Bear needed out of this.

He regretted making that wish with that stupid one wish willow. Nikki was insane. Sure, at first he didn't mind it. Just happy Nikki was now in love with him. And yes, maybe he was at fault for this happening.

But he still wanted out. He couldn't handle her anymore. That wasn't The Nikki he wanted to love him.

He had met you during the incident. But just before things started to get bad. He always believed himself to be straight. He's never been attracted to a man before.

But you were different.

He did tell you about Nikki and her "obsession" with him before you two started talking.

But he didn't tell you how bad it really was. And of course, he didn't tell you that it was his fault. Why would he do that? That would look bad on him.

Currently you two were sitting at a local cafe, talking over some coffee. Bear silently prayed that Nikki wouldn't find them.
