nick coming home to find cole napping on the couch, curled up on himself. colle looks all soft and relaxed, hair a little messy, cheeks red because he is somehow wrapped in a thick blanket despite the very warm flat. and it's so endearing to nick, to be able to walk in and find cole like that, so he takes his jacket off, walks slowly to the couch and climbs behind cole, his arms wrapping around his frame, pulling him to his chest. there something so comforting about the weight of cole, the way his body fits just right against nick's. it makes him a little insane.
cole stirs at the movement but doesn't open his eyes just yet, his hands gripping at nick's thick arms to wrap them tighter around him. nick smiles as that because if he could, cole would probably choke himself in nick's arms.
'you were gone so long' complains cole in a sleepy voice, inhaling the comforting smell of nick, letting it make his muscles relax.
nick's lips are on cole's neck to apologise, the trail of kisses going all the way to the soft spot behind his ear, the one that makes cole shiver from head to toes.
'keep doing that and i might forgive you' sighs cole, opening his eyes, a smirk on his lips as he turns in nick's arms to face him, getting rid of the blanket in the same motion, wanting the least amount of fabric between them 'hey' he says softly before he kisses his captain sweetly 'missed you' he adds, his hands cupping nick's face. he kisses nick like it's a game he needs to win, a drill he has to practice endlessly. and nick doesn't complain as his hand find cole's waist and pull him forward, flush against him, his warm body pliant.
'wanna show me just how much you missed me ?' he asks in a hoarse voice when he feels cole's hips grind against him.
cole hums in agreement and deepens the kiss, making it filthy in a heartbeat. 'oh trust me, i will' he says against nick mouth, smirking so much it's more teeth than lips. but it doesn't matter because nick smiles at the promise and slips his hands under cole's shirt, fingers sprawled against his warm skin.
