One Messy Love Triangle

2 - Start Of A New Semester

A/N - Just so everything is clear and makes sense, Nick is 19 and in his first year of college. You are in your second year, Clay didn't go at all, and George is in his third year. You and George met in a mixed class for Psych 101. Hope that helps. 

____________________________________________

Last year, I was so fucking bored. Clay went MIA, I hadn't met George or Nick, AND my classes were boring as hell. So when the new year started, I didn't have the most positive look on things. But then, Clay reappeared (he was doing some dumb speed running thing), I clicked with George in my class, and I gained a roommate. 

Today was the last day of the first semester this year, and I surprisingly was passing all of classes. I had George to thank for that. Without him, I would be failing at least 2 of my them. I go to text him and see if we could meet up later tonight so I can thank him. As I was pulling my phone out, I feel it buzz in my hand. Clay was calling.

--Phone call--

Y/N: Hello?

Clay: Hey Kid!!! Today is the last day of the semester!!! How did you do????

Y/N: I- I was just about to call George about that.

Clay: Oh? That's sweet...

Y/N: You okay? Why do you sound upset?

Clay: Nothing. I just wanted to know first, that's all

Y/N: Well, I passed all of my classes so far. There are still a few more grades that some teachers need to put in but I'm not worried. 

Clay: Well, that's amazing. I'm proud of you kid!

Y/N: Thanks. I do have to call George though, so can I text you later?

Clay: Of course you can! But just FYI, George is streaming right now.

Y/N: Even better, I will just walk in and surprise him them.

Clay: That's not what I- Okay, have fun. Don't forget to text. 

Y/N: I won't! Bye Dork!

Clay: Bye Kid!

--End Phone Call--

Clay and I always have nicknames with each other. Went from dummy to nerd to squirt to now kid. I don't know why kid was the one that stuck but it did. I constantly called Clay dork, that's all. Nothing to special. 

After I collected my thoughts, I made my way to Georges dorm room. We gave each other out spare keys just in case anything happens and we needed to get to each other. 

I unlocked the door and stepped inside. I noticed how quiet it was. Normally when George streams, it's very loud. Because it is his third year at the college, his room is divided in half. The first half being his normal living space, while the other half is for his recording things. 

I looked at his desk with the monitor and saw that he wasn't in his chair. I then made my way to his bed and saw him plopped down fast asleep. Why would Clay tell me he is streaming if he wasn't? Weird. But weird is normal for Clay.

I slowly put down my things and take off my shoes. George always let me chill in his dorm if I needed to get away from Nick, even if George wasn't home. I walked up to the side of the bed. A nap sounded fantastic. I crawled into the bed trying not to wake the sleeping George. I rested my head on the pillow and quickly began to fall asleep. 

...............

I woke up to an arm wrapped around my waist. I realized that George had flipped over in his sleep and started to cuddle me. Since it was just sweet ole George I didn't mind. I lifted my free arm and started to scratch his arm as reassurance. That's when George started to finally wake up. 

George: Y/N? What are you doing here? In my bed?

I tried to wiggle my way out of his arm so i could face him while I talked, but his grip got stronger.

George: I just asked a question. I didn't say you had to leave.

Y/N: I was going to call you, but Clay said you were streaming. So I wanted to come surprise you. But you were asleep, obviously. 

George: Why would he tell you that I was streaming? As soon as class ended I hopped in bed. That also doesn't explain why you are in my bed.

Y/N: You looked so peaceful and a nap sounded amazing. So I hopped in with you. I didn't think you would care. 

George: I don't. just wanted to know how we got in this position.

I reach over to check my phone and see what the time was.

Y/N: George!!!

George: Y/N!!!!!

Y/N: We slept for four hours!!!!

George: The problem?

Y/N: I was supposed to text Clay, and I needed to help Nick with some renovations of our room.

George: Fuck them. Cuddles are better.

Y/N: I- I can't argue, but I have to go. I'm sorry.

George: Well stop by and nap with me more often. It's nice to share a bed.

Y/N: You got it!

I grabbed my shit and walked out of the door. It only took me a few steps and a flight of stairs before I arrived at my own room. I walked into the door and saw Nick sitting at our kitchen Island eating alone. I got to speak first but he cuts me off. 

Nick: Where were you?

Y/N: With George.

Nick: FOR FOUR FUCKING HOURS?! YOU COULDN'T HAVE SENT ME A QUICK TEXT SAYING YOU WERE GONNA BE LATE!?

Y/N: I'm sorry. I feel asleep.

Nick: WITH GEORGE! THAT MAKES IT WORSE!

Y/N: How does it make it worse?

He pauses for a second.

Nick: It doesn't. Forget it. You are here now. Come help me move the couch. 

Y/N: Okay.

I guess Clay can wait until tomorrow.

Nick: Oh by the way. Clay thought you died. So you might want to text him or something.

Y/N: Thanks, I will.

I guess he's not waiting until tomorrow. I pull out my phone and called Clay. I was not ready for his reaction.

Clay: Are you okay?!

His voice sounded shakey and upset.

Y/N: Were you crying?

Clay: You didn't answer my question.

Y/N: Yes. I am perfectly fine. I can handle myself for a day. You don't have to worry.

Clay: Why wouldn't I worry?

Y/N: Because you aren't my father. Plus I was with George, who wasn't streaming by the way.

Before I heard anything back, Clay ended the call. What is wrong with him. Can't he trust me to be with someone for a little. Sheesh. Now I have to deal with an angry Nick. George is the only sane one today.
