Alex found herself becoming increasingly bored. She couldn't bring herself to care about what was going on. She had no interest for any of the other students, or the teacher, or even the class. Normally, she was excited about learning, even when it was a subject she'd already learned, because there was always a benefit to reviewing, but today she just didn't care. They'd been on so many planes, trains, and cars as they fled. She'd had to leave her entire life behind and pack what little she could take with her.<br/><br/>She was tired down to her bones. She felt listless, mellow, even sullen. Staring down at her notepad, she began doodling aimless little squiggles on the margins of the paper, propping her chin in her hand. She didn't realize she'd begun to drift off until she jolted awake, startled by the sound of Levi's growl. Instantly she was on high alert, sitting up in her chair silently and looking around. She saw that Levi was glaring at a boy across the room and her gaze followed his. She could see no threat in him, nor sense anything malicious in his aura. In fact, now that she looked... he was rather attractive. Even in her exhausted, depressed state she could notice that much. She found herself watching him out of idle curiosity. Why had Levi growled at him?<br/><br/>When the class ended, she got her answer. Levi immediately stood and moved to her side, bending over her to press his lips to hers as he always did when he needed to restore his energy. His lips were hot today, more urgent than they normally were, and probably the ten thousandth time, she wished there was more to the kiss than just a feeding. She yearned to have more in her life than friendship. Her relationship with Levi was much more than just friendship, but still, she wished he could see more than just a charge in her. Sure, he was her guardian, but she wished there could be more between them. She felt her own limited supply of strength dwindle as he fed, and looked at him with concern.<br/><br/>"Are you okay?" she asked him, her concern evident in her tone.
