A/N; Man, oh man. I've just recently discovered how obsessed I am with L4D2. And how big of an Ellis fangirl I am. :3 But either way, this is a series of drabbles based off of songs and random stuff. I'll keep adding to it, and I hope to have a collection of 20 short Nick/Ellis drabbles by the end of the summer. The song lyrics that inspired me will be right before each story, along with the song name and artist.


"Lights out, boys sleepwalking on the weekend.

...

As time goes by, we set the stage

We play the parts and act our age."

Weekend, The Birthday Massacre


It was the brunt of the weekend. Time to take the usual rounds, Nick thought. He dug his favorite flawless white suit out of the closet along with the usual blue button up

shirt he usually wore.

He walked into the casino, throwing his car keys to the valet who stumbled to grab them before they hit the carpeted floor.

First rule of winning anything at a casino; Act like it's your stage and everyone is your audiance.

Walking over to the bar, he muttered that he'd enjoy his usual drink, rum with a lime twist, to the bartender.

He glanced over to face the rest of the casino. Nick sighed as he wished that there was more to his life than conning and badassary.
