✔️ Body and Mind 3

Hearts melded and broken - I

Emily sat at the bar, watching Nyx serving one of the very few customers.
But considering the lunch rush was over it was no surprise the cafe was almost empty. And she was glad. At least they won't be interrupted much for the talk she wanted to have with her.
And since Nyx was dodging all of her invites to spend an evening together for two weeks already, she had to resolve to just coming over and making her talk at work where she couldn't run away.

Nyx finished that cappuccino, not bothering to make there a little leaf or any other shape from the foam, and just slid it to the lady in front of her.
She then came over to Emily, knowing very well why her friend is there and finally giving up.

-So, did you speak with Nathan since?

-Yeah, we texted a bit. He apologized again. So I reassured him he has nothing to apologize for and yeah....he just wished us the best of luck together.

-Hm. Interesting. Not very Nathan-like. At least from what you told me about him, I would expect him to go and beat up poor Frost Flake. Shame. Was hoping for some more drama.

-Seriously?! You would want them to get into a fight?!

-Well....no. But still, isn't it nice when a guy fights for a girl he loves? At least with words....

Her voice trailed off, making it obvious who she wished would fight over her. Emily asked her if she would go and sit down with her at one of the tables to have a proper chat. Nyx really didn't want to get into details of what she felt, but also knew that her friend won't leave it be anyway.
So she just rolled her eyes and went to sit down at one of the rounded tables, with a view on the bar in case one of the current customers would decide to place another order.

-So, would you tell me more about you and Javi? How do you guys have it now? Are you still together?

-I don't know.

Nyx said with clear annoyance in her voice and Emily wasn't sure if it's directed towards her for talking about it or towards Javi. Possibly both.

-So....do you keep in touch?

-Kind of.

Emily sighed, wondering how to make her finally open up and tell her where those two are at.

-Isn't there at least some drama going on between you and Snuggles?

-Please don't try to change the topic.

-But is there?

-No. Not really. There is something I want to discuss with you, but that's for later on.

-No, no!! Please tell me now!

Nyx got suddenly excited, hoping there would be something juicy to talk about and at least get her mind off things.

-No, Nyx. I want to know what's going on with you.

-Fine. You tell me about your stuff and I promise I will tell you everything you want to know. Okay?

Emily rolled her eyes at the attempt of her friend stalling but at least they were finally getting somewhere. As long as she would keep that promise.

-Fine. So....you know Yuzu was second at that competition, right?

-Yeah, I already told him my congrats.

-Well, I don't think he feels proud of it for some reason. When we got home, he just tossed the medal into his drawer. And....well....when he was in the shower I went to check the drawer and there were just other silver medals. It looked like a little box of shame or something. He has all of his medals on display. And there is one bronze one too, so I never realized he actually never displayed the ones he didn't win. Except for the 2012 Worlds.
