[Alec wasn't going to argue with the first. Anthony always saw the best in people and what was wrong with that? Also there wasn't anything wrong with seeing him as an obligation because that was part of being a nice person. If it stung, it was on him.

The latter wasn't as difficult to argue though it made him feel that maybe Fell had the right of it. He was a dog. Like Nanna in Peter Pan. Always picking up after this idiot's disasters. Normally Alec would let it go but this was more important than that]

I'm not telling you to change who you are or even what you should do- But it's part of caring about people and truly knowing and understanding how they feel. Don't take it for granted that he loves you and let it be the end of it, but discover who he is and what upsets him-- what he does when he's upset. How he hides it. I'm sure he's looking at you just as closely.
