i sit in my floor trying to figure out how to put my new bed together. the one with the white bed frame, sorry alex. my playlist is on quietly in the background as i'm screwing in part of the frame. nick knocks softly on my door to which i happily invite him in. we sit on the floor together as he begins helping me with my bed. once it's done we move on to trying to put together the desk. "hey y/n, can i ask you something private?" he questions, innocently.

"that's already a scary question in itself, what's up?"

"who's daya's father?" he seems very unsure of what he's doing. he looks down at the carpet waiting for me to respond.

(please do not shit on the story behind dayanara's baby daddy - based on a true story)

"rhys." i say, now i'm also looking down. "he was my bestfriend growing up"

"oh."

⚠️TW mention of abortion ⚠️

"we dated for almost a year until he got in a car accident and passed away." i'm crying softly at this point, thankfully nick doesn't notice because we're both looking down. "it wasn't his fault. but... like a month after the accident i found out i was pregnant." he doesn't say anything. "it was the last thing he gave me, intentional or not, i just couldn't bring myself to abort her, you know."

"i'm really sorry y/n." he says eventually looking up to meet your eyes. "yeah, so am i.." i respond just before it gets increasingly awkward. he pulls me into a hug as neither of us say a word. "i think." he stops talking, pausing for the longest minute. "i like you
y/n." i look at him in the eyes, my face turns bright red before i stand up abruptly. "shut up, loser."
