What Comes Before
#9
Raffe enjoyed teasing him. Nox didn't mind and he growled when Raffe said there wasn't enough time. Nox pressed his forehead against Raffe's and sighed helplessly, "Okay, maybe I'm impatient." Nox chuckled. He lowered his voice, "Yes, I'm a little horn dog, but it's more than that." Nox pulled away with a bright smile. "I want to take this arm off and be comfortable." It's not that the arm hurt or anything, but he needed time to get used to it and he really wanted to be comfortable enough with Raffe and not fear hurting him.

There was still a lot of training he had to do. But before he knew it he would be leaving for the underground, and that was the scary part. What if he didn't come back? How long would it take to clear the tunnels. Did the Ascendancy even know how deep they were? Or did he just expect to collapse the whole thing, or block off every entrance? Nox would have preferred to do it alone. And definitely not with some guys he barely knew. Even if one of those guys was the Ascendancy.

Nox wanted to forget about all that and just be with Raffe, but he was afraid that was going to end all too soon. Mutual feelings aside, Nox knew he was bound to screw something up. He always did.

Nox gave Raffe a slight smile when the train pulled up. "About time." Nox grabbed Raffe's hand and tugged him on to the train and into a seat.

The train jolted forward and they had a bit before their stop with many in between. "I was serious before, when I said I wanted to find a real place. And that I wanted you to come with me. Not to live together like we have more than we do. But as friends, roommates. Our own separate spaces, but someplace you can have a garden or at least a large window box or three. A place we can eat, sleep and not have to worry about ..." The things Nox had to worry about as more than just the girls walking in on them, or getting called down because of a fight when he was sleeping. Not that it had happened often. The most things Nox had to worry about was the Atharim coming to get him. And that put Raffe in danger, but Nox couldn't keep Raffe safe from them either if they learned about him. And they would -- they always did. Maybe he just needed to go and leave Kallisti to be safe. My life fucking sucks sometimes.
