Nothing without you[Nickloon]

chapter 2 - When im with you

Nickels' pov :

It's been 30 minutes, and I can't sleep. Why is it so hard to sleep, I'm obviously thinking of Balloon as I feel my heart pound faster, I was still under the covers since I knew I was blushing like crazy when he tucked me in, I managed to breath while removing the covers a bit off my face, my chest was burning up.

I just hope he doesn't come back soon. it's embarrassing to see me like this.

Balloons pov:

I was walking back into the hotel to see mo- I mean tea kettle baking something, it smelled a bit good so I walked over to her and she noticed me and smiled.

"Balloon! You're finally here to try my new recipe!"

"Sorry, I just came to check it, I'm not hungry, tho -"

I wasn't able to finish my sentence as she shoved a small brownie cookie thing or whatever it was in my mouth. It tasted good, but it was still too warm for me to fully chew on.
Kinda reminds me of how Nickel makes me feel -

"Balloon, honey, are you okay? You're a bit red. We're my cookies a little too hot?"

No, but Nickel is, WAIT WHAT.

"I-im fine, I swear!"

I try to smile, but I get shakey all of a sudden. What the hell is happening to me? Is it because of the cookies, or is it because of a certain 5 cent denomination(ref), I quickly hover over my thoughts as I realise I'm a blushing mess.

"Sweetheart, did you not like my cookies?"

She gave me a smile with an angry attitude, if I say something bad about her baking I know what's gonna happen next, I saw what happened to Nickel a million times everytime he crosses tea kettle..

"I-uh well-uh.. n-no! Your baking is amazing-I just.. uh.."

She gives me THE look. Does she think I'm lying? What do I say? I don't wanna hurt her feelings, but I don't think I can tell her why this is happening..!
I don't know what to say..

"So.. you don't like my baking?"
She says with annoyance in her voice.

"I-uh.. sorry, I was thinking about someone.."
Without thinking, I blurted out my sentence

I covered my mouth as tea kettles frown slowly turned into a smirk, I sat there embarrassed as she looked at me. She opened her mouth, but I knew what her question was gonna be.

"MY baby boy has a crush!"
She gets a bit too excited

Also, I thought she was gonna ask me who it was -

"Who do you like? Tell momma everything!"

I just gave her an embarrassing smile as I looked away, I was way too red to say anything, I felt my breath shake.

"Oh right, you can tell me anything, Balloon, but if you don't want to, you don't have to."
She gave me a smile while putting her hand on my shoulder.

"I-I like Nickel!"
WAIT, WHAT? I DID NOT SAY THAT, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!?

Tea kettle gasped a bit before looking at me with a smile again, I hope she approves of this.. I know that she does not have that much of a good relationship with Nickel, but I-

"I knew it."

I looked at her with my widened eyes as she went on about how she saw me looking at him, how im always with him, how im- AM I THAT OBVIOUS!?

Nickels' pov :

My head hurts, trying to force myself to sleep is clearly not working, at least my heart is pounding normally again, I think I should just get up, I jump off of my bed as I walk towards the bathroom, I look at myself in the mirror before washing my face.

I stretched a bit before walking out of the washroom. As soon as I headed out, someone jumped on me, almost knocking me to the ground, I recognised the salmon coloured hair as I realised balloon was hugging me...? WAIT NO STOP.

"Nickel! I thought you left for a second. Sorry, haha!"

Is he nervous over something..? I shouldn't mind that right now, since he is literally hugging me right now, I mean, we always hug what is happening to me!?

"Does that give you the full-on right to jump on me?"
If yes, please keep doing so, WHAT AM I THINKING.

"Oh, Cmon!"

I giggle a bit, his voice is so pitched, and he still manages to make it cute. There's no point in hiding it now, I probably have a crush on Balloon.. (I don't think 'PROBABLY' is the right term.)

"Cmon now! Let's go out on a walk!"

A walk..? I wasn't in a mood for one, but I guess I can get closer to Balloon.
He grabbed my hand as he forcefully rushed me out, I couldn't keep up for some reason. My heart was beating fast as my face warmed up, I hope it's not visible.

Before leaving the hotel, I caught a glimpse of lightbulb and paintbrush making out.. ew.. OK, don't lie Nickel you wish that was you and Balloon-SHUT UP.
Wait, wasn't lightbulb supposed to be on the season 2 grounds..?

I left it all aside as Balloon and I left the hotel. He was still holding my hand, just a bit tighter than before, I could feel myself shaking, but I managed to walk it off.

"Nickel, you don't go out very often.. why is that?"

"I dunno, don't care."
Truthfully, my skincare gets ruined.

"Is this one of your trick questions?"
Balloon questioned.

"Yes, the reason I said I don't know nor do I care was not to answer your question. "

He giggled a bit at my sarcasm as I looked down, I knew my face was red, the warmth of his hand on mine made my heart beat fast, and his giggles right next to me made me want scream so badly.

Balloon pov :

"Hey, it's getting a bit hot, wanna go sit under the shade?"
I ask

"I-uh-yea okay"
Nickel said.

Is he nervous? He has been hiding his face and stuttering a lot lately. Is it because of me, am I making him feel uncomfy!? Ok, okay, calm down, Balloon.

We went to sit under the shade, we shared some laughs here and there, I realised I was still holding his hand, I thought of letting go, but Nickel was holding mine tighter, I tried not to squeal as the moment was happening.

Suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder, Nickel was laying his head on me, asleep, and he looked so peaceful, I softly smiled as I put my head on his and dove off

Maybe the advice tea kettle gave me was somewhat working.
