Nikolai's glaring was, surprisingly, comforting. It was normal. It was just.... him. It made her forget that he was in pain. And even though she didn't necessarily like being totally sober... she'd do it for him. "Fine. No drinking around them." She'd intentionally agreed to that. Because 'them' didn't mean just 'him'. Even though she didn't drink around him either... This was going to make her drinking habits hard to keep. Probably his intention.
He didn't look.... more in pain then before as she settled down next to him. She bent one of her arms under her head as she looked up at him, his eyes finally opening and turning to look at her. Then he smirked. As if it was nothing. "What happened to 'please'?" She asked, feigning surprise, her eyebrows raising. She didn't move, as if taunting him. He shouldn't be moving much, either way, so unless he wanted to intentionally hurt himself, she had to come to him.

@magdalena <3 Nikolai's eyebrows rose and he winked at her, happy with her response. Good. She shouldn't have to drink. Technically, Niko would love it if she just stopped drinking altogether, but that was a mighty fine wish that would probably never come true. But hey, a boy could hope, right?
Magi's eyebrows rose and asked him for a please. Nikolai gave her a disgusted look. Really? He said it once, he wasn't going to say it again. He shook his head at her. "I will not say that word. And anyways, if you're really going to force me to move so I can give you a kiss, you're not a very nice girlfriend-" Niko stopped short. Did he just say that? His eyes widened slightly as he just stared at her. And then, hoping as if it would fix it, he shut his eyes tight, not looking at her.

Magdalena couldn't help that smug little smirk that appeared when she got that disgusted look from him, feeling quite proud of herself. He started speaking, and that smug look only grew bigger.... Until her expression just went deathly still. Girlfriend. He stopped speaking, realizing what he'd said. He looked... Well she wasn't sure. Surprised, shocked maybe. A little embarrassed? It was hard to read at that moment. Rather then continue, he just shut his eyes, refusing to look at her. Magi shifted, propping herself up on her elbow that she'd previously been using as a pillow and looked down at him. Eyes still closed. Her head tilted, before she leaned in, taking advantage of him not seeing her, and gently kissed him on the lips. It was short, but soft and sweet. She pulled back only a little after the small kiss, her eyes trained on his closed eyes, waiting for them to open. "You know, I want to be your girlfriend. If you'll have me." She breathed softly.

@magdalena <3 She looked quite happy with herself, and Nikolai would've said something had he not been hiding himself by shutting his eyes. He noticed her smile immediately disappear when he said girlfriend... He just hoped she wasn't afraid or nervous. Goodness! Nikolai had begun to tell her he loved her after he was stabbed, but she obviously had not heard him. The bed began moving, and his heart began to race. Knowing he should probably just open his eyes, he kept them shut, assuming she was just going to leave the room. But the gentle kiss on his lips told him different, and Niko smiled softly.
With his eyes still shut, he thought for a moment. "Of course I want you, Magdalena. I wasn't sure you'd want me..." His eyes opened.

The bugger didn't even open his eyes after the kiss. Just smiled. He probably felt happy that he'd gotten her to kiss him without saying 'please'. She almost scowled, but as he spoke, she felt her own smile return. "After everything that's happened, you didn't think I wanted you..?" She asked softly as he finally opened his eyes. After everything she'd done, she was sure he would have thought she wanted him by now. From how she'd confessed she'd fallen for him, when she'd asked him to spend the night, heck even her quitting her job (technically she hadn't yet, but considering recent events she hadn't been back to the club since he was stabbed.). All so she could be with him. She chuckled softly, shaking her head just a little and leaning down to kiss him again. This one was a little longer, though just as gentle. When she pulled back, she was still smiling. "Why do you have to be so dense?"

@magdalena <3 Nikolai wasn't sure if Magi was offended or shocked. He knew it was stupid, thinking she wouldn't want him, but it was something he had learned to do; assume the worst. That wasn't the best quality that Nikolai had and he knew it. Yes, Magdalena had done a ton of things that gave it away, how she felt about him. But even in the deepest of his heart he was always doubtful. No one wanted to be with the damaged kid.
That laugh. It was so beautiful, so glorious. Niko wanted to hear it for the rest of his life. His green eyes searched her own, looking for something in them, but he wasn't sure what. Niko watched her as she slowly leaned forward to kiss him again. He lifted up his right hand to touch her face, pulling her deeper into the kiss. It hurt his side to reach too far so he hoped she kept a nice distance.
"I. Am. Not. Dense!" Niko's eyebrows furrowed together, glaring at Magi. She was such a handful he didn't know how he was going to take her.

@jill9 Magdalena shifted just a little so he would have to pull her over so much as they kissed. She was mostly keeping her hands to herself at the moment, one propping her up and the other very gently against his side, far from his injury. She didn't want to aggravate it in any way. When the kiss broke and he quite forcefully said he wasn't dense, she smirked. Moving the hand from his side she gently poked his forehead, right between his eyebrows. "Didn't anyone tell you that your face will stick like that if you keep doing that?" she asked sweetly, before softly kissing him on the cheek. "Besides. I like how dense you are."

@magdalena <3 Her smirk drove him mad. She was taunting him, he knew that. He just didn't know how to react. Being injured and having an open wound didn't allow him to do much, unfortunately. Niko could just ignore her, but she'd probably get upset by then. "Yes, my mother used to tell me that when I was little. However it never happened, and look at me now! I'm handsome as can be." Nikolai smirked at her and rose an eyebrow. Magi was definitely something else, especially for the fact that she said she enjoyed him being dense. He scoffed at her and shook his head.
"You could've said something to me when you left the other day, you know...I thought you were angry with me." Niko's voice was quiet.

