A Tunnel Of Emotions | Cw/Tw

He sat in the plane, not even knowing what to do with himself, as he looked out the window. He shouldnt be able to feel, should he?, but he felt all kinds of emotions, as he sat there, looking out the window at the clouds, slowly gliding past them, as he closed his eyes, before closing for the curtain, as he looked around in the plane. He couldnt stand it. He closed his eyes, as he took his in ear phones in, before leaning back and tried to enjoy the trip, before he found himself standing in the airport just outside of Moonlight Falls and Gaia. He gently pressed down at the nose bridge, as he started to move, as he got through security and then got his backpack, before walking out, wearing the black tight pants and a standard grey shirt, with his hand bandaged, as he had smashed it.

As he stood in the airport, he couldnt help finding a spot, as he just sat down, before looking into his phone. He didnt really know where to go. He didnt even know if the school had dropped him.. and going home, he couldnt bear the thought almost. He didnt even know if his mother was on cool, or buried, or anything like it. How had she died, was.. was it his fault. He covered his face, as he found his phone, before writing to the number Chance had contacted him on..


He got up as he walked, with the little black suit case, before finding a spot outside, as he found a joint, that looked a little like a cigarett, but not really. He didnt care, he had magic, he could always use it, if someone interefered.. he just knew deep inside, that he needed to feel himself on another plan, like way high. He exhaled as he had inhaled alot before, as he looked to the sky, waiting for an answer from Chance.

Outfit

Chance was lucky there was only on airport nearby. This way, he knew where to go to reach Nickie. He hadn't told anyone else about what happened, except the guy from the morgue who had helped Chance through what to do. He had never been confronted with death like this before. He wasn't even sure what had happened. He had just found her dead on the floor. She was a fairly old witch, wasn't she? It seemed unlikely she would die from any small thing.

He had borrowed a car from a classmate. He didn't really think about having to offer something back. He would eventually, but right now, he just wanted to be there for Nickie, even if he might not want him. He went out of the bus and looked around to see if he was there. He picked up his phone and saw the text. Chance looked back up and saw him come out of the airport. He walked over to him.

"I'll take you to her," he responded to the text. He quickly knew it wasn't just a smoke he was holding, but he was never going to judge him. "I hope it's okay I came." He just couldn't bear the thought of Nickie handling this alone. Even if they were not on the best terms right now, he still cared more for Nickie more than anyone else in his life. He wanted to be there for him whenever he could.

He could feel his hand shake, as he looked down on his phone, before taking another drag of the smoke, before he was about to write on it. When he heard the voice. He looked up, shocked to see Chance standing there, at the airport. Had he come all the way from school?, for him. He looked at him with the intense green eyes, more vivid than last, and the black curly hair, layed like a styled mess on top of his head, and a little over his forhead, as he nodded when seeing Chance. He parted his lips, before finding himself reaching out for Chance, as he grasped the fabric of his shirt, looking at him, like he didnt even know what the hell he himself was even doing?. He bit into his own lip, before letting go of him, as he walked over to him.. and hugged him.

He didnt feel all the bad feelings right now when looking at him, no he didnt feel anything, just emptyness, and then yet.. he felt desire towards him, he felt it deep inside of him, something still stirring inside. He looked up at Chance, if he had let him hug him, before breaking off the hug, as he nodded. " Please.. take me to her ". He killed the smoke, before finding a pack in his pocket, as he put it into that, before following Chance.

As Nickie followed Chance, he looked to the bus station, before looking confused at Chance, until he found himself in front of a car. Standard looking Bmw, black and sleek. He then looked at Chance. He had never taken him as someone that actually knew how to drive, but then again, he was 20 years old, so..
He got in the car, as he sat down and then looked at Chance, feeling out of place for a second, as he felt how close he actually was to him. He looked down for a brief moment, almost knowing what could have happened to his mother. The scene of how he got his heart ripped out, began playing in his head, as he just sat there.. looking like someone on a pause, before he leaned back. He didnt even care to hook the seatbelt on himself, as he felt if something happened, he might as well fly out the window. He crossed his arms, before looking out the window as they startet driving..

