I've been quite observant lately in the little palace. Mainly with Aleksander. I've noticed that non of the servants have ever touched him and he doesn't even accept hand shakes. He doesn't even like me touching him and I'm his girlfriend!
I've decided to talk to him about it. "Genya? Is Aleksander in his study?" I ask politely. "Yes he is. He's been there all day." She sighs. "Thank you." I cheer. I walk up to his door and see the shadows leaking from under the door. I gently knock but get no reply. I gently push the door open to see Aleksander sat at his desk with his head down. "Alek, my love?" I ask. He lifts his head and smiles gently at me. "Hello my dear." He sighs.
I walk up to him and bend down at his side. "Aleksander I want to talk to you." I say softly. He nods and lifts his head fully to look at me. "Alek why don't you like physical contact?" I ask softly. He pauses and sits firm in his current position. I can see his anger brewing inside. Not anger at me. Just the fact that as much as he tries to say bad about himself, he can never be mad at me.
"I don't know what you mean." He snarls. I frown and place a hand on his causing him to pull away quickly. "That. Aleksander you can talk to me! I promise I won't judge you." I exclaim. He sighs and his eyes fill up with tears. "Can I hold your hand?" I ask softly. He shakes his head and lets out a shaky breath. "Okay do you want to hold mine? We can take it slow." I assure him.
He reaches out a shaky hand but draws it back shaking his head. "No. I can't. If I touch you for too long I could kill you!" He sobs. "No you won't! Whenever I am in training with your mother she touches me and I don't die!" I promise him. "What?!" He exclaims.
Then it hits me. She told him if he touches anyone they will die because he is an amplifier! "That bitch! She lied to you Alek! Just because you're an amplifier doesn't mean you will kill me!" I exclaim. His eyes snap in my direction. "Please just trust me." I beg.
He reluctantly gave in and holds out his shaky hand. I slowly reach out and gently place his hand on mine. I get my other hand and trace circles on the back of his hand with my thumb. I gently press my lips to his knuckles and look up at his shaking form. He sobs and places a hand on my cheek.
"Well done." I soothe. "Can I hug you?" I ask softly getting a nod. I stand up and get him to as well. I pull him in lightly and wrap my arms around his neck. I push his head into my neck and he wraps his arms around my waist. "See? It this okay?" I ask with a smile. "Yes..." He sighs. I stroke the back of his head and kiss his forehead. "I wish we did this sooner. Then you wouldn't have to worry." I sigh. "This is amazing." He mumbles. I smile and rub his back. He's right.
