he looked back down towards Nagendra before looking up towards the sky, "This is a bad neighborhood, and I don't doubt you can handle yourself.... but I would feel guilty just knowing."

Tail swishing behind him gently, he raised a brow and waited for Nagendra. Half of the nervous feeling had slipped away, and the embarassment was completely gone.

"... If it makes you feel better, you can say your sorry as many times as you'd like and I won't mind... Just let it be known that whatever you're apologizing for, it's already forgiven," Alek said gently.

In all honesty, he was still happy to see Nagendra, he just had to get over that embarassment-- even though half of his nervous feeling still remained, he was feeling much better.

Alek put a hand on his hip and grinned as the other questioned his apologies before hopping to his feet and lifting his bags. God, he was adorable...

"Nagendra, you haven't made me uncomfortable... but if you do, I shall be sure to tell you, but that doesn't mean I'm leaving," He said as he closed one eye in a wink, stuck out his tongue, and reached out to lightly poke the other wolf's nose.

"I don't like... men this way, but I do with you... and I adore your company to the fullest of my ability," He said with a grin before reaching out and gently taking Nagendra's arm to steady him.

"You're a little unbalanced," He stated in soft concern.

It was completely unusual for Alek to grow so fond of anyone, female or male, so quickly. It took him at least a year to grow fond of his own brother.

"Come on, let's get you home now," He said with a grin as he took a step backwards, hand still lightly resting against Nagendra's elbow.

Alek wasn't sure why, but the thought of having to leave Nagendra when he got him home, and the thought that it may be a long time before they ever saw each other again, made him feel sorrow.

"You should come down to the beach sometime..." He suggested softly, looking towards the other wolf male with gentle eyes.

"You're quite welcome, Nagen--" Alek lost his train of thought as the other stumbled forward. Feeling arms wrap around his waist in a friendly manner, he smiled and lightly.

Taking a few moments to think on what he should do, the proper behavior... he shoved it away-- what did proper have to do with a hug, anyway?

Absolutely nothing. Smiling more genuinely, warmly, he lightly draped his arms over Nagendra's shoulders and rubbed his back softly. It was... nice, this hug.

Before he never would have even thought about hugging another male, but... Nagendra was different, and he was really enjoying the friendly little embrace.. it was comforting and... oddly enough, he felt safe for the time being in the other's arms.

Lightly kissing the top of the other wolf male's head, he grinned and raised a brow, still rubbing his back softly. "Perhaps it would be best if I flagged down a cab?" He inquired softly, truely enjoying the moment and... reveling in it. This was a nice moment, calm and soothing... This probably wouldn't be the last hug between him and Nagendra. "Here," He whispered softly as he pulled off his zip-up jacket, wrapping it around Nagendra's shoulders before hugging him back once more.
