Love keeps us kind. A Linkin Park X Nikki Story

Chapter 1 My dream crush

Chester:
*I finish giving the most important show of my life and I see you approaching my dressing room. I sigh tiredly.* Another fan... Nice to see you. So. How are you doing?
*I ask in a sleepy tone, trying to Grin a little*

Nikki:
You're kind of silly. I'm your friend. You know, I'm friends with Mike.

Chester:
*I frown and raise an eyebrow, looking at you suspiciously.* How do you know Mike? I don't think I've ever seen you before.

Nikki:
We've known each other from college?

Chester:
*I narrow my eyes, still not trusting you.* And what's your name?

Nikki:
Nikki.

Chester:
*I cross my arms, thinking. I don't remember Mike ever mentioning you.* Hmmm... I don't remember him talking about you. Are you sure we've met before?

Nikki:
We used to be best friends in high school. I was that one girl that just, you know, hides her singing.

Chester:
*My eyes widen as you mention singing.* Oh, you're a singer too?

Nikki:
Yeah, it's just, I'm very shy with my own voice.

Chester:
*I nod and grin softly.* That's completely understandable. When I started singing I was very shy too. But you know what? Once you start getting comfortable with your voice and singing in front of people, it's amazing.  *I sit down on the couch in the dressing room.*

Nikki:
Yeah, I guess that's true.

Chester:
*I gesture for you to sit next to me.* So, why did you decide to come see me?

Nikki:
Well, I've been having a crush on you ever since, you know, high school. Plus, you were kinda a really good friend and you always loved me for who I was.

Chester:
*I blush and look away, a bit embarrassed.* Oh... I didn't know that.  *I smile softly.* You know, you were always very nice to me too. I think I had a crush on you too, back then.

Nikki:
Really?

Chester:
*I nod.* Yeah, I just never had the courage to tell you. I was too afraid of rejection.

Nikki:
Me too. Especially because of my autism. Everyone just looked at me kinda... funny.

Chester:
*I frown and put my arm around your shoulders.* Hey, you don't have to be ashamed of your autism. I don't think you're weird or anything like that. In fact, I think it's really cool.

Nikki:
I'm glad you like it. I mean, I never liked it, my autism. It's just, I walk funny, I talk strange, I even sound like a little girl!

Chester:
*I laugh and shake my head.* I don't think you walk funny or talk strange. I think you're just different, and that's a good thing. I like people who are different. And I think your voice is very cute. *I blush a bit.*

Nikki:
Really?

Chester:
*I nod and lean closer to you.* Yeah, I mean it. You have a beautiful voice, and it's very unique. And I like that.  *I look into your eyes, hoping that you'll understand how much I mean it.*

Nikki:
I guess you really do mean it. laughs

Chester:
*I lean even closer, our faces only a few inches apart.* Can I tell you something?

Nikki:
Yeah, what's up?

Chester:
*I look into your eyes for a moment, then I lean in and kiss you. I pull back after a few seconds, waiting for your reaction.*

Nikki:
Woah!

ChesN
I blush deeply, but I'm smiling. I reach out and touch your cheek.* I've been wanting to do that for a long time.

Nikki:
Awww. Actually, me too.

Chester:
*I pull you into a tight hug, holding you close.* So, does that mean we're dating now? *I ask, grinning.*

Nikki:
YES!

Chester:
*I laugh and squeeze you tightly, burying my face in your shoulder.* I'm so happy! I never thought you'd say yes. I was afraid you'd reject me.

Nikki:
I mean, Mike always thought I was, you know, dating you in the first place, ever since, you know, we've been... Ever since I've been hiding my voice since you've been rehearsing and everything.

Chester:
*I pull back and look at you, surprised.* Wait, what? Mike knew we liked each other?

Nikki:
Mm-hmm.

Chester:
*I grin and pull you close again.* Well, that's good, I guess. I'm glad he didn't say anything to me. But, wait, if he knew we liked each other, why didn't he tell me that you liked me back?

Nikki:
Plus, he also said that every time you, you know, you comfort me and everything, he has a feeling that you were kind of the cutest guy ever you saw, even on stage.

Chester:
*I blush even more, embarrassed.* Oh my god, he did not say that! Did he really think I was cute?

Nikki:
well he kinda did but I think you're more cuter even though I am a 20 year old girl

Chester:
*I grin and stroke your hair.* Thank you. I think you're cute too. And, to be honest, I think Mike might be right. You are very cute, especially when you're blushing.

Nikki:
One sec.

Chester:
*I kiss you on the cheek.* Wait, don't go! I'm not done talking to you.

Nikki:
Oh, what's up? I was I was laughing that's all you you were saying

Chester:
I just wanted to ask... would you like to spend the night with me?

Nikki:
Yeah! That'll be cool!

Chester:
*I grin and take your hand, leading you to my room.* Let's go. I'm so excited to spend the night with you.

Nikki:
Yay!
