Pre-Milliways

The man entering Milliways might be familiar to some of you.

Possibly.

Anyone know Nick Knight?

Yeah. Except bloody, with a knife in his teeth.

Whoops?

Simon Grady is not Nick, but only he knows that, right now.

Aheheheh.

"I can feel... something different... you? Is this like when you can tell if I'm upset?"

He leans into Nick.

"Love you. It feels... odd, but... right."

[eternal-boy.livejournal.com]

Nick nods.

"Yes."

And he can almost see the connection between them, almost taste it and feel it...almost touch it.

He nods. And leans into Alex.

And turns to Thom, with a slight wince.

"Sorry."

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

*blinks at him* Oh, were you rude? I didn't notice.

[eternal-boy.livejournal.com]

Nick twitches an eyebrow.

"Droll. Very."

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

*Thom crosses his legs, propping his chin up on the back of his hand.* I lived to serve.

[eternal-boy.livejournal.com]

"Obviously."

Nick turns away, to Alex, and looks at him carefully.

"Are you better?"

[theprettiestone.livejournal.com]

He nods, leaning against Nick.

"Yeah. Sorry I freaked. He just..."

[eternal-boy.livejournal.com]

Nick looks to Alex.

"It's okay. I know how disturbing He is."

A small, nervous laugh.

"I...He lives in my head. I'm...well aware."

[theprettiestone.livejournal.com]

He shakes his head.

"Not him. Simon."

[eternal-boy.livejournal.com]

"Oh."

And he nuzzles at Alex's cheek.

"What did he...what did he do?"

[theprettiestone.livejournal.com]

"I thought he was you at first, another you, like the others. And then when I said my name he... I don't know, he freaked. He said something about having wanted to talk to me for a while, about getting him out of the mess he was in. Didn't believe me when I told him I didn't know what he was talking about."

[eternal-boy.livejournal.com]

"Well...I've never called myself anything but Nick. The last name changes but...always Nicholas."

He sighs.

"And I don't like him. He...he smells of blood."

[theprettiestone.livejournal.com]

He nods. "'Kay. Always Nicholas. S'easy to remember."

[eternal-boy.livejournal.com]

A small smile.

"I should hope so."

[theprettiestone.livejournal.com]

A soft kiss, pressed to his neck.

"Love you..."

[eternal-boy.livejournal.com]

He leans into the kiss, eyes half closed.

"Love you too."

Are you all right?

[theprettiestone.livejournal.com]

I'm okay. Just kind of shaken, like I said.

[eternal-boy.livejournal.com]

He sighs.

"Room?"

Another sigh, this one with a wry grin.

"And I wish I was saying that with a much bigger grin...and maybe my hand on your ass."

[theprettiestone.livejournal.com]

Another kiss.

"Wouldn't say no to either suggestion, really..."

[eternal-boy.livejournal.com]

And he gets what he asked for.

And a kiss.

There's a smile...

"Love you, kitten."

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

*Thom, still there . . .

Says nothing.

Does nothing.

Is quite neutral.*

[theprettiestone.livejournal.com]

Poor Thom. Nobody seems to notice he is there. :(

"Love you..."

Take me upstairs?

[eternal-boy.livejournal.com]

Nick nods and then looks to Thom.

"You'll excuse us?"

And then he picks up Alex shoosh, Alex, I'm being *male* about it and starts heading up, amazingly not hitting anything considering his nose is deep in the crook of Alex's neck.

[theprettiestone.livejournal.com]

I love you, you big goofy puppy-man vampire.

And they're gone.

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

*After Nick and Alex have left, Thom gets up, looks at the stairs for a while . . .

. . . and walks quietly away.*
