Disclaimer: I do not own Chronicles of Nick

This story is dedicated to Chronicles of Nick avid fan, I do these stories when I have inspiration and your story's give me inspiration to write more of this. This story is also inspired by Illusion with dear Xevikan.

Warning: thoughts could be taken as gay or really strong friendship/family. Also I think this is how Xev would react after the epilogue, but if you disagree please do not flame me I did my best. Thank you I appreciate that, I have warned you of the two dangers coming into this story.

The newest follower of the Malachai sneered as he watched Nick, his Uma-Sarru and newest charge, embraced the Arel that Xevikan had rescued for him. Xevikan was already regretting bringing her back; the attention of one of the only people to care about him is now diverted by some measly female who could never live up to any real expectation. The only reason he brought her back was because he believed in repaying a debt, and he owed Nick his life and then some. All because the hatchling believed in him more than his own family.

The girl was pretty, he supposed, but nothing that struck him as worthy of the most powerful being in existence besides the gods themselves. She must have some sort of brain if she could detect what he was so quickly, but he was much smarter than her. Being an Arel she must know how to fight, but he was just a step below the Malachai in that respect so even that doesn't impress him.

What was so special about this girl that his new charge found? Why was he feeling so angry about this one being here? He had only just met Nick himself, so why was he so attached.

He couldn't help but love the attention he got when Nick noticed he was hurt, it was so nice to have someone care about his well being. It made him think he was worth something for the first time in centuries.

Something twisted inside him as the boy walked to go get dinner. It was a bad feeling that would only leave when Nick walked back in that room safe and sound. It was like the feeling a father and mother would have when their baby left their sight for the first time. It was an empty pit Xevikan never wanted to know.

"Xev, are you alright?" that kind voice asked. The Sarru-Darra opened his eyes to look at the younger one. He had a plate of human food ready for him, held out just within reach. "I thought you said the wound wasn't bad?"

"It isn't." his voice was a little choked. "I just feel . . . overwhelmed by emotions here in this household. We had nothing like it when I was still with my family. It's a refreshing change."

Nick smiled at him, "I'm glad you're alright."

Xev bit his lip, "Thank you for your concern Mal- Gautier."

The hatchling wrapped his arms around Xev in a hug that was twice in a day that he had gotten one of these, "No one deserves to suffer; whatever happened with your family is done with. You have my mom and me now."

Okay thanks for reading! I know its weird but I had to get it off my chest, Xev is now one of my favorite characters. And when Xev is calling Nick a hatchling, he is referring to the fact that to demons 16 is still like a baby. Oh and I would like to know what you guys think I should write, I want to know what kind of stories to put into this fandom (cause it needs some).
