“I want to thank you all for coming out tonight…” A smile spreads as he listens to the roar of the crowd go up another decibel. Body slick with sweat from running around the stage like a mad man for the past two hours the show is starting to wind down. Nico’s hazel eyes scanning the audience or what he can see of it from the stage. “You don’t know what it means to us to see you guys every time we tour, and today of all days. Happy Valentine's Day by the way.” Another roar as he  leans against the microphone stand, head lolling to one side. “The next one I want to dedicate to a special lady who is backstage. Instead of some fancy dinner she settled for watching me and the band tonight and I just want to say thank you. This one is for her and for all of you.”

Offering a glance to the side of the stage where he knows she is watching he offers a small wink as the rest of the band drums into the song. By the time he is walking off stage another half hour has passed and the crowd is still screaming for more. “Fuck, I am starving.” Sighing as he runs a towel over his face Nico weaves his way through the array of people backstage. Nodding greetings to a few but he is in search for one person. “Hey, where did you run off to?” His tone is soft as he loops an arm around Mariah’s shoulder, pulling her close despite being a sweaty mess. “You missed your favorite song. We did is as the last encore.” Placing a kiss on her head he guided them further from the stage towards the dressing room.

"trust me the other guy looks a lot worse." grinning as he hung his head over the kitchen sink he let the blood from his nose flow freely. one hand gripping the edge of the counter while the other fished around the back pocket of his jeans. pulling a small wad of bills, and small bag of whatever pills he had managed to get his hands on for the night. "not sure if it's the pretty boy exterior or the music but i have to get a dealer who does house calls. shit's getting dangerous."

open to: f/femme presenting (preference black/woc muses) connection: long-term girlfriend/pre-existing relationship - feel free to read his bio here scenario: your muse has reached their breaking point with nico’s hard partying/drug use and is finally ending things or at least trying to. 

“You can’t be serious.” Brow raising in confusion as she stands in the doorway of their bedroom, bags in hand; he is still busy trying to figure out how they got to this point. They were fine, better than fine…weren’t they? He had complied with her wishes, done the AA meetings, relaxed on the pills, shit he had even stopped smoking before bed. So what he had gone out with the boys and gotten a little crazy. It was Christmas and he had been on his best behavior until now.  “I did everything you asked of me and you are still leaving? What the fuck was the point?!”

"you still mad at me?" he mumbles the words out as he relaxes into the chair opposite hers. eyes playful despite the broken glass in a swept pile in the corner. "m'sorry about the window but you weren't answering my calls and had to see you. got a little carried away. i'll get it fixed tomorrow."

“you have been avoiding me…” there is a smile on his face as he whispers in her ear. his own body towering over hers but not by much. nico hadn’t seen her since that night in the studio over the summer. blame the heat, the long hours, or the music they’d been making but they had given into their worse thoughts and by morning she was stumbling out of his penthouse. full of excuses as hands struggled to slip the straps of her dress back in place. since then he had been person non grata; until today.

sunglasses sliding down the bridge of his nose as they stood in the very same studio, their managers staring at them as if they were two misbehaving children. he knew why they were there and to say he was giddy with excitement was an understatement. still he didn’t let the news slip as her team explained the change in plans, in her plans. eyes glued to her features he watched it morph, going from shock, disbelief, and now staring up at him as if he were the one who had set it all in motion. “for the record this was not my idea. your team said you need to spice up your image and who better than…me.” his lips twitch as the grin grows wider. “looks like it’s just me and you babe.”

"what the fuck..." eyes barely opening as he glanced up at the production assistant who had been sent to wake him nico let out an annoyed grown. body rolling so he was no longer facing the poor 20-something trying to explain that they were ready for him on set. he had gone a little to hard the night before and had completely forgot about his call time at 6am. sure it was a small role in some a24 bullshit but his manager had advised that it would look good if he dipped his toe into acting. "give me five more minutes." mumbling as his body started to relax back into the couch it felt as if he was just falling back asleep when someone was shoving him. "aye no touching the talent!" voice harsh with annoyance as his eyes shot open he moved to sit up. hazel eyes focusing in on the person who was not there before. "oh shit...hey."

" lorena i...can't be the guy you want." shrugging as he glanced at her from across the table nico shrugged. eyes shifting around the overpriced restaurant. "i'm not the take home to your parents type but i love you. so that should count for something right? that should be enough."