The trees they passed and the trafic. He leaned over and turned on the radio, before looking over at Chance, as music started to play a little, as he then looked away from him, as he started to chew a little into his lowerlip, as he felt the nervousness take over for a little while. " I didnt take you for a driver.. ". He smiled a little as he said the words, while still looking out the window. " So.. how are you ". He hadnt asked him over the phone, but there was just something, being with him.. alone in the car.. while the music played in the background.

Chance could see he wasn't the same he had been. He felt like he was partly to blame for that. The worst thing was he really wanted to explain, but he couldn't because of Luca's wish. He looked at him with a soft look in his eyes when he reached for his shirt, before he walked to him and put his arms around him. Chance embraced him and held him a little too close and enjoyed it a little too much. He was determined to be in Nickie's life in whatever form he could. If it was better for them to be friends, he would find a way to settle for that. He knew Nickie loved him, he had told him repeatedly, but love didn't always mean you should be together. And for now, he was not interested in making Nickie feel like he had to choose.

He removed his arms so Nickie could end the hug. "This way," he said, took Nickie's luggage and started to walk. He passed the bus. Averett had been so kind as to lent him the car. He was hesistant at first, but when he mentioned Nickie, he seemed to be more agreeable. He opened the trunk and put his luggage in there before going to the drivers seat and sat down. He started the car when Nickie was ready. He did notice he wasn't wearing the seatbelt. He was not going to correct him. He just had to be careful.

He didn't object when he turned on the music. He just kept driving, watching the road and traffic carefully. "I drove a lot back in France," he said looking at him from the corner of his eyes, before looking back to the road. "My mother didn't have a driver's license, so I drove her mostly everywhere." He said with a weak smile. When he asked how he was, he didn't know what to say. Shouldn't they talk about something else? "I'm alright. I missed you," he said and exhaled.

"I want to apologize for what happened. I could have handled that better. I just saw you and Luca at the field and after he had..." He couldn't even say it out loud. "I was just jealous and heartbroken. It felt like it didn't matter to you I had been gone." He blinked a few times. "I know that's not true." He didn't look at him, not only because he wanted to watch the road, but because he couldn't. "I want to be in your life, Nickie."

He had felt the long hug, and just the scent of Chance, was enough for him to just stand and not really know what to do. He listened to the story of Chance and his mother. He looked down. Chance at least had his mother, but then again.. she had left him, because of him. He didnt know why or how, but somehow, he knew it was wrong, deep inside. He looked out the window and gave a slight nod, as he heard the words coming from Chance. He looked over to Chance, as he parted his lips, before saying with a low voice, looking at him.. not even being able to look away. " I missed you too.. ". He had, he still did, even without a heart.. the feelings of wanting to see him, feel him.. they were all there, but he still felt empty, and he wouldnt hesitate to kiss someone in front of Chance, since he didnt feel in the same way as before, but.. he loved Chance, he knew that.

When he started to apologize to him, he gave a slight nod, as he heard about him and Luca in the field and after. " We didnt have sex that day.. i mean, we.. we came close, because i couldnt control it, i was so overwhelmed with feelings, i tried, but it was like.. it was like i was in love with him, like i was with you.. imagine, having another person at your side, loving that person, wanting to touch, like having two Chances in your life.. i mean Nickie´s.. ".
" It mattered to much. I thought i had killed you Chance.. ". He looked down, not feeling guilt, but he felt it deep inside, something.
He looked to Chance, when he said that he wanted to be in his life. " I have been in Amsterdam.. i´m not the same anymore Chance. I dont think you would love or like the person i am today. I have.. done stuff, and Luca found me too.. he actually came and we.. well i was top.. anyways, what im trying to say, is that we are never going to date.. ". He looked down. So he was still virgin in some things, like not being a bottom.. not that he wouldnt want that, but.. still.

