Chapter 29 Stew

• DOMINIC •

"So what's the game plan?" I ask Nic before I put a spoonful of beef into my mouth. Enjoying the savoury flavour.

"Well, dont really know. The bottom line is following and finding but I dont really know how we'll do that especially without getting someone killed. At the end of it all, I care about safety more than anything." He tells me and I nod watching him take another bite from his soup. Seeing as there was more people living in town, Maria and the rest made a huge pot of beef stew for everyone's dinner and we've been lounging around the dinning room eating.

"Well, we'll help you any way possible!" I tell him with a grin but he frowns.

"I'm keeping you two as far away from this as possible. I refuse to risk either of you getting hurt." He informs Colton and I and I frown back, matching his face.

"Rude, he just wants to help." Colton smirks at Nic making him turn with a nasty glare. I haven't seen these two bicker in a long time, it's almost amusing.

"And I dont want him getting hurt I'd kill anyone who dared touch him." Nic claims pushing back against Col.

"I know you would therefore he's safe right? And I can handle my own so we will help you." Col easily pushes back, a half smirk on his lips as he leans on his arm.

"I'm not letting you two help with this, not this time and that's final. If something happened to you guys and I couldn't protect you I'd die." He tells us and for a moment his voice breaks. Colton's smirk drops as he sits up again. I too suddenly feel bad for even asking to help now, knowing how much it's effecting him.

Nic sighs heavily before regaining his composure.

"I love you two, and I'm more than thrilled that you want to help me but for now there's really nothing you can do to help out. At least nothing id let you do that is." He tells us and i nod.

I look down still feeling bad for not considering how he felt and I can feel him glance over at me before he chuckles and I feel his hand on my head.

"You're just so darn cute." He says making me frown again before he's pulling me into his arms.

"I'm not cute..." I protest but he hushes me, kissing the side of my head. He hugs me tightly telling me he loves me before letting go and I sigh. I guess I can handle being called cute if he's acting kinda like his old self again.

He shines his happy grin making me feel better before we go back to eating and I hear col let off a pleased sigh. "There's several ways we can help you Nic, all you have to do is ask." Colton informs, teasing Nic once again before grabbing his empty bowl and leaving before Nic can say something else.

Nic simply frowns slightly, "what's up with him? Being all cryptic and stuff all the sudden." He says forcing me to laugh before I turn to hide my face. That's Nic for you, dense as ever.

"Never mind you didn't get it." I laugh slightly less as I begin to sober up and smile at him, "when do you plan on starting all this?" I ask him and he hums crossing his arms over his chest.

"Well first we need a plan, and a good one. Then probably get someone to actually do it, if push came to shove though I'll just do it myself though I dont think it'll come to that. And I've been missing my mates a lot more lately so I need to add time for that before the plan starts. I'd say we have a few days of peace while we plan." He informs me with a goofy grin and I roll my eyes.

Colton returns soon empty handed as he takes his seat next to us and asks what we're talking about. Nic repeats what he says and col rolls his eyes as well but a smirk breaks out on his face, hardly able to hold back the smile. He shakes his head before reaching over and poking Nic's cheek playfully, "and who's fault is it that he's missing his mates?" He teases half heartedly making me chuckle lightly.
