"What do you care?"
"Just asking." 

Silence. Until... 

"I like him."
"Ah..."
"And I think I'm growing jealous." 

Niko didn't respond. Jealousy... he had been jealous at points in his life. How lame. But as he watched the other man and Mick talk... Niko couldn't help but feel something inside him. He shook his head. There relasionship was unlabled. He had wanted that. So what was the point in being upset? Its not like they were dating... 

"I understand." Niko muttered 
"You do?"

"Yeah. I mean I've felt that way before. Not currently, but its been a feeling." 
"Oh- I assumed the guy you were with... was-"

"Nope." Niko took a sip of his drink "Are you and that guy together?"

"No..." the guy sighed "I want to be though... I think... its kinda complicated"
"Oh."

Complicated was a good word. Niko filed that away for later. He glanced back over to the dance floor- trying not to break the cup in his hand. Why the fuck am I so mad? This is pathetic. Niko then noticed two men in suits that appeared to be standing a few spaces away from Mick and the man. That seemed odd. Niko quickly shuffled his way onto the dance floor 

"Mick."
"Heyyyyyyyyy!" Mick grinned "WHATS UP MAN"
"Are you- drunk-"
"NOPE. Just having a great time!!" 

Niko stared. Mick looked so happy. It made the feeling in his stomach grow. 

"Ok well I need to talk to you." 
"Not right now. We're dancing." 
"Yeah that would be rude." The man suddenly said 
"Nobody asked you."

"Don't be rude dude." Mick muttered "We can talk later. I'm having fun. Yah know... kinda what Im supposed to be doing" 
"Mick seriously. I need to talk to you." 
"Can't it wait?" 
"Obviously I wouldn't be asking again and again if it could wait." 
"Just leave the guy alone." The man spoke up again 
"Oh shut the hell up! No ones talking to you! Mind your own damn business."

Niko paused after seeing the way Mick stared at him in shock. 

"You know what. Fine. I don't care." Niko then walked all the way back to the bar and ordered himself another drink. 

"You look mad."

"I am." Niko muttered taking a few sips of his new drink 

More silence. Fuck this shit. If Mick wanted to throw it all away on some random man- so be it. Niko didn't care. Why would he care. The random man and Mick approuched the bar once more. 

"That was fun." Mick stretched 
"Im sure it was." Niko muttered 
"Whats with you?" 
"Nothing." Niko spoke bitterly "Can I talk to you now, or do you want to go run off with another guy again?"

"Fine we can go talk." Mick muttered 

Niko dragged Mick all the way to the bathroom. He must have looked incredibly angry considering the man in the bathroom took one look at his face and rushed out of there. Good. He didn't want anyone in here while he was speaking anyways. Niko leaned against the counter. 

"So... did you happen to get any information at all?" 
"No- why are you so mad?" Mick asked 
"Why didn't you try to get information?" Niko retored "I was trying to talk to you about the fact that you can't just run off with some random person-"
"Ok well you didn't have to get so upset."
"I never said I was upset."
"You look upset. And mad- and something else i can't quite put my finger on-"
"I'm not upset." Niko crossed his arms "Im annoyed that you spent all that time and didn't get any sort of intel."
"I was trying to blend in" 

Niko just scowled. What an idiot. Ok- he was also an idiot for letting his feelings get to him. 

"You seem mad i went and danced to. If you wanted to dance with me you could have asked." Mick grumbled 
"Unlabled."
"Wow. Ok." 

Mick looked mad now. Great. Niko ran his hand over his face. 

"Thats not what I meant to say-"
"Its whatever." 

Oh and now Mick looked upset. Good lord. 

"And why do you look upset?"
"Because your acting like I was running off with another guy like we're in a relasionship... and I-" Mick leaned against the sink counter "I dont-"
"Sorry..." Niko also leaned against the sink counter "Not used to- um- not used to- I think i was-"

"Jealous?"

"Tch- no."
"Thats what it sounds like"
"What kind of loser gets jealous" 
"You." Mick teased 
"Dont tease me."

"Or what?"

Niko looked at him 

"This is a bathroom"
"Im aware"

"Im not just gonna-"
"Oh i wasn't implying doing it." Mick stretched "Funny how your mind went to that tho."

"Shut the fuck up."

When Mick hit him with that grin, teasing smile and got right up in his face and said "Make me" Niko almost lost his mind. 

Scratch that- He did lose his mind. 

"We cant just- make out- in- a- bathroom-" Niko muttered 
"Says who-"
"me-"
"well tell you to shut up-"

That worked. At least Mick wasn't kissing that other guy. Niko was 99% sure someone walked in and saw the fact that Mick was up against a wall- but he didn't really care at the moment. It was nice- it made him feel better to. Eventually the two broke apart- and Mick looked happy 

"You like a dog that was gifted a treat" Niko joked

"I love dogs so this is a compliment" 

Niko chuckled. The two walked out of the bathroom just for them to see the man Mick had danced with and the man with dyed hair handing off an envelope to a cloaked figure. 

"Knew it." 

But right as Niko and Mick both charged forward the man Mick had danced with shot the ceiling lights causing a wide spread panic. 

"WE HAVE TO CATCH HIM." Niko snapped at the guards of his 
"ALREADY ON IT BOSS" 

Niko rushed after the man Mick had danced with- desperate to catch him. Mick followed close behind wanting to know more about Angelicas involement with them and what exactly had happened. 

"We wont catch them on foot. Get in the car." 

Mick jumped in the car and held on tight as Niko zoomed down the road- breaking all the speed limit signs. Niko didnt care. He needed this information. His guards were already on the trail of the cloaked figure- but he wanted the main guy. 

"COME ON YOU STUPID CAR GO FASTER." 

Niko was of course already going as fast as he could. But he needed to keep going he needed this info. Mick stared at Niko as he drived. Good lord the man looked so determinded and angry. 

And Niko would get more angry. He managed to hit the mans car with his- but by the time he and Mick got to the car- the two men had disapeared. 

"FUCK." Niko threw his gun on the ground in anger "Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. The guards better of found something I swear to god. I swear to god- why was I so dumb- dumb enough to go in the bathroom- dumb enough to let this stupid feeling GET TO ME." 

Niko glanced over at Mick who looked like he was about to apologize 

"Dont. Not your fault. I don't regret the- I dont regret making out with you or anything. Im just angry." 

Mick nodded. The guards then showed up a few minutes later. 

"Sir, we didn't catch the cloaked man- he unfortunatly slipped out of our grasp. However, we were able to retrive the envelope." 
"Hand it over."

The guard handed over the envelope. Niko ripped it open and stared. It was a plain sheet of cardstock paper. But with a simbol on it. 

A simple triangle with a * in the middle 

Niko knew that simbol... he knew it well... 

this- none of this was good. 

His entire organization- the entire mafia- was definintly in complete danger-
