Nick's Agreement

Nick Minter was quite a joking fellow.
Some loved him. Some hated him. Many praised, a little few despised. But nobody loved Nick more than Simon.
Simon collapsed on the shopping trolley, watching as Nick scanned the isles for a later surprise.
"Niiick.." Simon groaned, trying to catch his attention. It sort of worked, as Nick turned to look.
"Seriously, just one more thing."
In a dash, Nick grabbed the item, put it in the trolley and took it off Simon.
"Alright, we'll leave now."
The pair sat down in the car, and Nick sighed. He looked over to Simon, who was browsing on Twitter.
"We going to the Sidemen house?"
"Yeah. May as well."
Nick strapped in, ruffling Simon's hair.
"You know what Simon? You're the best little brother ever."
Simon smiled, and flicked Nick's ears.
"Drive me brother!"
"Alright my brother!"

Nick pulled into the driveway, parking the car and sighing. He had an idea in mind, and he knew in the end Simon would give in and agree.
"Simon?"
His brother turned to look at him, observing the look on his face.
"Mm?"
"Can we make an agreement?"
"Depends."
"Well..." Nick rubbed his chin, smiling as he did so. "If, if you do me anything I want today, I'll ask Ethan out for you."
Simon smiled. Nick knew his brother like the back of his hand, and he knew he had a huge crush on Ethan. Ethan was the chubby little Sideman, who was Simon's best friend, and closest.
"Alright. On one condition."
"Yeah?"
"You have to ask him out today."
"Deal."
They shook hands, then got out the car.
Nick decided to tell Ethan just as they were all about to go to sleep and Simon was upstairs in bed. He'd hint at it all day, and would give Ethan questions which would determined whether Ethan liked Simon or not, but apart from that Simon was his slave for the rest of the day.
He loved it; Simon was his brother, and he knew everything Nick liked and found it easy to be his slave.
He'd make notes of Ethan's answers. He asked 'which Sideman would you date if you had to?' and Ethan quickly replied with 'Simon' and he also asked 'kiss kill marry' and Harry was kill, Josh was marry, and Simon was kiss. And when Nick asked why Simon was kiss, Ethan replied 'I don't want to marry someone if I can't kiss them. I'd rather snog the boy to death then marry him and not be able to kiss him.'
And so Simon served Nick, and Nick watched the pair's every move, until it was time.

Simon lay in bed, and sighed. By the looks of things, Nick lied, because Ethan hadn't come to confront him yet. Or maybe Nick did, but Ethan was so grossed out he wanted to avoid him.
He hoped anything but the latter.
He squeezed his eyes shut, and pulled the sheets over him. He'd cry himself to sleep if Ethan didn't want to see him anymore, because Ethan was the oxygen to his lungs.
Simon heard the door open, and then shut again. Someone whispered his name, and lifted the sheets to climb under and lie next to Simon.
"Simon."
Simon noticed the voice.
"I- Nick told me that you wanted to... You know... Date me, and-"
"Ethan I'm so sorry if our relationship is ruined. I just like you, that's all, but if you hate me now I don't think I could go on I can't loose someone like you-"
"Woah!" Ethan stopped Simon, and pulled Simon so he was facing him. "Don't say that Simon. Now you're just being silly."
"B-but..."
"Simon," Ethan whispered, and let a few seconds of silence pass before he gently and delicately brushed his lips against Simon's, and trapped them both in a soft, loving kiss that was just perfect. Just lips and noses, and nothing more.
Ethan pulled away, and listened to the desperate whimper of Simon as he did so. Simon clearly needed him so much, and he began raking his hands down Ethan in his eagerness.
"E-Eth..."
He tried to steal another kiss, but Ethan rebelled and shook his head.
"Hold yourself Minter. I haven't told you the best part."
Simon looked up at his, hopefully, new boyfriend, and fluttered his eyes.
"I always felt the same Simon. I was afraid of how you'd react, so when Nick told me I came instantly. I need you in my life Simon." Ethan smiled. "I love you so much."
"I love you too." Simon hissed, grabbing at Ethan's jeans in a desperate attempt to tug them off. Ethan eventually gave in and allowed Simon to remove his jeans and his own pair of trousers, and their shirts, and they lay there in complete silence, half naked and happy.
Simon nudged his nose under the tip of Ethan's, tilting Ethan's head gently. With a satisfied smile, he kissed Ethan again, and again, and again, until Ethan tugged Simon on top of him and they continued to kiss until one of them fell asleep.
"Thanks Nick."
Simon heard it muttered in his hair, before nothing.

-I wish Nick was my brother. He seems like a great guy.-
