Bound By Destiny

Personality Change Much?

Well at least the werewolf was punctual.

Nico had to add that to the woman's rather short list of good qualities besides 'adorable when flustered' and 'clumsy.'

Still Nico merely cast a blank stare at the apartment door from the couch, is it worth it?... Probably not... Not when the couch was so comfortable and her brain was so scrambled.

Nico pulled the hair-ties from her pigtails and threw an arm over her tired face with the ties resting around her wrist.

Of course the last class of her day just had to be college math. Ugh. The worst line of classes to ever fantastically grace the world with.

There was then a long period of silence regarding the door and Nico found that she was mildly disappointmented that Maki hadn't really put much effort into actually picking her up.

Maki...

The adorably klutzy werewolf with a flashing temper and lots of mental and emotional walls. She was so hard to read, her emotions shifting constantly to the point where it would make Nico dizzy if she focused on her with her magic for too long.

Even being hard to read however, Nico found that while the redhead had sounded either dumb or stuck up all day, she could tell that Maki was primarily confused, just like Nico was. After all, life didn't hand out a manual on how to learn to get along with one's soulmate, as Nico was finding. It was up to them to make it work, even if one of them was a younger stubborn easily flustered werewolf.

"Hmph," Nico grumbled and rolled onto her side, facing the back of the couch where her fingers began to pick at her threads. "Stupid werewolf, get out of my head..." it was annoying catching herself wondering how the werewolf would react in a situation or to what she said and even more frustrating when Maki had been offensive and haughtily above her all day.

Especially when Nico had seen the messy red hair and striking purple eyes after each of her classes, standing silently studying a complicated medical textbook and waiting for her. The exception had been her last class and it had been odd to not not make eye contact with silent amethyst eyes and hear her silently following after her or leading the way in an almost, dare she say it, protective way? as she led her around to each of the classes that Nico was still familiarizing herself with the locations of.

It felt so strange and yet fitting to have known someone for less than a full day like Maki and to have a real connection with them. Like even though Maki should've been a near complete stranger to her, there was just something there. Something there that made the young red head seem drawn to her and made Nico feel so at ease with her. Even if they seemed to butt heads on literally everything so far.

The sound of a lock disengaging and the door opening pulled the sulking mage from her thoughts and Nico craned her head around the edge of the couch.

"Excuse the intrusion," Maki was now standing there in the entry of the apartment, violet colored eyes wandered methodically around the room around her. The redhead had changed clothes from earlier, wearing a pristine white lab coat over a black v-necked t-shirt and earlier dark jeans with her beat up converse she had been wearing all day.

"I don't know, should you be excused? You are intruding in my home." Nico found herself saying with a snort and relaxed on her back on the comfortable but mildly lumpy couch. Maki vanished from her eyeline as she did so, which provided her a few seconds of time to recover. Because what the hell? For someone who was as moody as Maki seemed to be, it wasn't fair how effortlessly gorgeous she was.

"Only for now," Maki replied a lot more of a levelhead than she had been at the cafe with her pack. "Where do you want me to put the gift I brought?" Right, the customary gift when entering someone else's home.
