Promises, Promises

[Nox]

Kissing Sage had had an interesting effect on Nox and it had affected Sage much the same way. It felt like forever since he’d last gotten laid. But it was a matter of days. So much shit had happened. Nox still oped Jay was alright. It was the first time a one night stand had made that strong of an impression. Jaden apparently had too.

Nox sighed as he pushed aside his personal problems and feelings and headed to the address Sage had a new wallet waiting. It was a reputable electronics shop at first glance. Nox pushed opened the entry door way with a jingling bell as he passed through it’s threshold. A boy no older that Cruz with glasses stared back at him. ”Can I help you?”


Nox nodded. ”I’m here to pick up a new wallet. My friend sent me, said it would be waiting.”


”I wasn’t sure this was real or not. I don’t normally do this, but I was paid. So here you go.”
The kid handed Nox an unboxed wallet that was already pulsing a message. ”It’s been non-stop blinking since I typed in the number.”


Nox grinned at the kid. ”Thanks.”
Nox handed the kid a tip on top of whatever Sage had paid him. Hopefully it didn’t look like he was cheap - but Nox was, he didn’t exactly have a lot of cash to spare specially with the Atharim hunting him.

The furiously blinking light was a message from sage <small>SHE IS STATIONARY AT THE MOMENT. I DON’T WANT THIS TO BE WEIRD. NO EXPECTATIONS.

Nox headed to the train to catch the next one headed in the right direction that way he could at least text back to Sage his response. Thankfully he had a seat by himself and he didn’t have to worry about someone else seeing what was on his screen. Nox was pretty sure here were not so legal things on it.

<small>GOOD TO KNOW. FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS? IS THAT YOUR GOAL?”

</small> Nox closed his eyes and rested. He was about to take on Aria. The same girl who could best him in any hand to hand fight. The same girl who could control a grown man and make him do something he didn’t want to. She could kill him with her very touch. He was going to have to keep her at a distance. He didn’t want to risk the chance she could make him do things. And with Aurora lingering so close to the surface there was a lot of damage to be brought from that.

Nox’s wallet vibrated in his pocket. He looked at it quickly before tapping out a reply.

<small>MAYBE :EVILGRIN:

</small>

<small>WE’LL TALK WHEN YOU GET BACK TO DORIAN’S. ALMOST THERE NOW.

Nox sighed. He was about to go head to head with his best friend - his only real friend. But he’d made her a promise.