@jill9 Magdalena smiled at his cocky and confident attitude. "I don't know, I'm seeing a bit of a scowl line." she teased. If he was getting one, it was probably from her anyway. He was always scowling or glaring at her.
As he mentioned her quick exit the other day, her smile disappeared. She looked away for a moment, before shifting just a little so she was laying down next to him again, her arms tucked in close as she curled up against him. "I wasn't mad. I... I couldn't say anything." she knew that sounded strange. How could she not be able to speak? And yet she'd found herself totally mute from the time they got to the hospital to today.

@magdalena <3 Nikolai couldn't help but laugh at her. He knew he didn't have whatever line she was speaking of, but he couldn't help but find Magi amusing. She was definitely trying to annoy him more, but he knew better.
Magdalena's face fell, and although Nikolai felt bad, he wanted to know. It was weird, having her act that way and not speak. Just watching her leave the room was hard enough, not being able to get up and chase after her was even worse. "It hurt me to see you that way and not be able to do anything about it. I didn't want you to go..." Yes, Niko had wanted to be with Dan most, but that wasn't anything against Magi. Dan was just the one person who knew him through and through.

Nikolai laughed. That was without a doubt the best sound she'd heard in a while, and did wonders to ease that pain inside. He seemed to figure out the game she was playing, and chose not to be baited into it, which was a shame. She liked annoying him and proving how much of a handful she was. It made their relationship fun.
Hearing him say how he wished she hadn't left made her smile just a little, but she turned into the bed, so the smile was hidden. It wasn't like he could see her when she was laying down next to him anyway, but still. It was always nice hearing him say things like that, especially because she'd grown so used to being... well disposable. But knowing that someone wanted her around, and not for the same reasons as patrons at the nightclub, was... nice. It made her chest feel warm and fuzzy, as vague of a description as that was. "I'm sorry." She finally softly muttered. She hadn't meant to just... shut down like that. But it just happened. It'd happened when she found out her mother was murdered. It'd happened when her father was arrested. For some reason when she was confronted with heart ache, she just... shut down. Withdrew deep into herself and clung desperately to the few things she could control as everything spun out of her grasp. "I won't leave again, I promise."

@magdalena <3 Nikolai felt her move, but he didn't know what she was doing. He couldn't turn too much, and he didn't want to stress out his side. He wanted it to heal as fast as possible, and by torturing it wasn't the way to go. Magi moved once more, and then she apologized. It made Niko smile gently. He was glad she was sorry. It had really hurt him to just watch her go; it really broke him down. Fortunately, he had family around, so he hadn't cried his eyes out. That is, until...well, Dan held him. It had been a rough night for Nikolai, but it was slowly starting to get better. "Thank you for apologizing." He took a breath, trying not to breath too deeply as he didn't want his lungs stretching out the cut. Niko's eyes stared at the ceiling, not sure where Magdalena's were. "Are you sure you won't leave again? I don't know if I could deal with that pain another time."

@jill9
Magdalena only nodded as he accepted her apology. She didn't move for the new few moments. Just lay there next to him, barely touching. It wasn't nearly as much as she wanted though. She wanted to put her arms around him and have his around her. But she wasn't going to make him move like that. He needed to get his rest, so he could heal as fast as possible. So he wasn't confined here. If she had her way, she'd take him home right then and there and take care of him herself, but she wasn't that great at healing. At all. It was better for him to be here. Where he might actually heal.
Eventually he was the one to speak, asking if she was sure she wouldn't leave. She pursed her lips together, and closed her eyes. She hadn't meant to hurt him by leaving. And yet, she had. She sat up on the bed again, so she could look down at him. "I'm sure. I won't leave you again." She repeated, no wavering or doubt in her voice.

@magdalena <3 Magdalena sat up and Nikolai looked straight at her. He knew she was trying to be careful for him. Granted, he was hurt. But he would probably survive her wrapping her arms around him. The healers and mediwizards wouldn't, but hey, it was his body, right? Niko knew better, but he also knew that all he wanted was Magdalena, no matter how much pain he was in. "Good. You better keep that promise, or I'll have to punish you." His entire face lit up and he smirked at her.
Goodness, was she beautiful. Nikolai Cedric Krum was falling in love, he already was in love, and if he wasn't so shy about it, he'd have told her. But with her staring at him like this, looking deep into his eyes, he wasn't sure if he could. Niko opened his mouth to speak, but shut it again. He wanted it to be sweet when he told her, to be a great moment. But sitting here in the hospital...it just didn't feel great. It didn't feel right, no matter how much the words lingered on the tip of his tongue.

@jill9
Magdalena raised an eyebrow at his bold statement and smirk. "Punish me?" She repeated, as if to make sure she'd heard correctly, before her own smirk appeared. "How?" The way she said almost made it sound like, depending on what she said, she wouldn't mind.
She tilted her head as his mouth opened, as if to say something else. But.... Nothing came out. He didn't say anything. Then, just like that, he closed it, and her head tilted to the other side.What was he wanting to say? What was he holding back? For some reason she chose not to ask, letting him keep his secrets for now. Instead she sat up even more. "Move your arm." She softly commanded. His arm was making it difficult to get comfortable. She'd rather have his arm around her, then pinned to his side as she curled up next to him.
