i bloom just for you

“It’s two minutes, your watch must be wrong,” Nick shrugged. “Can you please take a chill pill now?”

“You’re lucky you’re so pretty,” he teased with a small smile. “Please. The Arlo shit? The under the table fucking shady shit I do? Just because we don’t talk about it, doesn’t mean it isn’t there,” he frowned. “Yeah, sure. You can do that if you’re ever allowed to touch me again,” he said, turning over his shoulder to look at Cal as he saged the room. “We might need a new house altogether, honestly,” he joked.

Love you. See you soon... stranger ;)

As the bright light hit Nick’s face, he practically winced as he moved to try to cover himself, blocking out the sunlight. Fuck, that was bright, what time was it now? It had to be pretty late for the sun to be out like this already. Or maybe, he was just terribly hungover. He had ended up back in his bachelor pad, and with company. “I’m guessing we did. And if we didn’t, no hard feelings, because I can’t fucking remember a thing, anyway,” he replied. “Uh... I’m sure we introduced ourselves last night, but given our mental state... I’m Nick. You want breakfast?”

Let’s meet at the bar there, Clark. I’ll find you.

“Good, I’m glad. It’d be kinda awk if you didn’t,” he said, moving up to peck his lips softly. “Hey, I know I’m lucky too. I’m grateful that you stay with me in spite of my shit, too,” he replied. He couldn’t help but laugh at Cal’s joke, and he pushed away for a second. “Pretty sure it’s your twink, I need to— hold on,” he said, getting up from their makeshift bed and making his way to the kitchen to grab something before returning. “Need to sage this place. Kill the twink vibes away.”

Nick was on his way home from his office when he bumped into someone on the street. He was distracted, looking at his phone texting his fiancé, so it had definitely been his fault. “Woah, hey, it was an accident,” he said, as he heard the anger in the other’s voice. Looking up, he saw a familiar face. “It’s okay, it’s okay. It was just an accident. I didn’t mean to- I didn’t mean to startle you. Are you alright?”

“You know I love you very very much,” he said softly as the man held him. “And I’ve told men to fuck off for a lot less than this but I just... I know you’re a good person. I know you didn’t wanna hurt me. And I just want to ask you to never abuse the trust that I have in you, Cal. I’ll always be understanding, I can be flexible, I don’t need to have the last word all the time... but don’t bend shit so hard it breaks. Okay?” he murmured, pressing a soft kiss to his chest. “You still smell like twink, maybe you need another shower,” he joked, laughing softly.

do you wanna go the extra mile and pretend we’re strangers?

oooh. what should ken wear?

well, maybe... tonight i’m ken, and you’re clark and we’re fuck buddies and i’m on my way to do you real good?
