Nikki would never know how it feels like to be as beaten up as Sami was right now, but she knew one thing - her desire to help was growing, which may lead to something more then just a simple disagreement. But hopefully, it will all fall into place. “Okay, I won’t rush you. Just…”, squatting down in front of his chair, the brunette let one of her palms cup the side of his face, running her thumb over the stubble there. “This is so freaking weird, but I worry about you. Seeing you like this makes me want to cry… Man, I am so stupid…” In her life Nicole did some stupid things, but it never came to things like this. Taking one of the cleaner napkins from the Canadian, she used it to wipe some blood from his upper lip. Each movement was light and precise, as she cleaned him up, throwing those dirty napkins away.

      ^{“Nikki, you don’t have to-”      Sami cut himself off, deciding to sit still as he cleaned his wounds, realizing it really wasn’t necessary to be stubborn when she desperately wanted to help. There was no mistaking the guilt in her tone, in her expression with the words that followed. He liked Nikki’s kindness and easy-going personality, and he didn’t want to risk ending a budding friendship over something that wasn’t worth it. “You’re not stupid,”He started with a light shake of his head, a warm smile that he hoped conveyed his understanding lifting his cheeks.      “You just have a big heart, s’all. That’s nothing to be ashamed of. I appreciate the concern. Thank you for everything.”}
