WEDNESDAY

"Fancy bracelet. Think you can get me one?"

Nico instinctively covered the green bracelet before looked up to find a smiling Niel beside him.

Is he in our class?

I don't think so.

I thought he was older than us.

"What are you doing here?"

Niel just shrugged with a sly smile.

"Just chilling."

Nico couldn't help the small smile at hearing that. He saw a green blur coming in his direction.

Oh, great, she's here.

How I wish I could shadow travel in this world...

Lucy grinned to Nico and was going to seat behind him when she saw Niel. She frowned at him.

"What are you doing here? This isn't even your class."

Well, that answers our question.

Niel's smile turned to a full on grin when looking to Lucy.

"The teacher said it was ok."

"What!?"

Is it bad that we're laughing of her face?

No, it isn't.

The teacher looked up before frowning.

"Lucy, please take a seat."

Lucy snorted when Niel winked at her, and sat behind Nico.

Things just got interesting.

***

After classes, Niel dragged him with the excuse to help him finish the stage for the play. So far, he only watched, not knowing what to do. Nico shouted over the noise Niel was making with the hammer.

"And you brought me here why, exactly?"

Niel answered without looking at him.

"For company."

"MY company?"

"Of course. A charming personality, eloquent speeches, enchanting smile... what is not to like?"

Nico glared while Niel grinned. Finally, Nico gave up and just rolled his eyes, which made Niel laugh, before he handed a bag of nails to Nico.

"Here, hold this. And walk by my side."

Nico kept glancing to the Jolly Roger on the other side of the stage.

Do you think we can go there?

I don't know, maybe.

Should we ask?

Ever heard that is better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission?

Nico jumped when Niel snapped his fingers in front of his eyes.

"What are you looking at? My darling?"

"Your..."

"The Jolly Roger."

"You call the ship 'my darling'? Really?"

Nico was able to see when in Niel got in 'proud Captain' mode.

"Ye have a problem wi'that ma'e?"
