A/N: Hey everyone, I'm back with another story. But this one is for Nick Valensi, I'm slowly falling in love with this man. He's so cool and cute!!! Anyway, hope you enjoy it! <3
High school has been boring, people annoy you and nobody catches your eye. It was Monday afternoon in homeroom. You were sipping on the juice box that you brought as you doodled on a random notebook you had. The teacher walks into the room, but so does a tall brown-haired boy following behind the teacher. He wore a white collared shirt with a red tie. His outfit came with a dark-colored leather jacket he wore on the outside.
No doubt, he was cute. In your school, new students were partnered with a student who already enrolled in the school prior. This is done so the new student can tour around the school with the old student. All the girls flock around hoping it is them that gets him. You didn't care you continued to draw as the teacher told the girls to go to their seats and he would announce who the new boy would be with.
"Okay Okay, I know you guys are excited to see who Nick here is partnered with. But I already have the person in mind." The teacher states while looking unamused. You look up to pay attention to the teacher.
"Nick, could you sit by Y/N? She'll be your partner to help you tour around." The teacher said pointing to you and the open spot near you. Nick nods and begins walking towards you. You were shocked but you remained calm on the outside. The girls in your homeroom give you dirty looks as Nick sits next to you.
"Um hi, I'm Y/N. But you probably already knew that when the teacher said it." You said smiling at him, Nick looks at you and smiles as well before he opens his mouth to talk.
"Yeah, I'm Nick. I'm guessing you already knew that too," Nick said chuckling at you. You smiled wider and closed your notebook.
"Nick, tell me about yourself. I will tell you about myself in return," You said smiling widely. Nick looks down and then back up at you.
"Well, I play guitar. Me and my buddies are in a band. Um, I love music, my favorite artists are Blondie and The Velvet Underground. They're my inspiration for my guitar playing" Nick explained, you sat there and listened as he talked. You admired his voice, it was relaxing and calm.
"Oh cool, well I guess I have to keep my word." You said smiling. Nick nods and sits closer to hear you better.
"I write, bake, play ukelele, I collect CDs. I love music as well. My favorite artists are The Cure, Talking Heads, and Sonic Youth. There's not a lot of interesting about me I guess." You explain while laughing. trying to ignore the feeling of awkwardness. Nick notices your nervousness and embrassassent. He leans closer to whisper in your ear.
"You don't have to feel embarrassed around me, I won't judge you," Nick whispers, sending shivers running down your spine. Your face flushed red as Nick slowly lifted his head while smiling. Your nervousness gets the better of you, as you reach for your juice box, your finger falls weak from shaking so much. You drop the juice box, and it hits the ground.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I'm just not used to someone being this close," You explained while laughing at yourself. Nick looks at you with gentle eyes and gets up to grab some paper towels. Nick comes back with a handful of paper towels. He bends down and begins to clean up the spilled juice.
"No, Nick. I should clean it," You said while bending down to Nick's level and holding his hand to clean up the juice instead. Nick looks up at you and smiles gently. His hands were warm and not sweaty at all, unlike yours which were cold and sweaty. You were nervous and shaking. Nick notices and pulls you in suddenly. His face was inches away from yours. The air freezes between the two of you. Seconds pass and he presses his lips against yours. His lips were soft, your nerves calmed down and you began to close your eyes. Nick pulls away and looks at you. You open your eyes and look at him.
"Are you alright now?" Nick asked as he still held your hand. You couldn't form words, you studdered out a response.
"I-I'm okay, you didn't have to do that," You said looking at Nick worried. Nick still notices you're nervous.
"I know, but I wanted to. You seem unique and I like that," Nick said while letting go of your hands and getting up to throw the wet paper towels. Nick comes back and holds out his hand to help you up. You take his hand and stand up.
"Come on, let's go. I want to see around the school." Nick demands as he drags you out of the classroom in a hurry. You look down and smile at what just happened.
"I like you already" You managed to mutter out. Nick hears you and turns his head to face you.
