Aw, jealous. Chewing on his lip, he glanced between Dei and Nic. On one hand, he was extremely cold and the time to cross from his seat to the the other side would make him a human popsicle. On the other, Nic looked sad, and Ellie had brought both of them here to be happy and good. It was to relieve the stress and heartache that was ingrained so tightly into their chests, not add to it. The sight of Ellie and Dei together surely added some sort of annoyance to his little boyfriend, as evident of the "nonchalant" pose that Nic took. Oh dear, how would this kid ever figure out that wasting energy on crushes was simply not worth it? Ellie had learned his lesson, perhaps it was time that Nic did as well.
"Is my Nic baby feeling a bit isolated?" Ellie pouted, holding his hand close to his chest as he shuffled over to the other side of the booth. He was already standing, so he might as well take advantage of his upright position and move over to comfort a sad child. "Better not be catching feelings. Baby, I'm not even here, I'm an illusion." A chuckle rose out from his chest at the TikTok reference, bumping the sour boy over so he may claim his seat. The fact that his reference didn't really make sense in the context was perhaps more characteristic of how quick the substances were affecting him than the emptying flask.
Burrowing his hands in Nic's pockets, Ellie noticed his hands were more frigid tonight than usual. He had the shitty extremity circulation thanks to his parents, but tonight they were like a corpse's. Perhaps it was the damage done to his hand that was letting the chill in faster than normal. The gauze that he tied around his finger was spotting on both sides, a reminder to himself that he'd need to change it soon or else there would be blood on some gorgeous clothes. Reluctantly the hand from the warm abyss that was the denim lining of the jacket, he tilted Nic's face gently towards his and planted a soft little kiss on fall-frosted lips. There were more things that the two of them could do to up their body temperatures, but for the sake of Dei there was no need to do those now.
"Is my baby all better now?" Ellie hummed, deep brown irises matching Nic's own gaze. He sincerely hoped the other wasn't thinking about stupid things like love where Ellie was concerned. Love was a pile of fucking lies that only served to hurt people; exhibit A: his mother, exhibit B: Chas. Nic was too good to feel the pain of heartbreak, too much of an angel to experience the directionless, dejected emotions that tore up Ellie's heart and mind. Chas could very well fuck himself, but it didn't seem like he would have go through that disgusting mess since he had pretty little Seb on his arm. A flash of hurt glowered behind Ellie's eyes, a rare emotion that surfaced for a second before disappearing where it came. Nic didn't need to pity him tonight. There was no time for mourning over something that simply was in Ellie's head.
