Note from the author: I'm gifting this episode to my only and loyal readers, Lola and Lydia, bc I feel low and I need to read some good comments, thanks love you guys🫶

Everyone went to their rooms as soon as we arrived home, it was really late.

I couldn't sleep, I was too anxious, so I texted Nick asking if he was awake, he was.

I texted "Do you want to come over?" and he answered "omw"

I answered "Come in" to a quadruple knock on my bedroom door, even tho I was waiting for him, he knocked.

"You alright?" he asked, sitting beside me on the bed. "Yeah, I just, I had a great time tonight, I just always wonder how things would've gone if something was different" I said as he laid down looking at me, but I was just looking at the roof.

"What could've been different?" "Well, my initial idea was to invite you so we could have some alone time, you know? I mean, not like that, just like, I don't know, that doesn't make sense, sorry" I said turning around to look the other way, he was still facing my side.

 "We spend a lot of time alone the two of us tho, don't we?" he said. "I mean, I wouldn't mind going on a date with you" he continued, but I interrupted, "It wouldn't be a date tho" I said, kinda harshly.

"Oh," I heard. "No, sure, I didn't mean to say that" "Yeah," I said, I was already sick of everything, I just wanted things to be like they were two days ago.

I sighed, pretty loudly. I turned around with my eyes closed, trying to fall asleep. I wasn't tho, I couldn't, I couldn't for the love of god fall asleep.

I opened my eyes, tired, with a long face, and he was there, staring at me like he didn't understand what he was seeing. "You've been off lately, are you really okay?" "Uhm, I mean, I guess I'm like, I don't know, it's hard, but like" "Is uni too hard?" he interrupted. "Oh" 

"Yeah, it really is, that's uhm, that's what's wrong"

That was it, that was my sign.

I need to put this madness behind, get a job, meet people, whatever people do when they finish high school and leave their houses, but most of all, I need to leave this house.

"Good night bro" I said, but it sounded more forced than ever, so I just turned around and closed my eyes again, to, again, try to fall asleep.

"Yeah good night Matteo"

...

I woke up to my alarm and so did the person who was, for some reason, spooning me.

And why the hell was it Nick? I mean, sure, I wasn't expecting another person to be in my bed.

I turned it off quickly hoping he would just go back to sleep so we didn't have to deal with uncomfortable situations, and he did, but the thing was, he never let me go.

He held onto me even more tightly. He even snuggled. He was holding me by my waist so hard I swear I couldn't escape.

He even spread his hands open and kinda stroked my chest, and then placed his hand back on my stomach, kind of leaving it there, but still, that was just crazy.

He has such a strong pair of arms.

I looked at his arm under the sheets, woah, no, nope, no way, I'm not doing this.

Like, how on earth am I supposed to not like him? He's just so beautiful, so warm and so, fuck, not again.

"Yo Nick" I said. I gently started shoving him away to try to dissimulate the fact he was spooning me.

I got up as fast as I could and started getting ready, making sure he didn't wake up.

I left for school and prayed for him to not remember whatever that was.

But man I wanted to stay there forever. It just felt so right. Like so normal. Like that was just supposed to happen.

Like two pieces from a puzzle that didn't know they fit together, but they really did.

After the first hours I was chilling, finishing some stuff in my only free time, when I heard someone yell my name.

I turned around, completely confused. Who the hell just walked through that door and yelled my name??

I couldn't believe who was walking towards me. "No way," I said to myself.

We fused into a hug, such a refreshing hug. "What are you doing here?" I asked confused. "I was just missing you a little bit".

Note from the author: "like two pieces of a puzzle that didn't know they fit together"? tf happened to me lmao.
