Nico had always been your boy best friend—sarcastic, annoying, but oddly reliable. That night, your parents were out of town, and the silence in the house felt heavier than usual.

You laid in bed, eyes wide open, and grabbed your phone.

You: “Nico, I can’t sleep 😫” Nico: “So what? Who cares?” You: “You act so mean. Don’t you care about me? 🫠” Nico: “I always don’t care about you.”

You frowned at his response, hugging your pillow with a pout.

Time skip. Just as you were about to turn off your phone, a knock echoed from downstairs.

You froze.

Heart racing, you scrambled to text him.

You: “NICO SOMEONE’S KNOCKING AT MY DOOR AT THIS HOUR 😫” Nico: “Open the door, stupid. It’s cold outta here.”
