WE TIME TRAVELERS, BOIS! STEP ASIDE KARL 'CUZ THE POWER OF REWRITING STUFF IN WATTPAD IS STRONGER THAN YOU. (in all seriousness, thanks to SavannahNeely for the idea of making it have a bit more time before angst, if felt a bit rushed)

nick's neck hurt. he had just woke up and found himself unable to move, thanks to clay and george. he wanted to text niki but he couldn't reach his phone. he had a million things to talk about with her. she always had nick's back, and he prided himself on always having hers. however much he wanted to spill everything that happened the night before, he couldn't seem to wriggle out of george and clay's hug.

"guuuysss i wanna get up!" nick droned, patting clay's head like he was a dog. "i'll make breakfast if you let me go."

both of them scooted a bit to the side so nick could get up from the middle of them. nick immediately grabbed his phone and bolted out the door laughing. "I DON'T KNOW HOW TO COOK!" he ran into the living room, backwards, to try and relax his aching back while checking his messages. clay and george soon followed him, not happy, but not mad.

"the fuck?" nick blurted, scrolling on his phone. the other 2 glanced at him as they shuffled out of the hallway.

"what happened?" george bumbled, worried and panting.

"tommy happened," nick sighed. "wilbur and dare were having a somewhat civil conversation and wilbur said 'let's get some pogs in the chat' and tommy popped out of nowhere, only to spam 'POG' like 200 times. that explains why our phones were going off last night."

"yeah last night. ...what are we exactly?" clay muttered.

"gay. we're gay, clay." george quipped, walking up the stairs so he could get him and clay's stuff.

"well yeah i know that. i mean what are we, as in... ugh! i don't know! you guys know what i'm talking about!" clay sassed, clearly frustrated.

"...boyfriends?" nick said. he slurred the word a bit; not drunkenly, more-so in a questioning manner. nick loved every single second he spent with them

"it's better than being single!" george sang from nick's room, grabbing his backpack and clay's duffle bag.

clay just smiled a bit, glad that he had the 2 best boyfriends in the world.


NOW EVERYONE'S AT GOGY'S HOUSE BECAUSE IT'S CONVIENIENT FOR IT TO BE THAT WAY.


nick's phone started to buzz. he was getting a call from an unknown number. nick wasn't sure if he should answer it or ignore it.

"hm?" clay noticed nick staring at his vibrating phone. 

"unknown number. i know it's probably a scammer or telemarketer, but the anxiety that it's important has the best of me. i'll be right back." nick explained. he walked out of the living room and up the stairs.

"why're you so happy this morning gogy?" clay asked, turning his head towards the kitchen.

"because everything is perfect now. it was meant to be!" george gushed. 


~UPSTAIRS IN GEORGE'S ROOM: A FEW MINUTES LATER~


"do you know exactly what to say? make sure you do the sob story. just remember that if you mess up-" a voice from the phone threatened. from the tone of voice, the guy speaking didn't seem happy.

"i won't mess up. i'm an actor, remember? now, do you promise it's only me and not them you'll do this to?" nick whispered back through gritted teeth.

"i only want you, babe. they don't mean shit to me. it'd be a shame if i take an interest in them suddenly, though..." the guy on the other line cooed back.

"shut the hell up, you promised that wouldn't happen. it's me and only me, got it?" nick snapped, right after checking if clay and george were still downstairs. "i have to go. they might get suspicious if i'm on for too long. i'll call you soon." with that, nick hung up and walked back down the stairs.


~BACK TO THE LIVING ROOM~


"oh! you're back! who was it?" clay said, filling up his glass of water, not noticing it was about to overflow.

"it was my mom calling from alastair's home phone. she said she might be home a bit late, you know, traffic and all. also, you might wanna pay attention to your glass, clay." nick said, putting on the sweetest smile he could fake without them realizing he was lying.

"right!" clay said with an awkward smile as he went to get a few paper towels. "sorry george."

"nah it's fine. mi casa es su casa after all!" george crowed as he opened a cabinet full of paper towels.

"i failed spanish, gogy. i have no idea what that means." clay said as he grabbed the towels. he wasn't joking, he really hated spanish.

"nevermind then." gogy shrugged clay's INSOLENCE off as nick walked up to him and hugged him from behind.

"whatcha making?" nick said as george got out flour and milk and other shit people use to cook.

"pancakes! how could you not tell?" george said. nick sighed and kissed george on the cheek. nick looked worried, though. clay was busy cleaning up water from the floor to notice, but george sure did. "nick... what's wrong?"

'shit!' nick thought. 'he noticed!' nick was scared for both himself and his boyfriends. "i just... just forgot- about... my study guide! i left it at floris's and-" was all nick could stutter before george shot him a stern look and dragged him to the side.

"look, if you don't wanna tell us what's up with you, we won't force you, but at least tell us you don't wanna say. the thought of you lying to us scares me, since i have never have any idea when you're lying."

"sorry. and i won't lie to you anymore. my word it strong!" nick said, smiling a bit at the last part. with that nick kissed him and went back to cooking. nick knew he should be focusing on his bigger problems, but he'd much rather forget about everything else and spend the day with his boyfriends.

his boyfriends.