"I know, I like you too," Nick responds by smiling at you as he drags your arm to the vending machine.
"Seems like you know more about this place than me, but what are we doing here?" You asked looking up at him. Nick chuckles and inserts money into the machine.
"Getting you a new juice box, I felt bad you dropped your old one," Nick said as he pressed the option for juice. The box drops and Nick quickly drops it. He hands it to you, it is still cold. All you could do was smile at him. Nick smiles too and takes your hand again.
"Now, time for the real fun, show me around," Nick said running around excitedly. You walked ahead of him and began to take the lead.
"Okay fine, let's go," you said sipping on the new juice box and running ahead. Nick follows behind and watches as you sip on the juice box. Nick smiles and feels happy that you are too. The energy between the two of you is bright and you blush at the idea of Nick.

The fight and taking things further - Nick Valensi x reader pt 8
Tonight was going to be wild. You all were going to an actual club for the first time in months and ALL of you were bound to get fucked up as that was your ultimate goal. All of you were pregaming in the tour bus before the real fun, and lemme just say, you all were….FUCKED UP ALREADY. Go figure.
Laying on top of Nick, you giggled as he kissed your neck, mumbling a “let’s just get outta here…You look so sexy right now..” A hand lifted the hem of your shirt ever so slightly.
“Not now, babe, the guys are gonna lose their shit!” You practically yelled, not realizing you were talking that loud.
Everyone began to laugh their head off - Fab even beginning to cry at how hard he was laughing. It was obvious you all were…on some things, but no one really cared as you were as so set on going to the club. It was called “Club XO” and everyone was well…looking for a little ‘xo’ action if you catch my drift.
——————
Walking into the club on some…things was like walking into Alice in Wonderland with the lights flashing, music pounding against the walls, sweaty bodies rubbing up against each other, the smells of sweat, weed, and liquor apparent. It was disgusting, but you all loved it in that moment. It wasnt like you all didnt frequent clubs like this anyway, yknow?
“Nick…this is….crazy…” You grabbed his hand which was shaking and pulled him to the dance floor immediately. This was gonna be a loooooooooong night.
——————
You and Nick had separated for a little while as you wanted to dance some more and he wanted to hang out in the bathroom and get a little higher to take away the anxiety he was feeling. You knew he was having a hard time, so you didn’t want to keep him on the dance floor if he felt uncomfortable. Letting him go, you decided to dance by yourself until someone came up to you and asked to dance. He was tall, rather pale and thin, and dressed rather interestingly; he introduced himself as Peter (hehe).
“D’ya wanna dance?” He asked in a heavy British accent.
You smiled and yelled a very enthusiastic ‘yeah!’ Of course you weren’t gonna turn down a chance to dance with someone! You loved doing it and he seemed kinda cool, so….
After about 10 or so minutes of dancing with him, he pulled you a little closer, his hand on your waist. You smiled and leaned in, the two of you dancing a little closer. Little did either of you know that Nick had spotted this scene as he walked back to you on the dance floor and, boy, was he pissed. So when Peter pulled you in and kissed you, Nick felt like the whole world stopped, his heart shattered, his anger rising up quickly. When the lanky man made it up to the both of you, he tapped Peter’s shoulder to which Peter turned around to tell whoever to ‘fook off’ because he was ‘with a bird.’ Nick decked him. Hard.
“You fuckin prick! That’s my girlfriend! I swear to god, I’ll fucking—“
Peter pushed him, trying to get a punch in, but Nick was just a little too New Yorker for him and knew how to fight pretty well. He was gonna show that English prick how people dealt with things in New York.
Next thing you knew, the two men were wrestling each other on the floor with everyone around them confused and you screaming for them to stop. The guys noticed some sort of commotion coming from the dance floor, so they decided to check it out and, upon seeing Nick was in the middle of a fight, ran to pull the two men off of each other.
Once they tore apart the two idiot men, you ran over to Nick to reprimand him and to also make sure he wasnt too hurt.
