Work Text:
Nile: "No, I don't want to hear about how my teacher ended up naked in your bed."
Joe had followed Nile and was trying to get dressed while walking.
Nile: "Joe, when I send you to see my teacher it was to get help with your painting, not with your non existent sex life."
Joe: "Will it help on the situation if I tell you we first had sex after I gotten the help I needed?"
Nile: "And now you are telling me how my teacher ended up naked in your bed. Andy is right, you are "a romantic idiot"."
Joe finally got one leg in the sweatpants.
Joe: "Thanks."
Nile rolled her eyes.
Joe: "Somehow, I don't think "a romantic idot" was meant as a compliment."
Nile: "Oh, where did you get that idea from?"
Joe, who hadn't been paying attention to where he was placing his legs, got the second leg into the same trouser leg as the first leg. Second later, Joe fell and landed on the cat, who weren't too happy about the arrrupt awaking.
Joe: "Sorry, Kahlo. I promise to make it up to you with some salmon."
Joe rubbed his sore head, just as Nile sat down next to him.
Nile: "It is a good thing you are thick headed."
Joe: "I know that was a compliment."
Joe got a leg in each trouser leg.
Joe: "Nile, listen. I didn't mean to hide that I was dating your teacher, but he is SO wonderful and SO many other things I can't yet put words on. The last four days with him have been..."
Joe smiled.
Nile: "Please promise me you invited him out on dinner first before he ended up in your bed."
Joe: "Of course, I did. Five dates in three days - two of them were dinner and the rest coffee dates or tea in our case. And I promise you I didn't kiss your teacher before after the third date. I am as you put it "a romantic idiot"."
Nile: "I am glad you stuck to your rules about not kissing anyone before after the third date."
Joe rubbed his neck sheepelish.
Joe: "It was a hard thing not to kiss him. And I just realized something."
Nile: "What?"
Joe: "I need you to forgive me, Nile."
Nile: "For what?"
Joe: "You got your finale exsam soon and now that I have both kissed and slept with your teacher you can both end up in problems. I am so sorry, Nile."
Nile placed a hand on Joe's arm.
Nile: "Joe, what is my major in?"
Joe: "Law."
Nile: "And what does Nicky teach in?"
Joe: "The crusades."
Nile: "They are two different things, Joe, so we won't end up in problems. I promise."
Nile's phone rang and she took it.
Nile: "I can hearby tell you, Andy, that our plan was a success. I have seen both their naked asses, which means you owe me something strong to drink. Yes, I will be over in ten minutes. See you."
Nile could tell Joe's brain was processing what he had just heard, so she stood up.
Nile: "See you tomorrow. Have fun with my teacher."
Nile walked over to the door.
Joe: "Hi, wait. Did Andy and you plan all of this?"
Nile: "No comments. See you."
Nile left with a grin on her face before Joe could stop her. After feeding Kahlo the promised salmon, Joe returned to the bedroom with snacks and some freshed pressed orange juice. While Joe was gone, Nicky had found one of Joe's art book.
Nicky: "I have to say that Gustav Klimt was an excellent painter."
Joe: "He was indeed that. I love how he uses gold in his paintings."
Nicky: "I can understand that."
Joe placed the tray on the bed before sitting up against the headboard. When Joe spread his legs, Nicky saw it as an invitation to sit there and he leaned his back against Joe's chest, before Joe fed him some of the snacks.
Nicky: "This juice taste amazing. Promise to make more to me tomorrow."
Joe: "I promise. I just need to get more oranges first."
Nicky played a bit with Joe's long fingers.
Nicky: "What are you thinking about, Joe?"
Joe: "What it is you have been teaching Nile."
Nicky: "What I teach everyone who wants to learn how to defend themselves. I am not a fan of people who can't understand a no, so I am trying to teach people how to deal with them in a way so they end up in jail or worse."
Joe kissed Nicky.
Joe: "I think that is a fantastic thing you are doing. Can I have a private lesson?"
Nicky: "Yes, but I refuse to turn it into a sex thing. I prefer to keep things seperate when I can."
Joe: "I understand and respect that."
Nicky drank some more juice.
Nicky: "Did Nile have a problem with us dating?"
Joe: "Far from it. She is more than happy for us."
It wasn't a lie, now that Joe thought about it.
Nicky: "I am glad to hear it because I love dating you."
Joe: "So am I."
They kissed, drank some more juice and ate some more snacks.
Nicky: "Do you want me to stay the night?"
Joe: "I would love that very much."
They exchanged a smile before they kissed again and again, feeling so in love.
