@carisi-dreams here u go bb! Things are (probably) looking up for the trio after this //

You stay in Nick’s lap as you talk, head to his chest while he combs through your hair with his fingers and soothes you quietly. Sitting with him like this, it’s hard to feel anything but protected. With every voiced concern he nods along and doesn’t interrupt. Sonny starts to a couple times, but stops himself. 

“We can fix it,” Nick tells you, “okay? I’ll stop. All of it. And I’ll try to think things through more. Sonny can work less and we’ll move if we have to. Whatever it takes to make you happy.”

“There’s something else,” Sonny says. You and Nick look up him questioningly. “It’s in your eyes, doll. You’re relieved but you’re still worried. I can’t fix it if you don’t tell me what’s wrong.”

Lots of words come to mind but you don’t know how to choose which ones. With everything that’s been going on, you haven’t had a chance to be intimate in a few weeks, a fact that certain people have been aware of and used to up their harassment in ways they believed wouldn’t be caught. You lift the hem of your shirt to reveal some of the bruises that have yet to fade. Nick skates careful fingers over them. 

“Who did this to you?” he asks.

You know what could happen if you tell the truth. 

Then Nick’s eyes get wide and he stands up quickly, picking you up in the process. “I should’ve known.” He gently hands you off to Sonny like a child. “Stay with her, Dominick, keep her safe. I have some business to attend to.”

“Nick-” Sonny starts to call, but it’s too late.
