WHO: Heine, Nill.
WHERE: Danny's house.
WHEN: In the very wee hours of the night after this post.
SUMMARY: No one revokes Heine's visitation rights gdi.
FORMAT: Quicklogs are the best logs amirite.

[ He didn't go back to the church. He didn't do anything except run until he was out of break and fuck, his hands were shaking and he hadn't meant to do that. The Dog was a smug, sated presence in the back of his head, and it wasn't that Heine regretted it, but he regretted doing it like that, so sloppy and public and fuck, fuck, fuck.

He scratched two fingers on the window, so softly he wasn't sure Nill would hear. The last thing he wanted was to see Danny and Luke. He was furious when he thought of what Danny had said, telling him that he wouldn't let Heine see Nill. It was better for everyone if he didn't see either of them.

He was still covered in Angelica's blood. It was making his skin crawl, and he tipped his head back towards the sky, wishing for rain, watching his breath puff white in the air. ]

[She was glad when he relaxed, even if it was just a little and only physically. The blood didn't bother her; it would wash away. But she felt like he would never be able to wash it away, even though she knew it was something that secretly, he'd wanted to do.

Nill gripped his hand, her wings fluttering with worry. She didn't want him to feel this way. She missed the days they had spent in the church just sitting together, when he hadn't been going to all sorts of places that hurt him. She wished Badou was here; at least he could keep Heine safe, or at least safer than she could.]

[ He took a deep breath. He needed to think. To figure out what the next step is because damned if he was getting caught. He needed to do this right, or at least, try to make the best out of this sloppy, horrible situation.

But his thoughts dragged back to the stupid comm post and... ]

Danny isn't going to let me see you anymore.

[She had seen that on the post, and was not happy at all. Nobody could take her away from Heine, not even Danny and Luke. She would always be there for him, she'd even go back to living in the church if it meant she would be able to see him. Danny and Luke had done so much for her since she had been in the City, but Heine had rescued her. She owed him her life. There was no way she was going to sit back and let them be separated.

Nill tried to think of a way to tell him all this, but it was hard without paper. So she just slid a bit closer to him, turning her head just a bit so she could look into his face. She hoped he could read something there in hers.]

[ He looked at her face, then tipped his head forward, touching his forehead to hers and closing his eyes. Nill had always been what calmed him, better than a stress ball or a worry stone. If Danny tried to keep her away, then there was a very, very good chance that he and Heine would have to fight. ]

[She reached up to press her hands to his cheek, and tilted her head back to give him a small kiss on the forehead. She had never felt as safe with anyone as she did with him. Even with everything Danny and Luke had given her, Heine had given her a life. He would always protect her, and she knew that nobody could stop him from being with her.]

Heh.

[ A small smile twitched at his lips, and he tightened his grip on her hand. There was no way he could stay away from her, no way for Danny to expect him not to always come back for her. It was just how things worked. Heine came back for Nill; it was nonnegotiable. ]

I should go.

[Nill wasn't ready for him to go yet, but she knew he was right. She didn't want Luke or Danny to find him, and get angry. Her brow furrowed; she wanted to see him again. On his hand, she traced the word CHURCH, and tilted her head. He would be there, right?]

Yeah. Yeah, for a little while.

[ He squeezed her hand tightly before letting go, standing up, leaving his jacket on her. He hated this, but... ]

I'll see you soon.

[She stood with him, pulling the jacket tighter around her thin shoulders. Tears pricked at her eyes, and she couldn't stop them from starting to fall now. Nill stepped close to him and wrapped her arms around his waist for a brief, tight hug; she would find a way to see him, no matter what.]

Nill...

[ He never...exactly knew how to respond to physical contact, but it was different with Nill. He rubbed her back, fingers tangling in her hair, keeping her close for a few minutes before gently disentangling herself from her. ]

It'll be okay.

[She didn't want him to let go, but she knew he had to. It was getting closer to morning every second; Danny or Luke might wake up and catch them. Wiping her arm across her face, she nodded to him, trying not to cry anymore. Her birthday was coming up, and sixteen was supposed to be when girls grew up. She was pretty sure she had heard that somewhere, anyway. Nill took half a step back, blue eyes wide and alert, but sad. Her small mouth was a frown, and her hair was messy from where his hands had been. She knew he'd come back, he always did.]

[ He hesitates for a second, and then he's gone, running as fast as he can back towards the church. He doesn't look back. ]

[She watches him run until he's disappeared into the darkness. Then she stands for another minute, just in case, before climbing back inside the window. She tip-toes to the bathroom to rinse the blood away from her skin, then throws her nightgown and his coat into the laundry so she can wash both in the morning. She'll keep it safe for him. After putting on new pajamas, she crawls into bed and tries not to cry as she thinks about him running away.]
