Nox heard the door open and knew Jay was leaving. Whatever ran through his head had won. Nox sighed and climbed into the shower. He wasn't going to chase Jay, the offer was given. He should go. But maybe it was better for them both. Nox wasn't sure he was ready to give up on hope yet either. Nox turned the hot water higher and stepped into the scalding water. The pain would be better than the numbness that permeated his body.
Sky had let everyone know Nox was bringing someone home, and they all moved upstairs. It wasn't often Nox brought anyone other than Oriena or Hayden home, so someone new was important to not scare them. Even if it were Ori they'd scatter too.
When the door shut behind them Liam crept back down stairs to finish his game. Nox's song was still on lust filled desire and he smirked knowingly. The TV was low but the game was violent and the controller vibrated in his hand.
When the door opened and the shower was running Liam didn't have time to scatter before the unknown figure crept out of Nox's room looking for his things. Liam frowned. It wouldn't bother Nox, he couldn't feel the rejection at least not fully. Though maybe he would "You're things are over on the rack drying."
Liam wanted to be an asshole. Slipping into the night before the sex is a new one. He wanted to add, Don't worry we'll pick up the pieces after your gone. But he didn't. He just nodded towards the jacket and shoes. "Just picking up things so Nox didn't freak out when he came out later. We can run your clothes through the dryer if you stayed so you don't freeze out there. Nox doesn't need to know you stayed to do that."
