&; I got that red lip classic thing that you like [x]

He wasn’t rough and he didn’t yell, he was cursing her out or slamming her against the walls, Nicolas was gentle but he made his point. Fancy bit her lip and began to feel her eyes swell with the emotion she was holding inside, because for all that was holy in this world; she loved this man, not the other. But her childhood was molded and her fate had been decided and now she was here confused, angry, and holding onto him still so tightly that she was surprised he hadn’t pulled away yet. She didn’t want to say sorry, because sorry was useless and she knew she hurt him, and it was killing her that she did. “Nicolas...” She breathed out, voice trembling as her tears started “I love you...” That’s it, and she cried more because that’s all she could say. 

Fancy shook her head, her own words actually sounding like nothing but utter and pointless nonsense at this point. “N-No! Sebastian has never laid a single finger on me - ever.” She breathed, keeping her hands tightly holding his as a way of being calm enough to sort out her damn thoughts. “I know it sounds ridiculous, but it’s just like you knowing how dangerous a friend can be but also knowing that no matter how dark a past they have; they still are your friend.” Fancy shrugged, she was running out of coverups and solutions, running out of methods to help Sebastian and try to pull him out from sinking any deeper. She was frustrated and to stop herself from even thinking of crying, she merely brought the hands she held tightly up to her own face and covered it using his hands. “I can’t tell you who he was with because I promised them... I’m sorry.” His hands were warm and she was trembling, and he felt stiff and she felt fragile, and he was going to kill Sebastian and a part of her was actually thinking that would be alright. Because than she’d be free, she’d be normal. But than the other part still cared for the boy who stopped her beatings and who saved her ass numerous times. “Not if he cares about them...” she mumbled finally “And he called her his friend... He’s never called anyone except Bebo and I his friend, and he was legit.” 

Fancy looked at him painfully and tried to think of some way to defend Sebastian but was hit again by Nicolas’ words. “I went to check up on him and I saw him with someone, okay? I thought Sebastian might’ve done something... bad, and I shot at him. So we argued and he followed me to the stairs and tried pulling me back, so I yanked even harder.” He didn’t have to pull away, because Fancy let go of his hand though still kept her fingers tight with his. “Sebastian has never hurt me before though and when I think about this situation, it makes me lose all trust and hope in him and actually fear him. But how? That’s supposed to be my best friend”

“I don’t hear anyone having a bad time, ever. Oh, well there’s Alec, I think he’s like the thirty-one flavors of ice cream and you can have whatever you’d like. Evie is a gorgeous doll but I don’t know if her and her girlfriend have agreed to... you know? But then there’s also KD and she’s a marvelous and beautiful dancer. You really can’t go wrong with any of those choices and I’m sure if you’d like, there are patrons here that hook up with eachother as well”

Fancy brought one of his hands up and pressed her cheek into his palm, holding his hand there; she needed to tell him. “Sebastian would never hurt me it’s just,” She hesitated while looking at him, biting her lip and still in denial “I think when he and I were arguing on the stairs and he grabbed me to pull me back - it could’ve been me tugging too and it’s only a suspicion but I think... I think he might’ve pushed me” 

“Nothing you can pull out of your ass last minute? I’m sure you’ve had a few things up there but they might not be useful for this situation. Nicolas is worth anything at this point so I either get Sebastian on my side to help me or I’m lost. I wish I could google this, could I use the google for this?”

Fancy shook her head but not because of his words, but because she didn’t want to lose the man infront of her. She still clung to him and gently caressed the side of his face, just enjoying his presence in general. “I’m scared to lose you but I feel like I can’t leave him even if I wanted to, I ran out of solutions and answers, and I don’t know what to do...” 

“I was afraid you’d say that and you usually always have a plan, or I at least could. Well... Thank you, Aidan, no matter what happens. But you know me, I always have to go out swinging” 

“I shot at him” She said quite calmly, thinking back to when she caught him with Gabby “And the person he was with, but still... Sebastian has never hit me or done anything but I think at that moment maybe, maybe he wanted to hurt me. I want to tell Nicolas but I’m scared he will kill him, Evie. Sebastian is changing but it’s not because of me, it’s because of... that person” 

“But my life isn’t easier though, it’s hell. If I stay with Sebastian, I can’t have a normal life with Nicolas and that’s not an option. I want that.”

“I would’ve told you but I was... tied up” she muttered, her eyes adverting just a little, starting to tremble again from the nerves. She was good at lying, but lying to him was horrible. “Sebastian is a prick, and I’m sorry he didn’t tell you...” His kiss silenced her as she clung to him and pulled him in deeper, not wanting to separate till she couldn’t breathe and finally broke away, her eyes searching his face before speaking “What would you have done if he was the one who hurt me...?” 

“Give me something to work with here, Aidan, anything. Please give me something you think I should do...”

“I spent a week with Nicolas and went to check on Sebastian and caught him with... someone, and well, I went to leave and we got into an argument by the stairs. He grabbed my arm, and I yanked, and we continued this tug of war.” Fancy was scared to the next bit of words but she still continued, playing with her fingers to calm her nerves “He looked at me with this look like I don’t know, and I think, maybe, I felt him push me and let go... I told Nicolas I fell down the stairs and Sebastian got help and took care of me. Everything is true except, well, me falling down the stairs. It could’ve been my tugging but I just think, you know?” 

“Could I try?” She asked, “I need to try or else what can I do? I don’t want to lose my life here and I don’t want to lose Nicolas, so what do I do? Rat them out? If I do, Sebastian goes too and I don’t think he deserves that” 

“Loud.” She said simply “That’s it. Sometimes he throws things, breaks things, but Sebastian would never hurt me... right?”
