Mesy stared at Nick shocked... did he just say he loved her? "Okay... uh... I don't think... I could right now either... hey... do you have somewhere I could crash? Just for right now..." she asked as she started to look really tired and unknowingly lost her grip on her form and shifted into her child form looking like she would start crying... she was just like a child in this form after all...

(Hey I say we screw with him and have his ex come over to get some of her stuff and be able to see Mesy XD )

((i love that... I feel really cruel, doing this to him... but I just love it))

Nick watched Mesy transform and look like she was about to cry. His heart went out to her and he walked up to her, picking her up and holding her in her arms. "Shhhh" he cooed as he walked over to the couch, sitting down and rocking her gently. "It'll be alright, you'll see. I'm sorry I did that to you, I truly am. I never wanted to hurt you" he whispered, rocking her and rubbing her back gently.

((Let's have them cuddle for awhile until Mesy calms down then the ex shows up. that way she thinks he's already moved on, what do you think?))

(Well actually I was gonna have Mesy fall asleep... and she won't even truly stay next to him in her older form more or less let him cuddle her XD )
Mesy calmed some and yawned curling into Nick and her thomb seemed to find it's way into her mouth as she started to fall asleep. Her soft little bunny ears never left as she slept and only seemed to make her look cuter as one of them drooped over her eye and the other looked like it was going to.
(Plus this would make him look even more like a pedo XD )

((hmm...I like that idea... but i just realized that his ex wouldn't be able to see her... hmm... well, we'll figure that out))

Nick smiled and continued to rock her. He rested his head back and closed his eyes. Now that things have calmed down, the painful memories of the breakup came back. They were painfully real.

Elizabeth knew how sensitive Nick was about the whole "crazy" thing. She knew, in fact she always said he wasn't crazy. That was one of the things he loved the most about her. But then That Day happened. He came home from work and he saw Elizabeth rolling around on the couch with another man. They pulled apart and Elizabeth attempted to explain the actions, but he didn't want explanations. He turned away when she claimed that she loved him and was just lost in a fit of passion. The action stunned Elizabeth into silence. He never turned away from her when she was speaking, and certainly never so coldly. The silence was deafening, and the tension in the air felt suffocating for the both of them. "You can't have us both. Make your choice" Nick whispered. He didn't want to face her, afraid that he knew what her answer would be. A few moments later, his suspicions were confirmed "I choose him" was her answer. But she didn't stop there. "He doesn't belong in a mental institution."

Nick's eyes jolted open. He checked the time, it was now late afternoon. He looked down and saw Mesy, still sleeping so cutely. This is awkward... I have this fatherly love towards the child, but a romantic love towards the older version... Does that make me a pedo? he asked himself, truly curious. He was pulled out of his thoughts when a knock sounded loudly at the door. He wiggled out beneath Mesy and gently laid her down on the couch. He hurried to the door as the pounding continued. He swung the door open and his breath caught. No matter how much he was attracted to Mesy...he didn't love her quite yet... but he was definitely still in love with the woman in front of him "Elizabeth... what are you doing here?" he asked "I... I came to get my stuff" she answered. Nick swallowed and let her in "alright, just try and keep your voice down, ok?" he asked as he looked back at the couch. "Why? do you have someone over?" she asked "you could say that" came the answer "a new girlfriend?" Elizabeth asked, jealously seeping through her voice "I don't think it would matter to you if she was or not. But she's not my girlfriend, the girl's only 10" he explained, not wanting to explain that Mesy actually had two forms.

((wow... that's a lot... oh well, hopefully I gave you soemething to work with))

(Yeah if she was a demon she could see Mesy... though she couldn't toutch her... only Nick could X3 )

Mesy whimpered some as she was laid down though only curled up a bit more trying to find more heat since Nick wasn't holding her and he had been very warm to her. She was a very cute little girl especially when she was asleep since when she was asleep as a kid she sucked her thumb allot.

