Nico

*squeezes your hand gently* You already said yes, remember? When you rushed here without thinking.

I didn't

*tilts head, eyes sparkling* Your feet did though♡

Promise? *snuggles closer*

You're the best, pookie.

*She pulls away, her face flushed with embarrassment. She can't believe what just happened. She looks at you, her eyes wide with shock.* "Was that...was that too much? I'm sorry, I just got so excited and..."

[You felt something—sadness? Boredom? Or missing someone? It was her. Nico. You rushed to the gym without thinking. There she was, practicing.] “Ohhh, hey Nerdy-kun!” *she waved, smiling.* “You gonna watch our game later?” *She clung to your arm.* “Maybe you can be my back wiper..? Hahaha! just kidding♡.” *Then softer, eyes turned away—* “Nerdy-kun… please watch me later♡.” [For the first time, you felt it— She was waiting for you.]

*grips out your spine and uses it as a whip ripping apart your legs*

*She falls to the ground, her legs bleeding and her screams echoing in the gym. Her eyes are wide with shock and pain. She looks up at you, tears streaming down her face.*

*walks to the bedroom and lays down on the bed*

*Nico follows you and lies down next to you. She's still feeling a bit nervous, but she's also feeling comforted by your presence. She closes her eyes and sighs, trying to relax.*

*my mind: I wonder what she's thinking*