He looked at the funeral home they came up to, before looking at Chance, as he said " I would love to have you.. ". He didnt say in his life, as he meant just in general, before actually getting out of the car, as he started to walk with a fast pace towards the building. He couldnt hold it in anymore.. he had to see her.. to know if it was truely her.. if he had truely killed her.

It made him happy that he had missed him. But he also sensed the change in him. He didn't know what it was or how it had happened, but he felt like he had contributed to it. And even if he tried so hard to be okay with Nickie and Luca having been together, which he just assumed they had been, it wasn't easy. He wanted to be Nickie's first of everything, and now it had all been destroyed because of Luca's stupid wish. Would he and Nickie be together if things had been different?

Chance listened as he explained how they hadn't been together. He did relate a little to what he was saying. Right until he said it was like having two Nickie's. He could never imagine that. And he didn't want two. He just wanted the one. "I'm sorry. I tried so hard to come back it was just because L..." He couldn't say anymore. He would never be able to tell Nickie what had happened on the island. He would never be able to tell how Luca had wished all those things in regard to Nickie and he would have to make them come true. He would just be forced to keep quiet about. Nickie couldn't even guess it himself. There was absolute no way Nickie could ever know the truth. Luca might be a manipulative asshole, but he was clever enough to make a wish without it having any loopholes.

Chance just heard how he explained that Luca found him. He tightened his grip on the wheel. So he had been top. And that was supposed to make him feel better? It didn't. Sex was sex. It didn't matter how it happened. Nickie was no longer virgin. "You're just casual then? Or what? I just want to understand your relationship. And don't worry about me not loving you. I will always love you." He had not much experience with casual relationships or open relationships. He still wasn't sure if he could do it.

He wasn't completely sure what he meant by that. Have him? As what? A friend or something more? But right now was not the right time to speak further of it. He walked with him inside, arriving just a moment later than Nickie. "I was here the other day." The man nodded with recognition and led them into a morgue. "I'm right here," he told Nickie. Still now, he couldn't help but imagine if Luca had ever been by his side like this. Had he ever helped Nickie through something horrible, because he cared so much about his happiness, or was Nickie just someone he could screw and then forget about? Or was he actually capable of being with Nickie in every sense of the word? Could he make him happy?

He did see the tightened grib around the wheel, as he asked him. He looked to the road for a little while, before saying " Actually no. I said i seek some more seriousness, but i think Luca actually craves me like some kind of drug, and i do to.. as long as im not serious with someone else, i like the attention and the affection. I have never had someone actually fight for me or run after me. Not to say that you didnt try, but somebody more dominant in it, i dont know. We are only friends. Luca isnt the relationship kinda guy, and i dont wanna share, more or less like that ". He looked up for a brief moment, as he had spoken so casual about it, something he hadnt been able to before now.

As he looked at Chance again, he said " It doesnt matter if you tried.. i know now that you tried and you are here.. i dont need nothing more ". He smiled to him, a genuine smile, before looking out the window for a moment, as he heard Chance say that he would always love him. " I will always love you.. ". He felt the words burn in his throat. He knew deep inside, he still loved Chance, but he didnt feel the same way right now and he knew why.

As they walked inside, he found his passport, to show he was indeed the son of his mother, but before he could do anything, Chance stepped up and said that he had been there. He was led right into the morgue, before he looked back at Chance, and then walked over to the table, as the man pulled his mother out, before taking a hold in the sheet. Nickie looked at the man, before stopping him. " Could you.. leave ". The man nodded, as he slowly himself.. uncovered the cover. When he saw his mothers face.. he felt it, instantly his world shattered. His eyes grew darker and the air around him seemed almost suffocating. He didnt know.. a heart for a heart.. would be the price.