((true... but if she was a demon then she wouldn't think that Nick was insane. She'd know he wasn't. No, elizabeth has to be completely human, otherwise there's no logical reason why she would leave Nick))

Elizabeth rolled her eyes and moved to sit down. Nick's eyes widened and he rushed forward, literally pulling Elizabeth away from the couch and pushing her to the ground. Unfortunately, in his rush, he went off balance. Just before his body collided with Mesy's tiny form, he braced his arms on the back of the couch, effectively stopping him from squishing the poor girl. "Nick, what the heck!?" Elizabeth asked, her voice raising. "You almost sat on her" Nick answered, keeping his voice low. "Are you crazy!? There's no one there!" Elizabeth argued. Nick's eyes darkened. "I'm not crazy. I'm an elf. I'm not human. Therefore I have the privilege of seeing things humans can't. You never thought I was crazy before, why do you think I am now?" he asked, fighting to keep his voice low as he straightened up. "James made me realize the truth that I've been blind to all these years. Because of him, I'm happy" she shot back "so where does that leave me? In a bar drinking away the fact that the woman that I was going to ask to marry me just cheated on me and then left me!?" Nick shot back, his voice beginning to rise. The alcohol still had control over his mind so he didn't even realize that He'd just admitted to wanting to marry her. "Well it's a good thing you didn't ask me then because I would've denied you. Or, if you'd asked before I met James, I would've said yes and then the hurt would be so much worse when I divorced you because I would find out the truth later" Elizabeth argued. "Do you not realize how much it hurts right now!?! You just don't get it do you!? I devoted my life to you!" He argued "you made you choice and so did I!" came the response "get your stuff and get out! If I ever find you on my property again, I swear I will put up a restraining order!" he ordered. Neither of them really realized just how loud they were.

(He he he I say she somewhat sees Mesy now since humans could see ghosts though not that much... not often...)

Mesy started to whine and sat up rubbing her eyes then started crying some. finally she ended up getting up and tugging on Nicks sleave seem very sleepy and now cranky. Her ears were simy drooping over her eyes and she was whining some. "Nick.... why... so... loud?... sleepy..." she whimpered a parsial sentance not seeming fully awake though very tired.

((that works. Just when she makes sound or when she makes physical contact with her, though))

Elizabeth's eyes bugged out as the girl appeared. Nick noticed the change, shot her an 'I-told-you-so' look, and turned his full attention to Mesy. He picked her up and began to soothe her back to sleep as he'd done previously "I'm sorry, I didn't realize how loud I was. Can I make it up to you?" he asked. he only removed his attention briefly to command Elizabeth to leave, once again. That brought her out of her stupor and she went into what used to be their bedroom. She quickly packed her things up and then left, closing the door behind her. Nick relaxed, glad that she was gone. However, the tears came back. She probably saw the ring, it was on his dresser, after all. He held Mesy close and cried into her, quietly. Having Elizabeth come back created new wounds in his heart, as well as opening up the others. He felt as though his heart was being ripped in two. He held onto Mesy tighter as he realized that he wanted a drink. "When you have a problem... how do you deal with it?" he asked her, knowing she'd have a better alternative.

Mesy calmed down and looked even more tierd so it was a bit hard for her to stay awake now. "I donno... let it out?... I donno..." she said sleepily and curled to Nick a bit looking like she was ready for another nap... well more like a good sleep.

Nick sighed and petted her hair, unable to resit kissing it lightly, but more in a brotherly/fatherly way instead of the way it would be done to a lover. He rested his head on the back of the chair and let the tears fall. The pain in his heart was so... real. All of the wounds in his heart were being opened up again. "Thank you for being here" he whispered to Mesy, fully aware that she was probably asleep again. It felt good to hold her, even if it was completely innocent.

Mesy yawned softly and curled up more almost as though she were trying to cuddle with Nick... that could very well be the case since she was after all a bunny demon. "Wel... com..." she murmured softly as she started drifting off and her ears drooped over her eyes again with one of them slightly lifted as she rested her head on Nick's cest lightly seeming comfurtable in his arms.

Nick smiled a small smile and soon found himself asleep, the pain too much to handle. He didn't want to leave Mesy's side for fear that he'll go to the alcohol, so he simply drifted off to sleep. Somehow, during all of this, they ended up laying down, him holding her almost like she as a teddy bear.

Mesy slept soundly and didn't stir much when Nick had laid down with her and held her close. Instead of moving away or waking up and freaking out Mesy scooted a little closer and curled into Nick comfurtably as she slept. At some point while she was asleep she started clinging to him and whining in her sleep seeming very upsetted by something and looking for comfurt to calm her down.

Nick slowly awoke the next morning to the feeling of someone in his arms. He smiled warmly. She's here... she never left me... all of that was a horrible dream. She loves me still, he thought as he pulled his lover closer. He dropped his head down and kissed her lips sweetly, trailing his lips to her ears. It was the way that he always woke up his beloved. When he got to her ear, however, he knew something was wrong. Elizabeth didn't have bunny ears... oh no! He just kissed Mesy... again! He groaned softly and dropped his forehead on Mesy's shoulder, sighing heavily. He just hoped that Mesy wouldn't wake up like Elizabeth always did.

