i wake up the next morning cuddled up with ricky, in the usual position where he's the big spoon (sometimes i'm the big spoon though, just for laughs) and his nose is pressed into the back of my head.
at this point in our lives, this is basically routine for ricky and i-we've had sleepovers like this almost every weekend for as long as i can remember. it's never been weird or anything, we've just platonically cuddled like this since we were little.
well, except for that period of time when i had a little crush on him, but even then it wasn't different.
i'm over it now, obviously, but that goes without saying. i wouldn't even call it a crush, it was probably just..like, puberty or something. no feelings involved, whatsoever. just friendly feelings. seriously.
my eyes are still closed when i feel ricky's thumb drawing shapes into my forearm, hearing him mumble something to himself. he holds me closer, planting a quick (platonic) kiss on my shoulder.
"what was that?" i ask softly in my morning voice. he jumps a little, probably not knowing i was awake.
"what was what?"
"i swear you just said something."
"oh, nothing i'm just..hungry," he tells me as i groggily turn around in his arms, throwing a leg over him to get comfortable.
"you can always grab anything from the kitchen you know, this is basically your house too."
"i know, but you were asleep on my arm.
i didn't want to wake the beast."
i giggle, "shut up, you snore like crazy so don't even-"
"what does that have to do with anything?!" he laughs.
"i don't know, it made sense in my head," i laugh back into his shoulder, still half asleep. i feel ricky's hands trail down to my stomach before picking me up completely, setting me down fully on top of his body. i intertwine our legs by hooking one of mine around his before snuggling into his chest.
"and i don't even snore, so.." ricky mumbles.
i pick my head up off of him, "you so do, i'm just used to it at this point."
ricky's face drops, "woah, nins, you have.."
i don't even have to hear him point it out to know what it is, accustomed to it happening at this point. there's usually not this much though, but of course it has to get bad right at this moment.

i watch as blood drips down out of nini's nose, quickly putting my hand up to it so it doesn't get on her bed or all over our clothes.
"here, tilt your head back luvie," i tell her, my hand already covered in blood to try and keep it from coming out. you know you're in deep with someone when their literal blood dripping out from their face doesn't gross you out in the slightest. i giggle as i tilt her head back, plugging her nose with my hand. i lean over and grab a few tissues from the box on her nightstand, gently wiping at her face.
"thank you," she breathes out, finding my hand and grabbing it while i clean her face.
"it's just a nosebleed nini, you're gonna be fine," i giggle, cleaning the last bit off from above her mouth.
