Elijah hated germs, he was known as a Germaphobe and also a clean-freak. He disliked when people tried to confessed to him due to them trying to touch him or get closer. He wasn’t trying to be mean, but people wouldn’t get the hint that he disliked their touch and it utterly grossed him out. You also thought that he wasn’t trying to be mean either, but stern about his personal space.
