All of you is cute, Niko!

Driving them back to Nikolai's house, "Hey listen, we're still not far away, we can turn back and go talk to your mother again!" Jin said hopefully.

"For the love of God Jin! please if you mention that we can talk to her once more I might have to cut you off you too!" Nikolai replied.

"I'm sorry but you've been too stubborn just like her! which I can see how she's your mother!" Jin said, "You obviously knew that I planned to leave, you helped me dress-up and you stood by me when she asked who you work with, so why are you now changing your mind?" Nikolai asked frowning.

"You don't understand, I've lost my mother! and she was all I got for a while, at least yours is still alive! and she really seems to love you a lot.

You don't wanna end-up like me, Radka looked so serious when she said she won't even welcome you in her funeral!" Jin replied.

"I still have my dad, he said he'll talk to her! she's gonna realize she's being a dick and apologize to me! Humph!" Nikolai said.

Defeated, "Oh God! you really are her son..." Jin replied.

"Listen with all respect to your trauma and whatever you've went through, I have to remind you that not everybody lives in your world or operates by its rules.

In my world I believe in getting even, at least for now! I've let so many people walk all over me, I'm not just gonna let her do the same just because she's my mother!" Nikolai spoke-up.

"I know it's wrong to forgive family when they cross you over, nobody should be easily forgiven when they do that but what I'm trying to say is...you started it! let's be honest!" Jin replied.

"Oh! that's your point!" Nikolai said angrily, "Before you attack me, what I mean is that she was already on edge when she came back home and your father has been trying his best to lighten-up the mood.

I even made a cake and tea to help and I came to your room to ask you to come have some with us! we were supposed to try and make it all better but instead you picked a fight with her!" Jin explained.

"Oh I'm sorry I wasn't in the mood for cake and tea! should we go back although I'm sure that tea is ice-tea by now!" Nikolai replied sarcastically.

"Are you mocking me?! I'm not the enemy here Niko?!"

"Then stop supporting the enemy Jin!"

"Niko!"

"I've told you I'm not changing my mind Jin! My dear Mama can go to hell if she want to.

I've had enough with her anyways, I've always been close with my dad.

She can say she loves me and that she cares about me but she didn't try hard enough, and I just realized that.

I mean even though he was her business partner, my dad at least did his best to be there for me!" Nikolai said.

"But to be fair, your dad was a stay at home dad, of course he was there!" Jin replied.

"You don't understand, even when he wasn't a stay at home dad, he was still down to talking with me and stuff like that, it was always easier to talk to him, it was always easier to sit down and have a chat and some cake and tea with him instead of her.

She was okay, but her and I weren't that close, my mother has always been the head of the family, the strong figure, the scary parent so to say...

It's true she was still kind and respectful in her own way, but like I said she can make you shit your pants if she want to.

She was the one to say no when she didn't like something that I do, she was the one to stand in my way and block it like she did right now in the living room.

Her and I may not have had a disastrous relationship but it was far from smooth sailing to begin with, and this whole death threat things it's just the nail in the coffin!" Nikolai explained.

"Well I'm glad you're realizing your worth and that people shouldn't step on you, but it just came off odd and at odd time too!

You were fine when you went to sleep and then somehow you woke-up wanting to leave the whole town!" Jin said.

"Don't laugh at me but...when I was asleep, I had a nightmare okay! I can't really explain it in details since you forget 90% of it anyway when you wake-up.

It's just that this town has always been bad news to me ever since I came here, My life little by little became worse, it only got better when I left and I just had a nightmare that if I stuck around here... I would lose you too." Nikolai said, he was suddenly feeling embarrassed and shy realizing what he said.

Blushing, "You're telling me you want to leave because you don't wanna lose me?" Jin asked.

"I know it's just a stupid dream but just hear me out!

I've been a douchebag to you ever since you've comeback and become my bodyguard...Well, probably because I believe you were a bigger douchebag than me back when we were highschool kids that's for sure, but you get the point!

I just regret so much of our relationship Jin, I wish we had a normal start with a normal end and a normal comeback, but we didn't!

And instead of like understanding that you've also been a victim in all of this, I just blamed you for everything.

But now that we're officially together, it just dawned on me that I've been a shitty bastard to you and I want us to be together!" Nikolai said.

"But we're already together, you said it! We're officially together!" Jin replied.

"I know but I want us to be together the right way! because I've never felt so comfortable with somebody else before like with you!