Mesy twitched some though didn't awake as she was pulled closer and kissed. SHe whimpered some and didn't see to be having a good dream as she stayed asleep. Her dreams were full of screaming and begging from the... night before? though she still only whined and cried very quietly.

Nick studied Mesy's face and brushed her hair with his fingers. "I'm truly sorry about that, that was truly an accident" he whispered to her as he continued to pet her hair. He felt this father-like love for the child. "Mesy, hun, it's alright. I--" Nick started, attempting to soothe her. He cut himself off, however, when he realized there wasn't anything he could really say. He couldn't tell her that he was there and that he'd protect her from harm, her harm always came from him. "It's just a dream, Mesy" he finally whispered.

Mesy finally woke up crying a little after Nick tried to soothe her crying.... and it work for a few though didn't last. She didn't know what the dream was about though all she knew was that it was a nightmare and whatever it was she was really scared of it... and it hurt her really bad... though she didn't conect that to him.

Nick sat up and pulled Mesy onto his lap, holding her close "it's alright, it's ok. We'll work this out, everything will be just fine" he soothed "Hey, I bet you want some breakfast, right? how does pancakes sound?" he asked, trying to distract the easily distracted child.

Mesy cried for a little longer then slowly calmed down as she was destracted "Wouldn't it be lunch though?" she asked curiously thinking that they had had brecfast before that girl came over and woke her up and made Nick upset... she didn't like the girl for that...

At the mention of "that girl," Nick drew a sharp intake of breath. He paused for a few moments, waiting for the pain in his heart to subside. "Yeah... you're right... she just screwed me up royally, my sense of time has disappeared... well... um... lunch then... grilled cheese sound alright?" he asked, his voice tight and shaking from emotion. It hurt... oh! how it hurt. He wanted her back... she was the only one that ever loved him. She loved him in spite of his interesting "condition." She'd loved him. Now he may as well give up. But he can't... he has to take care of Mesy.

(she didn't say anything about the girl I did it was unspoken)

((wow... I'm really out of it, i tottally missed that... here, I'll fix my post ^-^'' sorry about that))

Nick looked at the time and noticed that Mesy was right. He sighed Elizabeth really screwed me up one way and down the other, huh? he mused. "You're right... lunch... how does grilled cheese sound?" he asked, his voice tight and shaking from emotion. It hurt... oh! how it hurt. He wanted her back... she was the only one that ever loved him. She loved him in spite of his interesting "condition." She'd loved him. Now he may as well give up. But he can't... he has to take care of Mesy.

Mesy thought for a long moment then nodded vigeruosly. "YEAH!" she smiled easily seeming to be better now that she had been destracted. Her ears were now more of in an upright position though soon were laying floppy and drooping though not in the way that she was upset... no this just made her look cuter.
(It's all good... so... does he still have the lust for the younger form or not?)

((yeah, but he's so attatched to Elizabeth that he's focused on that. Once he gets distracted enough, it'll come back. What it actually is, is he has those feelings for her older self, and a fatherly-bond for the younger, but his brain can't really process that, so that romantic feelings come out for both.))

Nick smiled and stood up, walking to the kitchen to begin cooking. He paused when he saw a picture of him and Elizabeth together. She must've left it behind instead of taking it with her... he thought, recognizing it as the picture that stood next to the ring. He shook his head and forced himself to make lunch "I'm sorry about making so much noise earlier... I told her to keep her voice down... but she didn't listen... I suppose she never really listened to me... she just... said things that she thought would make me happy" he apologized. Somehow... I wish it was the older form... if only so I could say these things and have her understand what I was talking about, he mused.

(He he he okay and actually I was going to have her older form show up now XD )

Mesy sighed as her form changed and she squeezed the bridge of her nose feeling as though she would be sick. She was just sitting on the couch slumped forward slightly though turned her head slightly to listen to Nick. "She won't believe a word you say will she? She seems like a pmsing jerk if you ask me..." she murmured softly seeming rather eirtated at how that girl just came in and acted like that... what did he do to desirve that? It seemed the only real thing he had been consirned aboout other then herself was the fact that he had loved her and tried to show her that no matter what she thought he wasn't crazy.-
