Summary
The quick looks from his siblings. Those were the most uncomfortable because there was no pretending in them. He’d lock eyes with his brother or his sister and they’d look away quickly, only just leaving behind a trace of emotion like a dying sparkler, it was uncomfortable, it was guilty. They looked at him as if he was a horror they couldn’t confront, a mistake they would rather repress than deal with.
It felt… bad. Alexis was pretty bad at naming his own emotions a lot of the time, it was his own nightmare, but it never really mattered. What mattered more was the sickening feeling, the pull in his gut that lined the back of his throat with an awful sweetness that arose whenever he met their gaze, thousands of unsaid words of all kinds rising and dying in his throat. He supposes he felt angry at them.
Several years after his career took off, his family has kind of accepted his path in life. But after coming back from Blue Lock, Alexis finds his life upended by it. Can he accept it? Can he embrace the warmth?