“What the hell, Nick!?”
“He was kissing you! Like hell was a gonna let him just fucking kiss you!”
You bit your lip and looked over at Pete who looked to be a bit of a mess as compared to Nick who probably got like one punch to his person and maybe a scratch, though his knuckles were all nasty…again. He looked about ready to either kill someone or cry…or both.
Julian walked over to you and Nick. “Listen, we got that guy, you two just leave before like….,” he pointed to Nick, “you get yourself into more trouble.”
You grabbed your boyfriend’s hand and rushed out of the club, trying to avoid everyone who was looking in your direction. You were embarrassed and angry and sad and confused and— you just couldn’t believe it.
———————
When you two got the hotel, Nick had cooled off a bit and calmed down. You on the other hand….
“Nick. I cant fucking believe you.” You stated, trying to sound assertive, but instead you just sounded sad.
“He kissed you.”
“I know, but that was a little…overkill. You really did a number on that guy. Like do you know how bad that’s gonna look on all of us?! Like…you’re gonna get into so much trouble! You do realize youre famous right?! Everyone’s gonna be talking about this tomorrow!”
“I dont care. He kissed you.”
You put your head into your hands, trying not to totally freak out. You didnt want his reputation to be ruined because of you and that was scaring the shit out of you.
“Fuck..Nick…why’d you have to do that..?” You asked as you very softly rubbed his now dried bloody knuckles. He hissed quietly in pain. You pulled your hand away quickly, but he grabbed it back.
“I love you, Y/N. I just…got so jealous…”
“Never again. Okay? You better not do this again, cuz I dont like jealousy. Like, that kiss meant nothing. It was uncalled for, yes, but don’t do shit like that, please, cuz all youre gonna do is get yourself into trouble.”
Your boyfriend looked deep into your eyes and, deciding he couldn’t deal with the thought of someone else’s lips on yours, kissed you. His lips on yours were always comforting no matter what type of kiss it was - soft kisses were touching, rough kisses were hot, goofy kisses were adorable, and just….you loved his lips on yours.
Totally forgetting half of what just occurred, you melted into his touch as he laid you down on his bed; your hands never pulled away from each other.
A sweet kiss turned into a passionate kiss and a passionate kiss turned into a rough kiss, the both of you desperate and needy for each other’s love. Nick’s lips left yours, slowly moving down to your neck, biting and sucking a little bit to give you a couple hickeys. He was always fond of them, loving to give them and receive them and goddammit was he going to mark you up so fucking much.
“Oh my god—“ your breath hitched in your throat as he kissed one of the hickeys he had just given you. You felt a smirk against your skin; he was really proud of himself for his…artwork on your skin.
“I love you, god, I fucking love you…” He whispered when he pulled away from your neck, smiling at you softly.
“I love you too…” Your hand reaching up to cup his face, rubbing his rather sharp cheekbone. He was literally just so sexy.
Something crossed your mind: you and Nick hadn’t ever….gone all the way. Of course you’d made out with him many times, but…
“Nick, um,” You started getting really nervous. What if he laughed? What if he was like “ew”? What if—
“Babe, it’s alright, you can say whatever, really.”
“I wanna…possibly…um…actually never mind—“
“You wanna go a little further, right?” He smiled, thinking of the idea of whatever could possibly happen.
You nodded, a little embarrassed at how he could read you so well.
“Well…we’ve got all night and the guys are probably still partying and shit, so…”
And with that, he kissed you again, excited and nervous for what was to come (badumching, ah puns, what a great way to lighten the mood a little more). You kissed back, and well, let’s just say neither of you got any sleep. You guys were just having a little too much fun to even want to sleep.
Oh the lovebirds, ever so gorgeous and sweet. What could possibly happen next, you ask? Well….you’ll just have to see.
-------------
AGAIN PSA DONT DO SUBSTANCES PLEASE THEYRE BAD. also we got a little spicy at the end, it’s like one of my first times ever writing anything like that, so please dont hate me for how bad it is. ALSO FIGHT ??????

