Even Adalind made the same comment when she got her powers back. Almost every wesen Nick meets fears he will kill them. This has been debated. The fear is not rational thought but instinct. What is not clear, is it learned or hereditary. Because Juliette also had the fear, leads more to it being hereditary.Adalind wasn't afraid Nick would kill her, she was afraid he'd kick her and Kelly out at least that's what she told Rosalee. I think she was more afraid of Nick seeing her as the evil hexenbiest he fought with and hated. Juliette feared for her life, not Adalind.

With regards to the kissing some actors keep their kisses quite chaste and others prefer to swallow their partners whole. I haven’t seen Nick kiss enough to say he doesn't have any desire/passion for Adalind. He's told her he wanted to kiss her for a while, I have seen him oogle her, get awkward when she was in his shirt/saw her bra in the bathroom, he's caressed her, leaned into her kiss after finding out about her powers, comforted her and held her close after confessing about her powers. This show isn't about romance so we don't get gratuitous displays of affection etc. The writers only tell/show enough to drive the plot and if it's not relevant to the plot, we'll never see it.Quote:Nick was caressing Adalind in bed when he thought about their fight from season 1. Adalind was leaning into him before Nick's phone rang. They were both talking about how they never thought they would do what they did the night before while embracing each other. They would've done so a bit longer had Nick not received the call.He was laying on his back she had her head on his chest. He had his arm draped around her. Take it from a guy that is what we do after sex just before reaching for our pants. And to think that is the most tender moment they have to gether. Even the kiss was cold and lacked passion.
With Nick and Juliette when in bed she ends up in his arms and they are holding each other. Not Nicks arm draped over her.
Nick and Juliette have a number of scenes that the two are showing affection for each other.

I have not found a video showing that much affection with Nick and Adalind.
There is another big difference. When Adalind was Juliette and he reached for her she pushed him away. When Juliette was Adalind they ended holding each other. Showing it is a character trait and not an actors limitation.
Nick is not indifferent to Adalind and we honestly can't compare relationships because people aren't the same and he's in a different place with Adalind than he was with Juliette, neither cancels out the other, the only thing he can do is to choose which woman he wants to be with moving forward. The showrunners and the actor keep telling us Nick loves/in love with Adalind whether or not we believe it, they certainly do and they kind of have more authority over that than say my interpretation of the story and how not good it's being told. The mistake is also thinking love is only expressed in certain defined parameters that meet your standard alone. That's why we have things like first love and second and fourth and so on and love where opposites attract, love based on similarities, love at first sight vs falling in love with best friend. Love can grow from a variety of circumstances, it can instant or take years to grow like in some arranged marriages in different cultures. I don't think Nick is in love with Adalind but he most definitely has feelings for her (love...lust...whatever), feelings that he hasn't truly explored within himself because of everything that has been happen with BC and especially now that he knows she's a full fledged hexenbiest. It's just been months, I can't compare that to him and Juliette at the same stage because I don't know. He could have have been jittery or hesitant or pushy, the show wasn't airing at that stage of the relationship to give me a better understanding of his almost stagnant relationship with Adalind. At this stage his feelings for her could grow stronger or weaker but we won't know until the show returns.
You know, I read this and I could not have said this any better. Well said especially....

Only thing is this part but my opinion, every one is entitled to theirs.....

I believe he is in love but does not realize it yet, thats why "not trully explored" fits this category, and ofcourse with all the things happening, all he wants to do now is keep them safe. so with that, I also believe when he does go extra miles, it could make him understand how much he will do for them and that could be what triggers his feelings for her to be clear as to Adalind knowing too on how much he feels for her for his actions.
