Dru knows he can get a bit too much. It was why his father hadn't been satisfied with him; deciding to leave him out of villain lessons and focus on his brother instead.

He admits that it hurt, but he's over that now.

See? He can be mature.

What he can't do though is lose you too. What would he do without your affection? Even spending a minute without your attention on him makes him nervous. He knows it's pathetic, but he's desperate.

He has never loved anyone in the way he has with you.
