The primal urge to obsessively access your uni portal to see if your classes have been released, so you can read the syllabi thirty-seven times before class next week.

I looked at Caden when Nero said Nic was freakishly tall. Caden was over six feet as well, but not as tall as Nic’s 6’4”. I wiggle in my seat to keep from blushing at the thought of him bending to kiss me. Nero's next question is enough to distract me from my thoughts.

”I was in shock,” I confess.

”What! No, I…” I scrambled for something to say, but only seemed to turn more red. I looked at Caden who looked at me worriedly. I sighed.
”He thanked me and kissed me…” I mumbled.

I watched Cassi with some concern and was surprised when she seemed so concerned with what just happened. ”Cass, this isn't a bad thing, unless you really don't like him that way. Then I can go and talk to him.”

”No, no… I mean, I think I do like him, I just… It's just weird timing.” She rubs her arms, looking back at the station for a moment before looking at me. ”Can you just take me home? I fear for the state of my apartment with the cats being unattended all day.”

I smile and nod. ”Something sweet before I drop you off?” Cassi nodded. I smiled and we piled into the car, so I could get Cassi a milkshake.

”He kissed me for all I did, like a thank you. I told him he would have to give you two a kiss as well,” Cassi said after we were driving.

I started to laugh.

”Spüren,” I state. I stay silent for a moment more before I relax and look at Nero. I kiss their forehead. ”Das ist etwas, was ich tue, um Gefahren zu erkennen oder wenn sich etwas komisch anfühlt. Alle meine Sinne werden hyperfokussiert und bewusst,” I explain. ”It’s old magic. Drachenmagie.”

I blush, looking away from Nic and tuck my hair further behind my ear. I look back to see the two of them holding each other. I smile and duck out before Nic looks back. I whisper goodbye to Avery before I make my way out of the station. Outside, I stand still for a moment.

Did all of that really just happen? I fiddle with my hair, thinking for longer than necessary. I shake myself out and look 'round for Caden and Nero. They are back by the car, and I head that way. Ready to go home and rest for the evening.

I chuckle and grab our drinks, thanking the barista before I hand Nero their caramel macchiato. ”Noch nicht. Ich habe nichts dagegen, dass du Seide trägst.”

I sip my cold coffee, finding it refreshing and rest my arm across Nero’s shoulders once more. I scan the area, looking down either street and up at the tall buildings. I become rather still while my senses extend themselves, looking for anything out of place. For any danger.

I blanche when Nic points out my face matching my hair. I swat his hand away, putting the backs of my hands to my cheeks to try and calm myself down. I can’t believe he wants to kiss me again. Or that he mentions it here of all places.

”This is vastly inappropriate. You’re supposed to be in mourning,” I scold. ”Go, be with your dad.” I say and back out the door.

I chuckle and pull Nero out of the way once our orders are placed. ”Kann ich davon ausgehen, dass du diese Nacht wieder mit mir verbringen wirst?” I ask. I already assumed Nero would, but perhaps they had matters to attend to at their house.

I’m fairly certain my face is now the same shade of red that my hair is. At least, I can feel the heat radiating off of it as I try to avoid looking at Nic, although, I find myself looking for his eyes before I get shy again and look away.

”I know, but it doesn’t feel right for me to be here…And I’ll be there tomorrow.” I look around the room, feeling Nic’s fingers in my hair, and I tighten my hands on my bag to keep from leaning into that touch.

”Caden and Nero were a big help.” I feel the heat drain from my face, and I look at Nic. ”I’m sure they would appreciate a kiss,” I joke.

”Mmm, we’ll see,” I said. We reach the coffee cart and I order something iced for myself. ”What would you like?” I ask Nero.

I talk over Nic when he tries to stop me. I don’t stop until his fingers touch my chin, and my words waver. I have to look up at him, once again forgetting how tall he is. He calls me perfect, and I want to laugh in his face, but I don’t get the opportunity to. It’s brief, with no real sense of intimacy to it, but the kiss is still enough to stun me into silence.

Sound hallows out around me as Nic pulls me into a hug. I can’t even move my arms. Did he seriously just kiss me? The sound of being underwater fades, and I can move again. I wrap my arms around Nic and return the hug.

”I should go,” I whisper. ”This is supposed to be for you and your dad.”

