Nyx had made up with Willy. That was fine. Hex had all but shoved Nyx at the sidhe. He saw him getting sad. He could smell his misery. All he wanted was for Nyx to be better. To be loved.

And he was pleased when he came over to note the scent in the air had changed a bit. He could smell them both and smiled.

The smile faded fast as he lifted the folder.

"The reason I've come," he said, showing Nyx as he walked in and then closed and locked the door.

"Keep that locked at all times, yeah?" he said firmly. "You've been busy, so I haven't bothered you, but you can know now. Sit?"

He nodded at the sofa, knowing this was going to upset Nyx.

Nyx followed without hesitation, trusting Hex blindly, as he often did.

"Going to give me a hint?" he asked as they walked.

"It's beautiful," Nyx smiled, glancing around. "I love it."

Reaching for Hex's hand, he gave it a soft squeeze.

Nyx walked with him, listening- Though part of him was trying to ignore the little voice inside him wondering where his next fix was coming from. A drink, maybe? A little hit. A toke, perhaps?

It made Hex's words fade into white noise.

He pulled out his cigarettes and lit one.

"I don't mind at all," Nyx said, pushing up on his toes to kiss Hex's cheek, then taking a drag off his cigarette.

"Hex, love, don't overthink it. Go get your ice cream, I'll be here. We can worry about moving on when we're ready to move on," Nyx said softly.

Nyx, however, was just wandering in the garden, smoking and admiring the flowers. This strange slice of what was almost home, in the place he'd chosen to settle in- And none of it felt right. Nowhere ever felt right. Sometimes Nyx felt like he'd never find a place to call home, doomed to be out of place no matter how hard he tried to settle.

Nyx hadn't gone far though, and there was no one else around.

"What are you shouting about?" he asked, coming around from the small bush that might have obscured him from Hex's view.

"No thanks. ...And honestly, Hex, I'm stronger than I look. You don't have to worry, yeah?" Nyx said gently.

"I can guess," Nyx said. "You act like I've never driven a man half-mad with lust for fun before. I know exactly how brutal they can get, I've heard the threats, seen the looks in their eyes..."

"You're sweet," was all Nyx said to that, leaning over and kissing Hex on the cheek again. "Just relax. Enjoy your ice cream."
