Et tu, Brute?

[Nox]

Nox blinked at the offer. While nice he couldn't leave. "Thank you Aiden, but I'm not leaving Moscow. I don't have the pleasure of a personal car nor do I want to drive a few hours everyday so I can do what I do."

Nox sat down on the bed. "I appreciate the offer. But I can manage on my own. I always have. I just need to figure it out, but not here." He stood up and started pacing.

Sage didn't like the sound of Nox's voice. He was sad and desperate but most of all he was alone. This had been his only family left and he couldn't imagine. "You aren't alone in this. Let us help." Sage looked to Aiden and wanted to say he was sorry if he got angry, but Nox was his friend - a good one.

Sage gave Aiden a bright smile and leaned in then pressed a kiss to his boyfriend's cheek and then stepped away. He stood in front of Nox so he'd stop pacing. "Dorian is an ass for doing that, what do you need?"

****

Nox stopped when Sage interrupted his path. He'd just kissed Aiden and now he was in kissing distance again. Nox looked up into his hazel eyes and there was a moment of longing, but he took a step back. He was with Aiden and Nox was not going to fuck with that and he wasn't into relationship - now maybe ever. He'd tried. He'd fucking tried - not too hard he supposed if he'd slept with the first guy who came along when he was drunk.

Nox took another step back. His voice was weak. "I just need to get out of here."
