#I think Alric would be very calculated about his new family

[dontdowhatisayandnobodygetshurt]

Day 200009765456 of thinking about The Boys™ adopting Alric: Alric coming quietly into their bedroom at night when he thinks they’re all asleep. Vrox is the only one awake and starts SHITTING himself because he KNOWS the little creep murdered his cult family in their sleep. So he’s just lying there for like. too long on edge and sweating. Then Jesse wakes up and asks Alric what’s wrong.

“Can I have a glass of water?”

“Sure.”

And Jesse gets up to get him a glass of water and Vrox finally relaxes with a crick in his neck.

#I think Alric would be very calculated about his new family #and he would inconvinience them as much as possible #to see if their patience would break and they would hurt him #like he's more than old enough and tall enough to get his own glass of water #he's still half-hoping at the start that they will break #because it means he won't have to realize and process that he's worthy of love #and that love isn't what he was taught #and then after that it's half because he's a little shit #and he needs practical acts of love to make them prove they do love him #to remind him #he doesn't have empathy and he doesn't really feel love #but he does understand taking care of each other in practical ways #poor Vrox #walking in on him deadeyed and eating a raw steak in the middle of the night #with blood everywhere #taking care of a dead demonic child is. complicated??? #also Alric would switch to his native German when speaking to Vrox just to frustrate him #they get along like a house on fire #X'D #my OCs #Alric #Vrox #Jesse
