“Assurance”

Tw: Mild Argument.

Ocs: Kasey (Mine) & Nick (Tabs)

A/n: I am not sure what to say for much context besides I borrowed @whump-cafe Oc Bastard Nicolas and wrote a lil bit of Nick & Kasey (Echo) soft.. sorta, It ends that way.

I also heavily fought with myself for 3 hours wondering if I was even going to post this but sure.. why not.

× × ×

Echo tightened her grip on the edge of the pillow pulling it firmly against her face, trying effortlessly to smother the embering frustration deeply seeded within her.

She let out a heavy, muffled sigh while slowly moving her arms across the pillow, holding it down more tightly against her face, bringing her knees up into the air, feeling a faint knot in her stomach.

‘This is Kaitlyn, whom I hoped would be my future daughter-in-law.’

She thought to herself, mocking Amelia’s earlier comments bitterly.

'God! What a pretentious bitch. Tch. If she wants Katy in her fucking family so badly, she should just marry the brat herself. I’m sure they’d be perfect together’.

Echo gritted her teeth lightly while throwing the pillow to the side of the bed In frustration, staring up at the ceiling while narrowing her eyes a bit.

'I’m sure it’s only a phase anyway. I couldn’t see this lasting long term–’

“Ugh— Why is this bothering me so much?”

She interrupted herself after a moment, speaking out loud while sitting up, glaring at the window to her right.

The room was quiet, besides the faint ticking of a clock sitting on the nightstand.

But a faint tension lingered while she kept her focus on the thin rays of sun shining through the thin curtains while moving her arms around her legs, pulling her knees slightly to her chest while resting her chin down.

'Why the hell can’t Amelia just butt the fuck out of our lives? Jesus christ.. She’s not going to push me away. I know it’s her thing or whatever— but she makes it so much more stressful than it needs to be. Give me a break.’

She felt a softer sting of hurt, almost a fainter rejection in a sense, as she closed her eyes after a moment, getting lost in deeper thought.

She was so lost that she failed to hear Nicolas open the door after several or more minutes had passed.

He watched her with a faint curiosity while walking closer towards her, feeling a softer worry while getting closer.

“Kasey…?”

He spoke cautiously at first, not wanting to startle, or scare her, but after a moment or so of no response, he raised his voice lightly, with more firmness behind it.

“Hey, Kasey.”

“Hm?”

She looked over to her left a bit, seeing Nicolas now sitting beside her, watching her with a light worry in his eyes.

“Sorry, guess I zoned out or something.. What’s up?”

“Kasey, you’ve been up here for over an hour now..”

“So? It’s not like it’s that unusual or anything.”

“For you, I would have to disagree with that statement. I would say it’s a bit out of character.”

“Well good for you. I want to be alone. Is that a crime now, Mr. Lawyer?” She spoke with a faint snarkiness in her tone while narrowing her eyes at him lightly before turning her head away back towards the window.

Nicolas raised his brow, faintly stunned by her response, while shaking his head, letting out a faintly annoyed sigh while getting back up.

“I can see you are doing just fine if you can keep the attitude up.”

“Really? Tch, Don’t patronise me Nicolas, I’m not a child.”

“Well with how you have been acting recently, you could have fooled me.” He crossed his arms in front of himself while narrowing his eyes lightly at her, though it wasn’t entirely in a hostile or aggressive way.

“Oh sorry, now I’m acting too childish for you, huh?” She looked back at him suddenly while furrowing her brow a bit, feeling a faint wave of anger.

“I never said that, Kasey. What has been going on with you lately?”

“Nothing, I said I just wanted to be alone alright? Jesus.”

Echo snapped dryly while getting up after a moment, moving towards the dresser while grabbing her hoodie and slipping it on.

Nicolas watched her a bit before shaking his head lightly to himself as he stepped forward, blocking her path towards the door, watching her expression turn to a more angry one as she stopped a bit in front of him.

“Nicolas. I am not in the mood for this bullshit right now, Move.”

“Not until you tell me what’s been bothering you. Then you can go wherever it is you want to run off to.”

Echo growled slowly while she glared up towards him while shifting a bit to move past him, but before she could make it full around him, she felt a firm grip on her forearm, making her clench her jaw tightly, feeling a stronger sting of anger.

In a sudden motion, she turned, pulling her arm free from his grip while moving her hands in front of herself and shoving him back from her, watching him stumble momentarily, though catching his balance quickly, giving her an even more annoyed look.

“Leave. me. Alone! Jesus, why is that so hard for you to understand? I don’t want to talk to you about your stupid fucking ex-girlfriend or your bitch of a mother—or how she can stay out of our lives—”

She paused suddenly while staring at Nicolas with lightly wide eyes before stepping back a bit more, softening her expression faintly for a moment before tightening her hands into a firm fist, stomping her foot firmly on the ground while glaring at him in a more hurt tone.

“Or how you literally did nothing to her sucking up to you In front of me! Do you understand how that makes me feel– Don’t even answer because I know you fucking don’t!”

Nicolas watched her more speechless, in a bit of a stunned state, processing what she said while frowning lightly.

“Kasey I am.. I didn’t know it affected you this much.”

“You didn’t know, that’s the best you can come up with right now? "How the fuck would you feel if my ex came over and started being nice to me while cutting you down to shit– You’d lose it, and don’t you dare tell me otherwise.”

He stayed quiet for a moment, knowing that she did raise an honest point, before slowly letting out a sigh before stepping closer to her, moving his hands on her shoulders lightly.

Echo tensed faintly while narrowing her eyes, glancing up at him, crossing her arms, staying still.

