Nikki Sixx - Boredom and Exhaustion

It was 4:30pm. I was laying sprawled out on the couch waiting for my boyfriend, Nikki, to come home from his band rehearsal. I stared up at the ceiling and sighed. I was getting really bored.

Whilst randomly stretching, I caught a glimpse of my nails and an idea popped into my head. I should paint my nails again, I thought.

So, I got up and made my way to the bedroom I shared with my lover, in search of my nail polish. When I found it, I grabbed a bottle of black nail polish and a bottle of a pretty sunflower colored nail polish, and my way to the kitchen.

I sat down at the kitchen island. I grabbed a paper towel and set it under my hands so I wouldn't stain the marble countertop. I ended up not using the black color. I completely got lost in my own thoughts and I didn't even notice the front door opening.

"BOO!" I heard a voice yell right behind me, causing me to jump. I nearly fell off of the barstool I was sitting on. I spun my chair around and looked at the culprit.

"Jesus fucking Christ Nikki, don't do that!!" I screamed, breathing heavily. He laughed and smirked at me. Damn that smirk...

"Sorry baby, couldn't resist." Nikki said, pulling my trembling body into his chest. "Fuck, I didn't mean to scare you that bad." He said rather softly this time. "It's fine."

"What's that smell?" He asked, pulling away.

"It's nail polish." I said blankly, showing him my freshly painted nails.

"Pretty." Nikki grinned.

"How was your day at the studio?" I asked him, turning back around in my seat and finishing my nails.

"It was alright, really fucking long though. I was really out of it today." Nikki sighed. He sat down on the other side of the island, now across from me.

"Everything okay?"

"Yeah, m'just tired is all." He said. I believed him because he did look really fucking tired. I looked over at him. He was sitting with his head in his hand, looking like he was trying not to pass out from exhaustion.

"Stop it Sixx." I smirked.

"Stop what?" Nikki asked, confused as hell.

"Fucking stoppp."

"Please enlighten me, what am I doing?"

"Stop being so damn cute." I giggled.

"I'm just over here trying not to fall asleep, and you think I'm being cute?" Nikki said.

"Yeah, because you're adorable when you're tired." I grinned. "Whatever." Nikki's face turned a light shade of pink. He tilted his head down a little so he could hide behind his hair.

After a few moments of comfortable silence, another idea popped into my head.

"Nikki?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I paint your nails?" I asked, smiling shyly.

"Fuck no."

"Why not?"

"Because."

"Pretty please, Nik-Nak?" I gave him a pleading look.

"Babe please don't call me that, and I said no."

"Pleeease Nikki?" I whined, giving him puppy dog eyes.

"Ugh fine. Go ahead because I know I'm not gonna get out of this. Plus, I'm too tired to argue about it." He yawned.

"Yay!"

I grabbed my black nail polish and stood up, walking over to him. I put a paper towel under his hands, like I had done to mine, and started painting his nails. He just sighed and stared off into space while I did my thing.

"Are we done yet?" Nikki asked.

"Not yet."

I finished his right hand and then grabbed his left one.

"How about now?"

"Patience lover boy." I giggled.

Once I was finished, I closed the small bottle of nail polish and set it aside. I was pretty proud of the outcome, the black looked good on him.

"Done. Now don't touch anything, it has to dry."

"I can't even touch you?" Nikki asked, somehow sounding oh so innocent.

"Nope."

"That's not fair." He pouted.

"Life's not fair bucko." I smirked.

While I waited for his nails to dry, I got up and went to the bathroom. When I came back, Nikki was still sitting at the island, with his arms crossed and his head down. I walked over to him. "Nik?" I whispered. No answer. I shook my head, smiling. Poor Nikki had fallen asleep. He must've been really fucking exhausted, I wonder what they're doing to him at the studio. I grabbed his hand to make sure his nails were dry, which they were, and then I woke him up.

"Nikki wake up." I said softly, gently shaking him. He groaned in response.

"C'mon baby, let's go to bed."

"Let me sleep." He whined.

"Why don't you come sleep in your bed? You'll be a lot more comfortable." I chuckled.

"Fine." Nikki sighed, slowly picking his head up and looking at me.

"Aw is my little rockstar sleepy?" I smiled. Nikki nodded, too tired to even protest what I had called him.

"C'mon honey, let's get you to bed." I grabbed his hand and led him down the hall to our bedroom. When we got there, he peeled off his clothes and put on a pair of sweatpants before crawling under the covers.

"Come sleep with me." Nikki pleaded.

"I'm coming, don't worry." I giggled. I crawled in beside him. He pulled me close to him.

"Nikki?"

"Hmm?"

"I love you."

"I love you too." He whispered.

"Thanks for letting me paint your nails."

"Yeah, yeah." Nikki sighed.

I leaned up and kissed his lips. He deepened the kiss, causing me to hum with content. He frowned when I pulled away.

"Get some sleep pretty boy." I chuckled. "Gladly." Nikki yawned, closing his eyes.

"Goodnight Nikki."

"Goodnight." He mumbled. I traced the tattoos on his right shoulder until he fell asleep, which didn't take long. I fell asleep not long after.
