Nyx sat down beside him, and shrugged. "I don't know." He replied honestly. "I…" He shrugged again, a soft laugh leaving his throat. "I really have no idea."

"Hm," Jude murmured, "Travel, maybe?" There were hundreds of places Nyx could go. Jude had already conquered major cities throughout Europe in his college 'soul searching,' and hitchhiking days, and he knew a few places he might like.

Nyx perked up a little bit. "That would be amazing! But…" he deflated, "I don't have any money to do that with. And I can't really fly. I don't know how it would affect me."

"You could sail." Jude suggested, "Trains, driving…hitchhiking?" He thought about the road trip he and his buddies took across the tri-state after graduating high school, and then all the new friends he made in Europe through broken French, Italian, and German. "It's not as bad as you think. You make a lot of friends."

Nyx shrugged a little bit, and thought for a moment. "I suppose I would have to just figure it out. But…I've also had no education. I have no degrees, for anything. Finding a job would be difficult."

Jude nodded, but perked up with a half-serious idea, "You could be a vlogger or a blogger." He laughed, imagining Nyx in a little french café writing about his experiences in Paris, or wherever he'd been. "That might work." He shrugged, smilling again.

Nyx frowned a little. "A…what?" he asked slowly, cocking his head at Jude and watching him carefully. He had no idea what those two words meant.

"A vlogger, someone who records their adventures, or just daily life to viewers on youtube." He smiled, imagining Nyx holding a camera high up as he walked through busy streets, then somehow finding himself there with him, waving at the camera. Jude shook those thoughts away, because I can't have them. "A blogger is someone who does, like, weekly updates, writing about whatever they're up to and publish it on their own page."

Nyx swallowed, and nodded. "Hm." He darted a glance at Jude. "That sounds interesting." He replied with a faint smile.

Jude nodded, stealing another look at Nyx when he wasn't looking, "I think they'd enjoy seeing you smile at everything." He knew he did, and was positive that his laugh could make anyone smile. The sun was moving slowly to the horizon, and the golden-pink hues drifting through the sky trailed like cigarette smoke and the air rolling gently through the tallgrass field smelled like dew.

Nyx let out a laugh at that. "That or they'd be annoyed." he replied with a smile, eyes studying the sky, taking in its colors and all that beauty.

"Annoyed?" Jude said, fiddling with a stalk of wild wheat and bumping Nyx's shoulder with his own, "Why would they be annoyed?"

Nyx shrugged. "Because I'd be smiling all the time. And that annoys some people." he replied, glancing shyly over at Jude and giving him a quick smile.

"Oh really?" Jude emphasized, "What people? Tell me who gets annoyed." He sighed, catching Nyx's fleeting smile and wishing he could kiss it when it appeared again.

Nyx shrugged. "People are annoyed by strange things sometimes." he replied. "Doesn't mean it's logical." It isn't logical that I want to kiss you again so bad, but yet here we are. His brain added, and he sighed softly.

"Life isn't meant to be logical." He scoffed, smiling, "I wasn't a logical decision, and my father's annoyed by me." Jude twisted the stalk in his hands into little knots, "Nothing we do in life is logical."

Nyx took a deep breath, wrinkling his nose. "I'm afraid that might be a problem, then." He replied. "Seeing as how the mechanical part of my brain runs on logic."

"Really?" Jude teased, smirking and turning to face him better, "So everything you do and feel…logic is behind all that?" He wanted Nyx to kiss him, or for himself to kiss Nyx to prove his own statement wrong..or prove it. Either way, they'd kiss.

"I didn't say everything!" Nyx protested. "Just…I don't know." He shrugged slightly, looking at Jude a little shyly.

"I'm only teasing…" Jude said bumping his shoulder again playfully, "No one knows, really. Everything in life, I think is illogical." Everything except the idea of you.

Nyx smiled. "Mhm." He took a deep breath and looked at the sunset again. At the gorgeous colors that were painting themselves across the sky.

Jude sat, sunken in the grass with Nyx watching the sunset, the grass and ground around them growing cooler by the minute. He was craving touch, and tapped Nyx's foot with his own absentmindedly, wanting to just move around and squirm.

Nyx glanced at him at the tap, and bit his lip a little. He…he wanted to kiss Jude again. He really did. He swallowed, and looked at the sun again, at the sunset and the beautiful colors.

(They should totally kiss again soon…but when??)

(idk? sayin something cute? idk what if theyre like pushing each other and they push and whoosh roll down a short hill and nyx kisses him?)

The sun was nearing its peak in the late day, the golden hour slowing to an end, welcoming bright hues of purple, pink and orange. Jude smiled at a stolen glance of Nyx watching the sun, a hazy and dreamlike feeling tainting the air.

(yussss the last one is perfect!)

Nyx rolled his shoulders a little bit, smiling as he looked at the sunset, smiling happily and quite unable to stop. Not that he wanted to in the first place.
