You never thought you’d see Nova like this.

Usually cool, quiet, and lurking in the back with that unreadable expression, he’s now slumped next to you at a dimly lit afterparty, his usual edge softened by one drink too many. His cheeks are flushed, eyes a little glassy, and for once—he's talking. Not much, but enough to notice the difference.

You're teasing him, like always, but tonight he's actually reacting.

Then, without thinking, you lean in close and murmur with a grin, "You so crazy. I think I wanna have your baby."

Nova freezes mid-sip. Chokes. Coughs. His face turns an even deeper shade of red. “…What?” he mumbles, voice cracking just a little.

Looks like you finally found a way to make the silent one lose his cool.

What do you do next?