People be like 'unless he makes you feel the butterflies in your stomach, he ain't the one!' but the truth is, the butterflies are a sign of anxiety and discomfort, but when I'm with you I feel relaxed and safe!

It's a feeling I don't have with other people!" Nikolai replied.

Blushing aggressively, "Damn!...I have been successfully brainwashed!

You know what, let's forget about your mother! you're right you're an adult, we're adults! Let's leave! it's us against the world now!" Jin said.

"HELL YEAH!" Nikolai cheered.

Chuckling, "You know Niko! it's moments like this when you blur out the most real and sweetest things ever that makes me believe in us more and more.

I'm glad that you're telling me how you feel, and I want you to know that I feel the same.

I'm really comfortable around you and yes you've been a douchebag but it's part of the deal, besides it's too cute for me to get angry at you anyways!" Jin said.

"So you think douchey me is cute?"

"All of you is cute, Niko!"

"Ugh! you're too good at flirting!" Nikolai said, then he thought for a second before he spoke again, "I'm well aware we can't just leave right now, at least until we gather all of our stuff and make a plan."

"Yeah, we need to figure out where to go next, it might take couple of days, unless you wanna leave right now." Jin replied.

"No, couple of days are fine, but I'm selling my house once we leave." Nikolai said.

"What about your greenhouse!"

"I'll keep my house as it is, until we move out then I put it on sale.

By the time somebody decided to buy it, we would've been already moved out with our stuff to our new house."

"Our new house?" Jin questioned.

"Why you're surprised? you're moving in with me, I mean we're boyfriends!" Nikolai replied.

"You mean I'm not just moving because it's my job to protect you?"

"No you're gonna live with me as my boyfriend too.

Also if you want, you can have your own room, but first let's find where we want to live next, I'd love somewhere more fun and alive than this town.

Although I know houses are going to be much more expensive in an area like that, than an area like this, but thankfully I still got money in the bank and if I sell this stupid house, I'll have even more so we can get somewhere nice for the two of us!" Nikolai explained.

"With your own money?" Jin asked.

"Yeah? Why?...Wait, are you afraid you're gonna be a burden on me? don't!

I insist on this, I'm buying us a house and you will move with me, it's end of discussion!" Nikolai replied.

"You're serious! do you know how much houses cost? I mean I know you can easily buy one but it still feels too expensive for me to just join in!" Jin said.

"Meh! You shouldn't feel that way! I can understand where you're coming from, after all I was poor too.

But now I'm rich, so let me take care of you! don't worry about the money, as long as you're a nice boyfriend and you keep cooking me those meals that I'm very much sure will bring me back to the days when I was chubby cheeks and all, you don't have to worry about paying for anything, I swear I won't hold it over your head!" Nikolai replied.

"Really?"

"I swear on anything you want, I promise I'm not gonna be one of those toxic boyfriends who make their partner feel so bad because of money.

You're already doing a lot more than your paycheck required which is protecting me, I mean you're doing the house chores, the gardening, the cooking, and so on!

Those stuff are very important and actually expensive if I were to hire other people to do them separately." Nikolai replied.

"Oh wow, okay! I guess, let's move together!" Jin said.

Smiling, "I don't have that many talents you know, I'm not really good at taking care of people in an emotional sense.

I've already stated that I'm a douchebag, and ever since I got money, it became the only way I know how to take care of other people.

So I'm sorry if I end-up sounding sometimes like a rich snob, it's just I really wanna take care of you in my own way Jinnie, you've been taking care of me and tolerating me this whole time.

Despite all of my prejudice against you, you've stuck by me." Nikolai replied.

Stopping at a red light, Jin's face was more red than the red light itself, "I don't know what's going on exactly with you today, if it's really just a nightmare that made you feel all of this, but I'm just grateful that you're saying this stuff..." Jin said.

"I can't really see it, but I bet you're red as Hell haha!" Nikolai laughed, "Of course I am! When you attacked me with romantic phrases left and right...how am I not supposed to be blushing!" Jin replied.

Sighing happily, "I really miss seeing your face clearly, well at least I'm gonna have the surgery soon and then I get to tease you again and see you turn into a tomato." Nikolai said.

Realizing something, "Hey since you can't see really clearly, how are you going to pick a place so we can move to? You'll need to look at some pictures, you know?" Jin asked.

"Well I'm going to leave that part to you Jinnie, I trust that you'll find us something nice and far away from here!" Nikolai replied.

"Are you sure about that?"

"Absolutely positive."

"Then I'll see what I can do." Jin replied smiling.
