~6~ curfew

I roll my cart full of groceries down the aisle. I glance over the different products, not remembering what brand I usually get.

"Taegan?" I hear someone say behind me.

I turn to see Nick walking down the aisle. "Hey, what are you doing here?"

"You know.. Just shopping for.." he glances at the products in front of him.

"For tampons?"

He shakes his head. "No, um, I saw you go down this aisle and I wanted to say hi."

I laugh. "Wow, I have my first stalker."

"Stalker? I am not a stalker," Nick shakes his head.

"It's okay," I reassure him, "I feel honored that you would follow me down the lady product aisle."

"I-" he gives me a stink eye, "I wish I left you alone."

"Me too," I joke, "Nah, it's okay. What are your plans today?"

"Uh, I'm just picking something up for Dream, but other than that, nothing really."

"Me neither," I fake pout, "Gosh, aren't we boring?" I mean, the highlight of my day will probably be living it up with the super-plus tampons.

"We could hang out," Nick suggests with a shrug.

"That'd be fun," I nod, "Want to watch a movie at my place?"

"Sure,"

I give him my address and we meet at my small house. He gets there a few minutes after me, so I rapid clean my house.

He knocks on the door. I guess this is going to be as clean as it gets. Is it spotless when he gets here? Absolutely not. Is there not trash all over the floor? Not as much.

"Hi," I say as I swing the door open, "Come on in."

He chuckles, "That was so, like, spastic."

"Yeah, I may have had an energy drink," I shrug.

We plop down on the couch and shuffle through the movies. We decide to watch Criminal minds instead.

"Now, we're commited to being friends," I tell him as I click play, "We're stuck until this series is over."

"You know," he shrugs, "I think I can handle that."

We watch a couple episodes together. I get up to grab us some waters after a little bit. Nick is snapping people when I get back. A picture of Karl flashes on the screen.

"Tell my brother I said hello," I say as I sit down.

"Want to say it yourself?" he moves the camera to me.

I sit there with a stone cold expression and flip Karl off. Nick chuckles before saving the picture.

"Shall we continue?" I ask.

"Yes we shall," he says before pressing play for us.

We don't get very far into the episode until he gets a call from Dream.

"Where are you?" Dream asks. I can hear it very faintly next to me.

"Uhh," Sapnap looks around the room before looking at me, "Taegan's house."

"WHAT?" I hear very distinctively.

Nick chuckles. "Um, yeah, we're watching Criminal Minds."

"I'm telling Karl."

"Don't you dare!" I say into the phone.

"Doesn't he already know?" Nick whispers.

I shrug. "Dream doesn't know that."

Nick nods in understandment, "Yeah Dream," he says louder, "We don't want him knowing."

"You can keep our little secret, right?" I ask innocently.

Dream scoffs a little bit. "Whatever, it might slip though."

"That's fine," Nick chuckles, "What did you want?"

"Just to know where you were," Dream says, "Actually, are you going to eat-"

"BYE DREAM" I interrupt before hitting the end call on Nick's phone.

"You can eat here," I tell him, "we can order Chinese or something."

"Sounds good," he nods in agreement, "You know Dream thinks somethings going on now, right, and he won't be able to keep that secret?"

I smile. "Who do you think he'll tell first?"

"George for sure," Sapnap laughs, "then from there it will spiral out of control."

"George seems like the type who can't keep a secret."

"That's because he can't," Nick chuckles.

We end up watching almost the entire first season today. We ordered Chinese for dinner to eat as we watched. It was almost ten when Dream called again. Nick decided to leave after that to get home.

"I love having a curfew," Sapnap rolls his eyes as he head out the door.

"It's alright, you're about to break it if it's 10pm," I check my phone for the time, "Think you can get home in one minute?"

"Guess I'm a rebel tonight," he laughs, "Alright, I am going to go, though. I had a lot of fun."

"Me too," I smile, "we should do it again sometime."

He smiles. "It's a deal,"

He looks like he wants to say more, but settles for a quiet goodnight.

Make that three times this week I stayed up later because of the feral boys.

~author's note~ 

i'm going to try to make the amount of times she hangs out with each people equal but it might be more biased towards some because they live in different places and one of them is a faceless idiot

maybe george will just move to america so dream can face reveal to taegan lol

anywayss have an amazing day!
