We arrived at my apartment and I gave him a quick tour showing him everything but my room. He pointed at my door, "What room is that?" I looked at it and smiled nervously, "That's just my room." He responded with a nod and slumped onto my couch. "I like your house." He smiled looking around it with his eyes. I grinned and sat next to him pulling out my phone to scroll through Twitter. 

After around a minute or so, I got a notification from Instagram, 'you've been tagged in a post' I tilted my head slightly to be unnoticeable by Nick and pressed the popup notification to go onto a 'Sapnap's Instagram'.

There were around 5 pictures of me and Nick, some from the cafe and one from right now when I wasn't looking. I looked at the caption which read, 'hanging out with this cutie'

I became a bright red as I turned to Nick who was looking at me with a smirk. "What the hOnk!?" I yelled with my voice cracking causing a burst of laugher from Nick. "Honk?" He questioned still laughing. "Oh shut up! And cute? WHY DID YOU CALL ME CUTE!?" I shoved him playfully and couldn't help but smile and laugh a tiny bit, his laugh was so contagious. "Nick~..." I groaned trying to act upset but couldn't help but chuckle a little.

"What!? It's true, you cute." He looked at me with a chuckle turning a deep shade of red. I giggled at the action, "Your such a nimrod." I huffed rolling my eyes causing a grin from him, "I'm your nimrod~" He scooted closer to me. "Wha- No! I- shut up." I pushed him away from me causing him to laugh.

I stood up and walked to the kitchen opening the fridge, "Want to bake a cake?" I asked scouring for all the ingredients. "Sure!" His footsteps got closer until I could see him next to me. I smiled and grabbed everything.

I turned to Nick who had 2 bowls set out, one being smaller than the other. "You want to to the dry ingredients or...?" I looked at him as I placed everything on the counter. "Sure." He grinned, oh my god, I love his smile. I shook my head slightly as I handed him all the dry ingredients.

Once we mixed everything, we combined the wet ingredients with the dry once both were separately mixed. I stirred them together the texture becoming more batter-like before I felt a gentle weight on my shoulder, "hm...?" I looked to my shoulder to see Nick's hand and soon felt Nick lay his chin on top of my head, "What are you doing nimrod?" I continued mixing the batter and he sighed before speaking, "I'm tired." He responded with a slight rasp in his voice. I put the batter into a cake pan before moving out of Nick's grip to put it in the oven.

"It's almost done." I smiled and sat on the couch putting on Cobra Kai to continue the series from where I left off. Nick walked up to me and sat with his arms held out towards me. I looked at him and rolled my eyes as I moved and sat in-between his legs with his arms wrapped around my waist, him occasionally pulling me closer until his breathing evened out proving he was asleep.

After about 30 minutes got up slowly, not wanting to wake him up which was unsuccessful. "Cakes done." I smiled as I pulled out the cake with an oven mitt. Nick nodded as his eyes were heavy. I cut slices of the cake and put one on each of the 2 plates I had set out.

I walked back over to Nick and sat next to him, handing him the plate. He grinned and picked up the fork that was next to his slice on the plate and took a bite, me doing the same right after. I smiled and leaned my head on Nick's shoulder letting out a content sigh as we peacefully ate cake and watched Cobra Kai.

Nick's phone started ringing causing me to jump slightly letting out a giggle from Nick at the action. Nick grabbed his phone and I peeked at it to see the caller id; Dream. He answered, "yo." I placed my plate down on the coffee table before I scooted to where I was sitting on Nick's lap facing him. I nuzzled my face into his chest, enjoying the warmth of him along with the smell of his cologne; Vanilla and Pine Trees.

"Shit, sorry dude I forgot, can we do it tomorrow?" Nick placed one hand on my back rubbing it gently, me melting into the touch, if I were a cat, I'd definitely be purring. Nick hung up and looked at me, "We forgot about the practice today." He chuckled softly with a bit of concern hidden in it. "I'm sorry." It came out a bit muffled as I kept my head on his chest. "It's not your fault." He grinned.

There was a silence for a while until I felt his free hand grab my chin gently, tilting it up to where I was facing him. I turned red as this was the perfect opportunity for me to admire his features. I noticed his eyes wandering to my lips causing me to turn even redder.

tw: not sure if this counts as smut but I'll put a tw in case, tw is in bold.

Nick leaned his head closer to mine waiting for me to connect the gap, I could feel his hot breath against my lips, I closed my eyes and pressed our lips together, them moving in sync. It was passionate with meaning behind it, 'Have I fallen for him this quickly?' I moved one hand up to the back of his head, my fingers tangling in his hair. The once soft kiss had become a little more aggressive and lustful in a way.

I pulled away from Nick to breathe for a moment before I felt Nick's hands move down to my waist, then moving up again under my sweater, his warm, gentle hands gliding over my skin. I let out a soft, quiet whimper from the sudden touch, which sounded more like a soft moan. Nick moved his head down to my neck where he peppered soft kisses along my neck to my collarbone, sometimes sucking on the skin leaving very small, barely visible marks. I gently placed my hand on his chest, lightly pushing him away causing him to stop.

"What's wrong...?" He asked with concern in his eyes as he pushed a tuff my hair behind my ear. "Nothing...It's just, a little too fast." I gave him a smile with some worry hidden behind it and he nodded, placing a kiss on my forehead, "Take your time, we'll take things slow." He grinned.

"Can we go sleep...?" I looked at him with puppy eyes and he nodded reaching and turning off the TV. I got off of him and grabbed his hand leading him to my bedroom, the rainbow flag causing a grin from Nick. I flopped in my bed, Nick doing the same soon after. He laid on his side facing me, he wrapped his arms around me, holding my head to his chest as if he were protecting me from the world.
