A Little Less Talk, & A Lot More Lovin'
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jay Kelso x Male!Reader
Romantic/Platonic/Unspecified
Pronouns: He/Him
Summary: Both you an Jay skip school, leaving you both home alone in the Forman basement. A little bit of weed and a lot of kissing later, both you and Jay are as high as kites.
TW's/Disclaimers: Making out, Weed, implications/mentions of boners, y/n and Jay being horny ig.
You exhale with a slight cough as you pull the, definitely not rolled properly, joint away from your lips. The basement air was thick with the smell of sweat and weed as you passed the joint off to your boyfriend who was staring down at you, your head resting on his lap.
"How you doin' up there pretty boy?" You look at your boyfriend who has a doped up smile plastered across his face. You were always the more tame one of the group when you guys smoked. Besides Ozzie, whenever he decided to opt out.
"Amazing." He bobs his head a little after he pulls the joint away from his mouth, placing it on the ash tray on the coffee table in front of him. He looks down at you and grins like an idiot. "Hey Handsome."
"Hey Casanova." You laugh. Jay stares at you with a far away look for a moment before leaning down and placing a kiss on your forehead. The kisses then being trailed down to your temple, your nose, and all the way to your lips. You hum into the kiss as he pulls your face closer by the nape of your neck.
You pull away with a whine of complaint coming from Jay. You sit correctly on the couch and look at Jay as you grab his hand, pulling him as a sign to move and straddle your lap. Which wasn't something you did often. Every time, Jay got to embarrassed and flipped you so you were straddling him.
But you wanted to tease him.
Reluctantly, Jay swung one of his legs over your hips. He avoided eye contact with the most absurd head motions, looking anywhere but you. You laughed and moved you hand to his hips, pushing them down so he wasn't hovering. They stayed there when Jay finally looked at you.
Jay didn't like straddling you because it made him feel small. But you did like feeling small. So giving him all the control was well in your favor. As well as his. It took him a second, but after sitting there for a moment and getting comfortable with the situation, you could visibly see Jay's confidence return to his face. His demeanor becoming more cocky and confident.
Jay grabbed your face in his hands, smashing his lips with yours. It was sweet and slow, with just a bit of tongue thrown into the mix. It was as if everything had fallen into place.
You both had only started dating near the end of summer, so 5 months into your guys' relationship, and out of all the kisses you had shared, this one takes the cake. You weren't sure why but something about this one just felt different, more slow and meaningful.
The kisses get heavier the longer it goes on as you hold Jay's hips, his chest pressing against your own. Jay pulls back a second. Only to grin at you and flip you both over.
"You little bitch-"
"Babe, less talking. More kissing." Jay nuzzles his head in the crook of your neck as he sucks and presses kisses to your neck. Not knowing what to do with your hands, you place them in his hair as his hands guide your hips to fully sit down on his lap. His kisses migrate to your lips, soft lips against yours, tongues brushing, and breath heavy.
Half-way through a kiss you hear the sound of laughter and footsteps as the gang comes rushing down the stairs. Both you an Jay quickly jump to separate, each of you grabbing a pillow to place on your lap as you put as much distance between you and him. You on one side of the couch, him on the other.
The gang makes it downstairs and the chatter slowly dies down when they see you both, awkward and red faced. Nikki is the first to say something.
"How are you guys already here? School just let out." She walked over to you guys and took one look at the joint in the ashtray before gasping. "Did you guys skip!" She threw her bag down and sat on the coffee table so she was right in front of you.
"Jay, bro, you skipped without me?" Nate leaned against the couch behind Jay but both of you just sat there frozen in place. Neither removing the pillows that lay in your laps.
Ozzie stepped up and sat in between you and Jay, no shame at all. He sighed and looked at everyone in the room, giving Gwen a knowing look, making them both smile evilly. Ozzie cleared his throat and grabbed both pillows covering yours and Jays laps.
"Observe. Boners."
Nate and Nikki gasped as Gwen and Ozzie smiled wickedly at each other. Both you and Jay stood up quickly as you reach for his hand.
"You want to leave? I think we should leave, let's leave." Jay rambled as you nodded your head, Jay pulling you away and out the basement door.
