After everything that had happened it was only natural that things between you and Nick didn't work out but they did in a way that you could hardly explain without people thinking you were crazy but what they thought wasn't what was keeping your relationship alive. With dinner ready you headed to your room when you saw that Nick had arrived earlier than he usually was, he looked tired but he would never be tired for your little jokes. "Hey big boy"

You saw him frown slightly "Hi dear". It was clear his mind was still elsewhere.

"Just that cold answer will I get?" you tried again smiling as he finally turned to look at you, his eyes roaming over you and his features softening.

"If you want something more tender get a teddy bear, not a big boy because my purpose is to make you feel me for days and no thanks to my ‘cold responses’ my darling".
