In the Gang (Sapnap x reader)

just the two of us (2)

You go to sleep, feeling warm after telling Alex about your growing crush on Nick. Sure telling Clay about it helped, but Alex was your best friend and it felt great to know he supported you. That didn't stop you from worrying about how your feelings would affect the group. George had Clay and Karl had that girl he was slowly getting close to from the candle store. Alex didn't really have anyone but he was too busy for that anyways. You didn't want to change the dynamic of the gang, but you're in love with Nick, you can't change that.

You wake up to Alex shaking you violently.

"What do you want prick?"

He laughs at your word choice, moving to sit on the chair in the corner of your room.

"Get dressed, we're gonna be late"

You rub your eyes, searching your brain for what he's talking about. You can't think of anything and Alex can see your confusion.

"It's a surprise dumbass. Just dress warm, it's windy today"

With that, he leaves the room. Your brain roles over the possibilities. It was so unlike Alex to surprise you. After about ten minutes of thinking while getting dressed, you finally give up, having no idea what the surprise could possibly be. You walk over to the mirror, chuckling at your messy appearance. Since you haven't been leaving the house as often recently, you've lost your sense of style. At this point, you don't really care. Who's going to see you anyways?

You walk into the kitchen and see MacDonald's bags sitting on the counter. Alex knew the hotcakes were your favourite. You look at him suspiciously, it's odd for him to be this nice to you. He just shrugs, pushing the bag towards you.

"Alex, why are you being so weird. Did you get abducted this time?"

You giggle, imitating the poking he'd done days before. He just laughs, and gets up without saying a word. He really was acting weird. You start to feel a bit uncomfortable, something has to be up.

You finish your breakfast and he signals for you to head to the car. You give him a confused look but go to the car anyways. You drop your bag in the back seat and push the button for the seat warmer. Alex wasn't lying when he said it was cold.

"So are you gonna tell me where we're going?"

He looks at you and sighs, both hands on the wheel.

"Fine, you're making me feel bad. We're going to the forest. You've been begging me to hike with you and I found out today is when the trail is the least crowded."

"No way! I've literally been begging you forever. But wait..."

You trail off. Why did he suddenly decide to hike with you after refusing to for months. Is he trying to cheer you up for bad news?

"What? A guy can't be nice to his best friend?"

You laugh, maybe it's better not to think about it. Best friends have to balance the teasing with nice deeds at some point. You look out the window, smiling as the roads become less cared for and the trees become thicker. The wind was pushing the branches of the trees gracefully, it was like nature was slowly dancing with the sky. There was always something about the sky that brought you in. It was so effortlessly beautiful, no matter when you look at it. There was also the beauty of knowing we all look at the same sky. Seeing the clouds flow by softly with the quick wind was hypnotizing, they looked so warm and comforting.

"Earth to nimrod, we're here"

He waves his hand across your face and you look out the front of the car, seeing the entrance to the trail. He looks at you, smirking, hand on the door.
