“You can’t help! You’re just trying to trick me like the rest of them! Aren’t you? Aren’t you?!”

(First off, rude but I will take it)

Isaac laughs through the pain, “You’re gonna carry me?” He winches at the pain in his gut. “My feet are gonna drag the whole time there. Where’s Scott he can actually help. How are you supposed to get me up a while flight of stairs?”

“Me? You want to lean on me?” Kai asks with a tilt of his head trying to figure out her angle. “What like some kind of cozy couch scene?”

“I don’t know but I’m sure you deserve it or you will soon.”

“I think that entirely depends on what you define as good. To me, good people are those who surpass what life has set in their way and still manage to respect others and the world in the process, and I think you’re terribly good at doing just that. You’re allowed to consider yourself every now and again, you know? It’s not selfish to want something, you just have to be willing to accept the way other people feel about your decisions. Life - unfortunately for me - is hard to predict, but it’s not what you’ve done, it’s what you do that defines you.” He replied, putting a glass of water in front of her and joining her on his couch. “I don’t think a terrible person would be as worked up about this as you are.” 

“Your word doesn’t me anything to me right now, nothing you say...nothing you say holds any merit because you’ve proven that it doesn’t mean shit to you, either,” Nolan replied, coldly, still angry about the events of the weekend before. He was well aware that this could cost him his home and his friend, but...maybe it’d be better that way. At least when he was living with his coworker, he didn’t have anyone to abandon him. For as much as he hated loneliness, it was easier to know no one. It was easier to choose to be alone than to let people do it for him.

“I don’t need protection. I don’t need anyone to save me from the world. I’m an adult. I’m not some useless kid you need to coddle. What I needed was for you to be there when...when you said you would be and you weren’t.” 

“And sometimes we can just ignore it until it goes away. Like you. How long do I have to ignore you until you go away?” 

“What about that crocodile hunter guy? He seemed pretty fearless to me,” Liam countered, flipping through the catalogue of flower arrangements Nicola kept in the shop to show customers. “Most people in Australia have to be pretty fearless, they live in a hellscape with giant spiders.”
