Instead of going to the casinos like he claims to be doing late each night, but he really goes to a 24-hour gym and builds up his arms and upper body. He carefully makes sure Ellis doesn't see him naked until he's ready... and then shows the guns.

Nick 100% got jealous of the way Ellis talked about Zoey, for sure. Also when they go out to bars or to casinos, Nick has to make sure he’s always touching Ellis in someway like an arm around his waist or just holding his wrist otherwise he’s worried people with start hitting on his love. Because damn man Ellis is attractive, maybe to the point of Nick feeling kind of intimidated by it.

Nick saying he is way past self-care of any kind because of how much his body has already been fucked up by smoking, drinking, etc. so why should he start now? And Ellis looks at him like

Oh boy oh man

Let’s assume that they’re already an item/”getting acquainted” when this happens.

Nick would blame himself a hundred percent for Ellis’s death, even if Ellis sacrificed himself and took his life willingly, Nick would resent himself so much.

They watch helpless as a Tank crests a pile of rubble and throws a slab of concrete down atop Ellis, who screams out as his legs are crushed. He yells for the others to run and unclips a pipebomb from his belt. The last they see is Ellis holding the ticking red bomb, a swarm of zombies overwhelming him with a Tank near enough on top of him. When they reach the saferoom, there’s barely time between Coach closing the door behind him and Nick yelling, starting to tip over cabinets and throwing chairs across the room.

“IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!” he cries, letting out his anguish and pain on the furniture until he collapses on his knees amongst the carnage, head in his hands. Rochelle comes to hold him, arms locked around her teammate and rocking him gently.

Like I imagine nick started as mostly sexual feelings then it became smt else but I’d like to read your thoughts abt this if you don’t mind!

I agree! Nick’s attraction to Ellis probably would’ve been heavily sexual at the start because hot damn, it’s the end of the world, Nick’s last wishes would probably involve getting his dick wet one last time.

Ellis would think Nick was so cool and look up to him from the start, despite Nick’s asshole attitude he knows that there’s a capability to be good in everyone. He knows Nick must have a soft spot and really wants to help him find it.

Then the group spends more time together, living to see the dawn of each new day until they become more of a team and closer together. Ellis would be more into the whole relationship idea than Nick would at first and initiate the more romantic things like holding his hand, cuddling up next to him and giving Nick a hug.

Nick’s feelings would come to a head when Ellis risks his life for Nick or almost dies and then Nick has to confront the fact that he might be in love with this hick and that losing him would actually break him. He wants to hit Ellis for being so reckless and stupid and wants to yell at him to be more careful next time.
