Nicky, on the other hand, looked absolutely crushed as he took in Neil's wrecked appearance. He reached out as soon as Neil was close enough and wrapped his hand around the back of Neil's neck. He carefully pulled Neil up against him and propped his chin on Neil's head. Nicky was tense as stone but the long breath he let out was shaky. "Oh, Neil," he said in a choked voice. "You look awful." "It'll fade," Neil said. "Most of it, anyway. Don't worry about it." Nicky's fingers tightened a fraction. "Don't you dare tell me you're fine. I can't hear that from you today, okay?”
no please, keep talking about what a heartless, no real emotion, shallow man Nicky is. Please do continue on your rant about Nicky being an undeveloped character with no discernible personality or feelings of his own.
that's a man that is SO tired of loving people who keep getting hurt, but keeps doing it.
that's the man that moved across continents to take care of two microscopic blonde cunts he barely had a relation with just to keep them safe. that's the man that gave up the opportunity to go back to his life in germany so those said blondes would get to go to uni. that's the man that wasn't just trying to keep the twins alive, but help them Live. the man that put SO much effort into healing their relationship so they would always have each other even once Nicky left.
