Nick and Mia
Of course Nick didn't want to fight Mia's dad. Nick might train and participate in Fight Night, but he preferred to avoid fights in his daily life. Plus, either way it would hurt Mia, something he wanted to avoid, if at all possible.
He noticed the looks Mia's name garnered, a familiar feeling in certain parts of his world when people heard his last name. Of course, some of the looks he received had more to do with dumb mutts assuming they could easily take him.
Nick smiled a bit in relief. "I appreciate it. I'd rather he decide whether or not he likes me based on me alone at this point. Not that I'll hide who I am." That wouldn't be fair either.
At the 'dad die' comment, Nick wrapped an arm around Mia and pulled her tight for a couple seconds, before he loosened his grip.
