What's your limit? ||Nick Burkhardt x Sean Renard||

Her lies ~Chapter 1~

Nick POV

It was a regular day at the precinct,  before I left Juliette wanted to tell me something when I get home after work. But what? Is there something on her mind? Or maybe I'm just being paranoid? I was greeted by my good partner Hank. We've been working together for years, after I told him and Wu about... Me... They've been a huge help, still humorous as ever. "Hey Nick." His voice tuned in, I already knew what was coming... "Just tell me, where do we gotta be...?" Hank smiled and gave the location we'd start heading out, but was stopped by Wuu. "Hope you guys are heading to the location." Wu chimed, "Yep." I responded "Alrighty then let's go shall we?" We'd continue on till we got to the car park Captain Sean Renard had just pulled in. He'd climb out his vehicle as he walked past he brushed against my shoulder. As we were both stopped in our tracks, Wu and Hank didn't notice my halted action, I turned to look at Sean our eyes met for a moment then took our separate paths... Why did I stop? It's just the Captain, I hurried along to catch up with Hank and Wu in the car as we'd take off to the crime scene.

After our arrival, we were directed to the body as deep claw-like-animal marks were made all over, the victim's body was torn apart as if rabid dogs attacked the man. I saw a man walking suspiciously across the pathway starring me down. I saw the man vulgar, I got Wu and Hank's attention as we walked down the same pathway as the suspect. I caught up with him to stop him in his tracks. Immediately, as per usual, the suspect would attack me for who I am, a Grimm. Hank and Wu pinned him down and cuffed him. "We'll be taking you in for questioning and of an assault of a Officer." I spoke calmly to the suspect. "Hunjager..." I muttered to his ear, he clicked and tried to get out of the cuffs but was directed to the back of a police car. Later on, we brought the Hunjager in I was watching in the observatory room with Sean. As I entered I noticed he would have locked the door behind him. Odd, not like him... Wu and Hank would be in the room questioning the suspect. "Nick." Sean spoke calmly his usual deep voice soothed his words, "Yes?" I turned to him to respond but he had already pinned me to the wall as he'd kiss me passionately his face, changed. "You're a Zauberbiest?!" I struggled from the unexpected attack as he gripped my wrists as he held me up against the window. He'd part then instantly kiss me again. He'd let me go and make his distance. "...Sorry." He'd mumble, but he didn't seem like he meant it, as if he was meant to kiss me. I kept my further distance from Sean as I learnt additional information about my 'Captain'.

Hours later, my shift had ended and I was heading home. "Juliette, I'm ho--" I'd shut the door quietly as I heard her upstairs moving and giggling, I heard another voice follow. I heard a muffled conversation as I saw Juliette appear downstairs, her hair a mess. I frowned in disbelief to what I heard next. "Juli babe, what's taking so long?!" I heard a man yell down. Juliette was giggling before she saw me. I dropped my bags. "Nick! I wanted to talk to--" I interrupted her by hitting the wall, I tried to sound as composed as possible as I gritted my teeth, tears fell down my face. "Save..I-It.." I struggled with my words. "Nick?! I-I can explain..." She'd plead, but I had enough, was her 'love' for me a... Lie? S-She never cared? "I'm leaving... When I come back here in a few days, you better be gone." I was inches from her face, I postured myself in a serious, threatening way. As I went upstairs into the bedroom and heard the man yell. "Hey!" He'd call, but I just grabbed some clothes, toothbrush, and other accessories and left slamming the door behind me. I sped off to the one place available... Sean Renard's place... Hank had family, so did Wu, Rosalie and Monroe were extremely busy. There was only Sean, I feel torn, I don't care anymore. Love of my life ripped my heart out and burnt it's love... Once I arrived I grabbed my bags as I made it to his door I slammed on it so hard, that I think I almost knocked it off it's hinges my face was stained with tears my eyes slightly puffed all emotions of sadness combined with anger. Answer the damn door... Come on, come on, come o--. It opened, the door opened I was greeted with the tall sleek Captain. He analysed my face and saw the tear stains. "Who did this?" He'd keep his calm composure. I wouldn't answer as I dropped my bags and clutched his shirt tightly as I couldn't hold back my sobbing, my knuckles were turning pale from how tight I gripped it. All I felt as his arms awkwardly wrap around me as his face rested in my hair. "So, I'm guessing you need a place to stay." He'd respond quietly, I'd nod as I buried my face into his shirt... Never thought this would be the man or... Zauberbiest I would be crying into. He gently shifted my bags with his available leg inside his hallway as he pulled me inside and locked the door behind him. "Well then." Sean huffed as he tried to detach me from him, I felt weak, I feel numb, I didn't want to feel anymore, am I that bad that she cheated on me? He'd push me down on the sofa and pull a blanket over me. My hair was soaked, oh yeah, did I forget that it was raining? He'd unbutton his shirt and head upstairs. "I'll only be a moment." He'd respond simply as he disappeared to his bedroom. I covered my head and my body with the blanket all that was visible was a bit of my face. I wanted to hide away, hide forever, to not feel this betrayal ever again. Sean returned downstairs in a new shirt and sat in a chair near me, but I didn't want to be alone, not now, why did this have to happen? I patted for him to sit next to me, he did so... I didn't know why I was doing this. Letting the man who kissed me today sit next to me, did I enjoy it too? I'd tilt and fall on my side my blanket covered head rested in his lap, I felt his warmth, his body was a hot temperature... "Nick, the Guest bedroom is under renovations so you can take my bed and I'll sleep down here." He'd talk soothingly, I'm not sure who is this man I'm talking to? Is this even my Captain? I'd mumble but all I received as a response was a small chuckle and a gentle stroke on my covered head. I feel secure, but why should I feel this way for a Zauberbiest...?