I chuckle darkly and walk, leading them to the coffee cart. ”I can think of a hundred other ways I’d rather keep you up at night with,” I whisper into their ear.

I pace outside the door after the two of them go in. Avery stands in the corner, watching me with amusement as I fiddle with my hair. I put it up and down twice before Nic calls me. I freeze, worried I’ve done something wrong. Dammit Cass. You always go too far, I chide myself mentally. I walk into the room, hesitating on the threshold.

”Is it the red furniture? I read there wasn’t supposed to be colour but also that some traditions aren’t always followed in America but I wanted to keep everything as traditional as I could but it was last minute but the older lady at the shop told Caden it was fine and his Madarinan is impeccable so I’m sure he didn’t get it wrong…” I keep rambling, unable to stop myself from talking.

I look at Nero when they join me and rest an arm over their shoulders. ”Do you want a coffee?” I gesture towards the coffee truck just up the street from the police station. Avery excuses himself and follows Cassi into the station.

I laugh, feeling my cheeks warm from the joint hug. ” Okay, yes, follow me.” I lead them into the police station. We make our way around the bullpen to a row of rooms and a kind of storage room at the back. I stopped outside the closed door and hesitated before stepping aside.

”Everything’s in there for you to finish setting up,” I say. I want them to go in before me so they can see it all.

I had lit a few of the candles, unsure if they were required to be lit for prayer, so I left most of them unlit, but a box of matches sat on the table. That table was set up with flowers that lined the table almost like garland, similar to how an Ofrenda was set up on the day of the dead. There were blank spots in the middle of the table for Mrs. Wu’s photo and urn.

There was another table on the left side, furthest from the door, covered in food and drink. Beside that table, near the back left corner, was the red chair, and then the two couches were in the centre of the room. I felt bad they were red and not white, but the candles were white, and there were white chrysanthemums and yellow mums, the right flowers for a funeral. I wanted flowers here, too, to help keep the room from feeling so stiff.

I smile, bowing to Mr. Wu until he hugs me. I hug him gently back, grinning at Nero’s discomfort when he gets hugged. Avery hovers nearby while Nix takes a walk of the perimeter. I look over to see Mr. Wu giving Cassiopeia the biggest hug of all. I nudge Nero and gesture for them to follow me.

As we pass, I squeeze Nic’s shoulder. ”Should anything come up tonight, have Avery call us. We’ll see you tomorrow,” I say before I join Avery and run through the details of the night and what he and Nix are expected to do.

”Are you two going to be okay, or do you want me to call Lillian in as well?”

“I’ll check with Nix, but we should be fine, boss,” Avery assures me. I nod and glance up at the police station before scanning, looking further than I could see for anything amiss. Sometimes, the air shifted or seemed off when there was something near.

I fiddle with my hair while Nic and his father approach, filled with nervous energy. I’m so focused on that that I don’t fully comprehend Mr. Wu’s hug until he’s squeezing me tightly. I make a little noise of surprise before I put my arms around Nic’s dad and hug him back. I hope I did everything right for him for tonight and tomorrow.


Caden




Location: Nero’s House – Chicago, IL
Skills:





I push off of Nero’s desk and turn to follow him out of the office. Everything is loaded into the truck. Its driver is ready to go, so Nero and I get into my car to lead the way back to the station. Once we get there, Nero and I offload everything so the moving truck can leave. Cassiopeia joins us and eyes the furniture. She glances at Nero.

”Next time, I need pictures of your furniture.”

”Cassi, it’s fine. Come one, show us where you want everything to go.” I take off my suit jacket and toss it onto one of the couches. I nod to Nero to grab the other end. The two of us lifted it easily and walked into the police station with each item individually.

Once everything is inside, Cassi shifts things around. She moves the chair into one of the corners. The couch/bed that sits on the floor nearer the table where everything would be set up with the couch behind it. Just as we’re getting that into place, the florist arrives, then the caterers. Nero and I leave the room to give everyone the space we need. I glance down at my watch and tell Cassi that Avery and Nix should be picking up Nic and Mr. Wu now.

She seems to jump into overdrive, helping the florist arrange the flowers and candles so everything is safe and won’t burn anything down. The caterers meanwhile set up a second table with snacks. After it’s all done, it looks rather good and not like a room in the middle of the police station. With one last look, Cassi grabs her bag, and we leave to wait for the Wu family to arrive.