Tumblr media
I DID IT! When I tell you I RAN to make a list and find prompts for Nate and Jay when I finished the series. I remember watching "That 70s Show" with my sister when it was on Netflix and us being so upset when it was removed. :(

Been There All Along (Nate Runck x Reader)
Tumblr media
(there are almost no gifs of Nate and that makes me upset)
Fandom: That '90s Show
Pairing(s): Nate Runck x Fem!Reader, Past!Nate Runck x Nikki, Platonic!Gwen Runck x Reader
Trigger(s): some angst, breakup mentions, (seemingly) unrequited feelings, slight Nikki slander (sorry, it's only for the sake of the story), also some Nate's dad slander
Summary: Nate comes to you, one of his best friends, for comfort after Nikki breaks up with him. You console him the best you can without letting your true feelings slip, but you fail when you end up kissing him. This leads to you thinking you ruined your friendship, but luckily, Nate shows up to reassure you that that's not true.
Word Count: 2.09k
Point Place, Wisconsin.
Summer of 1996.
Location: Leia Forman's basement.
Being alone in Forman's basement wasn't a common occurrence, but it did happen on occasion. Like now, for instance. Jay and Leia were out on a date, and so were Nate and Nikki. When things like this happen, you usually have Ozzie and Gwen to hang out with, but today they wanted to sneak into the country club again.
So, it was just you in the basement, laying on the sofa, flipping through a random magazine to pass the time. That was until the one and only Nate Runck wandered in through the door. Instead of the dopey grin that was usually plastered on his face, he had a frown and watery eyes. This caused you to sit up straight on the couch and place your full attention on him.
He barely glanced at you before he spoke.
"Hey."
Just as you were about to ask what happened, the big jock practically threw himself into the seat next to you and laid his head on your shoulder. Instinctively you wrapped your arm around him and rubbed his arm, trying to help him however you could.
"What happened?" You asked him in a concerned whisper.
It took a few moments for Nate to respond, and it killed you seeing him this broken up about whatever was bothering him.
Not lifting his head from your shoulder, Nate mumbled a response.
"Nikki and I broke up."
You momentarily stopped rubbing his shoulder, his answer surprising you. You knew that Nate and Nikki have had a few disagreements lately, but you had no idea this would happen. They both seemed so in love, constantly making out and hooking up. You were tempted to ask Nate why this happened, but knowing how much he must be hurting, you just pulled him into your arms and hugged him.
"I'm sorry, Nate."
Nate hugged you back, squeezing you hard and burying his head into your neck. You always liked when he hugged you, he always felt like a giant, warm teddy bear. But it was hard to enjoy the feeling given the circumstances.
"We were talking about our futures. I wanted to be with her, and follow her to wherever she ended up going to college. And…she said she didn't want me to."
You could feel your shirt getting wet as Nate started crying. The sound broke your heart. You squeezed him tighter, rocking him in your arms to try to soothe him.
"I know you probably won't believe me when I say this, but it will get better."
"When?"
You wished you could give him an answer, one that could make Nate happy again, but you knew that wasn't going to happen. So you settled for an honest answer.
"I don't know."
You hugged him tighter before he pulled away, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand.
"I just loved her so much! I feel like my heart was ripped out of my butt."
You nodded sympathetically while he talked. He leaned forward and buried his head in his hands for a moment.
"Maybe I just didn't try hard enough. I could've tried to be better for her, try to make it work between us."
You immediately shook your heading disagreement.
"Nate, that is so not true! You were trying to make it work, she was the one who wasn't trying! You were a great boyfriend. You were loyal, dependable, sweet..."
You put your arm around his shoulders again to make sure he was paying attention to what you were saying.
"And Nikki is my friend, and she may be smart and everything, but I think she's an absolute dumbass to let you go."
Nate turned his head slightly to look at you, his eyes still glossy. He spoke to you in a slight whisper.
"You really think that?"
"Of course I do! I've known you for years, and I've never met a more amazing person. Any girl in the world would be lucky to have you."
The compliment made Nate give you a hint of a smile, which caused you to smile back.
"Thanks."
You both stared at each other for a little while, your smiles fading the longer you did. You felt some tension grow, and you couldn't help yourself from glancing at his lips. And it might've just been your feelings for him playing tricks on you, but you could've sworn you saw Nate glance at yours.
You weren't sure who began leaning in first, but the next thing you remembered was feeling his lips against yours. The kiss was soft as gentle, and his hand coming up to caress your cheek felt just as sweet.
