Ayase kind of stumbled behind him from being lead. It felt a little akward... He knew he could make it home alone... It didn't make him feel any better that he was being led by a man who committed a murder... And who had a forearm as big as his chest... That wasn't very reassuring... He pointed t the right. He lived in some little apartments on the top of the city's main hill... Which wasn't saying much for safety....
"I live in the Glen Shadows apartments..."

Getting irritated at the boy's stumbling, Nix swung him up into his arms without breaking his stride. He held the boy easily with one arm, the weight being no trouble.
Without having to walk slow because of the the kid, Nix picked up in pace in a ground eating stride. He reached the apartments in no times, recognizing the place only by the sign out front. He'd never been to this part of town before, only knowing his own flat and the local bars.
"Kinda a shady place." Nix said. "What you're apartment number?"

"Ah!" Shocked he squeaked when he was lifted into the man's arm. He didn't like feeling dwarfed by this man's size... He couldn't be a regular person.... No not with his size. Not with a build like that... He held onto the man like a cat avoiding a bath. Yes, he was scared.
"Uhhmm... This is all I can afford on a student's salary..." He wasn't proud of where he lived... but it was all he could do, living on his own... Living all alone... He didn't like it but, he had to deal with it... He was somehow, a reason for why his family left...

"Jumpy little thing aren't yah?" Nix chuckled. He could relate. He'd been the same way when he was living with his uncle. Small and afraid. Yeah, he knew the feel. Not anymore though. Nix couldn't help but laugh at what he had done to his "dear uncle" when he had grown.
Nix looked at the kid with his one good eye. "What's your name sweets?" He asked as he made his way through the dark apartment complex.

Ayase simply sat and looked at his feet shyly and uneasy... He didn't like sitting there like some little doll that might break... The wind blew slightly and his cuts and scrapes stung badly... He winced... Looking at the bigger man he hesitated before telling him his name...
"I'm... Uhhmm... Ayase... I live in apartment 44...." 4 was the unlucky number of the country.... no wonder he had such bad luck lately.... It wasn't helping being carried by some giant...
"Wh.....Who are you....? Or... What.... Are you...?" He shyly asked.

"Ayase." Nix tried the name out making it sound vaguely erotic. "Cute." He smirked, making his way to the aforementioned apartment. "Nix." He said by way of his name, ignoring the other question asked. What was he to say? Why, I'm an alien from another planet who gets paid for killing off wanted men? That wasn't going to work.
"Just a guy." Nix relented, trying to field the question as he made his way up to Ayase's apartment. He set the boy down gently right at the down.

He flushed when the man was able to roll it off of his tongue so easily... He wasn't used to people acting like that to him... Except maybe... Block it.
He looked at the man as he sat him down on his feet. Nix... Nix was what he called himself. That was an actually nice name... Not really regular, but it's good to be unique... Isn't it? He questioned that everyday of his life. Hiding in the shadows. Living as if he were a ghost, or tried to at least.
He was a ghost to the regular world. But to this other world... He seemed to be quite popular... He still didn;t know if that was a good thing. But he figured he'd just keep his mouth shut.
"Uhhhmm... Thank you for taking me home.... Nix... I thank you...." Damn he was shy!

"You don't have to be so formal, Ayase." Nix said. For some reason, he reached out and touched the blond hair before him, running it through his fingers. It was a surprisingly light touch coming from such a big man. Nix suddenly cleared his throat though, hand dropping away as he caught himself.
"You gonna be okay? I mean your injuries." He clarified, voice gruff again as if to bypass the tender moment. What the hell was the matter with him? Acting this way over a kid. And a shy one at that.
Nix seemed to have come to a decision about Ayase. "Here." He said. The male had actually rifled through Ayase's back for the apartment key and he held it up like a prize. "I'll help you with that too, since it's my fault you got all scrape up. Without waiting for an answer, Nix unlocked the apartment door, essentially barging into the home without waiting for a reply.

Ayase just kind of stood there as he began to look through his bag. Where were those keys? He heard Nix say something and he looked up wondering what it was about. He was worried about him staying alone? No one had ever worried about him staying alone...
Before he could protest anything he had his bag ripped out of his hand. And the big man had his keys in his hand. He reached out to get them but Nix had turned and opened the door and walked in anyway...
Ayase followed behind him and looked around... His house was white... Everything was white... And nothing was out of place... Well what did you have to do when you had nothing to do but school and cleaning your home... He looked at Nix...
"I'm sorry... It's uhmm... Not very colorful...."

Nix thought he had been hit by a snowstorm. He paused, looking at the room in disbelief before taking it in stride. "S'okay. Bright colors hurt my eyes anyhow." He'd seen weirder so it wasn't that big of a deal.
The male wasn't intentionally trying to be nosy about Ayase, but he couldn't seem to help it. He kind of had a thing for the small and helpless...and the kid was just that. He'd seriously have to have a few words to say with the boy's parents. Nobody in their right mind would leave Ayase alone. It just didn't calculate.
"I can't believe you live by yourself." Nix muttered to himself as he began to inspect every nook and cranny the place had to offer. Seeming satisfied, the male turned back to Ayase. "Why don't you take a seat so I can look at your wounds?" The kid was going to sit one way or the other. Nix was just trying to be polite.

ayase stood there and looked at his feet as Nix made his way around the small apartment. He looked up and smiled. He thought his apartment was nice... But others might think it lack of personality. He looked at Nix. He seemed to be a nice person.... He was okay with him being here.
"I live by myself because everyone else sort of... Uhhmm... Left...." He trailed off a little bit. He never was very direct with his words... He looked up when Nix told him to sit so he could look at his wounds. He sort of smiled and went to go into the bathroom.
"I can take care of it... It's not that bad!" He did limp and his leg was stained red from the blood. He was dirty, and filthy as he limped down the hallway. God he looked pathetic and he knew it.

That was just depressing and it made Nix frown. Everyone just left? Well...he could relate to that. "Hold your horses there ducky." He said after realizing that Ayase was limping down the hall. Nix chased after the kid, scooping Ayase up into his arms again. "You are going to get my help." He said haughtily, trooping into the bathroom.
Nix turned the faucet from the water, watching at the tub filled with water as he set Ayase on top of the toilet lid. "Now, are you going to let me help you gracefully, or not?" He raised an eyebrow, the scar on his face stretching a little.

Ayase cried out when he was lifted so suddenly. Did he really just lift him? And Nix just seemed so eager to help him.... But he could do it himself.... Ayase looked up at him after he had set him down on the toilet. He looked pathetic... Muddy, dirty, bloody.... Like he got mauled by a bear... And he simply just fell....
"Uhhmmm.... I can do it myself.... I've had to a few times now......" He did protest a little but... If Nix really wanted to he could...

"So that is a no." Nix rolled his eyes. "Just do me a favor and hold still." He commanded. The clothes would have to go in the garbage. They were ruined because of all the dirt and blood. No point in even trying to save them. Nix snorted at this thought as he stripped Ayase down to the bone, tossing all the boy's garments into a pile on the floor while being mindful of his injuries.
"Do you always break so easy?" The male asked with a chuckle as he moved to switch off the water in the now full tub. "And you shouldn't have to do this kind of thing yourself." He added in a chiding tone as he grabbed a nearby washcloth to dip in the warm water. He used it to gently scrub clean the larger cuts that Ayase had amassed.
