[color=#B0C4DE]”At this present moment? No. In the future? Definitely,”[/color] Avery chuckled. He stuck his tongue out at her before moving to massage her feet. [color=#B0C4DE]”Brat,”[/color] he said while he untied her shoes and took off her socks.

[color=#DB7093]”I think you underestimate how cruel I can be,”[/color] she whispered. 

After she lost everything, she had floated through her days in a haze, a mixture of hate and sadness had coursed through her veins in a deadly combination. When she started working to save other witches, she didn't give a second thought to eviscerating the villages. Women, children. They were all the same to her. Cruel, heartless monsters that she needed to put down. At some point she had become the monster she needed to take down. 

Cassiopeia watched Nic's face while she moved her finger. His kindness didn't help the lead weight in her stomach, nor the gentleness of his touch. The tears continued to fall down Cassi's face, coming in earnest because of the understanding Nic was showing her. At the mention of him dying one day, Cassi wrapped her arms around Nic and buried her face in his chest.

[color=#DB7093]”Don't talk like that. You're going to outlive me,”[/color] she mumbled into his chest. Cassiopeia held on to Nic for a long time, seeking comfort in his hold. She sighed after pulling back some time later. 

[color=#DB7093]”I know you're trying to help, Nic, and I love you for that, but I don't know how to separate Caden from this. It sounds stupid, but it feels like he's choosing Nero over me.”[/color]

Caden held Nero close, rubbing their back while they both processed this newly found information. It was only further confirmation that Nero was waiting for Caden. That Caden had been searching for them unconsciously. 

[color=#006400]”Are you okay?”[/color] Caden asked after some time had passed.
