AN: I think I like the way this story is going. There isn't enough NickxFinnicks out there! I looked and there were only 7 out of 3.2k, and I can't believe I fell into this ship. This is good whether you prefer gay comics or not, I just love romance! Luckily the first few chapters are rly hard to write and right after it gets SUPER easy for me. Sorry I quit on the other story, just wasn't into it, ya know? Anyways enough ramblings, let's get onto the story!

Present

"PLEASE! I NEED TO SEE FINNICK!"

"Sir you can't only officers and family"

"I AM AN OFFICER!"

"I'm sorry officer, please come in."

Nick didn't know what to say or think, all he knew is that he had to see Finnick. He didn't know what Finnick was going to say either, but Finnick knew exactly what he was going to say.

"FINNICK!"

"W- What...?" Finnick said confused.

"It's me, Nick!"

Finnick suddenly opened his eyes and yelled at the top of his lungs' "YOU LEFT ME!"

Nick was surprised to look in his eyes and not see a hint of anger, but instead hurt, and he had never seen this side of Finnick.

"Finnick I-"

"Officer Wilde you are going to have to leave."

"What?"

"We have to do the surgery to remove the bullet please leave the room" the nurse rudely said.

Nick, in full fledged tears, ran out the room as quick as possible. As soon as he got into the police cruiser he laid his head on the top of the wheel and silently sobbed. He wanted everything to end, just be gone from the world. But he had to make things right with Finnick, even if it meant losing everything.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Nick jumped up at the sound of banging on the window next to him. He turned over to see Judy with utter confusion all over her face. She mouthed "Roll down the window" and he obliged.

"What happened? Is he okay?"

"He's fine..."

Judy suddenly realized what had happened and her expression changed from confusion to horror. "Oh my god Nick, I'm so sorry."

"He's fine..." Nick repeated in tears.

"Nick get out of the car"

"What..?"

"Get into the passenger seat, now."

Nick jumped into the passenger seat and Judy practically flew into the drivers seat.

"Where are we going?"

"Finnick told me before you left to be an officer that if anything happened to take you to a specific place, so that's what I'm doing."

"Where exactly is this place you speak of?"

"I don't know exactly, I just have the adress."

About an hour later

"We're here"

They had parked in an empty parking lot. It was around 11 so most parking lots you could see would be full, but this one was completely devoid of life.

"Follow me"

They walked around the block to reveal a small beat up convenient store. Nick took one look at the store and his jaw dropped.

"Finnick never told me exactly why this place is important, do you know Nick?" Judy said not seeing his shocked look.

When he didn't reply she looked over seeing his face and stayed silent for a minute.

After a few minutes he finally replied..

"...This...This is where I met Finnick."

20 years ago

Nick was sobbing loudly. He thought he could actually become a scout, he tried so hard and it was all thrown away. He was walking home in nothing but his uniform, in the cold night, completely alone.

"Hey you."

Nicks head sprang up in surprise. No one had talked to him that entire night, asked what was wrong, or even looked at him. Nobody cared about a fox cub, who could it possibly be?

"Hey, why are you cryin?"

When his vision had cleared he expected to see another fox, and that's exactly what he saw. A smaller desert fox stood in front of him, with a confused look on his face.

"You gonna awnser me or not?"

Nick struggled to speak. "I-I got..."

"Speak!" The fox said angrily.

"I got..m-muzzled..." Nick broke into tears again.

The foxes expression immediately changed from anger to regret. "Eh how old are you?"

"9..W-What about you?"

"11, you look older.."

Nick managed to stifle a light chuckle while still in tears. "What are you doing out here?"

"Ran away from home."

"Really? What's your name?"

"Finnick, you?"

"Nick, it's nice to meet you Finnick. Hey even our names are alike!"

"Heh yeah I guess they are. We should probably get away from this crummy shop, it's starting to smell."

"Yeah, I guess so."

Present

"Wow I didn't know you and Finnick had known each other that long.."

"Yeah. He was always there when I needed him."

There was a long silence. It wasn't awkward, but instead peaceful. Just was the first to break the silence.

"I gotta go run some errands, you go to my place and I'll let Bogo know you will take the week off." She lied.

"Thanks Judy"

Judy drove Nick to her tiny apartment and Judy left for the hospital. He needed to let Finnick know they weren't dating. And more importantly, he needed to know his feelings for Nick. 20 minutes passed and she parked in the hospital parking lot, not knowing what was going to happen when she walked through those doors...

AN: I like dis so far ?! Idk bout you but when I read fanfics I like to play it out in my head like a movie, you do the same? Anyways, I'm super glad I continued to write this. I usually finish reading things more often than I finish writing things. But the reader has become the writer! Can't wait to see what happens next! ?
