how you met ;
↳ your family surprised you with a trip to disneyland during the summer of tenth grade
↳ you wanted to go on tower of terror, your family did not
↳ you sat down next to a boy with nice hair and a cute nose
↳ that boy, was nicholas hamilton. He was in california whilst visiting wyatt oleff two months before 'IT' was to come out
↳ "i've never ridden this one" you grinned, excitedly.
↳ "hehe, me neither" he laughed nervously. you were suddenly aware of the blonde boy's australian accent.
↳ without any warning, the ride shot down. you both screamed at the top of your lungs.
↳ after the ride, he offers to take you to get groot bread (because nic loves wyatt) and you get to talking, and end up spending the whole day together

awkward crush moments ;
↳ the day after you and nic met, he suddenly had to go back to australia with no warning.
↳ you awoke happily, you thought you had plans with nicholas until you check your phone
↳ at about lunch time, he called you. what you hadn't known was that he had been throwi
ing the 'terrifying' idea around for hours.
↳ "hey"
↳ "hey"
↳ "this... this is nic by the way- and you already know that"
↳ "yup"
↳ "help me out here"
↳ "what's up down under?"
↳ "it's stupid..."
↳ "well now i really want to know"
↳ "my dog vomited and my parents freaked and needed me home... i think they just missed me though" nic chuckled a warm chuckle (santa clause)
↳ "oh my god, is el doggey okay?"
↳ "yes, doggey is okay, love. I MEAN-"
↳ "...what did you say?"
↳ "nothing, i uhhh my dog just puked again"

how they confess/ask you out ;
↳ you guys are on facetime and he tells a dumb poop joke that catches you by surprise and you begin laughing hysterically
↳ nic smiles wildly at your adorable giggle
↳ "you're so cute when you snort" nic said
↳ "you're so cute" you thought you were both joking
↳ "yeah well you're prettier"
↳ "you're- prettier"
↳ "but i have a crush on you"nic said in the same tone that you had both kept throughout the debate.
↳ you froze
↳ "oops, friendship ruined" nic uncomfortably snickered.
↳ "not really. i mean i also have a crush on you. that's not correct grammar, eh?" you tried to sound casual
↳ "i believe it'd be 'i have a crush on you, too' "
↳ you exchanged smiles during a nice silence before nic continued telling you about owen teague almost shitting himself

first kiss ;
↳ you had flown -by yourself- all the way to australia to visit nicholas hamilton, your friend/kind of boyfriend. yes, you liked each other, you only talked about it once and continued from that point on as friends.
↳ once you landed, nic had texted you 77 times, saying that he couldn't wait to see you
↳ the doors from the airplane tunnel-ish thing were opened. You looked around and almost instantly saw him.
↳ he was standing 60 feet away, with his hands stuffed in his pockets and foot tapping nervously.
↳ you calmly approached the tall boy. once he noticed you (which happened quickly) his face lit up, brighter than anyone had ever seen
↳ he stood there with that goofy mouth-open smile
↳ he wrapped his arms around your back and pulled you as close as he possibly could, then set his chin aloft your head
↳ you pulled away from the hug and looked up at him. He bent his neck down and slowly placed his lips on yours
↳him slipping his tongue into your mouth early on, surprising you
↳you had to pull away, blushing furiously since you were in a public place
↳he pouted, making you give in and lean into him to finish what he'd started
↳the second kiss was a lot simpler, due to your uncomfort with the previous one
↳but still, it was nic, he held your face in his hands and deepened the kiss until he thought you'd be uncomfortable
↳when you pulled away, he wrapped an arm protectively around your waist, making you grin smugly
↳ "ready?" he asked.
↳ "ready." you then set off, out of the airport, and into nic's car.

how they hug you ;

nicknames ;
↳ yours for him: cutie/babe
↳ his for you: love/babe

first i love you ;
↳ during your first day in australia, nic insists on taking you out for lunch. Of course, you're experiencing intense jet lag.
↳ "c'mon we need to get some food in you" nic laughed as you almost face plant onto the cement before you.
↳ he finally gives in and takes you back to his house (hey there get outta the gutters don't ya know bob gray's in there?!) for a nap
↳ you plop onto his bed after removing your shoes then melt onto it.
↳ nic watches as you attempt to fall asleep
↳ "come hereeeee" you whine, so he does.
↳ he wraps an arm around you and pulls you onto his chest. you wrap a blanket around the two of you as nic plays with your fingers
↳ "nic?"
↳ "yes, love?"
↳ "i love you"
↳ pause as he takes it in
↳ "i love you, too" he kisses your nose

↳ "y/n" he throws another kernel
↳ "y/n" and another

↳ "i miss you"
↳ "wha- i'm right here"
↳ he randomly plops down on the couch beside you and peppers kisses all over your cheek and neck
↳ you giggle at his teasing and give in, pretending to be annoyed with the boy you love
↳ balling the front of his shirt in your hand and using it to pull him towards you, a large grin sitting on his face the entire time
