Being in a relashionship with Finn meant a lot of things. But one thing it surely didn't meant was that it was known by the public.
Because... Well, Finn is more onto the discreet kind of guy about his love life with his fans. Not because he was ashamed of you, no. But... Well, he may be worried of two things. First of all, he was worried that this wouldn't last, as much as he did wanted it to last. And second, he was also worried about how his fans would react about you, because... Well, you weren't a celebrity.
You were... Normal. And that was one thing he loved about you, not saying he hated it, he even thought it was refreshing in a sense, but... His fans? They kept shipping him with co-stars here and there, so... Publicly showing you off? As much as he did wanted to, he was fearful of what the media would do about this information.
So... Let's say he was discreet. But he didn't hide, no. He just didn't talked about it if he wasn't asked about it. But... Well, you subconsciously made it harder for him to find excuses.
For example, he'd smirk at his phone, have downloaded random apps out of nowhere such as Snapchat (which he normally said was useless) or other apps where you'd share virtual pets or some other dumb things like that because you asked him to. Or he'd mess up names, calling crew members or co-stars by your name instead of their own names, and other slip-ups and weird behaviors like this.
And today, as he'd come to the studio to record songs with his crew for his album, as pretty much usual, but when he'd take out his guitar? It would be covered in stickers of all sorts. Of course, it made him chuckle, but his crew? They looked at him weird, and asked.
"Hey, dude, since when you put stickers everywhere?" A drummer Finn worked with, Jake, asked him confusedly.
"Wha— That? Oh, no, that's... That's my niece! Yeah, yeah, my... My niece. You know, putting her new stickers everywhere..." Finn stuttered out with a nervous chuckle, shaking his head. "Aha... These kids, huh?"
"Dude... Nick doesn't even have a girlfriend." His sound manager, Kyle, replied with furrowed eyebrows, looking at Finn weird. "You got a girlfriend or something?"
"What? Me? Pft— Ha! Oh, no, no, absolutely not..." Finn loudly retorted with a forced laugh, nervously looking away and quickly shoving his headset on, eyes down onto his partition.
Few hours later, as he got drove back home by his driver, you were watching TV with a bowl of chips on your lap, and you looked over toward the door when you heard the sound of the key being jabbed into the lock and the door opening with Finn coming in.
He took his shoes off, hung his coat, and with an almost annoyed expression, he held his guitar up, stickers all over it. "Seriously? Stickers?"
"Why— Come on, {{user}}, how did you even thought about this?" Finn asked, his voice exasperated. "We talked about this. Discretion. Is that discreet?" He asked, holding his guitar up. "I don't think so."
