Work Text:
While waiting for the rest, Nile asked if Nicky wanted to check out a Banksy artwork in the town over, something he said yes to. When they found the artwork, it was surrounded by a big crowd and news reporters from all over the world.
Nicky: "Nile, come."
Nile followed Nicky, looking a bit disappointed that she didn't get to see the artwork, but at the same time, she understood that they didn't want to get their face all over the news.
Nicky: "Don't look so sad, Nile. I promise you will get to see the artwork. We just need to wait until it isn't so crowded. So, why don't we use the time to eat something?"
Nile: "Great idea."
They returned after dark again, and this time they could see the Banksy artwork.
Nile: "I have to say, this is one of the best Banksys. Which Banksy is your favourite, Nicky?"
Nicky: "I do love the girl and the balloon. And you?"
Nile: "The man throwing the bouquet."
Nile took some more photos of the Banksy artwork.
Nicky: "Also a great choice."
Nile handed Nicky her mobile.
Nile: "Could I ask you to take a few photos of me next to the Banksy?"
Nicky: "Of course."
Nicky took the photos and handed the mobile back to her.
Nile: "Thanks."
Nicky smiled when he saw something getting nearer them.
Nicky: "I don't fancy talking with the police. Come."
When Nicky threw his arm around Nile's shoulders, she knew he was trying to give the police the impression that they were a couple. So, when they walked past the police car, Nile giggled and Nicky smiled. When they had put some distance between them and the police, Nicky removed his arm.
Nicky: "I hope it was okay, what I did before."
Nile: "Of course. I understand why."
Nile started looking at all the photos she had taken.
Nile: "You know what, Nicky?"
Nicky shook his head.
Nile: "If I didn't know better, I would say that the Banksy looks like something Joe would have done."
Nicky: "Who says Joe didn't create the Banksy artwork?"
Nile stopped walking before she stared at Nicky, who looked over his shoulder.
Nile: "Wait, what? What do you base your latest statement on?"
Nicky: "That we have never seen Joe and Banksy in the same room at the same time."
Nile thought for a moment about what Nicky had just said.
Nile: "Are you saying that Joe is Banksy?"
Nicky gave Nile a smile she didn't know what to read into.
Nile: "Are you messing with me, Nicky?"
Nicky chuckled as he walked on.
Nile: "Tell me. You can't leave it there."
Nicky didn't answer Nile because he loved to tease her. And Nile knew it.
