A Hidden Alcove

"It depends, does Stage II involve massive amounts of alcohol, or sexy naked men who want me?"

"No... I guess it is out of the question then." Nikki was pleased Rad was joking again.

Rad wasn't joking, just saying. That really is the logical Stage II in his eyes, anyway. "Why are you doing this, again?"

Nikki looked at him in surprise. "Because you are my friend and I hate to see you so sad and broken. Because life is only once once and the present is only and now and then it is gone and who wants to waste that being sad. And because I haven't gotten to torment anyone in ages and I am wanted to."

Caradoc promptly hugged Nikki, and planted a soft kiss on her cheek. "I'm sad, not broken. And I suppose you're right," he said, straining for a slight smile. "And you are the best at torment, clearly. Anything else, anything but Rick Astley-- wait, I take that back, before you make me go all Justin Bieber or worse."

"I could take advantage of that and go Miley Cyrus on you... but even i have to draw the line somewhere. And it is there."

"Thank goodness you aren't that sadistic, I'd have to disown you as a friend, which would suck, because you're an awesome friend," he said. "Alright, that's it. I'm so fucking tired of sulking, it isn't even funny, and it's been like a day. I am not meant to not be smiling."

Nikki apologises and says she got distracted by watching youtube clips of Russell Brand. She was also picturing the crazy haired babies they would have together.

"PUT A SMILE ON, PUT A SMILE ON, EVERYBODY COME ON, PUT A SMILE ON!" Nikki sang, grabbing both of Rad's hands and spinning them in a circle.

Eowyn thinks Addie and Russell would have sexy children. Sexy, sexy children. All is forgiven. Caradoc scowled and does not move, instead letting go of Nikki so she spins in a circle by herself. "I said I was tired of sulking, I didn't say I was ready to do a happy dance, you nutter."

"Fine..." She kissed his cheek. "Well, in all seriousness, what if you told Fabian that to try not to hurt him, you hurt him. And then you stopped hurting him by actually agreeing to date him. And knowing on pain of another session with me, you won't cheat on him or something."

Nikki would like to know if Eowyn wants the list of videos on YuTube of Russell that Nikki had been watching.

*blinks*

Eowyn shouldn't because she has homework so Addie should keep Eowyn in line.

Caradoc sighed and offered Nikki a half smile, enveloping her in his large, muscular arms and hugging her close. "Nikki, I can't do that, even if I had the fear of Nikki along with the fear of Molly in me. It wouldn't work, I wouldn't be good for him-- hell, I was so torn before, Nikki, until I slept with Viktor, and shortly after I realized, I'm just not cut out for it. Relationships and commitment, I mean. I don't think I'm ready to give up my freedom, not even for Fabian, well, I couldn't, if I wanted to. I'd mess up, I just know it."

Nikki understood, or at least tried to. "I think I understand. I can't say I agree because I think you are underestimating yourself. I trust that you could be a phenomenal boyfriend, but if you don't think you can be, you won't be yet. But, I'll be cheering you on whenever you start to date." And Nikki is now prejudice against Viktor because she is convinced he is preventing Red from dating Fabian.

Nikki would like to say she has four tests and an essay due tomorrow. She has studied for one. However Addell, the Nikki Russel baby has been morphed. Ignore the hints of beard.

I HAVE TO GO! BYES!

OH...WELL THEN. *cries*
IF VIKTOR KNEW ABOUT ALL THIS CARABIAN STUFF...HE MIGHT FEEL DIFFERENTLY ABOUT DOCTOR
BUT HE AND FABIAN ARE NOT FRIENDS
DON'T BE HATIN'

IT IS NOT VIKTOR'S FAULT
DO NOT BE BLAMING THAT SEXY ASS

THANK YOU VERY MUCH
*strips*

"You really think I could be good for him?" he asked, staring in disbelief. "Nikki, you should know me by now, I'd be great, until the next hot guy walked by and shook his ass at me. I've never been good with fidelity, ever, really. And someone like Fabian couldn't possibly want to put up with that kind of thing."

"Never say never. Especially when you are speaking in the past tense! Who knows what can happen in the future?" She shrugged nonchalantly. "You don't know who you can become, only who you are now. Maybe this will make you want a committed relationship. No one can know for sure. Well... I highly gifted Seer could tell, but they are so rare that they aren't worth accounting for. Oh, and anyone who can talk to mice. Mice know everything. The ordered the world to be made... I read it in a book. Dolphins are aliens too."

"Dolphins are aliens? That'd explain a lot. You know, people like dolphins, but really, dolphins are the abusive assholes of the sea. Did you know they rape the female dolphins? They kidnap them and don't let them eat or sleep until they've had their way with them," he said, attempting to get away from the topic at hand. "But you're wrong. It's not what I want. It isn't."

"Okay. If you are sure." Nikki resisted the urge to say 'Me thinks the lady doth protesteth to much' because that would be cliche. Rather, a stressed out Andi is holding Nikki at chopstick-point and telling her not to say that.

Hahahahhaa. "I am sure! I am sure. It isn't what I want. Fabian isn't what I need. What I need is a nice, rough fuck, some gillyweed, and some time with my guitar. I don't sound convincing, do I?"

"Not al all." Nikki laughed, and slung her arm around him. "And I can't help with any of those things."

"No, you can't. But you've done plenty for me already. See? I'm smiling," he said, offering her a slight smile and hugging her close again. "Thanks, babe. It's just not right, when I'm wasting time sulking. Wasting time is the one thing I hate the most about being sad."

"Wasting time is never fun, unless you are wasting it to get to a time you want. Then it is just annoying." Nikki agreed, and smiled up at him. "I am glad I made you smile. Smiling is my favourite."
