in this world, the world of socialites he found himself within. nico knew what it was like to be eaten up and swallowed whole. it was why, he worked his ass off and fought to keep himself sane in the world. to avoid the savages that were constantly working to destroy him. his family was one, that the savages and add on's just found themselves attracted to. two powerful sides with his mother and father, who birthed children who found a niche in every direction. and it was a liquid goldmine, in regards to how much scandal they could find. or there were, of course, the people, who wanted to attach to them. for the fame. to better their own standing. and nico hated the fucking world. and tried his hardest to avoid it. to stay in the shadows. to keep himself as far as he could. but even in the shadows, SHE had seen him. she'd not only gotten close to him. but seemed to unravel him in a way he hadn't been prepared for. nor did he have a defence against. [ though nine times out of time, he didn't want to defend himself. ] then there was what was happening, between them that unravelled him the most. it was just sex. at least to her, but it had stopped being that to him. a good few months into it. he had fallen for her, in the soft moments they managed to sneak in, between the sex. in the small details she shared. and it was because of this, he allowed himself to be used. allowed his body to be her release. at least for a time. because even with, his need to be close to her. he was a man with his limits: even he could only take so much before his heart gave up. so he managed to convince his siblings to fulfil all the other appointments he had. the galas and charity events he was supposed to be at, now filled by his siblings. who thrived in that world better. instead, he disappeared to his private house. to work on his own business adventures. and to simply recoup himself.
he sighs softly, as he walks back towards the house. sweat dripping from his frame, proof of his workout he'd just been undertaking. his legs burning from the intense run along the beach. a drunk water bottle dangling from his fingers, as he works to regulate his breathing. the early morning sun, clinging desperately to the air. covering everything in a silence, which most didn't get to appreciate. after all, not everyone was awake at this time. everyone else relishing in the warmth of their beds. in the gentle embrace of sleep: but he'd never been one to do that. being lazy wasn't in his nature. and thus he didn't expect anyone else. to be around in this moment. the silence was normally his only company. [ just how he liked it in all reality. the silence was calming. ] thus as a knock rings out on the door, confusion is the prominent emotion on his face. as he lowers the new drink from his lips. staring at the door for a few moments. before heading to the door. opening it ready to tell the person to fuck off. his whole body freezing as jade green eyes, land on astra. standing there on his doorstep, looking as out of place as he had ever seen her. the confidence she normally walked with, gone. and it has him relaxing a little. yet the confusion he was feeling. was still written upon his face. ❛ i'm guessing 'Rina told you .... ❜ he states softly, waving a hand in a sweep towards the house. he could only guess it was her, as his family wouldn't. and the other person who knew this place, was karina. due to her visits to talk about the potential business dealings they were thinking of doing. plus she was friends with astra. so to him, it made sense. ❛ can i help you little dove .... ❜ he asks softly. now letting his curiosity burn loose, as it had been weeks since he'd last seen her. longer it truly felt like. and whilst his hands itched to hold her, he ignores it. crossing his arms over his chest. waiting to know where this was going.
