Vlad's Links
One of the few people Vlad surrounds himself with. Alister is a lot like Vlad, personality-wise. Which is why Vlad is ok with his company. Yet he knows Alister gets himself into trouble a lot. Thinks it's stupid, but it's more worrying(won't admit that). Again, Vlad doesn't have many people he's ok with, so possibly losing one isn't ideal. Also hates Alister's bad habits like smoking and involvement with drugs and will throw any of that stuff he finds on Alister away.
—————————
Since living together (against Alister’s will), he’s grown a lot closer to Alister. He’s made coming home something…to actually look forward to. Alister’s presence has actually made the place feel LIKE a home again. They bicker here and there, but at the end of the day Vlad would do just about anything for Alister and wants to make as many happy memories with him as they can. Maybe selfishly hope they outweigh the bad ones Alister has…Safe to say that Alister is stuck with the ferret now since Vlad would feel too anxious otherwise. Alister claims to feel like a burden, but Vlad feels just as depended on him as Alister “does to him”. Alister has truly become his comfort person and is beyond honored to be told he’s Alister’s comfort person too.
They share about three classes together. The only person who gets into more fights than Vlad is Ruby. He knows she's hotheaded, but doesn't know why. He's heard rumors that it's because she comes from a dysfunctional family, or whatever. Doesn't know if the rumors are true, doesn't plan to ask. But does like her "doesn't take shit from anyone" attitude. Since he sorta has one of his own, but surprisingly more controlled. Who knows, if these two got to chat, they might become friends. But Vlad gets that making a buddy might be something Ruby isn't dying to do, but quite the opposite. He's fine with just being a silent classmate.
Outside of the classes they share, she's occasionally seen him waiting by the disciplinary office. Knows he gets into fights because of bullies, does respect that it's because he's just standing up for himself. He seems ok, but Ruby isn't interested in making any friends. So she'll stay out of his way, and hopefully he'll stay out of her's.
Vlad and Conway have a complicated love/hate relationship. Conway always teases Vlad on everything. Him being Percy's second best friend, being transgender, his love life, personality, etc. They seem to disagree on everything. Though it seems like these two completely hate each other, Conway would stand up for Vlad and stick with him through tough times. When things get serious, Conway tries his best to find a way to cheer Vlad up, just like Percy.
Conway loves making fun of Vlad whenever he can. Teasing him is the best, his reactions are so amusing. He may make fun of Vlad all the time, but Conway hates it when others bully him. Conway never means what he says, but he knows those bullies mean every word. So that pisses him off. Will fight anyone that makes fun of Vlad. "I'm the only one that makes fun of him, got it?"
Absolutely hates her. Would even go as far as saying he regretted ever being her friend. Feels utterly betrayed and abandoned by her, refuses to even look at Ash. She was the reason why he became so distrusting of others.
Feels regret whenever she thinks of him. She abandoned Vlad during a very dark part of his life and regrets it to this day. Can't fathom how she could ever get him to forgive her, doesn't think she deserves it. But, she really wants to go back to the days when they used to hang out all day.
“…Cute. Really cute.” Will be making him his personality. A proud raccoon papa. He’s so touched that this wild animal has grown to trust him so much. He hopes to be able to grow closer to the little guy. Is that selfish?

Basically his brother. As cousins closest to each other in age as they are in their family; it’s not a surprise that they’re close. Though Nathan sometimes exhausts Vlad with his childish behaviors, he truly loves his cousin and is so grateful to have him in his life. He’s been so supportive to Vlad and no words could possibly express how much he treasures his cousin for it. He’ll always be willing to help Nathan and look out for him. Because their whole family knows that though Nathan’s the older one of the two, Vlad’s the one that’s gotta look out for Nathan. It’s a job he’s willing to take on.
Pretty much was intimidated by him from the start. The man’s so damn tall. But he never got the sort of vibe that Arthur was MEAN. So, with time Vlad eventually got over that intimidation. Arthur’s a fair boss to be working for and he’s gotten comfortable enough to slightly tease the man, mostly over the woman who got him the job in the first place. Even he could see what was brewing. Has thought of Arthur as “dense” ever since. Best believe he was gloating and smug when news those two being an item became known.
