Nix's voice was still a little bit shaky and weird but Luna was glad he was calming down some. He seemed glad for her offer of help, even if he had denied it for the time being. Luna stayed silent then, content with just the quiet. She squeezed a little tighter on his torso.

After a while though, she had an idea. Her mother used to sing her a lullaby when she was younger to calm her down...maybe it would help Nix if she hummed or sang it? ...Nah, she'll sing it. With little confidence, but with all the lyrics in her mind, she quietly began singing.

"...T-time stood still for a while, your hand was holding mine. The stars that shined in your eyes...don't let them go by."

Confidence was growing some, but her voice still shook a little.

"Fly on you golden child, and take on your fears. I'll be with you in your dreams...the world is darker than it seems."

With a quiet breath out, Luna sang a few more verses.

"...And I'll be waiting for the light that guides us through the worst of nights...And I'll be waiting for a sign you're coming back, and you have found your path..."

The lullaby continued, albeit with a few lyrics changed to fit what was going on now. Luna's voice never grew louder, but it did start to have a happy tone to it. She didn't mean to do that, but she did hope it added to help Nix be happy again.

Nix settled for just sitting there in Luna's arms, listening to her voice. It kind of reminded him of someone else's voice, but the cadence of hers was a bit higher, a bit sweeter, a bit stronger. He closed his eyes and sighed, not even noticing the faint beeping sound of the oven until he smelled something (definitely charcoal, he though) coming from the oven.
He blinked again, and suddenly the beeping was super fucking obvious, the grating DRRRRIIIINGG of the oven making him question why he ever missed it.

"Ah SHIT - the pizza's burning!!" he yelled, trying to get up but utterly not being able to on account of Luna hugging him. "Shit, shit, SHIT!"

This was what always happened when shit like this happened.

Well shit. "U-uh...hold on, it's fine, calm down haha-"

Oh why did you have to get an oven that got progressively louder?

"...Yeah I'm going to go get that...gimme a minute..."
she said as she gently let go of Nix and got up. It certainly smelled burnt...but who knows, maybe that smell was from little crumbs that came off the last pizza? Luna can't help but be a little hopeful. She ran into the kitchen in a panic and shut the damn oven up with a click of the nob, and opened the door carefully. Smoke was indeed coming out of it, although it wasn't much. Luna sighed loudly.

"Sorry Nix, I uh...burnt the pizza. Maybe it's still a little salvageabl-"

Then she saw the card Nix gave her on the counter and froze, "Fuck, I forgot about the card..."

As soon as she said that, she turned towards the living room hoping to whatever god that existed there that Nix did not hear that. Ooooh the blush and panic on her face must've been reeeeeally obvious.

As soon as Luna got off him, Nix practically zoomed into the kitchen, almost smacking into the oven.
"IS THE PIZZA OKAY??" he yelled.

"Sorry Nix, I uh...burnt the pizza. Maybe it's still a little salvageabl-"

"Awwww, DAMNIT! I was gonna get hella mouth burns!"
His outburst interrupted her speech, almost conveniently so, but hearing her stop her words herself got Nix curious, and he cast a quick glance across the kitchen, looking for any sign of a threat. He knew from habit that threats were usually likely to pop up in the kitchen, especially when he was making cookies. Aside from the pizza, which was under control...
Aha. Nix spotted the card and grinned despite himself, a sheepish but hopeful grin. She'd kept it, no matter how cheesy it'd been. So it hadn't been a bad decision to have sent her a card. Even better - she seemed to have broken into a blush.
Okay, fine. So he miiight have blushed too. But this was the perfect time to tease her!
"I see you kept the card," Nix said. "Was my coffee pun that espressive?"

Luna straightened reeeeally slowly and cleared her throat. "Y-yeah...it was- wait a minute. 'Espressive'? Really?"

She couldn't help but laugh a little. "I'm sorry, THAT was bad, hehehe," and then she went silent after that. She was not sure what to do honestly...Luna reached over and took the card off the counter and stared at it. She kept looking between it and Nix, debating...

Do I really have to decide now..? I thought I'd have more time to think...

You know if you waited any longer you'd say the same thing right? Your procrastination problem is baaaaad.

...For once, you have a point.

"I-I'm...uh," jeez, tomato face much? "I u-uhm...I-I'll be honest, I haven't felt any sort of care like this from someone in a long time, or maybe I just didn't let myself feel it. Not from parents or friends...I don't know man...I'm scared I guess? ...That sounds silly. I'm just worried that the same thing that happened before will happen again you know?"

Luna looked at the floor for a brief moment, thinking. But then she smiled, realization dawning on her face. That feeling from earlier... "B-but you know what? Maybe I should trust the world again..."

She looked back up into Nix's eyes, and the grin on his face couldn't do anything BUT make her smile wider. "So...why the hell not? I-I uh... like you a latte too."

Nix grinned at the terrible pun Luna made to rival his own. "That's actually terrible." But the grin reeked of pride. It softened, too, when he nodded and thought about what she'd said. For the first time, he felt... like...

"I get that."

Nix stepped forward, towards Luna, and hugged her tight. Complete silence. Just a full moment of hugging and not much else.

"Thanks for.... well... thanks. For everything." he muttered, almost to himself, then pulled back.

"I guess I should help you clean up, huh?"
