Walking A New Path

[Nox]

By the time Nox showered and got dressed he was not nearly so annoyed as he was when Ivan had texted him for help. At least getting out of the house was good away from Aiden and Sage and the drama they were making in his life. It was bad enough he was dealing with his fucking sexuality and his feelings for men. It was like every night he listened to those two giggling and having a grand old time and the memories flooded in. The memories of feelings Nox had of boys before Jaden. Of the one he had for Sage when he was with Aurora. And of Aiden in the band all of Aurora's luggage and it was a Methos concert that turned him off and on. What the fuck was that about.

The train was quick. The park was a quick walk. Nox walked the park once, he would be late, he didn't really care. If Ivan wanted to learn he'd let Nox get in the right mind. He was still annoyed the man thought he was wrong and offered help and then went his own way. But just like hunting monsters, Nox couldn't help stay away when someone needed his help.

Ivan sat at a chess table, there were no pieces. Nox sat down across from the cop. "Sorry I'm late, needed to get out of my head." It was an excuse, but it was all he had, "Though I am surprised to hear from you considering how you, your cop buddy and Aria's sister left. What exactly do you need help with?"
