Ooc: it's all good, anything I can do to help with more Muse or just one of those days kind of deal?
Ic: Nico looked even more shocked as Alexander had covered his mouth mid sentence. He quickly just jumped back out of instinct batting his hand off of him. He ran a hand through his own hair in attempt to calm himself down. "It's it's fine. I just didn't want you knowing.. anyone knowin. I'm so screwed." He was stressed out and verbalizong his stress now
Ooc: don't worry it's just one of those days
Ic: Jack quickly pulled his hand away "sorry!" He said. He tried to approach Nico again, "I promise I won't tell anyone" he said "it's not my secret to tell". He looked over at Katrina, "I'm guessing she's known for a while?" He asked
Katrina had been mostly been ignored in this by Nico kind of off to shadows since she didn't know how to help but she just agreed, "yeah I've known forever."
"Yes. She's known since I was five." Nico said matter of factly. Trying to stop his anxious pacing by looking at Alexander.
Alexander nodded "I think maybe you should sit down" he said "I didn't mean to offend you when I called you a girl. I was just surprised, but it doesn't change anything I hope.". He sat down on the bed "but is your chest binder hurting you?" He asked "I can leave so you can change into something more comfortable"
Nico waved him off, "No no I'm fine really." He told him still playing by that 'i don't need help' role that he has just placed in his head now. He at least stopped pacing for a little bit and ended up sitting down the other boy looking down at his knees. "I just need a drink.." He muttered not really meaning it but he also just wanted to escape from all of this. It was to much for him to handle and there wasn't enough roles in the world that he could just snap into and act like now. He couldn't put on any show and parade around like everything was fine because for him he felt like everything in his world was over and this was the final curtian call.
Alexander laughed "I think what you need is a glass of water" he said "getting drunk off your ass isn't going to help, trust me". "Is there anything I can do to help?" He asked turning towards him, his knees now touching Nico's. He hoped the other boy would look at him "this must be over whelming, but nothing's going to change. I won't tell, and people won't know. You'll still be Nico Bartell" he said
Nico nodded slightly and made a noise of agreement not really feeling up to talking at the moment. He was trying to hold his composer but it was hard. He glanced up at the other when he felt his knee get touched, "you promise you're not going to tell. Not even your friend. No one is supposed to know." His tone was as serious he could make it.
Alexander nodded "I promise I won't tell a soul" he said equally serious, "no one will know, and tomorrow you can go back to being the lead male in the play and pretend that tonight never happened. I hope we could still be friends, but if you're too uncomfortable I understand"
The boy felt a wave of relief wash over him after hearing those words. He couldn't help himself, quickly moving to give Alexander a hug. "Thank you. Thank you so much."
Alexander was surprised, but relieved at the hug. At least they wouldn't have to part on a bad note "Y-you're welcome" he said hugging him back, "honestly I'm just trying to be a decent excuse of a friend"
Nico let go shortly after the hug was returned not sure what to say for a few seconds, "it's okay." He finally was able to Alexander.
Ooc: okay do you have any plot ideas? I'm not all to sure where to go from here
OOC: I'm not sure, they should start falling for each other or at least Nico should start to
ooc: alright welll i don't imgine nico is going to start right here at the party because he just isn't all there mentally and it's the first time the two have really really talked. Should we do dome time skipping to maybe a month in the future. The two of them have been talking and doing some stuff after rehearsal like Alexander, Kat, Lisa (right? I'm trying to remember oops), and Nico go out to dinner afterwards sometimes and or Alexander and Nico have been over to each others respective houses and watched movies or played video games stuff teenagers do after school. never really talking about crushes or anything of that nature just chilling and becoming better friends..
Noooow i'm coming up with it as I write but what if where we pick up is the week of the play, something ends up happening where the two of them either get super super close and into a akwardly weird situation or maybe even accidentally kiss I'm not sure. but something goes down either during the preformance whether it be back stage or on stage or maybe its after the preformance.
ooc: Knightingale everything alright? just wanting to check up and I couldn't message you any other way
Ooc: yes! Sorry! And I like the last idea where they accidentally get into an awkward situation, or accidentally kiss.
Ooc: aaawesommeee do you want to start it? It is your turn techinally
ooc: bump
Ooc: sure! And sorry for all the late replies
Alexander had managed to keep Nico's secret through out the whole time they were at the party and after. He didn't even tell Lisa, who knew something was up, but didn't push. The play went along as it should, with many rehearsals and parties. At first Alexander was wary around Nico, thinking he'd severed any chance he had of becoming close. Fate had then proven him wrong when he actually got closer to Nico because of the secret. They spent a lot of time together because of the play and all the technical stuff such as mics and spot lights.
At the moment he was getting himself tangled up in wires back stage. One of their many speakers had blown out and he couldn't figure out which one. "Lisa would you stop laughing at me and actually help?!" He called out.
ooc: it's fine man
ic: After some time hanging out with Alexander over the next few weeks, Nico had begun to find out more and more about the guy. Never having really known him much before besides the fact that he had done crew for a few of the shows Nico had been in. Now they were actually getting somewhat close it was nice to have another friend that at least knew Nico's secret. He didn't have many friends and the fact that he was making a new one was so interesting to him for the fact that it was completely new.
Today was jusdt another day at rehearsal, the show was coming up in the next week and now they were in the midst of the hell weeks of dress rehearsals. Everything had to get done and get done fast. The dark haired boy had been chilling out back stage with some of the other cast as they had their own break since crew needed to get a few things done. He had looked up from the conversation he had been having to see ALexander covered in criscrossing wires that looked like absolete hell. Lisa was standing there "helping" but was really making it worse as she just couldn't get over the fact that Alexander had actually gotten this badly tangled. The boy got up off the floor to see if he could help out. "Heeyy you look a bit tied up right about now...need a hand?"
Alexander cursed at her, though the words held no heat. He again tried to work his way out of the wires, but to know avail. Turning around to a familiar voice, he both smiled and blushed at seeing Nico. Fortunately for Alexander it was decently dark back stage "how about five?" He asked with a chuckle, he felt a little embarrassed at the situation in front of his crush. Lisa seemed to be waiting for this opportunity and quietly slunk away from the two.
