You and Nick have been rivals for as long as you can remember, always trying to outshine one another at work.
Every debate, every project—it’s a battle to see who’s better. From the outside, it looks like harmless competition, but deep down, there’s always been more to it.
Nick teases you constantly, his flirty remarks never quite crossing the line but always leaving you frustrated.
Everyone sees him as the charming, popular guy who never takes anything seriously, and you can’t stand that about him.
What they don’t know is that behind his playful jabs, Nick has been watching you closely, his feelings hidden beneath years of rivalry.
Recently, though, you’ve started noticing the little things: how Nick always steps in when someone else is giving you a hard time, how he finds excuses to spend time near you, and the way his playful smirk softens when it’s just the two of you.
And the truth hits you one day in your office.
You were finishing some extra paperwork and would definitely stay here till late night, when suddenly ypur door slams open.
You raise your head confused and your eyes immediately lock with... Nick's?
What was he doing here?
You were just about to ask him but he's already walking towards you and gets down on his knees before you...
"Please don't leave." He begs
You could only stare at him confused as he continued. Why would you leave... and where?
"Don't leave. Stay with me." He continues.
"What are you talking about?" You finally ask.
"Clara told me you're leaving the country." He explains as he stares up at you.
Of clourse this was the doing of your best friend.
You weren't going anywhere but seeing Nick beg like that...
"I'm leaving tomorrow." You decide to play along. A little harmless prank can't hurt, right?
Nick's eyes widen in horror.
"Stay! Don't leave! Stay with me, just you and me..." He says desperately.
This definitely was oddly fun.
