☽ NYX ☾
“So, I got this friend I want you to meet,” said Nyx, walking along the sandy coastline but a safe enough distance from the water. There was a little twist in her gut she didn’t make obvious but if you knew her you could tell by the way she shuffled her paws against the sand instead of taking her usual long strides.
Nyx told herself it was just being at the beach, somewhere she’d never fucking go but was here because that was the kind of place Kole liked so she figured they had better odds of finding her here. But she knew it was more than that.
She looked over her shoulder just behind her. “Her name’s Kole. She’s weird as fuck but pretty cool, and she’s been wanting me to run away with her for a while, travel together sort of like I used to with Emmett,” Nyx gave a short explanation, so Issa would have the basic details and an idea why Nyx was even bothering with this. She was planning on keeping Issa around for as long as she allowed it. If Kole wanted to be a part of Nyx’s life now, she was bound to meet Issa at some point, and vice-versa she guessed.
Plus, there was a lot to keep clear, considering all the mess she had before with Kole… she really wasn’t bothered by that anymore. It was over and done with, there was no hard feelings between them and never anything that deep to start with, but she had to be honest with Issa about everything before going in despite all the nerves and how her brain helpfully provided ten million ways this could all go wrong.
If she didn’t say it, it was probably never going to be said and it was just going to keep bothering her. Unless Kole said something. Yikes. She can’t let that happen.
Nyx took a deep breath and let it go, before she stopped and slowly turned around. This was important enough to take a quick break for. She eased onto her haunches, hoping sitting would help ground her while she got this over with.
“But there’s something I gotta tell you first,” she started, a little hesitant and watching to see if she had Issa’s attention. Another deep inhale before she continued. "We hooked up a little while back. Are you okay with that?"