When did THIS happen!? - Nick Valensi x reader pt 7
It was easy to hide your relationship since you two acted so much like a couple when you weren’t, so hiding it? Easy as hell except…when it really wasn’t.
—————
“Yeah you should see Y/N and Nick! They’re always all over each other. It’s like they’re dating or something!” Julian ‘joked.’ He knew he had to keep the secret, but….he was so ecstatic for the pair that it seemed that with every chance he got to make some sort of comment, he’d make it. Needless to say, neither of you were too pleased, though sometimes it could be a little amusing almost like an inside joke. You all felt kinda bad for the rest of the bands not knowing, but at the same time…if it got out to the public, it could be really bad news. Nick was the heartthrob and part of their, well, fanbase was slightly obsessed with the man, so him having a girlfriend right in the middle of tour was a little bit…concerning. He didnt care much, but he knew Ryan - their manager - would care…just a bit.
“Ah, cmon man, we’re just friends who cuddle. We’ve done it before, so why can’t I do it with her?” Nick replied, basically asking Julian “why the double standard?”
“It’s because I know youre in love with me and I’m a little jealous.” The messy haired singer retorted. You all, being basically one big family were like brothers and sisters - BUT NOT YOU AND NICK CUZ THAT’D BE WEIRD EW - and everyone knew how to push each other’s buttons just a little bit to get a rise out of each other. It was fun for the most part, though sometimes someone could say something that could start a little bit of a fight between band members, but all in all, it was a good playful sort of friendship.
You rolled your eyes and smirked. The banter between the boys always somehow made you feel secondhand embarrassment at some of the things they said, but at the same time, it was really fucking amusing.
“What, you got a fucking crush on me?!”
“Yes. In fact I do, so c’mere and gimme some lips.”
You all laughed, but you and Nick were just a little tense at Julian’s initial remark about you two and dating. You and he tried to let it go though cuz no one suspected a thing…right…?
————-
It was night time when you moved to Nick’s bus bunk, sliding in next to him and wrapping your arms around his waist. You didnt know if he was awake or totally knocked out, but you said a soft “hey.” In return you got a whispered “hey” back. He rolled over to see his beautiful girlfriend in all of her sleep deprived glory.
“What’s up?” He asked, a little concerned.
“Couldn’t sleep. I haven’t been able to sleep recently, but like whenever I’m with you, it really helps.” You mumbled the last few words, a little embarrassed at your dependency on him to sleep. You weren’t like this before - sure, you were sleep deprived a lot - but with him..well..it seemed like you couldn’t sleep without his arms around you or your arms and leg wrapped around him like a koala hugging a tree; that was his personal favorite cuddling position. He just found it to be so adorable and he just could never resist you when you did it, totally melting at the way you’d cling onto him.
“C’mere love.” He pushed a piece of hair out of your eyes and then rest his (fucking huge) hand on your cheek, making you smile.
You immediately got into position, throwing one leg over his thigh and and an arm over his chest with him laying on his back. He wasn’t fond of sleeping on his back, but, yknow what?, anything for you.
“Get some sleep, seriously, tomorrow’s kinda a big day…” he kissed your forehead.
The two of you slept for the full rest of the night, cuddling.
—————
Until....
“Holy shit—“ Albert’s voice.
“Wait what?” Fab’s voice.
“When did this happen?” Nikolai’s voice.
The guys.
Oh fucking fuck.
You jumped out of Nick’s arms as quick as possible, totally forgetting you were wearing both his t-shirt and a pair of his boxers as sleep shorts. Questionable fashion choices, but hey, you were just sleeping in it, so I can’t totally blame you - plus, big shirts and boxers are comfy as HELL. He was shirtless, making the situation just slightly worse.
“Oh my god! It’s…we can explain! Ow!” Nick said, sitting up quickly and then banging his head on the ceiling of his bunk.