Nate then abruptly pulled away, pulling you out of the moment and allowing the shock of what just happened to sink in. He then quickly stood from the couch and began walking backwards to the door.
"I, um..."
He stumbled over his words, running a hand threw his hair.
"I've got to go, I um...I need some time to think..."
After nearly stumbling over his own feet, he finally made it out the door, letting you sit with your thoughts.
Though honestly, there was only one through that kept on running through your mind.
'What have you done?!'
1 hour later.
Location: Jay Kelso's bedroom.
"Bro!"
"Bro!"
"Bro!"
"Bro!"
"Bro!"
"Bro!"
"BRO!" "BRO!"
Nate and Jay went back and forth like this for a while after Nate told his best friend what had happened. That is until Jay finally broke the cycle.
"So you are telling me that you and Nikki broke up, and not even an hour later, you and Y/N make out?!"
"You're making it sound worse than it is!"
Jay gave him a look.
"Okay, yeah, it is as bad as it sounds."
Nate let himself fall back on Jay's bed, rubbing his hands down his face in frustration.
"Do you, like, like Y/N now or something?"
"No!"
Jay gave his friend another look.
"...Yeah. Maybe? Dude, I don't know! I'm so confused."
Jay sat beside his friend on the bed, still trying to understand the situation.
"How did this even happen?"
"I don't know, bro. Nikki broke up with me, and I was really upset, so I tried to find Y/N to make me feel better."
Jay made a confused face.
"So you're saying that whenever you're upset, Y/N always makes you feel better?"
Nate nods. "Yeah."
He then makes a confused face and looks towards Jay.
"Do you think that means something?"
5 days later.
Location: Y/N's bedroom
You sat alone on your bed, allowing heartache to consume you. You haven't left the room since that day.
The day you kissed Nate Runck.
You couldn't bring yourself to hang out with the gang after what happened. You didn't know how to keep what happened to yourself. And you didn't know how you would react if you came face to face with Nikki, let alone Nate.
A knock on your window disturbed your train of thought and sent you sitting straight up on your bed. Once you saw it was only Gwen, your heart rate slowed calmed down a bit.
You went over to the window to open it for her, letting her come in.
"You could've just came in through the door."
Gwen shrugged with a smile.
"Eh, this is more fun."
She plopped herself down on the foot of your bed, making herself comfortable.
"So. Why have you been MIA the last few days?"
You didn't want to lie to her, but you also didn't want to answer her question. So you asked one of your own.
"How's Nate?"
"Well, I assume you heard about him and Nikki calling it quits."
You looked down at your carpet and nodded.
"He's pretty bummed about that, obviously. But I can tell that's not the only thing that's bugging him."
You gave her a worried look.
"Did something else happen?"
"You tell me."
You stayed silent, but Gwen kept on talking.
"He misses you. He's worried about you. We all are! I don't know what happened between you two, but you guys need to talk."
You sighed as you talked. "I wouldn't even know what to say."
"It doesn't really matter what you say as long as you actually talk."
You were silent again.
"Come on! You guys need each other! You both are clearly going through things, and whenever that happens, you're there for each other. That's how things have been ever since you guys met!"
You kept your eyes locked on the floor still. You responded with a mumble.
"I'm afraid he's upset with me."
Gwen laughed a bit.
"So? That hasn't stopped you guys from being there for each other."
She sighed and stood up with you.
"Remember when you first met Jay? You were so jealous of him becoming Nate's best friend you started being mean to both him and Nate."
You smiled a tiny bit, reminiscing about those memories as Gwen continued to speak.
"And then Nate got mad at you for being mean to them, so you guys didn't speak for a week. He was a mess without you. Then, his dad was supposed to visit, and then he cancelled last minute."
You remembered how sad you were for Nate, even though you were mad at him at the time.
"I called and told you and you came over right away. You guys hugged and acted like nothing ever happened. And just like that, you were happy with each other again. I don't see why you can't do that now."
You looked back up at Gwen, your eyes a little teary.
"I think this situation is a little more complicated than that."
Gwen put her hands on your shoulders, giving you a reassuring smile.
"You never know unless you try."
15 minutes later.
Location: The Forman's driveway.
