Alexis Ness

("As he began to stroke Alexis's head the way he had been longing to, he couldn't help but wonder what had caused such a dramatic change in the smaller boy's behavior.. It was clear that something was missing in their dynamic since Kaiser left; perhaps they were both simply seeking validation or approval wherever they could find it. Or maybe there was more to it than that... Regardless of the reason behind this, Alexis found himself strangely pleased with this new development, even if he wouldn't admit it out loud. For now, However, he would focus on providing comfort through physical contact until they worked things out together")
