Amor Enim Bellum

Trigger Warning: Drug Us. Overdoses. Read with caution.

"Anything for you, my kärlek."

Still a week later those five (5) words that were uttered by Elias, were still stuck in a continuous loop inside Nova's mind.

She still remembered the kiss on her cheek that he gave her. Her face was on fire when he did that and it still was every time she thought of it.

Ever since that day, they both have been running in to each other more often and hanging out more frequently. If you were looking for one, you would more than likely find the other with them. That goes to show how much time they have been spending together.

"Bub, your face is red as fuck again. Are you thinking of your special someone?"

Turning to face Benjamin, she was greeted by him looking at her with a shit eating grin gracing his boyish features and he was wiggling his perfect eyebrows at her too. Swatting at him, she laughed and willed her cheeks to cool down.

Shaking her head furiously, she profusely expressed several no's. Not believing her, he smirked and leaned back, staring at her.

It was not unusual for her to find herself on the receiving end of the ash blonde's observing stare. Seems like he was always on the look out for something or someone and the clues that may lead to it.

Poking him, Nova asked, "Did you need something though bubba?"

As if that reminded him, he broke out his trance and perked up saying, "Oh right! Ellie is looking for you and asked me to find you. He said he wanted to talk to you about something. I'll take you to him because he's in his bedroom. Let us go."

Slapping her forehead, she shook her head and got up, letting him lead the way.

Once they got into the elevator, she turned to face him and asked, "Do you know what he wanted to speak to me about bubba?"

Shaking his head, he expressed he did not have one clue, but that was a blatant lie, though Nova could not detect it. Elias spoke to him about it before he tasked him with going to find her and he was the one that told him he should do it, to not hold back as well.

Since moving in the Odin's Riders MC castle, which was a little over a month ago, she had never been on his floor, much less his bedroom. She was currently living with Serah and Benjamin on their floor, in one of their guest bedrooms, which while in the hospital, they had transformed it into a lovely, cozy room for her.

"Here we are bub." Guiding her all the way to his bedroom, he knocked on the door and immediately heard a "Come in." Opening the door, they were both greeted by a shirtless Elias, who smiled at them.

"Thanks Benji, laters."

Heading out, he replied, "Anytime Ellie, laters."

The door closed, leaving just the two of them alone in his bedroom, which made Nova hyperaware of how many things could be done in this room. Brushing off those thoughts for now, she panned around the room and noticed it was really well decorated with a lot of cool toned colors.

Turning to face the owner of the room, she smiled and greeted him.

It always blew him away whenever he saw her and now he had finally mustered up the courage to tell her how he felt about her since the day they unofficially met.
