We're burnin' daylight

"I don't know how to turn it off," pouting he looked from the crying baby in his arms to Ash concerned. 

You're Invited; Closed Starter

Nick looked at him surprised, that was something he didn't expect the other to say. "Work," and with that he ruined everything. Cursing under his breath he shook his head then looked to the other, blue eyes swimming in embarrassment.

" No." She said, covering her head with the pillow. " No leaving the child screaming." To reiterate her point, Ash pulled the blankets over, rolling until she was in a cocoon of blankets. 

Nick groaned even louder, matching the whining of the baby in the other room. Waking up he rolled his eyes and stood, "Whatever," huffing he shuffled over to the nursery and picked up the crying child. Shushing it softly he started to rock her, unsure of why she was even crying in the first place. 

"You wanna cook? Okay then," she nodded and slid onto the couch. "Anything in particular?"

"Uh -- something delicious of course," Smirking he stood up and headed towards the kitchen. "You'll never know what it's gonna be till you eat it!"

The sound of crying woke Ash from her sleep. the clock beside the bed, read ‘3:34 AM’.  Rolling over, she nudged Nick. ” Ella’s crying. it’s your turn.” 

Nick groaned and turned to his other side. "Let her scream for five more minutes please," he whispered trying to bring up the want to get out of the warm bed to the screaming child. 

She pouted a little and climbed onto his lap. “Alright. You aren’t a dick because you ‘let’ me win.” Abby kissed his cheek. “And I’ll treat you to dinner.” 

Raising his eyebrow he looked at her surprised. "What if I said I wanted to cook instead?"

Shaking her head, she grinned. “Nope. I won all by myself.” She poked his side. 

Nick rolled his eyes and moved away from her jabbing fingers. "Whatever you say, I don't think you're right."

AYE SIR!

IT’S BEEN TOO FUCKIN’ LONG!

"I dunno. Doesn’t feel like a normal day unless I’m calling you a dick? I could say you let me win while we were playing video games, but I did that one all on my own this time."

Nick's eyebrows scrunched together and he began to shake his head. "No, I obviously let you win."

"What did I do?"

Clearing his throat he shrugged slightly. "I mean -- isn't this to be all secretive and stuff?" under       the mask he scrunched up his eyebrows before finally shaking his head.               "Nevermind, I sound like a fuckin' idiot. The names Nick, what's yours?"

                                          “I tried,… I tried t’save her.”
