12 PM
Fuck me.
Nick wakes up with a pounding headache, and a very sore back. He picks up his head from the hard surface he was laying on and slowing begins to register where he was. Golden Pastries. He softly groans as he stretches out his tense muscles. He nearly jumps when he hears her voice.
"Hey Nick," Y/N appears with a steaming mug in her hands, and a soft smile. He smiles back sadly, remember the events that ensued before he ran into her again. If he was being honest, he couldn't remember anything after her hugging him. She gently sets down the cup, revealing that it was a warm tea, and sits down beside him. She pull out his phone and places it on the table as well. "I hope you don't mind, I wanted to call your friends to tell them you were with me, just in case. I charged it, and messaged them," She lets out a soft sigh. "They were really worried Nick."
"Yeah, I bet." He blows cool air on the hot tea, and takes a small sip. Letting the warm liquid warm up his chest and relax him. "How did I get here?"
"After, I hugged you, we stood there a good while. Then I asked if you wanted to go home, I was gonna walk you home if you said yes, but you said something about 'not wanting to upset your friends.' So I brought you here. We sat down and you passed out at the table."
Nick's face heat up with embarrassment. "Fuck, dude I'm so sorry. I don't kn-"
She places her hand on his arm. "Hey hey, it's okay. Seriously, I had to come here anyway. I had some things I needed to do." He looks down at his drink. "Do you want to talk about it?"
Yes I do.
"Not really. I've just been going through something for a while." He takes another sip. "I really don't know what was going through my head last night."
TW!!
"Clearly something was going on." She grabs one of his hands and holds it gently, with his palm facing up. Showing the damage that was done last night. Without realizing, He had squeezed so hard, that dried blood was now staining his hands. Quickly, he pulls out his other hand. Small crescent shaped dents showered his palm, but no blood.
Did I really do this?
Nick was too lost in his thoughts to even realize that the baker had left her seat and returned with a wet cloth, and some bandages. Her voice pulls brings him back, "This might hurt okay?" He nods mindlessly, letting her take care of him. The cloth on his cuts burns slightly, but not enough to complain. She places band aids on his various cuts.
thats all friends, u may continue reading <3
She laughs softly, "I'm sorry these are the only band aids I have." Hello Kitty band aids. The bright pink band aids make him laugh too. He didn't mind the band aids, he didn't mind at all.
A buzzing noise pulls the pair out of their comfortable silence.
Incoming Call From
green boy
Nick hesitates to answer, scared of the lecture that he might receive. Or maybe, more scared of the pity Dream would give him.
"Do you want me to answer?" He nods sheepishly, but he was grateful that she understood, and didn't coddle him for it.
She answers. "Hey Clay, heh yeah he's still here, he didn't run away." She shoots Nick a reassuring look.
"Oh, is he still sleeping? Let me check." Nick nods his head vigorously. He didn't want to go home just yet. Despite being insanely sore and tired from getting very little sleep, and from sleeping on top of a table no less, he liked the atmosphere here in the quiet bakery. He didn't want to leave quite yet.
She smiles at him, "Yes he is. Yeah he is dead asleep." She pauses to listen to what Dream has to say. "No no, please. I really don't mind. I'll let you know when he wakes up." She ends the call and places the phone on the table.
"Thank you, I really appreciate it." She gives him another signature kind smile.
"No worries Nicky. Your always welcomes to nap on my tables." She jokes.
Nick groans, but a playful smile forms on his face. "You know I hated that nickname."
Bubbly giggles erupt from the bakers mouth as she stands up, "Yeah I know. That's why I love it!" She teases him by ruffling the brunettes hair. "I'm going to the kitchen, wanna come with? Or take another nap?" She asked genuinely. Nick weighs his options, and ultimately decides to stick with the baker and join her in the kitchen.
She leads the way in to the small area, the 3 of the four walls were white, while one wall was a light grey. There was one big table in the middle of the room, where Y/N had three plain cakes ready for decorating.
"What is all of this?"
"Birthday cakes! I get special orders, so on the days that the bakery is closed I work on the orders." She points at one of the cakes. "This one is for a kid named Liam, he's turning four and he specifically asked for dinosaurs." A bright smile forms on her face, thinking of her loyal customers.
"I want a dinosaur cake for my birthday." Nick giggles, Y/N shoots him a playful glare before turning to get her decorating supplies.
"Your birthday already passed Nick, but I'll keep that in mind."
"You remembered my birthday?"
"Of course I did idiot. I'm not fucking Dory."
***
The old best friends spend 3 hours in the kitchen laughing and telling stories. Eventually, Y/N had finished her cakes and cleaned up the area.
Nick embraces the girl, his voice cracks. "Thank you so much, for everything."
"I love you Nick, I'm always here for you." She smiles into his shirt.
I love you?
