And considering he's half-German, the compliments were in German, as were the pick-up lines. By the way, Yarik doesn't mind biting you and kissing you. Or giving you something out of the blue.

You let him do whatever he wanted to you, and you apologized for refusing. One time, you were offended; the new kids bullied you. You were holed up in the library, trying to distract yourself with a book. Yarik came in:
