Beautiful Minds (NG)

Chapter Twenty Nine

*NASH'S POV*

It's been three days since we've been home, and El's just been loving it. I'm glad to finally see her so happy, with no care in the world. Who would've thought that her break was going to be here,, at home.

"I win!" She yells, throwing her controller and jumping up and down. I just frown and look down at my phone.

She's starting to get her vision back, slowly but surely. She can see everything now, she's just a little more than colorblind.

"Aww Nashy." She coos, sitting down on my lap. I look up at her and smile, unable to hold my grudge any longer. I pick her up over my shoulder and run into the kitchen.

"Put me down!!!"

"Never!"

"Where are we going?"

I gently set her on the counter, showing her a box of pre made cake mix.

"Let's make cupcakes!!" She squeals, taking the box and kissing me on the cheek.

"You missed." I say, pulling her up to me again and connecting our lips. She pulls back and opens the fridge, getting out whatever the box says to put into the mix.

"You know I really don't understand the point of kissing." She declares, cracking an egg into the bowl.

"You know you like it." I reply, winking at her. She giggles and continues to stir the batter. I watch her for awhile, wondering what she's thinking about. I eventually get bored and come up behind her and take the mixer out of her hand. She tries to back away but I keep one hand on the mixer and one on the bowl so she can't leave.

"Nashhhhhh I have to peee!" She whines, trying to remove my hands.

"You're a bad liar." I laugh, causing her to frown. She quickly gets distracted and unzips my jacket, revealing my bare chest.

"What are you doing?"

"Looking."

"Why"

"Because you're hot."

I roll my eyes, turning off the mixer and grabbing her by her waist and setting her on the counter.

And a 10 minute make out session later, the cupcakes are finally in the oven.

"Being colorblind sucks."

"Better than being blind though."

"Not helping."

"Sorry." I say, sheepishly scratching my head. I walk into the next room over to move the Xbox into the back room, but before I'm halfway done, there's a knock at the door.

"I got it." I say, standing up and brushing myself off. I prepare myself for the worst as I open the door, only to be faced with Jack and Jack.

"Oh hey guys!" I yell, inviting them in to where El is.

"Hey Ellie Bellie!" Johnson squeals, laying on his stomach next to her on the counter.

"What's new. Boys? Fashion? Fill me in." She laughs and waves him away, hugging them both and ultimately getting squished.

"Hey guys back off." I say, laughing and pushing them away.

"We got you a presentttt!" Gilinsky sings, pulling out a little box. He hands it to her, her kissing him on the cheek. I slide on to the counter next to her, resting my head on hers.

She opens the box to reveal a little silver bracelet, with colorful gems lining the silver.

"Guys I bet it's beautiful." She says, running her finger across the chain. I pull her into me, pushing her hair out of her face. Its so not fair that all this had to happen to her. It might even hurt me more than her, seeing her like this.
