Best friends brother

flowers and a squishmallow

nick and i go into the kitchen and get the idea to do "rayna cooks blind" for his personal youtube channel. we decide to make nachos which isn't really a hard thing to make but we chose nachos with jalapeños and ground beef and stuff. let me just say we STRUGGLED.

chris and matt came home while we were cooking and nick and chris swapped places. chris held onto my hands to help me cook the ground beef because i didn't want to burn myself. i added cheese, tomatoes, jalapenos, and ground beef on the nachos and had sour cream salsa and homemade guacamole on the side.

when it was done nick told me to stay where i was while him chris and matt did something. i stood in the corner so i didn't touch anything. when nick took my blindfold off i expected to see the mess i made from making food but instead saw chocolate, chips and SQUISHMALLOWS. "what is this?" i asked extremely confused. "we got this for you because of your accident. we just wanted to make you feel better." matt explains. "ohh you guysss..." tears form in the corner of my eyes as i listen to matt tell me. the boys hug me which makes me cry harder. after i calm down i look at the gifts they got me again. "how did you guys know all my favourite things?" "nick told us all your favourite things while you were still unconscious because we wanted to get you something really special" chris says, with a hand behind his back. i thought it was weird but i didn't say anything about it. "OH MY FUCKING JESUS LORD YOU GOT ME BUBBA?????????" i scream, noticing the purple bull squishmallow i've been wanting for years. "nick told us it's your "DISO" a while ago and we found it at target a few weeks ago. i wanted to give it to you a different time but i thought this would be less awkward..." chris says. "wdymu less awkward" i ask "CYA!" nick shouts "PEACE!" matt calls (yes i know that's corny just go with it) "where are you going???" i ask them. but they've already ran upstairs. chris walks closer to me and brings his hand out from behind his back. he's holding the most beautiful bouquet of flowers i've ever seen. "chris..." i gasp. "this is what i meant by less awkward. do you like them?"  "chris i love them!" i exclaim. "they're gorgeous. thank you." "so... what now?" he asks awkwardly. "um idk" i giggle. then nick and matt come bounding down the stairs. "WHAT NOW???? now my best friend becomes my sister because she's dating my brother and they're gonna get married and have kids  and be adorable" nick screams. "shut up nick" chris and i say in unison. we  make eye contact and he kisses me again. it's just small kiss but it's longer than the first one. we all go sit on the couch to watch the office and eventually change to brooklyn 99  "i think brooklyn 99 is the best show ever created" matt says happily. "i agree" i say yawning. "you tired" chris asks, clearly just as tired but won't admit it. "nope but you sure are." i say jokingly. "you're right i am", he says.  he take his arm off my shoulders and stretches his arms into the air. we all decide to go to bed. i chose to sleep in nicks room and chris looks a little sad but idc because i need a sleepover with my best friend. "sorry chris. i just need some nick time." i kiss him goodnight and walk with nick to his room. nick closes his door. "damn" nick says. "what? just the fact that i feel horrible and amazing at the same time because i'm dating chris but i'm saying my best friends brother???? yeah. damn to that." "girl i've been shipping you with chris for forever. seriously don't worry about it.yeah it's gonna take some getting used to but i want you to be happy and we'd be siblings if you got married." "are you sure you're okay with it?" i ask. by this point we've both got pajamas on (i changed in the bathroom) and we're laying in bed "girl remember when he said he wanted to give you bubba today but he had originally wanted to give it to you a different time and didn't want to make it awkward?" "yes..." i reply "well he's had a crush on you for like a year and a half or something. anyway when he got it he was really happy because he knew how happy it would make you. ive known the whole time and believe me it's been HARD to keep a secret from my best friend but i knew i couldn't ruin his chances with you. so i kept my mouth shut." "wow. tbh it was really hard to tell you i thought i liked him but i didn't want you or i to get delulu because i didn't know if he liked me and we would both get fucking drunk on delusion" i laugh. we climb into bed and decide to watch tiktok for a while. when i open my phone, i see a text from chris.