The guys held back a laugh as they watched their friends scramble to try to explain why exactly they were sleeping in the same bed, cuddling. You were the first to speak, gulping quite loudly before you began.
“Nick and I are kinda…”
“We’re kinda—“
Julian walked in and announced: “They’re seeing each other. How was it not obvious to you dumbasses. Sometimes I really think you all are like the Three Stooges or somethin” He laughed.
The lanky brunette and you looked at each other in disbelief. How the hell could Julian say that and just totally put it out in the open that Nick and you were dating. Asshole move, Julian, asshole move…
——————
It took some getting used to for the guys to accept the fact that two of their best friends were dating, but it seemed alright enough. Of course there was going to be total douchebag comments and jokes to Nick especially as he still was “one of the guys,” but to you they were quite nice as always (since they were your best friends, of course), though sometimes they would make a slight teasing comment. All in all, things were normal though. Thank fucking Jesus Christ almighty, can I get an amen up in here?
—————-
The next few days came and went with almost no problems until……
To be continued.
—————

The public eye - Nick Valensi x reader pt 9
“The Strokes’ Guitarist, Nick Valensi, Picks Fight With The Libertines’ Pete Doherty!” Nikolai read aloud to the band, sighing and pinching the bridge of his nose. Everyone shook their head in a “goddammit” sort of way, Nick being the most upset and embarrassed over his impulsive bad behavior. He barely remembered much of what happened, the only proof being the headlines, the pictures, and his very bruised knuckles.
“Fuck…why am I so stupid?!” Nick questioned out loud. Fab was about to respond, but Albert put a hand over his friend’s mouth as to not elevate the situation further. Fab always said it how it was, but right now was NOT the time.
Your head was in your boyfriend’s lap and, when he said that, you frowned at him. “It’s not fully your fault…he instigated it with kissing me—“
“Yeah, but I couldve literally done anything else but punch the guy..”
“Well, what’s done is done,” Albert began, “and now you - we - have to live with the consequences. Next time, Nick, maybe you should think a little. It’s not that hard. Like I get it dude, I really do, but like…you punched one of England’s favorite rockstars. How are you gonna get back it favor with the Brits?”
“I dont know. If I did know, I’d be doing it right now.” Nick looked down and frowned back at you. He really did a number on that guy and now he felt really horrible about it. BUT he still believed that it was all on Pete for kissing you…although he didn’t know that the guitarist and you were dating. BUT he was still gonna believe it was Pete’s fault.
Julian spoke up, “well…you better come up with something cuz - if not - we’re kinda fucked right now.”
Nick pursed his lips. This was gonna be hard.
——————
Your boyfriend thought long and hard about what to do, and the only option that seemed most fit was this….
“I dont think we should see each other anymore…”
You two were cuddling when he dropped that on you, mumbling it into your hair as you two were spooning with him as the big spoon (like always). Immediately you turned around.
“What do you mean ‘I dont think we should see each other anymore’? Just because of one fucking fight, youre gonna throw away our relationship?”
“I just dont want to fuck up your reputation. You’re now in the public eye and people are listening to your stuff and I dont wanna be what holds you back. I can deal with my reputation being fucked, but if I see yours getting that way too, I’ll never forgive myself.”
Truly hurt and angry, you got up from his bunk, mumbling a “fuck you, Nick Valensi.”
Already he was regretting what he did.
——————-
For the rest of the tour, you ignored Nick. It was an awkward last month with everyone feeling like they were walking on eggshells as to not upset you or him. Nick had gotten a bit out of control, partying and bringing random girls back to the bus, finding any way he could to get drugs, and not even showing up to soundchecks…and shows.
You stopped practicing and writing music; he was your muse and how could you write without your muse?
In other terms…the last leg of the tour was a mess and it was tiring for all of you. No one wanted to continue the tour.
——————
When you got back to New York, you avoided the guys as much as possible, even moving out of the apartment that you shared with Julian and Albert. You explained that it was “for the best” and that it would be a good idea if you “moved on.” They were heartbroken.
