Hayes Grier x Reader

Chapter 9

Hayes's POV

Y/n actually looked really cute when she did the pose even though she was joking, but then Nash just stole her spotlight like usual. I wasn't surprised at all that he slipped and fell, but y/n 's laugh caught my attention- it's like music to my ears. She caught me staring at her though, I had to do say something to cover it.
"Ya know, when you two join the real world I know what jobs you'll have."
"And what would that be?" Y/n said, grinning. I almost got the feeling she was flirting with me, but it couldn't be.
"You know those clowns in the circus who just constantly smack each other and chase each other around? That is sooo who you're gonna be."
Nash and y/n looked at each other for three seconds, making me a little nervous, then started doing exactly what I'd just said. I could hear them chasing each other around the house, upstairs, down through the kitchen, and back upstairs again. Someday I hope my relationship with y/n will be as goofy as Nash's, but something more. I needed to get them back to sanity somehow cause we needed to go. Of course, there's only one thing I could've said that would make them stop...
"BREAKFAST IS READY!"
I hear all the running around from upstairs stop immediately, then both of them come racing down the stairs like a herd of elephants.
Out of breath y/n runs up to me, losing her balance in the process, and having to grab me so she wouldn't fall. I grabbed her arm and her waist as she was slipping and caught her, just kinda stood there for a minute- I couldn't stop staring at her. We held eye contact for maybe fifteen seconds before I started to lean in, and I'm pretty sure y/n was starting to lean in too, before Nash came in and ruined the moment....again.

Nash's POV

Annnnd here they are again. I swear if Hayes doesn't tell her he likes her soon I will. They didn't notice me for the first five seconds as they were just staring at each other, but when they started to lean in a fly came and started flying around my face, making me go, "Awh stupid fly!"
They immediately broke contact and acted like nothing happened, with me just standing there smirking at them.
Y/n saw this and glared at me, making sure I knew she was mad at me for ruining whatever that was. We started grabbing plates and digging into breakfast.

Your POV

Seriously Nash? He just HAD to come in right then and there. I think Hayes was leaning in like I was, but I'm not too sure. There's no way he'd like me, I mean I'm his brothers best friend. All that aside, who knew Hayes could cook??
"Hayes this breakfast is the best I've ever had! Like seriously I wish I could cook this good."
Grinning, he said,"Thanks! Maybe I could give you some lessons over the summer while you're here."
WOW. Guaranteed time with Hayes throughout the summer, and Nash hates lessons like that so he'd probably be off doing his own thing.
"I'd like that! The only things I can really even cook is Mac n Cheese, tomato soup, and grilled cheese."
Nash needed to interfere at some point, and apparently this was his moment.
"Whoa whoa whoa! Hold up on the cooking talk for a sec. Hayes why don't you ever make food like this for me? Like y/n must be a pretty special guest to get this treatment."

Nash's POV

I was serious when I said this, but I could tell that it's gonna take a lot more than just me saying stuff like this to get them together. Hayes had a little bit of blush on his face which I almost pointed out, but I thought it'd be best if he wasn't embarrassed in front of y/n. Buuuuut y/n did not have the same set of mind.
Trying to tease him she said, "Hey Hayes is that blush on your face? Cmon I'm not that special!" Because she was laughing, I'm pretty sure she didn't notice what Hayes said next, he said it pretty quietly.
"Are you kidding? You're definitely special to me."
Then again maybe she did hear it, cause after that her face had a little red to it too.
