Who: Marilyn Arnold and Nicky Pike
When: Saturday March 30, around 11 pm.
Where: Nicky and Marilyn's place
What: Post-date nightcap of sorts
For their first date in what seemed like an eternity (especially now), Nicky had taken Marilyn to La Bonne Nuit, the speakeasy under Pop's. There, they'd eaten dinner and discussed everything that they felt; how they wanted to be together and were in the situation of either waiting forever for their SO's to come to them or for them to come home to figure things out. Because neither were possible now, they chose a third option; to move forward together in their lives and figure out the rest as it came. As much as Marilyn loved Andy, he never was Nicky and she was realizing tonight that Freedomtown or not, that Nicky would always be the one for her.
They walked up the stairs to their place, hand-in-hand. It felt comfortable and right, yet still had that tinge of first-date awkwardness. Being roommates complicated that situation. Were they expected to sleep in the same bed now? Were they supposed to be a domestic couple? Marilyn figured she and Nicky would have to learn as they went along.
"I had a great time, Nicky," Marilyn said softly as they got to the front door. The porch light snapped on.
"You know, if we lived in separate houses, this is where we'd have to kiss goodbye. But... we don't have to say goodbye..."
Marilyn wasn't usually the one to make the first romantic move, but after holding hands and cuddling with Nicky all night, she was ready for at least a kiss and kiss him she did, softly on the lips.
