Mine (Part III) - Nolou/Uglydolls Fanfic

30 | A Kiss Forced

(Lou's POV)

It was about 2am when I woke up from a nightmare. When I realized the space next to me was empty, I got up to look around the house. Thankfully, I found Nolan downstairs in the living room.. looking through that box.

I sat next to him with a yawn.

"Hey.. What are you doing?"

Nolan: "Oh.. Lou. I'm just going through this stuff. Did I wake you?"

I shook my head and rubbed my eyes.

Nolan: "I couldn't sleep.. I figured I might as well do something useful instead of just scrolling on my phone."

He smiled and put something into a bag.

Nolan: "Like I thought, most of this is garbage.."

Even half-asleep, I'd remembered the camera I looked at. And that I still had it. I hope he wouldn't remember it or notice it missing.

Nolan: "It's kind of embarrassing, but.. there's a poster here that I think you'll like."

He handed me a rolled paper. I took it and looked.
A smile crept into my face.

Nolan: "I got it the day after I met you, actually. I can't believe it's still in good condition.."

It was an old poster of me. In a suit and tie with the words "perfection" on the bottom. My face went red.

Nolan: "Don't laugh at me.."

Ironically, he begun to laugh at himself.

"This was taken so long ago. It's probably worth a lot."

Nolan: "I don't think I'll sell it. I'll probably keep it. If that's okay with you."

"Of course."

I rolled it back up and gave it back. He smiled and put it off to the side.

Nolan: "You don't have to stay up. Go back to bed.. you look tired."

"Not without you.."

I covered another yawn and leaned onto his shoulder. He pet my hair softly.

Nolan: "Okay, then. Let's go. I'm not sure I could carry you up the stairs. You're too big."

"You calling me fat?"

I stood up and tickled his neck.

Nolan: "No- dont- haha stop-!"

He giggled and pushed my hand away.
He put things away into the box and we finally went back to bed.

I spooned him from behind and nuzzled into his hair. His warm body was pressed against mine. It made me even sleepier. My eyes rested and I was ready to doze off again with him next to me.

Nolan: "Aww."

I opened my eyes and saw a light coming from around Nolan's face.
I frowned. There was a weird sound that sounded like "mahbamabamah".

"What are you doing?"

Nolan: "Sorry. But look at this talking pug, he's so cute-!"

I sighed and closed my eyes.

"Put your phone down. Let's sleep, okay?"

Nolan: "Sorry.."

The sound of the dog videos was gone. But a couple seconds later, he giggled again.

I opened my eyes a final time and reached over. I found the off button on his phone and pressed it. He groaned in annoyance as I grabbed the phone and placed it under my pillow.
