Rach doesn't look like it at first glance, but she is watching that stranger like a hawk the second she picks up signals from them to Nic. It doesn't matter how far she is, she'll gradually slink her way over to be a presence in the bubble. Girls a bit of an eavesdropper until they leave or get the hint she's there listening as well. She doesn't make a big thing about it after either. At most, she may stay close, but she's got a facade to keep up after all!

I'm curious what Nic is like if she gets hit on though~

Depends on who is hitting on her!

Generally, if a girl hits on someone he's interested in, Nick doesn't interfere unless the person is looking super uncomfortable or vulnerable. Even with most guys he reacts the same; stays relatively close, pretending not to be paying attention but is watching the entire time from behind his shades, ready to step in if things take a turn.

However, if it's an especially gross/arrogant guy hitting on her? Somebody who just gives off the shittiest, most rank vibes? Nick is immediately stepping in and making a show of where her loyalties lie; putting an arm around her shoulders, pulling her to his side and asking the classic 'this guy bothering you?' question. It's not that he thinks she's incapable of protecting herself and setting boundaries--it's the thought of someone as slimey as some men can be trying to take advantage of her that makes his blood boil. He'd rather start a fight or make a fool of himself than let that possibility come close to becoming reality.

🎲-One roll for EL Woowoo.

🎲-Aaaaaand one for Swiss Army Nai.~

Both are subject to Rachael and she prays it's nothing she's going to regret.

8. A platonic kiss!

He'd woken up to the sensation of someone nudging him awake and saying his name. Still under a blanket of sleep, Nick barely recognized Rachael's voice saying that she couldn't sleep--maybe something about a nightmare, or general restlessness? Either way, he knew the drill; for some reason, he seemed to be the one that everyone in the party bugged in the middle of the night when they had trouble sleeping. Caz said it was because of his body type and way he clung to people in his sleep that brought a sense of security and comfort, but he never really believed that.

Regardless, even though Rachael didn't outright ask to sleep with him, Nick lifted the blanket up with a groggy grunt inviting her in. After she got comfortable snuggled in next to him he put an arm around her and brought her close to his chest. With a soft kiss to the top of her head, his body relaxed again and he went back to sleep.

5. A firm kiss!

That was a disaster--why Rachael insisted he be the one to try and smooth talk their way into the establishment escaped him. A "pretty-boy face" as she put it didn't do jack shit when your attitude reflected how little you wanted to be doing what you were. What need would he have with being able to woo a human woman when he could just take what he wanted if he wanted it badly enough?

That still didn't stop the redhead from mercilessly ragging on how bad his "game" was; he was too stern, too 'constipated' looking, not 'flirty' enough--laughing at him for how awkward and stiff he looked during the whole exchange until the woman rejected him. Nai didn't care that the plain woman wasn't charmed by him; what did annoy him to no end, however, was Rachael's childish teasing and insults. None of these were important skills! It didn't aid in their survival whatsoever!! So why did it drive him insane when this red head gave him such a hard time about it?!

After a comment about his presumed "lack of any physical affection from a woman growing up", the proverbial Tomas' back broke under the weight of the straw it carried. Why it prompted him to reach out and grab the front of her shirt to pull her in, he wasn't entirely sure. Was it the topic of conversation putting the idea in his head to smash his face against hers? Nai just wanted her to shut up--and his emotional subconscious decided that the best way to do that was to yank her in and firmly press his lips against hers.

It was brief as it was sudden, Nai glaring down at Rachael with piercing blue eyes and just the faintest hint of red on the apples of his cheeks.

"Would you just shut up already?" He growled, still holding her by the front of her shirt. "Do something more useful with your mouth instead of incessantly mocking me. Or was this your way of saying you wanted to kiss me?"
