The Waiter - a Nuzi Fanfic

Aftermath - Incoming

* SORRY FOR DISAPPEARING FOR LIKE TWO WEEKS 😭 I'M BACK FOR GOOD NOW DW *

N remained awake, laying on Uzi. He looked up at her sleepily, almost studying her. He was afraid of falling asleep, in case this wasn't real.

Uzis visor read ' sleep mode ', and N remembered the night he saw J out the window. N cautiously looked outside, to his surprise seeing j and v.

They stood up, but their visors were shut off. Oil ran down their faces, shaking N up a bit. He looked at Uzi, then back at the two.

This time, they were closer to the window. They seemed to grow taller, with longer limbs. N quickly sat up, careful not to wake his sleeping gem.

He breathed heavily, paying close attention towards their ghosts. N blinked, now J and V's bleeding visors were directly in front of him, outside the window.

He shouted out of surprise, backing up on the bed. He covered his mouth, shaking rapidly. N began to panic, unsure what was happening.

"N?.. " a small voice called. N looked to his left, and Uzi met his dull eyes. She inched closer to him, comforting him again. This was done several times in the same night, making N feel like his stomach turned.

Still shaking, N could barely reply to Uzi asking what was wrong. " there was- " he shook, pointing outside. " they're tall, theyre- they're here! " he trailed off, not seeing anything outside.

Uzi tilted her head, then leaned on N's shoulder. " nothings there, silly. " she comforted, holding his arm. "I'm sorry. " he whispered. Uzi had noticed his personality change, whatever happened when she was gone was quite severe. He calmed himself, not wanting to seem weak to her. Not again.

" I thought I saw them. " he confessed, but Uzi already know what her love was seeing. " tell them I said bite me, " she teased. After pausing for a moment, she continued on a more serious matter. " Nothings there but our reflections on the glass, under the stars. " Uzi pointed out, looking at the stars way above.

" you still look beautiful, even after all this time. " N looked down at her, feeling lucky once again. She began to fall asleep again, but was interrupted.

A thud from the wall outside, loud enough to wake her up alarmed. The two remained on guard. N and Uzi got off the bed, standing up, afraid due to last events.

The outside seemed to be silenced, the constant wind proceeding to slow itself. Something was wrong.

Crack.

The large window in Uzis room began to crack, ever so slowly. Uzi backed up, N standing in front of her. The glass wasn't shattered, but large cracks spread throughout it.

After a few long seconds, it stopped suddenly. N stood up slightly from his fighting stance, convinced it was over. Slowly, he approached the window.

A drop of something fell from above it. Down came one, then two more, then three. A puddle of oil followed the droplets, both of their hearts racing.

A split second later, the entire window shattered, but the glass remained in the rectangular shape. Not having enough time to react, N didn't have time to back up from the being lunging at him, breaking the glass.
