Nicky×Rod One Shots (Avenue Q Characters)

The Amnesia

"Nicky! Please! I don't want to go on," Rod pleaded as Nicky was pulling on his arm, trying to get him to go on the roller coaster. "Aww come on Rod! It'll be fun." Rod finally freed his arm from Nicky's. "Falling off a roller coaster and getting yourself killed is NOT fun!"
"Don't be a baby! Please Rod! I want you to have fun for once! Please!" Rod looks up at how high the roller coaster went, and he felt something squirming in his stomach. But then he looks at Nicky and he couldn't resist his pleading face. "Fine! But if I die, make sure I get a big tombstone!" "That's the spirit... sort of!"
They got on the ride and they buckled their seatbelt. Nicky could tell Rod was nervous. He was holding his hand and had a very strong grip. "Um.... Rod? Your kinda crushing my hand." Rod looked down and relized what he was doing. He let go and blushed a little. "Sorry! I'm just...". Rod began to shake and was hyperventilating. "Rod! Calm down! I'll be with you the hold time!" And then Nicky held Rod's hand. "Trust me, buddy! Please!"
All of a sudden, Rod calmed down a bit and let out a deep breath. "You're right! I'll be fine! Thank you, Nicky!" They both looked away from eachother, blushing. And then the roller coaster began to move slowly.
"Oh god... this is happening!" Rod said. "We'll be fine! I promise!" Nicky reassured him. The roller coaster reached all the way to the top and then stopped. "Alright! Here it comes! Any second now, we'll be going down! Super fast! And you'll have fun!" Rod began to smile. "You're right... I can do this. I CAN DO THIS!! YES!!!" And that's when the roller coaster went down and Rod went flying out of his seat.
It all happened so fast. Nicky was terrified to hell. Not of the roller coaster, but of Rod flying out of his seat. Rod was airborne and screaming his head off. While in the air, Rod bumped his head into a tree and it knocked him out. And then about a hundred people saw him falling. They all tried to catch him and one of them succeeded.
Once he was finally able to get off the ride, Nicky went running to the hero who caught his best friend. It was Kate Monster! "KATE!!! HOLY SHIT!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I THOUGHT I LOST HIM!!! HOW CAN I EVER REPAY YOU?!!!" Kate smiled. "It's not a problem! I'm glad I could help. But you need to take Rod to the hospital! He isn't waking up!"
She puts Rod down on a bench and Nicky attempts to shake him. He still doesn't wake up. But he didn't seem to be dead. "ROD!!! You're right, Kate! I need to get him there now!"
At the hospital, Nicky and Kate were waiting in the lobby, waiting for the doctor to come and tell them that Rod would be okay. "This is all my fault," Nicky said, tearing up. "I should've never forced him to go on that damn ride. I promised him that everything would be okay and looked what happened!" Kate tries to calm him down. "Nicky... this isn't your fault. Life is unpredictable. No one can see these things coming! Rod will be fine!" And that's when the doctor came in with some news. "Kate? Nicky? Rod has wolken up and if you'd like, you can go see him now!"
They rushed into the room, and it killed Nicky inside to see Rod in a hospital bed. "ROD!!!" He yelled, tears now running down his face. He went to go hug him and said, "Rod... you're okay!" After about 5 minutes, he let go and looked at his face. Rod seemed confused. "Rod... is everything okay?" Kate asked.
"Um... hi!" Rod finally said. "Who are you two?" "Heh. Um... Rod?" Nicky said. "Who's Rod?" Rod tilted his head in confusion. "Rod... it me! Nicky!" Nicky didn't know what was going on. "It's nice to meet you Nicky!" "What do you mean 'nice to meet me'? Come on buddy! It's me!" Rod still looked confused. "Yes! It's nice to meet you! And you too, miss!" He looks at Kate, who knew EXACTLY what was going on. And that's when Nicky began to get worried.
"KATE!! HER NAME IS KATE!! AND MY NAME IS NICKY!!! I'M YOUR BEST FRIEND!!!" Nicky said, panicking. "Best friend? But I don't have any friends," Rod said. Nicky began to know what was happening, but continued to be in denial. "SHUT UP, ROD!!! STOP MESSING WITH ME!!! I'M NICKY!!! YOUR BEST FRIEND!!! AND YOU'RE ROD!!! I KNOW YOU REMEMBER ME!!! STOP MESSING WITH ME!!! PLEASE!!!" Rod was starting to get scared.
Kate pulled Nicky away from Rod. "Nicky... calm down." "CALM DOWN?!! HOW CAN I WHEN MY BEST FRIEND IS SCARING ME AND PRETENDING NOT TO REMEMBER ME!!!" Nicky yelled, now sobbing. "Nicky... please. Face the truth. I don't think Rod is pretending. I think he really doesn't remember anything."
Nicky looks at Rod. Rod waves at him happily, still confused on what was going on. Nicky looks back at Kate. He falls to the ground, sobbing even harder. Rod had lost his memory when he bumped his head on the tree. He had full blown amnesia!
The doctor's didn't know what more to do. "I'm sorry, sir. We've done everything we could," the doctor tells Nicky. "We think that he needs to go home. Who knows? Maybe his memory will come back!" Nicky doubted it, but he didn't know what else to do. Kate had already went home, and he didn't want to leave Rod behind.
While driving Rod to their apartment, Nicky noticed that Rod looked a bit worried. "Um... Nicky? Right? Where are you taking me?" Nicky stops the car in front of the apartment building. "Look... I know you don't remember anything... but we live together in an apartment. This is where we live!" Rod looks up at Nicky. "So... are we married?" Nicky holds his heart and wonders if he should say yes. But he doesn't. "No. Like I said, we're best friends!" Rod looks back down. "Darn! That's a shame! Because your very cute!" Nicky was beginning to tear up once again.
"Alright! Lets go inside!" He grabs Rod's hand and Rod says, "Wait! How do I know this isn't a trick?!" "It's not a trick! Now come on!" Rod pulls away. "I'm not going in! I don't trust you!" Nicky tries to grab him, but he takes off running.
"ROD!!! COME BACK!!!"
He chases Rod for about ten minutes. "ROD!! PLESE STOP RUNNING YOU'RE GONNA TRIP AND THEN--". That's when Rod trips over a stick and falls, banging his head into a car. "ROD!!! NO!!!" Nicky screamed, catching up to him. He shakes Rod and Rod wakes up. "Huh? Nicky? Is the ride already over?" "OH THANK GOD YOU'RE OKAY!!! YOU HAD TRIPPED AND THEN-- wait. What did you say?" Rod stood up. "I asked if the ride is over, Nicky! I just want to go home!" Nicky couldn't believe it. "Wait? YOU REMEMBER ME?!!" Rod looked at him weirdly. "What are you talking about? Look, it's late, alright? Now let's just get back to the apartment!" Nicky bursts out crying tears of joy. "ROD!!! YOU'RE BACK!!! YAY!!!" He says before kissing Rod.
"Nicholas...," Rod said. "Fuck! I'm so sorry--" "If you wanted to kiss me, you should've told me!" They both laughed and blushed and once they finished making out, they went home.
