You were awake all night, having trouble with those kind of memories that come to your mind.
Remembering how you used to hate Nero without having a really good reason.
Maybe it all started when your father began to treat him like the son he never had, or when you heard those cocky comments all the time.
You hated him maybe because in reality you couldn't keep your eyes off of him.
That's the truth. You love how strong he is but hate how he didn't worry not even a little about protecting you, you love his old hairstyle that made him look younger and cuter but you hate the fact that your fingers couldn't slide through them, you love him, or at least, you like him.
You even started dating a guy to make him jealous but it didn't work, he was captivated, always talking about his girlfriend and you hated that too.
Then the relationship with your boyfriend started to get serious and you knew you need to keep distance from Nero, so the easiest thing to do was talking how you couldn't get along with him or how much trouble he brought into your life.
You both grew distant of each other.
Then your father died, you broke up with your boyfriend and Nero left the city.
The next day you decide to go for a walk, you need fresh air to clear your mind. It is a cold morning, that’s why it takes you a bit to warm up.
You’ve spent all night thinking about Nero. Maybe you should just ask him out on a date, but if he refuses that would make things more akward and he probably wouldn't want to work for you anymore. Suddenly you stop running.
“Fuck this shit” You say to yourself, you're going to call him right now.
"Hi, honey" You hear Nico say.
"Uhhm, sorry, is Nero there?"
"Nope, not right now." Your bravery just disappears in that instant.
"Well, then I'll call him later.”
"Yeah, whatever you want" She says before hanging up.
You feel discouraged and defeated, but an incoming call catches you off guard.
"Hello?"
"Nico was just kidding." There he is, talking to you.
"Oh great" You manage to say, feeling happier than before, you can almost scream and can’t care less about people hearing you.
"So, what did you want to say?"
"Oh, well I... I was thinking if you want to hang out?"
"Right now?" He asks.
"No, not right now, maybe this week, or some other time if you're busy." You want to hear his answer right when you stop talking, but Nero is taking his time, making things a lot more suspenseful than they are.
"Like a date" Nico laughs on the other side of the line.
"Yes" You whisper, feeling your
heart hammering through your chest. “I'll pick you up then, tonight after nine."
"Ok" Is all you can say right before ending the call.
And this time you scream like there was no tomorrow.
Thanks _goblin_child_!!! :)