“I am.. not sure what they, or she alone, may have said to you for you to become this upset.. but I assure you it is not true, and I can promise you that you have no need to worry about Kaitlyn, at all. There is a reason why I am with you right now and not her.”

Nicolas spoke in a softer, more sincere tone while keeping his eyes focused on Echos.

She kept her gaze on him, loosening her arms a bit, though still hesitant per se.

He stayed a bit quiet while stepping back, lightly pulling her towards the bed while sitting down with her, looking over at her in a more comforting, warmer way with a more genuine tone.

“Kasey. I do very much want you to know and understand that.. I do want to be with you, which is why I am despite what some people think. I..”

He paused briefly while gazing deeper into her eyes, smiling a bit faintly while continuing.

“I love you, Kasey.. a lot, and I hope you believe me when I say that..”

Echo stared at him with wider eyes, feeling more speechless herself, while easing up a little more, dropping her arms after a moment.

“Damn It, Nick.. You know.. Trying to be mad at you now is about 10x harder.”

She smiled lightly while sighing more, leaning towards him, resting her head on his shoulder while feeling his arm wrap around her shoulders.

“I know.. I assure you it is intentional.”

“Oh shut up..” She looked up at him a bit, staying quiet for a few moments before shaking her head lightly, relaxing against him.

“But.. I love you too, Nick, which is why that whole interaction was so annoying.. to be honest.”

“Mh.. Yes, I can understand that.. and I am sorry for not saying anything, or more, I suppose.”

She shrugged lightly while turning a bit more, moving her arms around him while crawling onto his lap, resting her head against his neck a bit.

“Does it really make a difference now? But, can you just—next time try?”

Nicolas nodded lightly while moving his arms around her more closely and securely, lightly caressing her back with his hand.

“Mhm.. I will.”

Echo leaned against him a bit more, letting out a softer content sigh, relaxing a little more while smiling softly. Feeling him lightly shift to kiss the top of her head.

@badthingshappenbingoTrope: Prank Gone Wrong

Oc:Kasey(Echo) & Nicolas (@whump-cafe)

× × ×

It was supposed to be a harmless prank. 

The one where you balance a bucket of water over a door, so when Nicolas opened it, he’d get soaked with water, and it probably would’ve gone over a bit better.

Had Nicolas not been holding his laptop upon entering his office, and Kasey didn’t have enough time to stop him before the water completely ruined it, and all his unsaved documents

“So how funny do you find this all now, mutt?”

Nicolas hissed in anger while throwing another pail of cold water towards Kasey roughly.

She let out a sharp gasp while turning her head away while moving her arms up, tucking towards her knees while flinching as the water hit her.

It quickly re-soaked her already damp clothing, sending a sharp chill through her as she clenched her jaw tightly while shaking her head in a delayed response. 

“N-no,Sir.." 

Her teeth chattered softly as she lowered her arms, though they remained bound together by hand-cuffs Nicolas had placed on her, chaining her to the floor in a kneeling position, with barely enough slack to be able to sit back without feeling a strain in her arms.

"Sorry? I didn’t quite catch that." 

Kasey stayed silent while shifting her gaze to the floor, feeling her body shivering more in an attempt to warm her frigid body.

Nicolas tossed the bucket aside with a hard thump as the hard plastic hit the concrete flooring.

"Isaid." 

His voice grew louder, though at the same time lower in a more threatening tone, making her flinch. 

Her eyes darted up while watching him step forward, kneeling down to her level, reaching out while grabbing her chin in his hand tightly.

"I did not quite catch that, Mutt, so speak up." 

"I s-said No sir, It’s not funny." 

"Oh, is that so.. and why the hell did you think it was going to be funny in the first place, hm?" 

"I don’t know.." 

"Do you ever think before you act, Mutt?" 

She stared at him before biting her lip tightly while gazing to the side, suddenly feeling him jolt her head lightly as she quickly looked back.

”Answer me.“ 

She slowly shook her head in his hand after a moment, feeling his grip tighten, making her wince softly.

"Yes, I obviously do—how the fuck was I supposed to know you’d have your laptop with you, and who doesn’t save their progress?”

Nicolas stared at her for a moment, faintly stunned at her sudden fire.

“Are you serious? That’s your best defence. ”

“..That and I thought it would be funny..”

Nicolas sighed, dropping her chin as he stood up, shaking his head in disbelief.

“I cannot believe you. Truly, I can’t." 

"You also couldn’t think of any better prank besides that..”

He glances down at her as he stands up, more unsure of how exactly to proceed.

Kasey shook her head while shifting her arms uncomfortably, looking up at him lightly with a softer look.

“Can you unchain me now?" 

He looked down at her for a moment with a deadpan look, sighing in an almost defeated way while shaking his head and turning away from her. 

"Hey, look! I learned my lesson, alright? You don’t have to leave me here–”

“No I don’t have to, Mutt. But I want to, at least for a few hours so I can work. In peace.” He spoke dryly, though somehow she could hear an almost faint humour in it.

“Are you serious?”

“Dead.”

He walked over towards the door while opening it and hearing a light clink from Kasey pulling on the cuffs.

“Sir!?”

She sounded more appalled than angry, as if she was shocked that her actions wouldn’t go unpunished or that he would simply let her go. 

“Oh get over it. You won’t freeze to death.”

Nicolas rolled his eyes while walking out of the room, closing the door behind him.

“It was a joke, you ass!”

“Sorry Mutt? I can’t seem to hear you..” He smiled faintly while lingering by the door for a moment.

“You responded, I know you can! You are not as funny as you think you are, Nick!”

“Hm, I beg to differ.”

He chuckled softly while moving away from the door after a moment, shaking his head at her childish reactions, though at the same time he couldn’t help but admire it.
