"Jo- dear Lord are you insane? "

"Quite possibly, yes." Jo laughs.

She rolled her eyes and finished cleaning the wound "there just.. Please be more careful.. Okay? "

"Sure, sure, I'll say that to the next guy before I pop a round in their stupid mouth for telling me to 'be more careful,' when I was just trying to get pizza." Jo huffs, standing up and stretching.

Nikki sank back in the couch and folded her arms before looking at the floor

Jo looks back at Nikki and sighs.

"Oh c'mon, sweetheart, they were in a car speeding through the intersection. What was I supposed to do? Let that shit slide?"

"Whatever jo just forget I said anything.. "

Jo sighs and looks Nikki straight in the eyes.

"Nikki, I swear to god, stop that. It's not fucking healthy."

"Stop what exactly? Stop fucking caring
? because I thought that's what you wanted me to do! "

"No, stop saying things like 'whatever, Jo, just forget I said anything,' because I fucking can't! I literally can't fucking forget, okay? But if you want to stop caring, you can! Go right on ahead, princess, see if I fucking care!" Jo growls, suppressing tears. Something he'd never had to deal with before this week.

"I don't want to stop caring! " she screamed a few tears running down her face as she turned around and started back to her room

"Then don't!" Jo screams back, their voice breaking.

"Don't stop caring then." they whisper, standing up but promptly falling to their knees, tears silently streaming down their face.

Nikki turns to face him again before looking at the floor "I never planned on it.. " she said quietly

Jo looks up at Nikki, wordlessly.

After a while, they say, "You might not want to hear it. . . and know that I mean it. . . but I have to say it one last time."

They take a breath, and wipe off their face. "Nicole. I love you."

Nikki walks over to join and kneels in front of him and cups his face with her hands and she kisses him I was was a passionate yet gentle kiss and pulled away slowly "you are a pain in the ass and you've been nothing but that for years, but…. I love you"

Jo is give pause by the kiss for a moment before leaning into it, sighing when Nikki pulls away.

"So. . . it's a sort of 'I hate you so fucking much' but you really mean 'I really fucking love you' type deal?" they murmur.

Nikki sighs and bumps foreheads with him softly "you- just shut up your ruining the moment. "

Jo smiles slightly.

"Okay, sweetheart." they reply playfully.

She stood and and flopped over on the couch shaking her head

Jo stands up.

"Yeah. . . but in all honesty, too many big emotions for one night. I'd suggest alcohol, but, like. . . Friday was two days ago, and that turned out, well. . . interestingly, to say the least."

"I agree with you on that but I'd rather not go to that liquor store anymore… "

Jo nods.

"I know a place that's probably closer, and less likely to give you any looks or comments. Mainly due to the fact that I've been known to shoot anybody that does say something about you if they see you, but. . . yeah."

"Well… I suppose but is it a bar because I don't like to drink in public. *

Jo shakes his head, then pauses.

"Well, kinda, but it's. . . different. There's rooms where people, particularly couples, can go to get as drunk - or freaky, since there's doors and the rooms are soundproofed - as they'd like."

"Oh… Um okay… "

Jo shrugs.

"Would you like to go there? All I really want to do tonight is get blackout drunk, really, so you'd be perfectly safe."

"Well I mean I kinda do but… You said before that we tried to.. "

Jo snorts.

"Yeah, but. . . that was slightly different. I think, emphasis on 'think,' that won't happen again. If it does, neither of us will even remember, so there's that fun fact as well."

"Oh for fucks sake. "

"Well, that's kinda what the rooms are for, ya know."
