{ Oh.
the way she feels about me has changed. }

Nick casually rocked back on his heels, a small chuckle threatening to bubble out of his pursed lips. "You definitely don't want one," he said. "It's not worth it." He paused, thinking back on the multitude of times he had woken up with a hangover. "Well, sometimes...no," he laughed, shaking his blonde hair. "It's definitely not worth it." Yeah, he had to fix up that little drinking problem he had, but was it so bad to like alcoholic beverages to an extent where you wake up feeling like your head is being hammered? Yeah, when you say it like that.

"Sixteen, huh?" He said, a tiny smirk playing at his lips. "I'm nineteen," he grinned down at her. "You don't think I'm old now do you?" He said, faking a pout as he extended his bottom lip. Although it was only a three year difference, he wasn't sure if she'd joke about something like that like most kids do. Of course, Essie wasn't like most kids. She was mature, intelligent, and calm, and Nick admired this about her.

[[ I know, it doesn't meet the word count. I'll do better next time. D8 ]]

[ Is anyone open for character interaction? Julian is pretty much wondering around alone now. ]

Why don't you be the  a r t i s t  and make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the  w r i t e r  and decide the words I say?

"I'll take your word for it." The corner of Essie's lip lifted upwards into a small grin as she spoke. Part of her seemed tempted to go develop a hangover, purely for curiosity's sake, while the winning half seemed quite content with having a pain-free day.
"Yep, sixteen as of a month ago." She beamed, maintaining her grin. It wasn't much a birthday, to be completely honest. She spoiled herself with a cupcake and listened to music by herself, and that was basically it. She was pretty sure every other teenage girl spent the night and/or day with friends, probably tapping into their parent's stash of alcohol, or maybe they just spent it at the theatres, but it had been long sense established that Essie was obviously not an average teenager. With or without the wings. 
This time her grin formed a full-toothed smile, her brown eyes glittering with amusement at his pout face. "Pft, are you kidding me? You're ancient!" She joked, stressing out the word "ancient" with an exaggerated tone, making it sound like being nineteen was the worst thing ever.
After a few seconds of a small giggle as she couldn't contain most of her laughter, she realised she hadn't laughed this much in a while. Again, like her lack of friends, it was mostly her fault. Sure, she found just about anything entertaining, but honest laughter was hard to come by. So, she found herself grateful for Nicholas's delightful sense of humor. It felt gold to laugh again. 

Because I'd rather  p r e t e n d
I'll still be there at the  e n d

Nick looked taken aback for a few moments, but he shrugged off his simple mistake. Essie was still a kid; it was normal for her to want to joke around. Her privileges shouldn't be limited due to the fact that she was a mutant. A smile broke out on his lips as she giggled softly, and he realized that her laughter was pure and not forced. The sound was pleasing to his ears, and he decided that his goal would be to make Essie laugh more often.
"Seems like I did a top notch job of cheering you up." He boasted, a smirk playing at his lips. "But that comment about me being ancient still hurt." He joked, faking a look of disbelief. "So, I guess I'll have to call you Munchkin from now on." He chuckled, ruffling her hair. "You're so tiny and cute." He smiled softly, wondering if she would bite his hand off. He wouldn't put it past her.