You slowly walked towards the Forman household when you saw Nate shooting hoops in the driveway. You could tell he noticed you coming because his eyes lit up a bit.
He gave you a tiny, awkward smile.
"Hey."
You smiled back.
"Hey."
You both stood there awkwardly before speaking at the same time.
"I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry!"
Nate gave you a confused look.
"Wait, why are you sorry?"
You fiddled with your fingers while you spoke.
"I'm sorry for not talking to you. And I'm sorry for kissing you. You were very vulnerable and it was a mistake and I shouldn't have done it."
Nate was silent for a moment, processing your words.
He mumbled nervously. "You think it was a mistake?"
You mumbled back. "Don't you?"
He finally put down the basketball, letting it roll away. He stepped closer to you, acting a bit more confident than before.
"No. I don't."
His response stunned you, making you stare at him with wide eyes.
"It wasn't the best timing, but I'm glad it happened. Y/N, you have always, always been there. For whenever I was sad, whenever I was sick, whenever I was an absolute idiot..."
You wanted to correct him and reassure him that he wasn't an idiot at all, but you wanted to know where he was going with this heartfelt rant.
"No matter how things were, you have always been there for me. And it took me this last week to realize how important you really are to me."
Your eyes began to water at his words. Nate stepped a little closer to you, grabbing your hands in his.
"If you really think that kiss was a mistake, we can forget about it. But I want you to know that it meant something to me. And if you would give me a chance, I would like to give this a shot. Give us a shot."
You launched yourself into his arms and pulled down by the neck for a kiss. He wrapped his arms around your back, happily returning the kiss.
The first kiss you shared had been nice, but the way it happened wasn't the best. You hadn't been sure if the only reason you kissed was because you were both in the heat of the moment. You weren't actually sure if he reciprocated your feelings. But right now, with Nate holding you so close and smiling against your lips, you are finally certain about how he feels.
You've been there for each other all along. And you'll always be there for each other till your dying days.

𓍼˖📼ﻬ꜆🔅 LAVENDER HAZE.
ະ﹢📸⋆ nate runck x gn!reader
summary: you're not a fool, you know what you've seen. and you can't seem to figure out why she wants to ruin the gorgeous thing you and nate have going on.
warnings: nonconsensual kissing, light angst, anxious nate, comfort fluff, happy ending, mentions of violence
a/n: first part of my double whammy tonight, finishing the jess mariano fic ;) but i just love nate runck so much it's cray
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ending up with the most hopelessly romantic boy wasn’t something you saw yourself getting into, but you’re quite glad it happened. nate has to be the most spectacular, enthralling, and sweetest boy you’d ever met in your entire life. it was great when you two were just best friends, but the moment you realized you loved each other was perfect. jesse and celine had nothing on you and nate.
nate will tell everyone he meets that he doesn’t know how he got you, the person of his dreams. you think he forgets that you got to talk about your dreams for years before dating.
you weren’t one for violence, and you’d swear on your vamp red polish that you never incited a fight either. but that all was thrown out of the window when that bitch got in the way. just another point place girl to be forgotten after high school.
it was blatantly obvious that you were the responsible one of the relationship, but you never let that bring nate down. however, other people saw it as on opportunity to make jokes. nothing affected you if it was coming from your friends, but from other people? that pissed you off in a multitude of ways.
when it was leia’s second summer in point place, jay had the idea of throwing a party— but with more people than usual. the idea was to make leia seem like the mysterious girl who came and went, henceforth making your group of friends the cool people. so, jay invited more kids from school. somehow, the cheerleaders found their way to the party as well, which you guessed was due to nate’s extension of kindness, which you absolutely adored.
you were just talking with gwen and nikki in the kitchen, the three of you grabbing more sodas for downstairs, and twenty minutes had passed by, leaving your boyfriend stranded downstairs with the rest of the party, away from you.
“hey, nate,” the aforementioned boy felt a tap on his shoulder and heard a voice that wasn’t yours.
“oh, hi, shelby! having fun?” he flashed her a smile, completely innocent with absolutely no intent behind it. but obviously, she made something out of it.
“yeah, i am! where’s your little friend?” she asked him as she took small steps forward. shelby knew fully well that the two of you are dating.
nate’s eyes beamed. “oh, y/n! she’s upstairs, but she’s not my-“ suddenly, her hands were placed on his chest and she gave him the sickest smile he’d ever seen. and not sick in a good way.
