"well you, since you're cool as hell. the gay brother sounds appealing, too." he thought out loud, twirling his fork between his fingers.
he eventually took another bite, waiting for her response.

She nearly choked on her pancakes, eyes wide as she fought back her blush. She was a flirt and used to others flirting with her, so why were Nik's words affecting her like that?
She chose to blame his second statement for her reaction. "I'm sure Wolf would appreciate it," she said with a cough, trying to clear her throat from the deadly food.

"his name is wolf? i'm… not sure whether to say that's badass or to call him a furry."

She laughed, thankful he hadn't said anything about her reaction. "It's technically Wulfric, but we call him Wolf."

"who is his mother? honestly, i just want to talk." he mimed rolling up his sleeves, adjusting his cap like he was going to fight.

Tessa snorted. "Honestly? Never met the chick. I don't like her, and she don't like me. A mutual dislike that keeps us happily apart. Cin's other siblings are Isla, Rhydar, and Magnus."

he murmured to himself for just a second, counting up. "4 siblings? that's insane, i could barely handle one."

Tessa nodded her agreement. "Isla isn't around much–and doesn't like the twins, so she's basically out of the picture. Rhydar is the second oldest back acts like a five-year-old and is a proud thief. Magnus babysits Rhydar. Cin and Wolf just kinda hang around and do whatever."
She finally broached the subject of him choosing her. "So…you'd rather have me, eh?" she asked with a smug smirk, feigning a cockiness she strangely didn't feel for once.

"indeed. few have breached the 'quick fuck' wall into 'maybe i could have an actual functioning relationship with this person', so congratulations." he got an expression that resembled the one he gave the politician, half-lidded eyes and a faint grin.

Her lips parted slightly as she looked at Nik, speechless for once. He's fucking with me, came the sudden and ever-present thought that showed up whenever she found anyone that showed a legitimate interest in her. She bit her bottom lip and narrowed her eyes. "If you're messing with me…"

"i don't mess around when it comes to this, liebling. this is indeed your local sewer rat showing genuine interest in you." he winked, sticking the tip of his tongue through his teeth.

She rolled her eyes, a smile growing. "You forget, I'm a street rat and murderer. You make it sound like I'm this great person." She still was hesitant to believe him, having been duped far too many times for her to let go of her suspicion.

he looked at her, tilting his cap up.
"i don't forget, i admire you for making a living for yourself. we're the same age, y'know? both 19, and one of us goes without eating for weeks at a time, and the other is living comfortably, murder sometimes involved. i've got stars in my eyes, mein liebe."
speaking of, his bright blue eyes shone with a determination to convince her.

She shook her head. "The only reason I have a living such as this is because of the Rawling family. I was about to be executed before they 'convinced' them to let me go." She averted her eyes from his face, also determined to keep her heart closed. Her last relationship hadn't exactly ended well…

"you have allies." he said softly, touching her hand gently. "that's always good."

She didn't pull back, nor did she say anything else. Her teeth clamped on her bottom lip as she darted her gaze over to Nik.

he flushed, ears and neck going pink as he looked quietly back at her. this was the most… relaxed? gentle? the most off-guard and completely vulnerable he had appeared since they met, and he was hoping to god it'd help.

She noticed how relaxed and vulnerable he was, and she really realized he was serious.
She turned her body so that she was fully facing him. "Prove it, " she challenged softly, just to see what he'd do.

"prove..?" he seemed to realize a moment after. he summed up all his courage, lifting her hand to place the lightest kiss on her knuckles before pulling her into a hug.
he hugged her loose enough so that she could get away at a moment's notice, but tried to say what his vocal chords
couldn't.

She was startled, to say the least, but quickly recovered and hugged him back. She buried her face in the crook of his neck, releasing a heavy sigh that sounded like a giant weight has just been lifted from her shoulders.

nik was absolutely fucking delighted she had reciprocated, beginning to hum the end of the song he had started last night.

(i was gonna type the lyrics but my computer said i think the fuck not so,,)

(Lmao)
She smiled slightly when she recognized the rhythm. "That song from last night, " she whispered.

"mhm. popular old french song my mother loved." he whispered back. "it's called la vie en rose."

She was going to respond but was interrupted with the sound of her phone ringing. She sighed and reluctantly pulled back. "Have' ta get that…" she grumbled, then got up and headed over to her desk and picked up the phone. "Ciao."
"Hunt. I need you here asap."
Tessa scowled. "Alex, can this wait? Now's not the time."
"No it can't. One of the instructors called in sick last minute and I need you to help me. Do you remember to choreo?"
"No! Of course I don't remember it! Since when do I ever remember it?"
"Fine, fine. That works. But I need you here. Pleeeeaase??"
She glanced over to Nik as she answered. "Alright, but only for a little bit."
"Great. A little bit is all I need from you."
She hung up and ran her fingers through her hair. "Work beckons."

"as i figured. tight schedules, we have. what is it this time?" he got up, arranging himself.
