. close my eyes to escape .
There are a few things that Alec understands and a few that he doesn't. He can understand the confused and sometimes dirty looks that Embry's mother gives him whenever she sees him around the house, and he knows what the looks that the other members of the pack give him mean.
What he doesn't understand is why there's this push about marriage within the Quileutes.
He and Embry can't have children, which really nixes the only reason why he'd ever consider it in the first place; and it's not like he can or will just pack up and leave. The idea of marriage is just something he doesn't understand.
There are some lingering bitter feelings about the entire institution of marriage. If it wasn't for its existence, than he wouldn't be a vampire. He also wouldn't have met Embry, but that's beside the point. A piece of paper doesn't tell him what he already knows, and that is something easily destroyed or voided. He doesn't need a human government to tell him what defines a relationship or commitment or any shit like that.
What he knows is: He wouldn't leave or trade Embry for anything in the world. That's plenty enough for him.
FIN.
Sorry, I meant to get this up yesterday, but my idiot brother made the wireless crash. .
