"i can't believe i'm waking up next to you and your stupidly gorgeous face"

they wake up with each other
established relationship

—
it was a normal saturday for nick, wake up, go to work for a few hours, come home, then go over to gatsbys and spend the rest of that day with him long into the night as one of gatsby's howling parties boomed through the evening.

they spent their evening like that like they did every saturday, making their ways through the crowds of people, speaking to the occasional on goer, listening to the hushed rumours about their host, even though nick now knows they are not true.

the party slowly dies down, and nick is beat, he moves his body swaying softly to the music playing, he steels his movements at a familiar grip on his shoulder, he turns around to face gatsby with a smile on his face.

"hi, where've you been?" nick asks him

gatsby shrugged his shoulders, his grip still holding onto nick, "i was dealing with something you know how it is, they shouldn't bother anymore this evening"

nick lets out a hum fully well understanding, the grip on his shoulder loosened as he feels gatsbys hand grab on to his own squeezing lightly, nick squeezes back before gatsby drops his hand and returns it to his shoulder, as gatsby leads him up the stairs and to his room.

gatsby couldn't have been quicker to pull nick in for a kiss once the door was shut, nick was cut off by it but soon enough he relaxes into it and kisses jay back eagerly.

they pull away smiling at one another, gatsby pecks nicks lips once more.

"i've wanted to do that the entire night," he says

nick lets out another hum, "yeah me too"

nick pulls him down by his jacket into another heated kiss, jay hums into his the kiss grabbing onto nicks waist pulling the man closer to him. jay licks at nicks bottom lip and nick opens his mouth allowing entrance so the other man can slip his tongue in, so they were making out now.

they stay like that for a couple of minutes before they had to pull away so they could catch their breaths. nick is panting softly as he rests his head on jays shoulder. he feels gatsby wrap his arms around him into a tight embrace, nick sighs happily, just wanting to stay in this moment forever.

"nick?.." gatsby says his name, not some nickname-
just nick.. it makes nicks stomach flutter with an ache in his chest, it was a simple thing, but it meant the world to nick.

"yes, jay" nick replied face still buried in the other man's shoulder.

"stay here tonight?" the question came out quietly as if he were hesitant of it, they may be together.. or whatever you would call their relationship if it even is that, but even with that they've never spent a night with each other; even though they wanted to it just never happened.

"i- jay.. are you sure?"

gatsby squeezes him and nods his head "please?"

nick smiles at that "okay" he tells him softly as he moves so he was looking at jay now, "okay" he says again.

jay smiles that damned smile of his, he looked at nick with adoration in his eyes as he places his hand on nicks face, nick leans into his touch and he feels like he could melt right in this very moment.

"thank you nicky," gatsby tells him.

nick goes red slightly at the use of the nickname nodding his head, "yeah.. i mean it's no problem i obviously want to stay with you... so i-"

nick was cut off by gatsby softly kissing him again, "i know" he whispered as he pulled away.

by the end of the late-night, they were cuddled up together in gatsby's bed, nicks head lay on gatsby's chest, as jay stares up to the ceiling while he runs his fingers through nicks hair. the entire moment seemed so solemn between the two, as they laid together not a word uttered just the sound of their soft breathing.

the quietness was unexpectedly broken by gatsby, who muttered a very soft, "i love you nick."

nick stills at that, mind going completely blank at the words just uttered to him, he feels his eyes prick with tears and he smiles.

"fuck" he mutters "i love you to jay.. so much you know i do," he tells him as he lifts himself up so he was looking at jay, gatsby smiles at him softly bringing his hand to nicks face holding it.

nick leans into his touch, as he brings his hand to cover gatsby's own. this moment between them was very tender, and it made nick melt, and he felt his heart swell, he was just so completely and utterly in love with this man, and he was loved by him.

nick leans down and connects their lips, they stayed like that a moment, before nick pulls away and lays his head back down on gatsby's chest.

"i love you.. i love you so much jay" he tells him again tiredness evident in his voice.

gatsby pulls the man as close to him as he could, hugging him tightly as if he was afraid to let go, and maybe he was, afraid that whatever this was right now would just be a figment, but it wasn't it was real
and it was going to stay.

"..i love you too" nick hears before he is drifted into sleep.

—
nick stirred in his sleep opening his tired eyes, to an already woke gatsby who was looking at him with a soft expression.

so last night wasn't just a dream, something his mind came up with in his unconscious state, it was all real, and nick couldn't be happier than he is now.

"i can't believe i'm actually waking up next to you and your stupidly gorgeous face," nick says

gatsby laughs, "yeah?"

"mh.. and i can't believe you just watched me sleep and didn't wake me"

"you looked comfortable and i didn't want to ruin that," jay tells him.

nick just smiles pecking his lips.

"i love you," he tells him.

jay nods smiling back to the other man beside him, "i love you too"