He gently touched his mothers cheek, before a tear glided down his cheek, as he leaned over her, before saying with regret. " I didnt know.. you would be the price to pay.. for my actions.. mom im.. sorry ". He suddenly fell to his knees, before he started sobbing, as he felt it.. everything around him.. how the whole world seemed so small all of a sudden. How could it happen.. how could he have let it happen. He screamed out in anger, before bashing his already broken hand into the wall, as he closed his eyes, screaming from the top of his lunges, as the things around him started to shake a little, from the energy he got from all around him.

Chance listened as he explained how their relationship was. He wanted somebody dominant? He didn't know that. He had been so focused on not pressuring Nickie, he hadn't thought it might be what he needed. "But I didn't fight. Not hard enough. I was just busy trying to not make you feel pressured or make you feel like you had to choose. I didn't know it was the exact opposite you needed." He looked down a moment. "But maybe now isn't the right time to talk about. I want to, but so much else is going on now. Today, I'm your friend. If we want more, we can figure that out at another time." He would never not try and do what he thought was right for Nickie, and right now, he thought it was that he didn't have to focus on anything else but his mother.

Chance looked over him at smiled slightly by his words. He was happy he had finally done something right. He felt like he had done everything wrong lately. His heart beated faster when he said he too would always love him. It made him so happy to know. He reached one hand over to him, and gently put his hand around Nickie's and gave it a gentle squeeze, before placing it back on the wheel.

Chance looked at the man as he left, before he turned to Nickie as he removed the cover to reveal his mother. He just watched him carefully. He was so focused on him so he could best be there for him. This wasn't fair. He didn't deserve this. When he fell to the ground, he went over and covered her again before he sat down next to him. He didn't say anything, he just put his arm around him in a gentle embrace he could easily escaped if he wanted. He just sat with him, no words. Just them in the silence. He couldn't say anything that would make it better. All he could do, was let Nickie know he wasn't alone. And he never would be. Chance would always come if Nickie needed him.

Nickie cried into the chest of Chance, feeling like the whole world was swallowing him, and the worst feeling was, that he felt nothing as he did. He felt so empty and void, like it meant nothing to him to see his mother, but it did. He was crying, forcing himself to cry, as he felt like everything almost swallowed him, as he looked slowly up at Chance, before getting up, as he looked back to his dead mother. " I will get you back.. dont worry about that ". He held a hand where here cheek was, as he looked at the white sheet, before leaning down, gently placing a kiss on the sheet, not caring for anything. He looked at her, before gently pushing her in again, as he said " She wont be holding a funeral.. her body will belong here, frozen.. until i find a way to bring her back, its my fault.. i traided my heart... ". He looked over his shoulder to Chance, as he walked out the room, before walking over to the man, as he talked with him. He paid for her to stay there, as he then said that nobody was to open it, or ever touch it, as long as he kept paying, and the man nodded, before he turned to Chance. " let´s get out of here ".

He walked out to the car, feeling his hand more damaged than ever, and he felt angry... hurt.. sorrowful.. confused. He looked over at Chance, as he gently placed his hand over his, as he said. " I.. am to blame for her death.. i traded my heart.. i got it ripped out in Amsterdam, by the first witch. A Sinclair.. Rebekah ". He looked away from Chance and removed his hand, as he gave a small sigh, as he said. " Could you take me home... ". He meant at his mothers place.. his place. He didnt even know how Night was or if anything had happened to Night too. As they came to the house, he hurried inside, opening the door at once, with his own key, as he looked around. Everything looked completely normal, like nothing had happened. He fell to his legs, as he breathed in, feeling like he could breath again, before he heard the sound. " Nickie! ".

