Chain smoking was something he didn't do, well not to often, ever since his weed has been growing stronger he has been trying his best not to do it, but with his recent missions it happened. This had actually helped take his mind off of it all, the constant thought of a possible death, was not fun, he really didn't want to die again.
He knew eventually he would need to die, but he didn't want to die so early in life, plus he didn't know if he would get another life after this, what if this was truly it and this death would be permanent.
"Ryan? Can we talk?" A nervous Rosalie asked as she walked over to where he was standing, at the moment.
Ryan blinked, and then blinked again as the weed was hitting him really hard, he honestly was not a hundred percent sure that she was there at the moment, "I'm sorry, did you say something?"
She sighed as she took a seat next to them, they both were just ignoring the rain that was pelting their bodies, it didn't matter really as their coats were absorbing it, "Look Ryan, this actually, well I know this is a bad time to be talking to you seeing as you are obviously baked out your mind. But I felt that I needed to talk to you.
Are you upset about me being a vampire? Because I tried messaging you last night but you didn't answer at all. I would have come over but I heard your parents are there now."
Ryan rubbed his hands over his face as he was trying to listen to her, he heard the words but it was taking him a moment to process them, "No I am not made Rosalie, but I know about Vampire, I know about the mate thing. From what I can tell that is why you are so close to me right?
It isn't because you actually hold true feelings for me, like as just you. It is because your instincts push you to like me right?"
She worried her lip, he notice her eyes couldn't look at him as she looked out towards the forest, he followed her eye line and stared to. Though it was a bad idea for him to be staring out like that as his mind began to wander, and being as high as he was things seemed to click into place.
One moment he was still thinking about what Rosalie had asked, and the next he was acting as if he was a genius, mainly because he had figured out how gangs had worked, 'Gangs are controlled by a person who gets someone under them scared and then it is a trickle down effect!'
His eyes widened at his realization, "Fuck! I am a genius!" He spoke out loud.
(A/N: Not going to lie, this was literally me when I got high once.)
Rosalie shook her head she didn't even bother to ask him what genius thing he figured out, "Look Ryan, it may be true that the whole mate thing is effecting me, but isn't that something everyone would love?
I mean there is no question to my feelings about you, why can't I just act on them and show affection to you? Is that so bad?"
Ryan broke from his thoughts and shook his head, "It's not really. You know, you fight with the wolves but they have something similar. They have a mate but call it an imprint, someone they can see as a romantic interest, but they can also see them as a friend or family whatever the imprint needs.
What does you mate bond say to you?"
+++++++
(Rosalie POV)
She watched him as he looked away from her, instead of answering she listened to his words and tried to find out what her mate bond was telling her, if he was right. Closing her eyes she felt it and it hummed as she was close to him, but she tried to get a feeling if it was telling her anything specific.
Which it was, while she knew that the love and devotion was there she could feel the other stuff he mentioned, when she thought about just being his friend her mating bond was okay with it. There was no longer a constant pressure of wanting to have his full approval, instead it was adjusting knowing that he was allowing her to be apart of her life.
A bright smile took over her face, although there were slips of the stronger parts of the bond wanting her to continue to try and get him to see that they could be more, she held those parts down. For now it was just nice that she wasn't so strongly obsessed with trying to claim him as her own, she was content to being his friend.
And with Leah being his girlfriend then maybe she could be his new best friend, a smile blossomed on her face as she thought of that.
++++++++
(Ryan POV)
Ryan looked over to Rosalie and gave a soft smile at her face, she seemed a lot happier then when she originally started talking to him, which he was happy about as he did like to see her smile. It was much better then the frowning face she had earlier.
"So it works then?" He asked his smile widening.
She nodded happily at him, "Yes, it is a little bit of a struggle to keep it down but---"
"Oh, no I am sorry Rosalie I was talking to the rabbits who are currently having initiations to their gangs. I told them to offer carrots as an incentive." Ryan said pointing to the four foot pink rabbits he saw behind her.
Each was wearing a different version of a the same suit.
She shook her head laughing lightly, "Maybe you should go inside and eat now?"
He shrugged, "Yeah you are right, not like my problems can't be solved easily, well if I put the real work in for them."
"What problems? Maybe I can help." She said walking next to him as they entered the cafeteria.
"Maybe next time. For now I need to eat, thank you for the offer though." He said while leaning over to kiss the side of her head making her smile widen.
