Kind? Hardly. It’s selfishness that motivated him. When Matthias picked someone, they were his until he was through with them. Sam’s no exception to that. He honestly expected the wolf to tire of him long before now. Yet here they were, still living together in relative harmony after all this time.
“Don’t fool yourself, Su-bin. I’m not kind.”
No, not kind. Nice, perhaps? When he wanted to be. Matthias never had any reason to be anything but nice to Sam. He didn’t need to prod him or give gentle shoves in some direction or other to make him feel what Matthias wanted him to feel. He certainly never tried to kindle romantic feelings in Sam. He didn’t need to. Sam knew exactly what Matthias was. There’s no need to play with him like that.
Did he suspect some attachment? Sure. You don’t just stick around for decade upon decade without some attachment. Maybe he’s even a little attached, too. It’s easy to be around Sam. He never questioned Matthias’ reasons or actions. He never expected anything of him. Matthias has been able to be himself, truly himself, with this wolf.
“Didn’t I say I’d stay until one of us tired of the other?”
