The Story Of Us

The Lost Scientist

Nicky was brilliant...

The man could cure cancer....

But he could not, for the life of him, find the way back home... It was supposed to be a simple run to the shop for milk... The shop that was barely three blocks away... Now he was as lost as ever... Milk held to his chest as he glanced around wide eyed.

He glanced down at his phone confused. Nicky was pretty sure the GPS on his phone was leading him in circles... Normal werewolves had excellent tracking skills... Nicky, though he was a werewolf, couldn't find his way home if it were lit up with neon signs...

He yelped and nearly taught his phone how to fly when Cody called him. He let out a sigh to calm his speeding heart before answering "Heeey there Codes..." he trailed awkwardly "Nicky... Where are you? You've been gone for nearly an hour"

Nicky cringed at the small accusation in his alpha's voice "Yeeaah... Uh... I might be a little lost" he trailed looking around before seeing a few strange looking individuals looking at him like he was their prey. He sped up slightly and avoided their eyes.

"Nicky. Where are you? What do you see?" Cody asked calmly "There are four creepy people chasing me" Nicky squeaked into his phone, his voice just above a panicked whisper.

"Okay. Hold on" Nicky could hear Cody call the infamous 'Code Nicky' through the house. There was a shuffling on the other side of the phone before Cody came back "Alright. We're heading out, Nicky, stay on the phone with me... We'll find you"

"Cody. Hurry!" Nicky yelped as one of the guys called to Nicky. The blue haired boy clutched his milk closer to his chest and sped up as the guys sped up "Hey kid!" they called again...

Now Nicky, like I had mentioned before, was on all accounts brilliant... But unfortunately in that moment his brain fluttered off into the sunset and left him to fend for himself....

He turned to the guys and yelped out a quick: leave me alone, before turning down a narrow ally way that led to a sketchy looking back streat...

"Cody?" he asked into the phone he had previously been squishing as he tried hiding against a wall "Cody? Are you there?" he asked again before looking at his cracked and very much dead screen and cussing softly in Latin.

He took a deep soft breath and glanced around panicked before taking a deep breath and slipping from his hiding spot and walking down the alley at a brisk pace. Every fiber of his being was screaming at him to run, but he kept himself relatively calm on the outside.

Every small sound had Nicky jumping. At one point he thought he heard footsteps falling quickly behind him though when he turned there was nothing. Not even an alley cat he could mistake for Miyuki playing a trick on him.

Nicky's heart went into over drive as he started praying in Spanish, mostly because he couldn't remember how to speak proper English as strange sounds came closer and closer...

Sadly the carton of milk didn't survive when one of the guys from earlier suddenly appeared before him....

Now there were a number of ways Nicky could've handled the situation, for example the razor sharp werewolf claws he got the day he was bitten, but he chose to repeatedly smack the guy with the carton of milk...

"Ni-Nic-Nicky!" the familiar voice yelled trying to duck each panicked wack of the milk carton. Nicky paused mid wack and blinked a few times in confusion...

"Mike?" he asked sounding confused before gasping and nearly crushing the lanky dirty blond man in a hug before shoving Mike away "You-you masive" he waved his arms around trying to find the word he was looking for before he gave up on English and just started speaking rapid Spanish "... Ducha idiota" he finished before taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly.

Mike blinked his pretty eyes at him and bit his plump lower lip to not burst out laughing at his friend "What are you doing here anyway?" Nicky snapped at Mike.

"Well you walked past me, my date and my date's friends like twice. I thought I recognized you so we decided to check it out and followed you... My friend called to you like twice before you turned around and shouted at us to leave you alone," Mike told him calmly "I told them to go without me and I came looking for you" he finished with a shrug.

"What about your date?" Nicky asked confused. Mike smirked instantly at Nicky "Oh you're much hotter than him" Nicky whacked Mike one last time before the milk carton gave in and broke against Mike's face.

Mike wiped his face and sighed "Well then... I deserved that... Come on... Lets get you home though" Mike said setting a hand on Nicky's shoulder before leading the brilliant scientist out of the dodgy place and back to the Black mansion where Nicky used a spare phone to call Cody...

He launched into a very awkward explanation of what happened. Cody burst out laughing and Nicky wanted to bury himself before remembering something "Oh and please pick up some milk... I kinda destroyed the carton I got..."

Needless to say... Nicky hung up to Cody's uncontrollable laughter...
