(nobody's POV)

Nick woke up to something wrapped around his chest, a warm presence surrounding him. Confused, he opened his eyes to realise it was Clay, his arms wrapped around Nick in a hug, with Nick's head on Clay's chest. Nick felt his face heating up.

(nick's POV)

How did- what? Last thing I knew I was falling asleep with my head on Clay's shoulder, which isn't much, but this- how? It feels.. comfy. I kind of feel safer. I don't know what this feeling is. I think I- I think I like Clay.

(nobody's POV)

"How the fuck is he not awake yet? It's literally 9:30 in the morning. Clay's always awake at like, 6." George asked, sitting on the couch with Alex and Karl. "Exactly, it's so weird. No matter what time he sleeps, he wakes up at 6 at the latest?" Karl sighed. "Should someone go check where he is?" George asked, looking over at the stairs. "I can?" Alex said. "Eh, sure. I'm not bothered to get up." Karl muttered. "Alright guys, be right back." Alex said before running upstairs.

"Hellooo? Clay are you awa-" Alex whispered before seeing Clay and Nick, their arms wrapped around each other, gently sleeping. "OHMYGODWHATTHE-" Alex whisper yelled under his breath, before gently closing the door. He quickly ran downstairs and whisper yelled. "GUYS OH MY GOD THEY'RE CUDDLING ITS ADORABLE-" "WHAT!?" Karl yelled. "BRO SHUT UP SHUT UP-" Alex whispered before slapping Karl. "SHOULD WE GO SEE?" George suggested. "YEAH YEAH LET'S GO!" Karl whispered, cracking up.

The three sneaked up the stairs, making sure to not make them creak. They gently opened the door to see.. nobody? George was the first to speak. "What? Where'd they g-" "Curiosity killed the cat." They heard a deep voice say behind them. "AH!" Karl shrieked. Everyone turned around to see Clay towering behind them. 

"O-Oh Clay! We were just looking for yo-you. Aha-a?" Alex stuttered, a terrified smile on his face. "Guys, fuck off. I swear there's nothing between me and Nick. We're just friends, y'know?" Clay laughed, a grin on his face. "But what about the-" Alex hesitated before being cut off by Clay, who leaned down and whispered in Alex's ear. "If you mention that ever, I swear to God I will get Techno to slit your throat." Clay whispered, his smile dropping. "Now just, chill out. We're friends and only friends. Alright?" Karl snickered and said "You sure about th-" "Techno." Clay stared Karl in the eye, his silence speaking more than his words, his piercing green eyes staring right through Karl. "Alright whatever, I'm making breakfast since I know you guys don't know how to make shit. Nick's in the shower. He'll be done soon. Now go downstairs." Clay sighed, looking over at Alex and mouthing "You saw nothing." before walking off. 

"Alright guys, eat up!" Clay smiled, serving the other three bacon and eggs. "This is really good! Thanks!" George said, being appreciative. "You're welcome!" Clay smiled. "Oh- hold on, gotta go grab something, be right back." Clay walked off and went upstairs.

He walked into his room to see Nick sitting on his bed, looking at his phone. He quickly looked up and smiled. "Oh, hi!" "Hey! are you gonna come downstairs? I made breakfast!" Clay asked, sitting down next to Nick, "Ehh, soon. It's nice up here!" Nick laughed, looking down at his phone again. "I'll give you a piggyback if you come down?" Clay laughed, half-joking. "Mm, sure!" Nick laughed, putting his phone in his pocket and getting up. He jumped onto Clay's back, saying "Let's go!" while laughing.

As soon as he got into the kitchen, Karl instantly laughed. "Oooh~ someone's getting a piggyback from their boyf-" Karl got cut off from getting a threatening stare from Clay, who was mouthing "Techno.". "Whatever, let's just eat. Nick, your plate's already there. It's still hot." Clay smiled, Nick hopping off his back.

After they all ate, George ran up to Nick, who was going upstairs. "Hey, what was the thing with you and Clay this morning? Y'know, the- thing." George asked. "I mean, it's nothing. There's nothing between us. We're just friends, y'know?" Nick said. "God, I've heard that one before." George murmured under his breath. "Yeah I understand, you guys just seem- closer than that." He said, looking over at Nick. "Eh, kinda. Alex told me too though, he swears on his life that there's something between us. But there isn't. At least, I don't think there is." Nick sighed. "Like he isn't my boyfriend." "YET!" Nick and George heard Karl yell from behind them, followed by laughing from both Karl and Alex. "Jesus. I swear I'm one more fucking Alex joke away from snapping. I don't like Clay in that way!" Nick said, an annoyed look on his face. "Eh, you'll have to get used to it. Alex'll be like this till he's dead." George sighed, looking over at Karl and Alex, who were now racing up the stairs. "Yeah, I guess so. That won't stop me from punching Alex though.." Nick murmured, opening the door to Clay's room, seeing Clay sitting down on his phone.

"Oh! Hey!" Clay smiled, looking over at Nick, who was still angry. "What's the matter?" He said, turning to Nick's bed, where Nick sat down. "I'm on the verge of punching the shit out of Alex." Nick sighed, laying down and picking up his phone. "Aren't we all?" Clay laughed. "Oh you weren't joking." "Not at all. He keeps saying we should kiss, and how we're not dating 'yet'. He's even sworn on his life that there's something between us. It's just so fucking annoying." Nick muttered. "Yeah, like it was funny at first but now I think they're dead serious. I swear any day now they're gonna like, set us up on a date or force us to kiss. It's gone overboard." Clay sighed, looking over at Nick, who was looking down. "I mean, we can both agree that we're just friends. Right?" "Yeah." Nick sighed. "At least, I think so." He muttered under his breath, laying down and sighing.

"Oh and also, the others were thinking of rehearsing that one song we did, the one with your guitar solo. Wanna join?" Clay asked, looking over and smiling. "Oh, sure. But can we do it later? It'll give me time to cool down. If we do it now, I'm worried I'd actually beat the shit out of Alex if he said anything about 'us'." Nick laughed, still looking down at his phone. "Oh- yeah sure. I mean I'm kind of tired anyways." Clay said, yawning. "That's alright. If you wanna sleep just tell me. It's not a problem." Nick smiled, looking over to Clay, who was already looking at him, making Clay's face turn red. "Well- well maybe." Clay stuttered, blushing over Nick's smile, which felt like a warm hug without even making contact with him. Nick let out a small laugh and looked down. "Alright, well if you need me, I'm here for you. Always." "Thanks. You're really-" Clay said before stopping himself from saying something dumb. "-amazing. You're really amazing." Clay mumbled, shoving his face into his pillow to avoid Nick seeing how red he was. "Oh- I, uh-" Nick felt his face heating up as much as Clay's did. "No- no problem." He said, a gentle smile on his face. Clay's face slowly returned to a normal shade, and he started falling asleep. Nick looked over to see Clay 'asleep', and smiled.

"Sleep well, I love you."