“i’ve been thinking about you ever since that date we went on, nate.” he tried his best to recall a date, but nothing struck him. the only time they’d hung out was when they went to taco bell after a game— oh. was that a date? nate just figured she was hungry and happened to like burritos as much as he did. “have you been thinking about me too?”
nate tries to peel her hands off him, but she thinks he’s holding her hands and kisses him. nate, as confused as ever, leaves his eyes wide open in a plea for help, his arms flailing at his sides as she chases after his lips when he pulls away.
“get the fuck off my boyfriend!” everyone turns their head towards the stairs, where your body is stationed. shelby turns her head towards you with a look in her eyes. she’s quickly embarrassed but attempts to mask it with confusion.
“boyfriend?” she asks innocently. “oh my god, i didn’t even know!”
you march over to nate and take his hand, dragging him out of the basement and into the driveway.
“get into the car, please,” you ask him, watching as he tugs at the end of his jacket. he reluctantly obliges and gets into the passenger’s seat, waiting for you to get in as well. you look at him through the windshield. “i forgot something, i’ll be right back,” you tell him.
running back into the basement, the slam of the door alerts everyone who’s partying. the tension is palpable, and you swear you can see shelby scrambling for an answer in her head. she comes running up to you, her eyes pleading. “y/n, oh my god, i’m so sorry that happened! i really didn’t know-“
“it’s done with, right, shelby?” she nods quickly. “i just left something, don’t worry.”
“oh, what is it? need help finding it? i’m really good at that!” you smirk, knowing that shelby has no fucking clue what you’re really searching for, which is a reason not to hit her. too bad you can’t find it.
it happens quickly, but the action makes itself known as the ringing of a slap fills the basement, and shelby’s cry of pain makes everyone laugh where they stand. she covers her right cheek, but you grab her by the collar of her shirt before pulling her close to you, your eyes shooting daggers into hers. “it's not cool to kiss someone like that, especially my boyfriend. if you even do so much as breathe near him, i’ll make sure to stomp your head into the pavement. got it?”
with a pathetic ‘yes,’ you let go of shelby and head back outside where nate waits in the car.
he feels his heart racing at 100 miles per hour, his face getting hot and his palms beginning to sweat as soon as you get into the car. you start the car and just start driving, the silence making nate anxious. it wasn’t that you didn’t know what to say, it was just that you needed to calm yourself before starting the conversation. but nate can’t take it, and once you’re parked wherever you are (he really wasn’t paying any attention,) words itch at his throat and begin to spew out.
“y/n, i’m so sorry, i really am, i didn’t know-“
“nate.” your tone is snappy, a bit more snappy than usual, and nate’s eyes begin to well up with tears. noticing your mistake, you hold his hands gently. “shit, sorry. i’m not mad at you, okay? there’s no reason for you to be sorry.”
“but i-“
“no ‘buts’ nate, i know she kissed you. but i’m pretty sure that when someone waves their arms around with their eyes wide open, it doesn’t mean they liked it.”
nate takes a deep breath as you reach up to wipe away the tears on his face. “she made me feel really icky, babe.”
you sigh, trying to hide the anger that builds in your body. the breaking of nate’s voice is enough to make you want to run shelby over with your car. “i know, babe. but you don’t need to worry, okay? we’re not gonna see her again because i figured we deserved some d.q, if that’s alright with you?”
he leans into your touch as you hold his face under the moonlight and fluorescent lights of the dairy queen sign. “that’s fine,” he mutters, a small smile on his face.
noticing how he’s looking down at your lips, you give him a warm smile. “can i kiss you, babe?”
he nods eagerly, a smile finally returning to his face. “always,” and he leans over the console to meet your lips with his own, hands sliding to your waist and holding you flush against him.
and to seal the deal for the night, you and nate steal kisses in between eating your respective peanut butter oreo and chocolate extreme blizzards.

After watching that 90s show I felt like getting back into writing, so this should be up in a day or two. I just love Nate, he's such a cute himbo!

Guess who’s back!
It’s been years so let’s get caught up shall we?
Billy Hargrove x reader is officially cancelled, sorry y’all :( It’s been on hiatus for so long I don’t remember what the goals for the storyline were.
