I'm left laughing to myself a bit. I kinda hope he doesn't leave again... I sigh looking at the time. I'm already late for work by 5 minutes... not that I'm going anyway. I can't today. After what happened. The phone rings. Buzzing around on my nightstand. It's graves. I'm not answering. I grab my phone and shove it in my back pocket. I walk out my bedroom, Nacht is standing near the door with the bat hanging over his shoulder.
"I reckon ya want me to take a hike yeah?" His words are cold, rusty. I really don't want him to leave. I have no idea why I suddenly care about him so much.
"No!.. I mean.. the others may come after you.. I don't want them to-"
He snickers placing his bat down.
"Good ta hear"
I'm stuck at first. Man he likes to interrupt. He glances at his own phone.
"Donchta got somewhere to be kitten?" I'm pretty sure he's talking about the cafe. I just shake my head, my brows furrowed. Another buzz goes off from my phone. Graves again. I cancel the call. And set it on the coffee table. I sit down, breathing heavy. I don't think I can escape this. I either go to work and face everyone. Or I do that later and talk to Nacht about what happened. He has some explaining after what graves said, if that was even true. I already made up my mind. I'm not going in today. I need to talk to Nacht. My eyes follow the window for a bit till I feel the couch sink down. Either Mochi got a lot heavier or it's Nacht. I turn my head. It's Nacht. He's looking at me with an expecting expression. I have to do it now. I need answers.
"What was Graves going on about... yesterday" I say quietly, a pained expression in my eyes. Nacht takes a large sigh and leans in a little.
"Long story, sure ya up for it kitten?"
I nod my head. We have all day of course I want to hear it.
"Welp, as ya heard him say I was using you, and it was true I ain't gonna lie, was gonna steal this place right outta yer hands." I'm taken a back a bit. Seriously? And I fell for it?
"After some time with ya though I kinda had seconds thoughts. Don't get me wrong I hate Graves and those cafe strays. But ya seem to open my eyes a bit, yeah?" What's he going on about?
"Maybe it just cuz I'm living with ya, maybe cuz ya came sobbing in my arms once." Ohhh, that's hard to hear still.
"Ya caught my eye kitten" he winked
"I ain't after your little coven here anymore" my eyes sadden, I'm honestly touched.
"I may be after somethin else though..." whatever he just said was so quiet I can't hear it.
"What was that last part?"
"Oh nothin important"
There's a long pause. Maybe I should just tell him how I feel... I'm not even sure I know what I feel either.
"Nacht. I hated you before too, you tried to kill me and my friends the first time we met! But I don't know anymore... you changed a lot."
He has a hard time looking at me as I say this. Is he embarrassed?
"I can't hate you anymore... I like having you around.. I like coming home to your cocky little comments. And it's stupid I know but i.... !!!"
What.
What!
Is he?
Kissing me!?
Nacht pulls me into a large embrace. His lips are cold. But its nice. I feel satisfied? Is this what I wanted? Do I... do I love him!? I can't believe it came to this but it did. I'm shocked at first. But I learn to breath through my nose, close my eyes, and kiss the big idiot back. This isn't gonna work, but I don't care. I have to admit to myself. I love him.

AWWWW how sweet! Sorry it's pretty fast paced. Also update: I may only do like 1 chapter a day now. I'm heading into finals week for school and I'll be busy studying. Sorry for the short chapter as well. After I'm done with this story I'll write more with the other characters.
