*slides a suitcase with money and a plate with cookies over to you* so about nick...
I'll take the cookies♥️
So yeah it's actually Nicholas but he's really happy that you call him Nick! Even if other people call him that too. It makes him feel closer to you! At least whatever has replaced Nick feel really happy...
Its really pretty simple story. A shapeshifter saw you and thought you're really cute! Its not like you were first cute person he saw but you were the first he coulnd't get out of his head, so he deciade to stay around and watch you! It was really easy as a shapeshifter, changing into a bird to follow you or into a random stranger to use the same buss as you. Everything about you made him only want you more and he thought that repleacing somone from your suronding is the easiest way. Ofcors he didn't want you to notice so he chose somone you didn't knew well yet and honestly this guy was pretty boring ethier way. Don't you think he's so much better then this boring guy who bearly even said hi to you? You deserve the best and he is gooing to be the best for you!
Nick ususaly take on shape of a deer when he's not with you. Nearby where you live is a big forest so seeing a deer around isn't too suprising and he's trying to blend in. Sometimes he takes on shape of a bird just to follow you around. No! It's not stalking! He just wants to keep you safe! You deserve to be safe! You won't even notice him so don't worry and have fun! He's going to protect you no matter what!
