#nathxlex

I was tagged by @luxxesitacdm a while ago (thank you! didn’t expect it at all) and finally had the time to put this together.

Nath knew from her sister that Lex didn’t want to join her galentines party and assumed she’d spend the evening at home. The thought of her alone with the ghosts of the past came to his mind, sitting on the floor with old pictures and a gin and tonic in her hands. Lysander always made this day special for her when they were together. 

“I’ll just check on her and if she kicks me out at least I know she’s fine”. He planned to come around with some snacks while going grocery shopping, getting a rose from the cashier as a special service for the day. At first he wanted to throw it away into the nearest trash bin but kept it as a joke. Knowing her favorite food spot, Nath also ordered pizza there and picked it up afterwards. "Oh you're going to have a date today? Then our offer is perfect for you!" was the comment of the waiter for the rose in his hand and handed him a box with a heart-shaped pizza.

That wasn't how Nath wanted to stand in front of her door and it made him nervous to think about her possible reactions. But here he was now, waiting for her to open the door and laughing at him for this ridiculous appearance. Was this even necessary? Was he overthinking the whole situation? Was he crossing a border between them with his actions?

"Nath...?" A familiar curious voice pulled him out of his toughts and Lex leaned against the doorframe. Her gaze wandered over his face down to the soft pink rose in his hands. Following her eyes he should make a joke about his struggle to avoid the whole valentines day stuff. But his mind was too earnest in this moment and brought up a simple "I was worried about you." He handed the rose over to her and added "and it wasn’t possible to avoid this. Even the pizza has a heart-shape” She raised an eyebrow but her lips already formed a smile. “Gosh, just come in, we’ll eat it anyway”. 

I haven’t played the latest episode (since I’m still in episode 7), but I would’ve prefered a less angsty illustration..

Decisions were made, but she still can’t let go of her old memories…

“Thanks for taking me home.”

“Thanks for letting me stay here. And for the breakfast coffee..”

“Don’t think that’s the treatment everyone gets here.”

“That’s not what I thought, but seeing you in those pants was unexpected.”

“Why? They’re comfortable.”

“Are those bats? That’s so cliché, but they look cute on you.”