Nick kept getting more wild with his days and nights and everyone was getting more and more concerned by the moment, but it wasnt until the night when he left right in the middle of a show that everyone - including tabloids and fans - became truly worried. Yeah, everyone was a bit concerned, but him grabbing Julian’s mic and saying “fuck this” and walking off was just a whole new level of concerning. He took this band so seriously, but….now….the problems he had created had gotten truly out of hand.
You were always keeping a close eye on him from a distance and now you were scared. Really really scared.

oooooooh sheeeeeeeit. he done fucked up this time

Waking Up - Nick Valensi x reader pt 6
Waking up next to each other - in each other’s arms, to be exact - was comforting after a night of tension and anxiety. Nick woke up first, but you were soon to wake up after him due to his stirring and mumbling something about how he “felt awful” and “disgusting” and was asking himself “why am I like…wet…?” He barely had any recollection of the previous night. Thank God, but also not because that’s a huge problem, but in the moment you thought to yourself “thank fucking god.”
He pulled away from your arms, laying down on his side and facing you. A hand made it’s way to tuck a piece of your hair behind your ear, grazing your cheekbone. That’s 100% was woke you up, though the stirring didnt really help at all.
“Hey…” You both said at the same time and then smiled at the fact that the two of you said “hey” at the same time.
A few beats silence occurred, but none of it was awkward or tense or upsetting; it felt rather relaxing and very comfortable like there was nothing to be scared of between you and him.
“Hey Nick...?”
“Yep?”
“I need to say something and promise not to get too mad at me, okay…?” You were going to tell him. Here goes nothing. “I think…youre beautiful.”
He smiled again, replying to you with a “I think you are.”
Another quick pause.
“Can I…do something?” Nick asked politely, getting a little bit nervous about what he was going to ask. As soon as your head did one nod, his lips were on yours. It was a sweet kiss, nothing sexual or lusty like the first time you two kissed after the pub. This time it was like candy. You could not believe it and, of course, you kissed back. Long time crushes on both ends finally got to kiss each other whilst sober and without the idea of just “benefits”! Crazy! World shattering! Insane! Surprising! Shocking! Incredible!
Your minds were quiet during the kiss, with no fears, no anxiety, no wishes besides to kiss each other more - so, that’s what you two did. What felt like hours was only a couple of minutes and, dammit, those were the best minutes the two of you had ever spent probably ever. No doubt.
After pulling away, completely out of breath, the two of you smiled at each other again and laughed softly.
“You dont know how fucking long I have wanted that—“
“Me too…” You replied, totally shocked.
Both you and him stared at each other for about 5 minutes, soft smiles on the both of your faces. He looked gorgeous when he smiled, but you hadn’t seen a really genuine one from him since the tour started so you were honored to be the reason why he was smiling; it almost choked you up a little bit.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
“YO NICK! Y/N LET’S GO PARTAAAAAY!” It was Julian.
“Way to ruin the moment, dude! We’re a little busy here!” Nick yelled back to his friend.
“Woah woah woah! BUSY?!! You’re FINALLY??!!!?!? getting together!?? I gotta tell the guys—“
“NO YOU’RE NOT. THIS IS BETWEEN THE THREE OF US! WE DON’T WANT IT TO GET OUT! THAT’D BE A MESS FOR ALL OF US!”
Julian sighed. Of course you two weren’t gonna go public yet. Bummer.
———

The end has no end - Nick Valensi x reader pt 10
Getting back to playing shows was a bit difficult. It took you about 2 months to want to perform again, your first performance being at a small venue called The Black Cat. With just a piano, your acoustic guitar, and your voice, you made an absolutely stunning performance, making your comeback that much more successful. You tried to forget about Nick too, accepting what had happened, but you were still in love and what he was doing was scaring you.
Another great thing that happened was that you had repaired your relationship with the rest of the band and they had invited you to one of their shows at the Mercury Lounge which you had never been to, and although you were scared to see Nick, you wanted to come see your best friends perform your favorite songs. So…you went.
