living room

His smirk gets bigger and he waves a hand.
"We havent been going out for that long anyway"
He turns to nibiki, staying silent.

She blinks a little shocked "uh...okay I guess you can" she thinks then yells after her "I don't know what we have so you can look through anything" she sighs then sits next to kiro and leans on him "so many people"

He wraps an arm around and leans back,
"Your very dependable..."
He looks at the ground.
"I didnt know you knew so many people"
A small smile appears on his face.

She smiles and looks at him then tilts her head and giggles while talking "what?"

He leans forward, his smile widening.
"Do many people come for your advice?"

Nibiki limped into the living room carrying the tray of brownies her palm of her hand had stopped bleeding but there was a scar of dried blood crusted over it. She set the tray on the table and handed the two a piece "here you go" still no expression came upon her face.

She takes her piece from her but grabs her hand gently and starts at the cut on her hand "nibiki...."

He turns to the plate of brownies and his stomach grumbles.

Nibiki yanked her hand away and took a piece of brownie for herself.

Alex looks to nibiki concerned "nibiki that's freshly dried blood....why did you cut yourself?"

Nibiki shook her head and took a bite of her brownie.

Reaches in for a brownie and takes a bite.
He lets the girls talk as he stared at the floor.

Alex frowns and puts her brownie in her mouth still looking at nibiki in concern

"i.....i dont know i dont know why i cut myself" she looked down nibbling on her brownie "i..its better then death but i dont know...."

Alex shakes her head "don't cut yourself.....it's not right it just hurts you more.....if your troubled talk to a friend to hurt yourself just because you thing it will help heal the pain it'll just bring more"

"Keep cutting yourself and you may end up seeing death more often than your seeing pain"
He finishes the brownie and looks to nibiki.

She looks at the two of them and then back to the ground tears run down her face.

Alex sighs stands up and hugs her "I'm sorry to say but it's true what we say"

"i know i know these tears arenot of sarrow just that i have people like you who care my family never cared for me and to have you be concernced and care its just making me happy" She hugged alex back.

Alex smiles "I care for all my friends....and I worry when they get hurt or hurt themselves.....I can help it....it's in my nature"

She hugs alex tightly as tears run down her cheeks "thank you so much!"

She nods "if you would like you can stay here for the night and I can take you back to where you are staying in the morning....I don't want you on that wheel chair in the dark...."

She looked down "at the moment i dont have a home" she says looking at her palms and the scar on her right one.

Alex smiles "then you are welcome to stay here as long as you need to.....oh yeah if your brother needs a place to crash too we can make a room up for him to stay here too"

He raises an eyebrow but quickly gains his composure again, continuing to look at the ground.
