"You're still doing the gigolo thing?" Amelia sighed. She was all ready for a day of lounging on the couch but alas it was friday. Worrick had clients coming so they had to leave.

"Yes, now shoo. My first appointment is in half an hour so you guys need to leave," Worrick insisted as he began pushing the small girl out the door.

"Calling it an 'appointment' makes it sound like you're a doctor," the petite woman rolled her eyes. "I mean, everyone's feeling better when they leave but its not because of medication," she snickered softly.

"I am the medication. If you'd like your dose you'll have to make an appointment," he teased with a flirty smirk.

The girl simply rolled her eyes and shrugged his hands off her shoulders. "Ok, ok, I'll leave," she sighed before turning around to look at the male one last time.

"Good girl," the gigolo chuckled and took his hands away. As she turned, he leaned down so their faces were close. "I wasn't kidding about the appointment though. I'll even give you a discount... for old times sake," he purred in a sultry voice.

Amelia's breath hitched in her throat. She could feel Worrick's hot breath on her lips, causing memories to flash through her mind.

Skin brushed against skin. Heat and electricity coursed through her with every touch. Expert fingers slid over her naked skin. Her breath was jagged as her body responded to the actions the other made. Fingers curled around the sheets below her, back arching off the bed. She could feel his hot lips on her, barely touching but just as affective. Their breath mingled just as their bodies did, lust evident in both pairs of eyes.

Amelia bit her lip as she looked away, a blush on her cheeks and a pain in her heart. Before she could say anything there was an arm around her waist, pulling her backwards. She looked up and realized it was Nic. He was facing the door with one arm around Amelia who was facing away from the door. He pulled her away from Worrick and out the door before turning back and signing something to Worrick. Amelia couldn't catch what he said. She wasn't expecting Nic to do that so she was still in slight shock. Where did he even come from? She hadn't seen him at all.

As the door shut, Nic's arm retracted from her waist. Without another word (or sign) he headed down the stairs. She blinked, recollecting herself before running down the stairs after him. She ran in front of him and walked backwards as she smiled and talked. "Do we have any jobs today?"

Nic shook his head, expression never changing.

"Hm... well, Alex is grocery shopping I think. We can't stay in the apartment. What do you want to do?" She asked knowing she probably won't be getting an answer. She was really asking herself more than Nic. She always hated these days. They were boring.

'Fly.'

Amelia blinked at the signed words before smiling. She knew what he meant. He was talking about when they ran and jumped from building to building. Amelia always refered to it as them flying so he used the term only in that case. If he was talking to Worrick he would probably sign out the physical description but Amelia understood 'Fly'.

'Ok, we'll fly.' She smiled wide as she signed back to him.

Nic felt a smile tug at the corner of his own lips but he restrained himself. She always did that. Her smile was so bright and beautiful it was hard not to smile at least a little bit. She really did crazy things to him.

The two jumped up to a roof top, landing gracefully as always. Nic swore to himself that he was just looking for a possible job and a birdseyes view would make it easier. He would never admit that he liked watching Amelia smile and laugh as she flew. Not even to himself.

'Hey,' Amelia signed, giving a wave of her hand to make sure he noticed she was talking to him. 'Race you to Theo's?' she smirked jutting her thumb in the direction after she finished signing.

Nic gave that grin he always wore when he was fighting before nodding and taking off.

"Awe, I didn't say go," Amelia pouted to her self before flipping off the rooftop and landing on the one across the alley. She ran, doing her best to keep up with the tag. Even though she should be a tag just like him, Nicolas was still stronger and faster even when he didnt overdose. If she were to evaluate her own skills, Amelia would rank herself as a C/2 in actually ability. She was good at strategy though and often could throw the opponent off guard easily. If they don't see tags they usually assume she's a Normal.

Somehow, she caught up. 'He's probably taking it easy on me. Bastard,' she thought to herself. She laughed as she flipped over Nic, looking down at him with a grin spread across her face.

Nic watched as the woman flew over him. It was like slow motion. Her hair hung down, framing her face and reflecting the bright sun. It was like she was glowing. Even if he couldn't hear, he could see how beautiful her laugh was. Her smile really lit up her face. Her shirt flew up slightly but not enough to see anything, thankfully.

Time was back to normal as she landed in front of him and ran across the next building. His eyes narrowed, determined to beat her. He jumped. She jumped. Nic was faster but that made a problem since he was behind her.

