Evan closed his eyes and leaned back on the couch and lightly blew out a held breath. 'This is insane, This is insane, This is insane.' he took in another breath and let it out slowly. He should not be feeling sorry for this guy, He was practically saying he didn't give flying cahoots that he had kidnapped him just because he didn't have any friends. but....<br/><br/>Evan opened his eyes and stared -studied- Nexoki. Evan could still see the cocky S.O.B that dragged him through the mirror, yet underneath he seemed dejected, almost desperate, in a way that made his heart squeeze, and he had to stop himself from giving him a hug. And, as much as he hated to admit it, Nexoki's words resounded with him, uncomfortably familiar.<br/><br/>"No I don't have anyone waiting for me there, other than my brother, sister, and studio."<br/><br/>A beat of silence<br/><br/>"Ok..."he relented "I'll stay with you and be your...friend." Evan cringed in disbelief at his own words. "However, I reserve the right to go home, when I need to. Contrary to what you may believe I do have a life there I can't just abandon." He struggled with his next words.<br/><br/>" I promise I will stay here the majority of the time, if you let me do that." He stood up and walked over to Nexoki and stuck out his hand "What do you say? Friendship is a two way street after all."
