for Nikola

[notsocommon]

Helen had actually not been expecting any visitors and with Will out seeing patients and teaching classes, it was just she and Gregory tucked into the tidy penthouse for the time being. When she heard the bell ring, she imagined it was Will and buzzed him in without a thought, thinking that he must have forgotten something.

She opened the door, smile wide, only for it to fall a bit in confusion when she saw Nikola there. "Ah, Nikola. I wasn't expecting you." She shifted Gregory a bit and opened the door a bit wider to let him in.

"Do come in. Tea? I'm afraid I don't have any wine on hand."

"No, then how do you explain all this unresolved sexual tension between us?" Nikola said with a smirk at Helen. His smirk turned softer as she touched his hand. "I know, shame you won't ever listen to me or do what I want, isn't it? Then I wouldn't have to lose you as well."

"You're not playing fair, Nikola," Helen pointed out but, really, what was fair in situations like this? Very little. She'd made her choice and she was determined to stick by it. She didn't want to leave Will or Gregory alone ever again.

"When have I ever played fair?" Nikola replied with a tired smirk. "Playing fair is boring."