I can’t promise to be super scheduled due to work and also chronic illness, sometimes I just don’t have enough brain function to write.(but hey we have more answers about my health now then we did back then so we shall see)
My writing is a little rusty so bare with me as I get back in the swing of things:)
As of right now I am only writing for a few fandoms due to hyper fixations and so I don’t get overwhelmed. The list will grow eventually but I wanted to start small and doable. I only do x readers gender neutral or she/her pronouns (if my writing gets better I may be able to open it up to he/him as well) I will also write fluff or smut (or angst turned fluffy but not only angst)
As of right now I will write for:
STARDEW VALLEY
Shane
Sebastian
Alex
Abigail
THAT 90S SHOW
Nate Runck
Jay Kelso
Once I get more comfortable I will be able to write for more shows/characters and once my hyper fixations for these have been met. Requests are always open, I will try to get one request out a week(if they exist) and one of my own stories every two weeks. I haven’t decided if I will be reposting these on ao3 as of now but in the future I see it as a possibility. It’s mostly going to be one shots and/or head cannons but eventually we will get some full on stories going.

is there any way u can make a fic with nikki from that 90s show x reader it can be anything there’s just not enough of her lmao thank u
Reassurance
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nikki x Male!Reader (+Nate Runck)
Romantic/Platonic/Unspecified
Pronouns: He/Him
Summary: After Leia leaves, the truth about what happened between her and Nate the day she left gets revealed, a guilty Nate coming to tell you all about it. But in his attempt get his guilt off of his chest, Nikki over hears and runs away in tears. You go to comfort her.
TW's/Disclaimers: Mentions of cheating, Nate and Nikki break up, the kiss between Leia and Nate DID happen, this takes place after 01x10. !!THIS IS JUST MY INTERPRETATION OF WHAT THE BREAK UP WOULD LOOK LIKE PLEASE!!
You were sitting in your room waiting for Nikki to show up. You had both planned to hang out an watch a movie, to ease the sadness of Leia leaving.
Leia had left around 2 hours ago and everyone was still a little upset about her leaving. You never really got the chance to get that close with Leia. You were out of town visiting family the first half of summer so you didn't get to meet Leia until late June.
You sigh and sit up from your spot on your bed, looking around your room aimlessly. You were bored, was the short answer. What was taking Nikki so long?
"Y/N! SOMEONE IS AT THE DOOR FOR YOU!" Your father screams from downstairs. You hop up and run down the stairs, yelling a quick 'thank you' to your father as you do so. You swing open the door expecting to see Nikki but instead you see her boyfriend. Nate. Your best friend.
"Oh, hey Nate. Is Nikki with you? I was waiting for her." You blink in surprise as he walks through the door, you closing it behind him.
"No, uh, Nikki isn't with me. I've kind of been avoiding her." He messes with the skin on the side of his finger nail as he stands there. You can tell he's nervous. No... nervous isn't the right word. Anxious? Jumpy? For lack of better words, he looked terrified. Like he was a puppy who got yelled at by his owner and ran away with his tail between his legs.
"Nate, are you alright?" You walk over to him and place a hand on his shoulder, making him look at you. He shakes his head, his eyes glossing over slightly with small tears of guilt.
"I messed up, Y/n. I messed up so bad." You bring him into a hug while he slows his breath, trying not to cry. After a minute he pulls away to allow you to lead him to the living room while you headed to the kitchen.
You grabbed a water bottle from the fridge and headed back to the living room, handing the bottle to Nate who was now sitting on the couch. You sat next to him on the couch and turned you body to face him as he chugged the water bottle.
"Nate, mind telling me what happened?" He finishes the bottle off and sets it on the floor next to his feet. He looked at you and you watched as his lip trembled slightly.
"I-" he paused. "I kissed Leia." He closed his eyes and prepared for the blow. You sat there with your mouth hung open slightly, eyes wide.
"Nate, I'm- I'm at a loss for words.' You shook your head in shock while Nate continued to look away from you. "Why and how could you do this to Nikki?" You looked at Nate who was about to say something when you both heard a creak from behind you. You both turn to look at the doorway of the living room, only to see a teary-eyed Nikki standing in the doorway. Nikki shakes her head as a few tears roll down her cheeks.
"I can't believe you Nate." She turns, quickly running to the front door, a slam being heard seconds later.
