Why am I like this..? [Nick Nelson x Male Reader]

CHAPTER 5

Bryce's mon rushes to him, pulling him to her chest while he cries, trying her best to calm him down before she asks him any questions.

Once Bryce is fully calmed down, his mom finally asks, "Bryce, what happened? What do you mean you ruined everything?"

Bryce takes a few deep breaths before explaining, "I was hanging out with Nick and the longer I did, I started to get this weird feeling when I was around him.. It was like, everytime I looked at hum, or even when he is just talking about something he is proud of, or something he really likes, it seems like there was no one else in the world, like he was the last person on earth, a-and, I just- I started questioning my sexuality.. So I asked him if he has ever felt that way and when he said he did... I asked if he ever wanted to experiment, to see if what he was thinking was true, and once again, he said yes. I messed up if he ever wanted to experiment with me, he said yes, we kissed, and I just feel like I just ruined our whole friendship..." he finishes with a few tears sliding down his cheeks.

His mom frowns, "Bryce-" He interrupts her by saying he was just going to go to bed while walking upstairs, his mom stands at the bottom of the stairs watching him, she takes a deep breath and says "Bryce, he loves you. I can see it. There is no doubt in my mind about it. Try talking to him about it tomorrow. You know instead of just shutting him out and ignoring him."

Bryce smiles softly and closes the door, changing into pajamas before climbing into his bed, hoping that when he wakes up from this sleep that it was all just one big nightmare. Like, yeah he is happy about the fact he was able to actually act on his emotions and kiss Nick, but the feeling of guilt is eating him alive even though he has nothing to be guilty for. He just doesn't want it all to be true...

When Bryce wakes up the next morning, he goes downstairs and sits at the table, watching as his mom makes breakfast. "Good morning, hun! Are you going to talk to Nick today?" She says, breaking the silence. 'Crap so it wasn't a dream... what am i going to do?!' He thinks before putting on a fake smile, "yeah! I'm going over there today. When I'm ready to talk to him."

His mom smiles and nods at him, "Okay, hun. Now finish your dinners and go upstairs and brush your teeth. Morning breath." She jokes. Bryce smiles and eats his breakfast, putting away his plate before going upstairs to shower.

When he got out the shower, he decided he wanted to watch a movie. As he is searching for a movie he sees the one he and Nick had watched together. He clicks on it and watches it.

Halfway through the movie there's a knock at the door, "Bryce, could you get that please?!" His mom yells from her room. He yells back a "yeah!" Before going downstairs and opening the door.

It was Nick.. what is he doing here..? "Nick?" Bryce asks, kinda scared of what he's going to say. "Hey.." Nick replies, breathing heavily, as if he ran here. Bryce immediately notices that it is pouring outside so he pulls Nick inside.

"Come on, let's go up to my room so you can get some dry clothes." Bryce says before he and Nick go to his room. Bryce hands Nick one of his hoodies and a pair of sweatpants. "Here. This should warm you up." He smiles, hoping Nick can't tell it's fake.

Nick changes in the bathroom and walks out when he is done. Bryce looks at him and chuckles, the hoodie was down to his thighs. Nick blushes, "shut up." He says.

Bryce, frowning a little, sits up on his bed, looking over at Nick.

"I'm sorry for yesterday. I shouldn't have kissed you. I know you probably felt pressured to do it cause I brought it up..."

"Bryce." Nick says.

"But you could have just pushed me away and told me to leave but you didn't.."

"Bryce!" Nick says, walking closer.

"I just want to say that we can forget it happened. It was a mistake for me to kiss you. I just hope that we can still be friends after it.. I- I just-" Bryce continues, standing up, looking right at Nick.

"BRYCE!" Nick exclaimes, grabbing Bryce's face in his hands, Bryce stops talking and looks at him. "Its okay. I... I liked it.."