——————
You and the guys - minus Nick - walked into the backstage of the Mercury Lounge, sitting down on one of the couches and having a quick cigarette session before they went on. Obviously, it was going to be another night where the lanky guitarist was late to his own show…
“Y’know…Y/N, Nick still loves you. Like a lot. I dont care how many girls were bangs, he doesn’t love them. We’ve talked about it a number of times and every time we talk he tells me he loves you. I really want you guys to possibly yknow..work things out. ….Pretty please…?” Fab explained after blowing out some smoke.
You frowned. “Fab, I love you, but I dont wanna talk about this…it makes me sad..”
And next thing you all knew, the guys were being called to the stage, Nick making it at just the last minute. He ran up on stage, unaware that you were in the front of the crowd, cheering the guys on.
It was during “Hard to Explain” when he noticed you dancing and yelling along to the lyrics and his heart skipped a beat. Sure, it could’ve been the drugs making his heart leap, but he likened it to the fact that you were there in front of him, enjoying yourself.
He stopped playing and the rest of the band ended up stopping too, confused and very angry. Julian shot him a “what the fuck, man?!” glare, while Albert tried not to start yelling at his friend.
Nick walked over to Julian’s mic, everyone thinking he was going to pull the same stunt he did 2 months prior. Julian was about to lose it on him…possibly even kick him out of the band, but Nick walked over and grabbed the mic anyways.
He began. “There’s some things that cant really be repaired and I know that, but there’s someone here tonight that I love. I love her with my entire everything. Everything I do is for her. I’ve fucked up so much in the past I dont even know how long, but..seeing her here tonight has really fuckin got to me. Like…I know she probably won’t forgive me and I dont know if she still loves me or even likes me as a person, but…I want her to know that I love her and that I miss her. That’s it. That’s all I wanted to say.”
He walked off stage…again.
——————
The band and you ran backstage as quickly as possible to find Nick smoking a cigarette, smiling slightly.
“Hey…” He greeted you.
“H-hey…” You greeted him back.
The band, although fuming, kinda got the hint that you two needed to be alone, so they hurried past, opening the backstage door to hang out outside…and also eavesdrop on your conversation.
“Im sorry—“ The both of you started at the same time, making you smile slightly and laugh.
You walked over to the man on the couch and sat down on his lap, still smiling. “I missed you…a lot. You’ve been scaring me…a lot too.”
“I’ve been scaring myself, to be honest. …Listen, Y/N, I— youre like…youre everything I want. I’d give up all of this to be with you, though I’d definitely still like to have all of this so kinda forget what I said about giving it all up, but like…I want you to know that I love you. A lot. And that like…I need you in my life because you’re all I want, really.” He tucked a piece of hair that fell into your face behind your ear. You two were staring at each other so intently that it seemed almost like a staring contest.
A few moments passed and Nick thought he had said something wrong when all of a sudden you slammed your lips on his, mumbling a soft “I forgive you. I love you.” into his lips.
—————-
Outside, the guys were smoking and trying to listen in on your conversation.
“How big are the chances that theyre having sex in there?” Fab asked, laughing.
“High.” The other three men said in sync.
—————-
“Without you, I’m nothing.” Nick said as you both pulled away from each other’s lips.
“My beautiful muse…” You responded, rubbing his cheekbone with your thumb.
—————-
And just like that, you two were the dynamic duo you’d been like always…like none of this mess had ever happened. Like you two had never broken up because, to be honest, you two never really had, you just took a small break. He loved you. You loved him.
This was going to be a Romeo and Juliet story, but the two of you changed that path. Love really is something, isn’t it?
--------------
AAAAAAAAND DONE! expect more nick fics, but they won't be part of this series. Damn...I went all OVER the place with this one, but also....this was kinda awesome to write. Remember kids, love conquers all and PLEASE dont do drugs!
Love you all, thanks for reading.
