Convergence

[Nox]

A steady hand from Raffe was distracting, but the barrage of questions fired at him made him focus on the teenage girl standing before him. Every question she asked was harder to answer. Just like she had been in her messages. He was grateful she wanted to see him, but her parents didn't want her to. Her father had sent a scathing message and he didn't intend on pissing them off. She was still underage - kidnapping was a thing. And that was so something he didn't want to be accused of.

But before he could get angry she introduced herself to Raffe with a biting question that he really didn't want to answer. Not to her, and he definitely didn't want to hear what Raffe had to see. He didn't want to say no, or yes, or anything at all. He stood staring at her with heat creeping up his neck and ears. "Raffe's my friend and flatmate." That wasn't all. They had shared a kiss only moments ago. They flirted. Nox wanted to say that and he looked over at Raffe to try and relay the sentiment that he was more than that too but he didn't know how to say it. Boyfriend was so far from where they were at the moment.

Sterling giggled, "But you were holding hands."

Nox sighed and made a show of taking Raffe's hand in his with a bright smile. "I didn't say what kind of friend, Sterling. Raffe, this is my cousin, Sterling. Sterling, this is Raffe. She should not be here, her parents don't want her seeing me. So obviously that means come visit me in the hospital." Nox scowled at Sterling but her knowing shy smile made it soften a little.
