'Nick, are you okay?'

Nick woke up to Matt shaking him violently. 'Nick, Nick!'

'What, what I'm up.' Nick groaned.
'We have to go!' Matt whispered.
'Why?!' Nick said, sitting up against his headboard.
'We have a meeting at the warehouse? I can't believe you forgot! I'm whispering bc otherwise Chris will get mad at you. Get up.' Matt said and he left the room.

'He's coming!' Nick heard Matt say from just outside his room. Fuck.

He jumped out of bed and ran out to the car, not brushing his teeth or anything, he'd barely remembered deodorant.

'Ready?' Matt said, looking at Nick through his mirror.

'mhm, let's go.'

Nick had been feeling quite depressed lately. He'd managed to fight it off for a couple years but it made its way back. It's always did. He didn't want to do anything anymore and barely ever managed to do simple tasks. He hated himself for it but deep down knew that it wasn't his fault. Matt knew about Nicks depression. He went through it himself so he could see the signs. Matt was always Nicks shoulder to cry on and he forever appreciated that. Nick was staring out the window and thinking. A hot tear ran down his face and he sniffed, causing Matt to look back in his mirror.
'Allergies playing up?' He asked looking a little confused.

Nick snapped out of his trance and wiped the tear from his face.
'Oh, um yeah, yeah a little.' Nick said sniffing again.
'Here, take one.' Chris said, reaching into the glove box and throwing him the allergy meds.
'oh, thanks Chris.' Nick said softly, knowing full well he didn't need it but he took one to not look suspicious.
'you're welcome!' Chris said, and he turned to continue talking to Matt.

Nick just watched out the window all the way there. He didn't have the energy to do anything else. His leg bouncing as he watched rain drops run across the window.

'We're here.' Nick snapped out of his zone to the sounds of Chris and Matt taking their seatbelts off.

They went into their meeting and it was okay. Nick was spacing out all the time and Matt noticed, he kept his hand on Nicks knee and caressed it gently throughout the whole meeting. Nick was grateful for that.

They got back into the car and they ran to the store, only Chris going inside. Silence. Nick let out a sigh and rested his head on his chair.

'Nick, are you okay? I noticed you've been spacing out and you were crying earlier. What's going on? You know you can talk to me.'

Nick was touched that Matt cared about him so much. Nick hadn't been asked how he was in a while, and Matt's speech made him burst into tears. 'Oh Nick.' Matt cooed, as he got out the car and sat next to him, covering Nick in a warm, comforting embrace.

'I've got you.' Matt whispered.
'I love you.' Nick returned.