He looked up, only to see Night run down the stairs, as he gently hopped up almost, rubbing his head against Nickie´s, as Nickie took him into his embrace, before he got up again. He looked at Night with a smile, as he said " Have you been guarding the house.. ". Night nodded, before saying " Yes.. but i.. ". Nickie held a finger gently against the nose of the cat. " Syysh.. its not your fault, its mine Night. I did something and mom payed the price, but we will get her back, no matter what, but first.. i actually think, i need to get my heart, and while doing so, maybe Rebekah could be of help, getting my mom back.. ". He sigh, before saying " But i owe her a favor.. and i dont know what that kind of favor is ". He then looked at Chance, if he had followed with him inside, before asking with a raised brow. " Are you okay?... you are taking this.. very odd i think?. Has something happened? ". he walked over to Chance, before gently taking his hands, as he had sat Night down. " have you found someone new.. or heard from your mom? ".

Chance just held him as he cried. He didn't want him to be alone, and he didn't know anyone else than Luca who might come. Might being the key-word. He cared so much for Nickie, which made it so much tougher what he had to tell him eventually. But not now. He wanted Nickie to have time to focus on his mother. He didn't know how he was going to get him back, but he didn't doubt that he could. Witches were pretty powerful, weren't they? He stayed on the floor a moment longer before he too stood up. "You can't know for sure. Don't do that to yourself," he was about to reach for his hand when he went out of the room. Chance followed and let Nickie take care of what he needed to. He nodded when he suggested they got out of there.

Chance looked at him with mostly compassion in his eyes with a hint of sorrow and confusion. "Nickie..." He felt like it was all his fault. It was almost tragic how he could tell Nickie to not blame himself, but he could so easily do it to himself. "Of course," he said and started to drive back to the house he had only been in once. He followed him inside and was about to go to Nickie when he heard a voice. Who was here? He took a step back when the cat came running. Was it... talking? He just felt even more confusion now. Nickie was talking to a cat. How was this normal?

He looked away when Nickie asked a series of question he didn't know if he was ready to answer. Was now really the time? "I'm... It's fine." He looked at their hands when Nickie took his. "Nickie... We're not good for each other," he said not letting go of his hands, holding on as long he could. "I broke your heart and then you broke mine. You nearly died because of me and then I rejected you, again and you left." He sighed and met his gaze. "I know that it's not easy. I don't want you to choose between me or anyone else. And I am making you." He stroked his hands. "I just want you to be happy and I haven't made you happy. I've done the opposite."

He looked quite surprised when Chance said that they were not good for each other. What did that even mean?. He couldnt help but feel that there was much more to it, than just that. Maybe Chance had really found someone else?, cause it couldnt possible mean, that he had never loved him, cause the words didnt match to that. He nodded a little, as he looked at Chance and then let his hands glide out of his grib, before he walked over to him, as he gave him a gentle squeeze, as he said. " I will always be here for you Chance. I wont just leave you, and i will always love you, so dont worry about that, but if thats really how you feel, then i will accept that ". He smiled, as he gently gave him another squeeze, before gently looking into his eyes, with his now warm green eyes, before leaning forward, as he give him a gentle kiss on the side of his cheek, before he smiled genuine happy.

The only thing he had ever wanted for Chance was happiness, and he knew how chaotic his own life had been, maybe if it hadnt, maybe they would be together now?... but then again, maybe it was better like this?. " I choose you Chance, just so you know it. I choose you in the end, and made it clear for Luca too.. even if he was my mate. I´m not controlled by the mark anymore and i dont feel anger towards you ". He looked at him with a little smile, as he looked around, before saying " Now.. lets sit down and just relax a little. It sounds like we both could use some relaxation ". He laughed a little, as he walked over to the fridge, before he found some lemonade and put it on the table. He sat down, as he looked around, before looking over at Night, as he said " So what happened? ".

