WHO: Joey van der Berg and Monique Reppyi
WHAT: Relationship talks
WHEN: Tuesday evening
WHERE: Nikkie and Veronia's
WARNINGS: Talk of sex and possible mentions of assault and rape

Joey had been feeling fantastic lately, and he knew that a lot of that was down to Nikkie being so wonderful. Therapy and proper medication also helped, but spending so much time with her was making him feel so much better. He thought it was probably time to talk about taking things further. He had fears and issues, which was why he knew he needed to talk it out first.

He had offered to cook for her which was why he arrived on her doorstep with all the ingredients to make the perfect lasagne and some home made garlic bread. When she answered, he grinned at her and planted a kiss on her cheek. "Hi, you," he said sweetly. "I hope you're hungry, I brought enough food for an army."

Nikkie rested her head on his shoulder, curling one arm around his waist. "And you couldn't look at it?" she asked. "Or was it just really horrifying to look at?"

"I hate that you had that inflicted on you," Nikkie said, low and angry. "I hate that these...things think that humans are just toys to play with for their amusement, and just throw them away when they're bored or they break." She squeezed his hand. "But I'm really glad they found you."

"I don't think his face is something humans are meant to see. It just...burned and I felt...insane, I guess. But he never made me look for long."

He planted a kiss on her head and leaned his against it. "I'm glad they found me too. I hate those creatures and what they do, and I wasn't okay for a long time." It had been over a year now though, and he felt stronger every day. "But I'm okay now. I still have nightmares sometimes, but I know it's in the past. It's why I've been taking my time with everything though. It's a lot to work through."

	"I had heard you couldn't look at gods or angels and live," Nikkie replied. "Which makes sense, I guess." She ran one hand over his shoulder. "I don't doubt that it is," she murmured. "And if you ever need anything, I might not be able to do much, but I'll do my best to help, however I can." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"There were some other people there," he said, which was something he had never told a single other soul. "And Lucifer said they were people he had tried to show his true face to for too long. They were...broken. Shattered people. So all this time while I was healing I felt like I had a responsibility to them to get better because they...couldn't."

He took a deep breath and planted a kiss on her head before returning to cook the lasagne. He started combining all the layers into a deep dish he could shove in the oven. "You do a lot just by being there. Reminding me I have a life still to live. That it didn't end there."
