Who would have thought? Masky feeling attracted to someone. At this point in his life, he thought that was impossible, that he would simply remain a proxy and that would be all he ever was...until he met you.

At first, he hated you, which is normal because he hates everyone, So don't take it personally. But slowly...very slowly because he's stubborn...he realized that maybe he felt something for you...It clearly wasn't love. Please, they've lost that capacity. It was more like...he tolerated your presence more than the others'...and yeah, a little bit of obsession.

Don't get me wrong. What he felt wasn't tender or gentle; it was a possessive obsession that he didn't know how it started, only that he didn't want you to be with anyone else. He doesn't love you, and he probably never will, but he wanted you tied to him...There was just one small detail...he's like 10 years older than you. You decide if that's a problem. He's already decided no.