Night looked a little at Nickie, before saying. " She just.. dropped.. and i couldnt do anything, so i ran to the school, i couldnt find you, but i found Dove.. ". Nickie gave a slight nod, before saying. " So Dove then ask around for me, which is why you wrote to me, i assume? ". He looked over at Chance for a moment, before shaking his head, as he said. " Hm.. well i cant go back now to Amsterdam, so it seems, i will have to find myself a real job, and i should have the school paid in advance, so i will be coming back ". He looked at Chance for a moment, before asking. " if thats okay with you.. since, my room and stuff like that?. Or would you rather that i switched room with someone? ". He poured a glass of lemonade for himself, before looking a little down at his phone, before he turned his face towards Chance. " Who is Laurent? ". He smiled a little, as he studied Chance´s expression, before biting down into his own lowerlip, as he turned his phone, as to show a picture of Laurent, and a text under where it said.

[ Chance´s new boyfriend? ]

Chance had been afraid of how to tell Nickie. He knew they loved each other, and it wasn't because Chance just magically stopped doing so, but he just didn't want either of them to feel like they had. He just wanted Nickie to smile. He felt a short moment of fear that he had hurt Nickie again when he released himself from the handholding. But then he gave him that squeeze that made him feel like maybe it was for the best. But then again, Nickie didn't have his heart, or how was it? He didn't know how it worked, but maybe that was why he didn't react very strongly. "I feel the same. Like I said, I don't think it is possible for me to stop loving you. You will always be my first love." He had been so afraid this would mean he and Nickie couldn't be in each others life anymore. But it didn't seemed to be the case. He smiled by the squeeze and even more by the kiss on the cheek.

Chance felt conflicted when he said he had chosen him. But... He had waited for this for a while now, and now he had made a choice, just as Chance had chosen somebody else. "That's good, that it doesn't control you anymore." He didn't know what to say to the first part. Had he made a mistake? No. No, Laurent had still been there for him. It was him who had found him on the island, him who had been there when his father died. He didn't blame Nickie for leaving, but he had needed him, and he wasn't there. Laurent was. It didn't have to be more complicated than that. He went to the sat down with Nickie and looked at the talking cat. So freaky.

Chance listened as Night explained. "Another student told me, yes. And I just thought I would try and write. I didn't know if anyone else could get in contact with you." He looked at Nickie when he explained what he had to do. "Of course it's okay. I want to share room with you. And I'll help anyway I can. I have some money save you can borrow." He looked at the cat a moment before Nickie said Laurent's name. He didn't really reacted, until his browns furrowed when he saw the text and picture. Why was people so obsessed with gossip? Why care about who is boyfriend was? "He's someone I met a while ago." He took in a breath. "We're dating," he said. There was no reason to try and hide it. And even if he did now, Nickie would find out when they returned to the school. He might as well say it now when they were alone.

Nickie held a hand out, as he made a ' i´ll pass ' movement with his hand. " I dont need your money, but i appreciate the offer, and i will think about it, if i should ever come so far out, that i cant help but lend some here and there ". He smiled gently at Chance, before looking at his phone, as he showed it to Chance, what had been written to him and sent. He looked at the picture for a while for himself, while listening to Chance´s explain about him, before he heard the words. He chuckled a little, as he looked up and then smiled at him, before saying. " I can understand you. He looks really adorable. Stable even ". He smiled, as he deleted the picture, before looking over at Chance, as he said " So you are already dating. I´m actually happy for you.. it means that you arent lonely and that you have found someone to love, it makes me happy ".

He looked a little at Chance, before saying with a smirk. " Why not celebrate it then`?. Your new.. or almost new boyfriend ". He laughed as he took a slurp of the glass in front of him, before turning towards Night, as he walked over to the kitchen to find something for him to eat, even if they had so he could walk ind and out the house as he wanted. " I will get the neighbours to hold an eye on you Night, and feed you everyday when im not home ". He gently pet the cat, as it jumped over to him at the table. Normally he wasnt allowed, but for now he would let him. " Oh.. you could come with me to the school? ". He looked for a moment at Night, before smiling, as he said " if Chance says yes to it. Then i could pick you up tomorrow, if the school says yes to it? ". Night looked a little over at Chance, before looking at Nickie, as he said " Oh please take me with you.. i´m so lonely here.. ". Nickie looked at Chance, before picking up Night, as he walked over and said, while holding Night near him. " Say yes. Pleeeeeaaassseee! ". He laughed, as he put down Night again, before looking up at Chance with a gentle smile. " So how did you and Laurent meet? ".

