[ nico's fast, fast enough to dodge the strike towards his crotch while still keeping a hold on kavinsky. he's also calculating and able to catch small details, like the way his eyes begin to water and kavinsky seems to tear up. in nico's mind, this clearly shows that kavinsky is hurting a lot more than he's letting on. as if he can't quite reveal his emotions properly so has to act with bravado and forced edginess. nico gets it. it was not so long ago that he was similar in the way he let his feelings show.
but he's not going to sympathize with kavinsky. not when he knows it's kavinsky's choice to behave the way he has been. but he'll throw the other boy a bone. hauling him up, he leans close, dark eyes gleaming as frowns. ]
You're an idiot, you know that?
[ it's the only warning kavinsky gets before nico kisses him. ]
