It was actually not that pleasant that Chris was his sole roommate. While he was just as fanatic about David as the rest, he was also really bratty. He never kept his distance. All physical contact was done after getting permission, but that was not all that he did. He liked to strut around nearly naked and flaunt his body. That gyrating show he put on when he buried the pit made frequent appearances in the night. David could not take his eyes off of him. "Why do you keep doing that!?" he asked. "You love it." was the answer. It told David that he was not getting respect for his autonomy and space. One night, David was lying on his bed waiting for day to come. It was something that he was already used to doing. Usually, he just looked up to the ceiling and waited. Chris was on a bed on the opposite side of the room, trying to get his attention. He said "C'mon. You have to watch me. I wanna start my show" he said as he started to sway his hips. David blinked and turned his body to face him. Chris smirked, starting up his show. There was just something really mesmerizing about it.
Chris said "I'm just a peach, so I don't need to go to sleep. But you hardly ever sleep either and you're supposed to be human." David just shrugged and said "Listen. I'm a Devil. That's all it is." Chris shook his hips a bit faster. You could tell that he was not convinced. "Maybe. But you only ate one of us at the tree. Bitey got a bite out his ass. As far as Devils go, you're pretty weak." the peach refuted. "Compared to other Devils? That's fine. I don't want to be found out too quickly." Devils that were found were hounded and then purged. David certainly did not want that to happen. When things happened, it would be too late to do anything. Chris was not going to get off his bed. David sat up with his legs hanging off the edge in response. The short peach just said "Can you let me hold you? Just for a moment. I promise." David just shook his head and Chris sucked his teeth. He continued to shake his hips and gyrate. It was a very lewd and crude gesture. He leaned in David's ear and said "No matter what happens in this world, you know that I'll protect you." David could believe he meant it.
Doing that was unacceptable to him. "No. If something happens, you have to run. I don't want you to die." David told him. Alec just shook his head. "I can't do that, Joe. I am your peach. Without you, I don't have anything for myself. You know that!" he admitted. David was a really good person deep down. He leaned back to get a better look at his face. Chris was dead serious. If only he would stop his stupid little show. Then David could actually take him seriously. "After we start getting some expeditions under our belt, we can make another tree. Then I can eat the peaches and get stronger than them. If the tree's in a public area, it'll be hard to trace to me." David promised. Even that was not a fool proof plan. Sages could suss him out with basic competence. There were other trees that could be traced to him. The one at their master's forge was a prime example of this. He was the only Player there when it was planted. David even told his master about it. If Chris's mental outburst was to be believed, there were 2 other trees coming. Both Alec and Alex hid a fertilized pit.
