Love Is Already There (For Nikki)
Alex N.O.S
An alternative homage from a parallel universe. In Curry Barker's Obsession, a wish forces love into being. This is the version where nothing had to be forced.
Before the wish, Nikki already teases Bear, tests him, lets him closer than anyone else. In the end she asks whether he likes her. Little signs. Every chance. He never answers honestly while he still can.
In the film, the wish becomes a curse. The real Nikki stays trapped inside it and eventually wakes up among the bodies of her friends, everything she wanted destroyed. She had wanted to be a writer, and had told him that to write about real love, she would have to feel it first.
This song is the night he says yes. Maybe they would have fallen for each other. Maybe they would have stayed together, loved forever, or eventually walked away. He does not need to know. For once, it would have been their choice.
No wish. No control. No fear deciding for them. No changing who she was just so he could have her. Just her, him, and one honest answer. It was already there.
Written for the Nikki that Inde Navarrette gave us.
