The moment he’d said ‘lesbian best friend’, Damian’s eyebrows shot up so high they very nearly threatened to vanish into his hairline (for real, this time)—so the whispers that he’d been hearing through the rumor mill did hold some truth after all. Now if that didn’t count as an admission from him, then he didn’t know what else.
So, he openly admits it about Mia, huh… but I already know what boat she sails for so it’s no surprise he’s still rather hung up over her… he thought to himself, inching the platter of peanuts and roasted garlic in the other’s direction while grabbing some peanuts for himself and eating them in silence while contemplating on how to best address the question that had been asked his way.
“Let’s just say that I can give good advice but I’m shit at following it when I’m involved,” he said shortly, finally placing an elbow on the counter and resting the right side of his face in his hand. “Twelve years gone off the grid and then suddenly, wham… he returns again. Like… I’m not going to lie, that problem you have with your ex being your first everything… I’m in the same boat, too.”
Now, was he going to go deeper and explain, or…? He waited for an acknowledgement from the other before he would continue spilling all the sordid details of that disaster to his companion…

Nik slightly quirked a brow of his own when Damian gave him That Look. Dude, did you not hear him say yeah he was in love with Mia like ten minutes ago? Were you only just now realizing he was serious? Eh, whatever.
Damian claiming he was in the same boat, though... Nik squinted pretty hard. Was he sure Damian wasn't just fucking with him about all this? ...Nah, he seemed pretty embarrassed. In fact, this was probably the most humble and vulnerable-looking Nik had ever seen him? And Nik did not imagine the eternal stick in the mud was capable of being this good an actor, which only left one possibility. But even then...
Tone almost annoyed or accusatory, but weak and tired enough it should only come off borderline at worst, Nik asked, "K back up a sec cause I gotta be clear. Does yours include first non-family friend, or just all the boyfriend-related shit? Also I swear to Arceus if you tell me you were 14 and you thought he was the coolest guy ever because he dressed like a Hot Topic ad I might have to punch you."

Now that he was in the spotlight, there was nothing else to it. it was time to man up (heh) and start spilling the beans.
Although, since he was starting to feel more than just embarrassment, he hid the bottom half of his face under his scarf as he felt the coloration of shame spread across his cheeks. How was he even going to begin?! Anyway, once he’d taken a few deep breaths to calm himself, he decided that he had nothing to lose—he was already at this particular point, why prolong the agony any further?
“No, I was eighteen when I met him. Exchange program in university back in Hoenn, where I grew up. He’s four years older than I was at the time. Twenty-two or whereabouts. Came for the summer term and it was like, what, the best two and a half months of my life? Yeah, until he suddenly left,” he muttered, eventually sinking his face into his arms on the counter.
Hell, he’d never thought he’d be talking about all of this with Nikolai Laska over beer at some seedy bar far away from where people knew him by sight. But it’s better than telling this to Mike, because he hates the guy. Artie’s in the middle, so I don’t know what he’d think… but I’m pretty sure he’d side with Mike now, knowing how shit turned out… he thought to himself.
“Anyways, he’s an intellectual. I mean, the guy was working on his stuff for master’s education and my uni was offering special units he needed so… in he came with several others and spent time there. Of course, you may be thinking, ‘isn’t ten weeks a little too short to get to know someone’, but bear in mind I didn’t have much time to waste…” he continued, grabbing the bottle and downing the rest of the contents in one go.
Frowning a little at the empty bottle, he then placed it back on the counter, where it was cleared away and quickly replaced with another. Normally he didn’t drink so much beer, but he needed something to keep him talking…

Nik was squinting, very very slowly squinting harder and harder as Damian's story continued. Four years, huh? That was a little more than Nik's case-- only three years-- but being in uni rather than the equivalent of middle school (with a high school boyfriend) made it seem more ah... palatable than people tended to find Nik's story, hrm. But...
As he effectively called himself out, Nik frowned. "Yeah, that is what I was thinking," he said bluntly. "I was twelve the first time I met Orion, and I looked up to him from a distance for nearly two years before I finally got the courage to try befriending him. We hung out pretty often for about a year after that, and dated around half of that, so..." So he shouldn't have much sympathy for Mr. 'knew a guy for 10 weeks and called it love'... but...
"But..." he sighed aloud. "I guess... I know how easy it can be to get caught up when someone finally tells you you're worth a damn....." Who was projecting? he didn't know what you were talking about.