Their bodies crashed together and lost momentum. They started to fall just short of the next building. Nic instinctively wrapped arm around the girls waist and pulled him to her so he would get most of the impact. He reached out suddenly and grabbed a balcony railing with his free hand. They jolted to a stop.

"Oh my god..." Amelia gasped, looking down at the ground they almost impacted with. They could have been pancakes. Well, to be more realistic they may have broken a bone since they are twilights but still. It wouldn't have been pretty if they fell.

The girl looked up at the male who was holding her so close. His grip was protective, obviously not about to let up until they were completely safe. As long as this railing held-

The bar shifted down slightly. It was breaking. This wasn't good. Amelia clung to Nic, knowing he would have a better chance of getting them down then she would. He was looking around, planning what to do. He began to swing.

"Nic... Nic you're going to make it break sooner..." she muttered worriedly, more to herself since she knew he wasn't paying attention.

He let go.

Amelia's grip on the male tightened, her eyes squeezing shut as they began to fall again. She couldn't even scream.

Before she knew it, there was a tap on her arm that was still clutched around Nic's shoulders. She opened her eyes slowly only to see that they, in fact, weren't dead or broken in any way. Nic's feet were on the top of a dumpster and Amelia's feet were... well her arms and legs were completely wrapped around Nic like how a sloth wraps its limbs around a tree branch.

"Oh... oops," she muttered and slowly put her feet down before releasing her arms from the taller male. "Sorry," she apologized, making sure he read her lips. "Well... that was fun," she giggled before hopping off the dumpster.

'Lets stay on solid ground for now.' Nic signed as he landed beside her.

Amelia smiled and nodded in agreement before walking out of the alley with Nic. 'Its been a while... since he actually held me like that,' she thought to herself. She could barely tell if her heart was racing because of the fall or because of how close they had been.


"I want to know more about Amelia," Alex said softly. She looked at the tiny nurse in front of her and sighed. "I sound like I'm jealous don't I? I'm not jealous. I'm just curious. I know they've known each other for a long time but how serious is their relationship with her?" Alex muttered, more to herself than to Nina. She wanted to know but she didnt know how to ask Worrick and she knew she wouldn't get an answer from Nic.

Nina sat on the hospital bed beside Alex and swung her legs innocently. "I don't know much so I'm not sure I could help," she explained simply. "I understand being curious though. I'm sure Worrick would, too, if you asked him."

Alex sighed. "I know... It's hard to find a time to bring it up though." Honestly, what was she supposed to say? 'Hey, you know that girl who's suddenly living with us? Did you date her? Did Nicolas date her? Was there more?' It sounded so weird. She didn't want to dig up anything either. They seem to have a fine friendship now.

"It's not like some of you haven't seen me naked before."

The woman's words echoed in Alex's head. What did that mean? Have both of them seen her naked?

"I think..." Nina's voice broke in through Alex's thoughts. "I think something happened between her and Nic after Veronica..." the nurse trailed off, knowing Veronica was never a good topic.

"Something? Like what? Did they fight?" Alex asked confused.

"Not really... it's hard to explain. They weren't acting right though," Nina sighed not sure what happened. She was even younger when that happened than she was now so that didn't help. She was oblivious to what really happened. Although that was probably a good thing, even now.

"Oh... but they're alright now? They seem pretty friendly. Nic's seems a lot more comfortable around her than other people," Alex said quietly. There she goes again. Of course he's more comfortable. They've known each other for as long as they've known Danny. It sounded like a long time at least.

"Oh yea, they're back to normal now," Nina smile happily, wanting to reassure the ex-prostitute. "Amelia's a lot of fun. I'm sure once you get used to her it'll be ok," she smiled.

Alex nodded and gave a reassuring smile back. "Yea, I'm sure you're right."


"Was it them? The other day?" Worrick questioned into the phone. He was in between clients when Monroe had called. The blond normal was shirtless and smoking a cigarette out the window, phone in hand.

Monroe was explaining what had happened during the fight that gave Amelia a gash on her back. Worrick listened with a serious look, his eyebrows knitted together with concern. This was going to be a lot worse than he expected.


I love dropping little hints and teasers. I just feel like it's too soon to completely reveal it but I'm so hyped. I'm really tempted to make this just pure fluff but it's really hard to write Nicolas. He doesn't do much, you know, unless he's fighting. ~ I'm trying though so please bare with me.

I would love if you could Review and possibly follow/favourite.