"Nikki wait-" Nate attempted to run after her but you put your hand on his chest to push him back onto the couch.
"No, Nate. You upset her, you do not get to comfort her." Nate tried to stand up again but you pushed him back onto the couch.
"But I need to talk to her-"
"NO! Nate, look, I love you. You're my best friend. I will always love you. But right now, you hurt Nikki, and now she's off to who knows where with a broken heart and probably about to do something stupid, and I need to be there to pick up the pieces. Cause I know damn well no else will." You grab your hoodie from the back back of the couch and slip it on. You look at Nate who is sitting there, eyes teary and hands shaking. You sigh and kneel in front of the boy.
"Nate." He doesn't answer. "Nate." He looks up to you and you grab his hands to stop them from shaking. "Everything will be fine. I'm not saying everything will be okay, or go back to the way it was, because it can't. And it's not okay. But that's not anyone's fault. Not yours, not Nikki's, and not Leia's. Life moves on, okay? You can stay here for a little bit if you want but you should go home." Nate thinks for a moment and nods. "I'm sorry for yelling. I'll see you tomorrow."

You had been searching for a while and couldn't find any sign of Nikki anywhere. You went to her house first and asked her father if she had come home. He got worried thinking she was missing so you came up with the lie that she had forgotten something and said she would go home and get it. Long story short, she wasn't at home and you had basically searched this entire town.
When you left you had opted to ride your bike instead of walking, so as you peddled down the street you caught a glimpse of the water tower over the tree line.
'Of course.'
Going down the path you had to chain up your bike, to avoid hitting any rocks or losing control on the steep hill. You walked down the hill carefully, picking up speed the closer you got. You stopped when you reached the bottom of the water tower and looked around for a minute. After deducing that Nikki was not at the bottom you sighed and headed for the ladder, starting to climb.
You finally reach the top moments later, your head poking over the top of the ladder. You see Nikki sitting with her back up against the water tower, looking out over the railing at the sky, tears slowly running down her cheeks. You frown and move up the ladder more.
"You can't stay mad at him forever ya' know." Nikki jumps to wipe the tears off her face but stops when she sees it's just you. "You don't have to forgive him, but you will have to talk to him at some point." You climb up the ladder fully and sit next Nikki, putting ample distance between you and her.
"I don't want to forgive him or talk to him. He can fall in a ditch for all I care." You frown and look over at Nikki.
"You don't mean that." Nikki shakes her head as a few more tears slip past her eyes.
"No, no I don't. I just-" She stops to regain her breath and continues. "I just can't believe him. I mean, was this my fault? I mean a couple days ago we did have this argument over college, and what would happen when we go back to school. He wants to focus on football and I want to focus on my grades. I may have told him that when I go to college I don't want to be in a relationship but that doesn't give him the right to ago and kiss someone he met two months ago! I mean, Leia was going to leave eventually, what made her a better choice than me?" Nikki takes a breath and sighs.
"Well, you did essentially tell him that you were going to break up with him sooner or later. Not saying what he did was right, but I think self consciously, he didn't want you to break up with him, so he did it first." Nikki looks down and stays quiet, so you take this as a sign to keep talking.
"Look, Nik, Leia was torn up about Jay and Nate was freaking out over you. I guess in the moment it felt like they were filling voids neither you or Jay could fill at that point in time. Maybe this whole summer of romances was just, summer fun, or maybe, they were 'right person, wrong time' types of situations. But all I do know is that whatever happens, we can get through it. Nothing is stronger than this friend group. We have been through a lot of heart break these past two months and I think we all deserve a break."
"But I want to be the one to fill the void that I made. He should have come to me if he was worried." She gets up and leans her elbows on the railing, continuing to look out over the tree line at the sky. You could see the tiniest bit of sun peeking over the tree tops.
"Maybe he was scared. But Nikki you have to talk to him or else nothing will get better. You'll both in the dark and I don't want the friend group to suffer because of it." You stand up to stand next to Nikki, your arm going to rest around her shoulders. "I love you guys to much to see this friend group fall apart." Nikki shifts to look at you and smiles, resting her head on your shoulder.
"I love you guys too. Whether I say it or not."
"You should tell Nate that" She looks to you with wide eyes and then thinks for a minute.
"Okay, I'll talk to him."
"There's my girl."
