After the special events of being shown live to being in a parade, it was time for aome time alone. Nick and Alex went to go shop at a 24/7 store, looking at the many gifts they provide for chriatmas ans other events.

Nick and Alex looked through the sales they had in technology, toys, all sorts. But, Alex stopped at the clothing section first to do some last-minute shopping. They looked through the different styles of hoodies, pants, shirts, and also some hats. For nock, he looked of what was comedic. Anything funny was something Nick would want. He then found a shirt, relating to lemons being frozen and thrown at enemies.

Nick leaned his head on his arm, laying on top of the shirt rack, laughing at the amusement it gives. He then grabbed it and walked over to Alex with a bit of quickness on his feet. He saw him scavenge through the rack he is positioned on, sliding the many shirts it contains. "Hey, Alex." Alex looked up at Nick and Nick showed him his shirt.

Alex laughed at the shirt, showing its humor in some type of violence. Nick chuckled with Alex as he threw the shirt over his arm, watching him scavenge through the rack of clothes some more. "You looking for anything specific?" Alex turned at Nick, seeing his curious self hovering over his back.

"Just some things on christmas, gifts for my family." Nick went beside him and scavenged through the variety of styles too. Alex soon sighed, giving Nick looks of worry. "Are you alright?" Alex looked up, nervous about something. "I was just wondering..."

Alex tapped in top of the metal rod connected to the rack, scared to mention his favor. "Would you want to go see if you can join me this chriatmas?" Nick smirked with a chuckle. "What's so bad about that?" Alex breathed out of his nose and looked up at Nick. "It's with the family." Nick wide eyed at Alex, like he just cheated on him or something.

"Another family event?" For the honest truth, Nick did enjoyed the time with a family, but when he goes to these events, it gives him feelings of his past. The thoughts made him depressed of the life he,free in, pushing him to leave and face his sorrow.

Alex looked a little upset and Nick tried to think to reverse that. "I mean... I do, but..." Nick didn't know what to say. "Judy's family was out there. I was questioned a lot on about you and me together so..."

"Well, my family knows about you and I together already so..." Then Nick had his eyes widened again. "How do they know?" Alex have a little sigh and rubbed his face with his laws. "My mother kind of told the family, just in case of you would join any events." Nick placed his face into his paw, shaking his head in a slight quick pattern.

Nick looked up at Alex as he used his fingers to bring down his bottom eyelids, releasing them with his arm flopping down. Nick didn't want to disappoint Alex, but his his unsure self is getting to him. Then, he soon made a choice. "Alright, I'll join your family event." Alex bumped in joy, hugging and kissing Nick on the lips.

Nick grabbed Alex's face and pushed slightly where they just see eye level. "But, if I'm going, you need to describe your family." Alex rolled his eyes with a smirk and pecked a kiss on his nose. "There will be time for that."

So, the thought of seeing Alex's family soon started to roam through his mind, showing more of his lonely past. Though, even if it's a sad thought, Nick ignored the situation and continued to spend time with someone that loved him, someone who cares and likes to spend time with.

After the sky soon slipping into nught, the two soon went off to the vehicle, placing the gifts they were buying and driving to there location. Nick was the first to be dropped off at his apartment, due to him not owning any type of vehicle to drive around. They gave a couple of kisses and Nick went to the back, gathering what he bought and went into his apartment.

He soon went in and heard the rubber tires roll away on the concrete, meaning Alex drive off. Nick turned back and saw Alex went into the bright city, giving a deep breath out through his nostrils. Once in, the bags were placed on the side of the wall and sat down on the bed. He looked at his phone and saw his wallpaper, with a picture of Alex and two of his friends, Finnick and Judy.

He then soon looked up at the roof, thinking about the people he was, given to. He wondered why the Lord himself lead him to this mysterious life.

The thought spread through out his mind, through the time of being in sleep wear, plugging up his phone, under the sheets, all through til it was time for bed. The thoughts roamed through on how he reached this far in life, just making no effort of stopping him falling asleep.

The next day, the thought of seeing Alex's family still went through his skull. So much, it nearly made him lose focus on today's assignment. Where it happened was was the assignment room, the place they give assignments and other info they need to do.

In there was Nick and Judy, sitting next to each other as usual. Though, Nick seemed different, more into a type of gaze. Bogo was talking and looked over at Nick. Surprisingly, he didn't notice. "Wilde, you got some paper work." A second went by and Nick looked over at Bogo. "Alright." No go have a confused look, but continued on.

Judy noticed that he was acting a bit strange. Meeting went by and as soon it was over, Judy immediately grabbed Nick' s attention. "Nick, you feeling alright?" Nick turned to Judy and have a long sigh, feeling unease of a thought. "Alex..." Judy looked at hom in an upset look. "Did he cheat on you?" Nick have a skank look with a quick shake with his head. "No, not that."

Nick stood back up into his normal position and rubbed his mouth with his paw, making a slight click sound with his lips. "Alex invited me to a family even this christmas." Judy have a Thinking look, thinking that's a wonderful idea. "Oh, that's not so bad." Nick breathed in deep and stretched the word "Well..." in a long saying.

"Listen, I want to go to things like these more often but, it goes beyond the lines where I think about my past too much." Judy looked at him and quickly realized he did a little during her family holiday. "Nick, yes it's going to pop up from time to time, but you go to these to try and make new memories. It's something we try to go to so we can try and forget."

She saw Nick, looking a bit fragile for this situation. "You know, it's best to not think about the past to much, but it's best to make more memories with people you like." Nick looked up at Judy and saw her being helpful, giving a smile on he face.

"If I were you, I would risk of trying it, knowing more of the family relating to your love." Nick smiled and gave a couple quiet chuckled. "I appreciate it carrots." From that point on, they soon gave a hug and continued on with there work. With advice from the bunny, Nick kept it in his head, hoping it would go well with Alex and his family.
