Third Pov
Travis and Taylor had been having a 'chill week' which consisted of spending the days cuddled up in bed in their pajamas while binging their favorite shows. Today however Travis felt like messing with Taylor. It was rare that Travis ever actually called Taylor by her full name usually just calling her by nicknames like Tay, baby, princess, blondie or anything other pet name he could think of. He would often call her Teddy after he made a joke about her being his personal little teddy bear due to her being so clingy. He also has a habit of calling her Ali instead of her actual name.
Today however he planned on only calling her by her name and nothing else. He of course did feel bad knowing how much she cherished his little nicknames for her but he was genuinely curious to see how she would react.
When he woke up in the morning he immediately smiled down at the sleeping blonde who was practically on top of him. Her head was tucked into the crook of his neck and he could feel her slow breaths against the skin of neck. The rest of her body lay on top of his while there legs lay tangled under the sheets. He let her sleep for a few more minutes admiring her sleeping figure before waking her up.
"Taylor is time to wake up." He nearly slipped up by adding a sweetheart to the end of his words but managed to keep his mouth shut.
Taylor blinked her eyes lazily looking around confused for a moment before locking eyes with Travis. "Hmm what time is it?" She questioned rubbing her eyes lazily.
"Just a bit past 8." Travis ran his hand through Taylor's hair before resting it on the small of her back.
"Five more minutes." She moaned burying her face in his neck.
Travis chuckled at her sleepy state causing Taylor's body to shake alone with his. "Come on I'll make you pancakes."
Taylor's head shot up at the mention of food a huge grin breaking out on her face. "Well why didn't you lead with that?" She bolted from the bed racing downstairs a giggle echoing from the hall.
Travis chuckled at her antics shaking his head before rising from bed himself. Grabbing a hoodie of his of the chair, Travis walked down the flight of stairs where he saw his girlfriend sitting on the counter while munching on an oatmeal cream pie.
"This early in the morning?" Travis inquired breaking off a piece of the treat. Taylor looked at him with pure betrayal on her face. "Do you want banana, blueberry, or chocolate chip?" Travis asked sorting through the cabinets.
"Hmm chocolate chip."
"Coming right up."
Twenty minutes later Travis had whipped up a fresh batch of chocolate chip pancakes. "Taylor breakfasts ready!" He called to his girlfriend who has retread to the living room to watch some TikTok on her phone.
A few moments later Taylor appeared in the entryway to the kitchen. "Thank you baby." She kissed him on the cheek still not catching on. Travis set two plates of pancakes at the table along with some drink and add on's for the pancakes.
"Hey Taylor can you pass me the syrup." Travis shot her a quick look trying to gauge her reaction.
Taylor reached for the syrup before freezing her moment. "What did you call me?" She questioned.
"What do you mean?" Travis pretended to be confused.
"It's- never mind it's nothing." She waved it off handing him the bottle.
"Thank you." He smiled at her.
"Mmhm." Taylor returned the smile before digging back into her pancakes.
~~~
Travis had been using her name and only her name for the whole day only slipping up once by almost calling her Teddy. Taylor had been getting increasingly more agitated and nervous, confused by the sudden lack of nicknames.
Taylor was laying on the bed while Travis was on the phone with his coach about the upcoming game. "Travis is being very weird isn't he bud." Taylor spoke in a baby voice to Rambo.
"Hey Taylor I'm gonna take a shower." Travis walked back into their room tossing his phone onto his nightstand.
"That's not my name." Taylor whined.
"What do you mean that's not your name? Last time I checked your name was Taylor Swift." He chuckled still not giving in.
"Yeah that is my name but that's not what you call me." She exclaimed with a sad expression on her face.
"Oh it's not?" He walked over to Taylor who was kneeling on the bed and wrapped his arms around her. Taylor wrapped her arms around his torso pressing her face against his stomach shaking her head.
"Then what am I supposed to call you?"
"Teddy or Ali or Tay-Tay or baby or any of the other things you call me." She mumbled into his stomach.
"Oh ok."
"Say it."
"Say what?"
"Say my name." She looked up at him giving him her best puppy eyes.
"Taylor." He gave her a cheeky grin.
"Nooooo." She cried out throwing her head back.
"Why won't you say my name are you mad at me?" Her lip quivered a little instantly making Travis break.
"No no baby I'm sorry it was just a joke." He picked her up laying down on the bed with her, his arms wrapped around her. "I'm sorry I wanted to see what you would do if I only called you by your name."
"What?!" Her shot up from where it laid on his chest almost hitting Travis in the process. "Your an ass!" She hit his chest trying to free herself from his grasp. "Let me go you jerk."
Travis just help her tighter flipping them over and laying on top of her. Taylor grunted as the wind was knocked out of her lungs. "Your to heavy." She complained hitting his back.
Travis just smiled down at her before covering her face in kisses. Taylor tried keeping a scowl on her face but broke into a grin pretty quickly. Travis continued smothering her face with kisses making Taylor laugh uncontrollably.
"Baby, Tay, princess, gorgeous, beautiful, love, sweetheart, blondie, Tay-Tay, Teddy, Ali." Travis listed off all of her favorite nicknames giving her a kiss in between each name.
"Ok! Ok I forgive you please!" She laughed tears welling in her eyes.
Travis eventually stopped his assault pulling back to look at her face. "I love you Ali."
"Hmm I love you to Travvy." She smiled lifting her head to press a tender kiss on his lips.
