Juls told him to go away. He would like to go away but the prospect of getting up was an audious task and Nox looked helplessly at Raffe who without a word offered him a hand and Nox took it gratefully. "Fine, we'll wait for your parents by the front door."
Sterling looked a little miffed that Raffe was leaving, but Nox hadn't let go of the other man's hand as he started walking away. His food and the plant sat on the bar and they'd have to come back for it later even if they weren't done, but Sterling was curious now, he wanted to make sure she learned and even if he thought he was helping he knew he wasn't. It was night and day the two sides of the power.
Nox lead them through to the front door, there was plenty of privacy for them, and for the girls in the lounge. Nox let out a soft sigh of relief. They were finally alone. The day had been hard. Too hard, almost more so than the hunt itself. There was still so much to do. He had messages to check, he needed to send some too, get in touch with, so much to keep in mind, but first Raffe - Sterling was down so he could focus on the next important person.
They were alone in the dimly lit room and Nox stopped in the middle and put his hand on the back of Raffe's neck. "I know you have a lot of questions and I will answer every single one of them. But I have something I want to say first." Nox stepped closer to Raffe with a smile. "That was a very dumb thing to do, stepping in front of me trying to defuse the situation." Nox bit his bottom lip and dropped his gaze, his voice was softer when he said the next thing, his eyes flicking back up to meet Raffe's, "But thank you for trying, it was stupid, but no one has done that for me." Nox leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss to Raffe's lips in thanks, in comfort, in so many things. There were lingering thoughts of the hunger beneath but Nox kept those firmly in place - unwanted, he wanted to show Raffe what he meant. And if he said to fuck off he would, but there had not been any such impressions the entire day - not even when bullets were flying at Raffe's head.