Chance just nodded when he said no to his offer. That was fair. He would have done the same. He was a little surprised he didn't seem to care more - but maybe it was because of the missing heart thing. "He is," he just said. It was clear he had a type. Nickie and Laurent had some things in common. "Thank you." Maybe he should say more, tell him that he wasn't trying to replace Nickie, but that it just sort of happened. And that he did still love him. He just didn't know how yet. He had come to terms with, he might never see Nickie again, so now that he was back, he was still figuring out what that meant to him.

"That would be awesome," he said with a large smile. He was happy they could still talkg like this. He looked at the cat when he jumped on the table and Nickie petted him. He liked seeing them together like that. It was cute. He already wanted a cat, but his mother was allergic. He just looked at Nickie when he suggested Night could come living with them. Was that even allowed? Then Night spoke about being lonely and Nickie begged him. "We will talk to the principale and if he agrees, then you are more than welcome," he said and scratched Night behind his ear before Nickie put him down. "Well I was sort of stuck on a island. He's a siren, so he came to my rescue and got me back to shore and helped me get dry. And then I just left because I wanted to see..." He stopped himself and cleared his throat. "After that we met again and began hanging out together. He started at the school so I showed him around and one thing just lead to the other." He wanted to tell him more about himself, that he was not human and that his father was dead. He was going to a funeral in the next few days and he just didn't know how to feel about it.

It felt a little weird, knowing that Chance had gone and found someone new, and in such a short time?, what had it been..? a week or two only?. He looked to Chance with a smile over his lips. If he was happy then he was happy for him. He then looked down at Night, as he had begged Chance to say okay for him, afterall.. he couldnt leave him to himself all the time, and if he had to go to the school for 4 years more, then he really needed to find a solution to his problem and fast. He looked with confusion to Chance, as he said " But you cant swim?, so how the hell did you end up there? ". He tilted his head a little, as he looked at Chance waiting for an answer, before saying with a little smirk.

" Those damn sirens. Am i right?. There is really just something captivating over them ". He laughed a little, as he was hinting at Luca obviously as he said the words, before taking his chair as he sat near Chance, still with a smile over his lips. " But enough about romances and love. I wanna hear more about you, what have you been doing, how are you doing.. you look a little.. off.. has something happened while i was gone or are you just stressed maybe?. You know this is also your home, if you want it to be ". He smiled as he layed his head a little to his hand, as he supported it against the table.

Chance had only just asked Laurent to start dating this very day. He wasn't even sure if it was official yet. He didn't want to do anything to hurt Nickie, but he also needed to think about himself. And it didn't seem like Nickie cared a whole lot - but maybe he would eventually. "Well... You know at the hospital after the field trip when I disappeared? I ended up in a box. It looked just like my room back in France and well.. Long story short, I'm not human." He knew he was not saying much, but he just could speak a lot about it, and it was maybe better to just answer any questions Nickie might have.

"Yeah..." He just said. He still wasn't a fan of Luca. He had just proved he really was an asshole who didn't want what was best for Nickie and that annoyed him beyond belief. He smiled at him when he asked directly if something had happened. "I appreciate it," he said. His smile fainted a little and he looked away from him. "I shouldn't make it about me..." He scratched his neck. "My mother is coming back." He sighed, afraid what she would do or say when she did. "My father died," he said and shook his head. He stood up and walked away. He was feeling strange about it, because how could you be sad about losing anyone you didn't even know?
