Raffe continued to tease him and Nox couldn't help but smile brightly at it. No one made him feel like Raffe did.
"I ramble all the time, but I'm glad you think it's cute." But Nox shook his head, "You don't want to hear what's going on in my head." Nox laughed. "I'd be running for the hills if my head weren't attached to my legs." He joked. It wasn't like he didn't think about leaving the Atharim. Or about going back. Or any number of things that could make his life both easier and more complicated. Everything was a mess -- everything but Raffe.
The train ride wasn't long but it wasn't short. Nox had to fight to keep his hand to himself. His seated position put the robotic arm nearest to Raffe and Nox didn't dare try to touch Raffee too much with it. Instead Nox leaned his head on Raffe's shoulder and whispered various things he'd like to do with Raffe once they got home.
The jolt from the train pulled them both forward as their train slid into their stop with ease. The Red Light District was just starting to come alive. And Nox felt more at home under their red hue than he did anywhere else. This was where he had last had Aurora. At least that's what Nox told himself. But it was probably more that he'd found a home that accepted him. Nox didn't rush home. He didn't dally either. He wanted to be alone with Raffe -- before they had to do anything. Being at Kallisti even in off hours usually meant one or both of them went down to work for some reason or another. So he wanted as much time with Raffe alone as Kalliisti would allow.
The light sign of Kallisti drew larger until they turned down to the employees entrance. Home was close, Nox could almost taste it. "Only thing missing is a kitchen." Nox poked fun at his prior comments. But it was home. Nox stopped halfway between the door and the mouth of the alley and pulled Raffe into him. Nox leaned in and whispered into Raffe's ear, nuzzling the side of his face taking in his scent, "Almost good enough?" He chuckled, he didn't expect to make out in the employee's entrance not when one or the other's bedroom was so close, but he could tease Raffe too.
