For Better Or For Worse
[Chapter Nine]

"Nick, open the door." Kevin said as he knocked on the door.

"Hang on a second." Nick shouted and quickly pulled the floppy out and put it into the drawer beside him before opening the door.

"Yes, Boo?" Nick asked.

Kevin rolled his eyes and said, "Nicky, you call me by that nickname again and you are finished."

"Hey, what are you calling me every time then? Nicky? You know I hate that girlish nickname and I even hit Brian for calling me that." Nick said in a mock anger tone.

Kevin leaned in and kissed Nick on his lips. "Alright, only your pretty mouth has the right to call me that awful nickname. But if only I get to call you Nicky."

"Kev, don't you think it's kind of difficult to talk with your lips on mine?" he said, the words coming out muffled.

"Oh." Kevin moved back and blushed.

Nick smiled sweetly. "Just thought you might want to know. We have been together for less than 4 hours and you have kiss me for over twenty times already."

Kevin went up against Nick's body and hugged him tightly. "But I love kissing you!"

"So I guess several kisses a day keeps Boo horny all day!" Nick exclaimed.

"Horny, huh? I'll show you the reason why not to mess around with me!"

Nick screamed, knowing what Kevin wanted to do but it was no use. Kevin held on tightly to him and dug his fingers into his stomach.

"AAAHHH!!! LET ME GO!! HAHAHAHA!! BOO... HAHAHA... I'M SORRY!! HAHA... LET ME GO!!!"

Kevin could not help but roll onto the bed and burst out laughing. Nick dropped onto the floor and tried to remember to breath. The red glow appearing on his face from the after effects of the 'tickle attack' made him looked so adorable. And it was also part of the reason why Kevin loved to tickle Nick so much.

"That's it, Boo. It's not fair to use this method. You guys know I am ticklish and it's just SO NOT FAIR!" Nick whined.

"Well... Then you better learn to be a good boy." Kevin said, still laughing.

Nick rolled his eyes and stood up, walking to his bed and sat down beside Kevin.

"I thought you were cooking your healthy meals?" Nick asked, still feeling a bit breathless.

Kevin sat up and pulled Nick into his embrace with his back facing him, whispering into his ears, "Well, I guess luck is on your side today."

Nick turned his head and asked, "Why?"

Kevin put on a mock frown. "Seems like the food isn't quite happy with my mission to turn you into a healthy eating boy."

"Yes! I knew it! PIZZA!!!" Nick screamed, jumped out of Kevin's embrace and flew down to call for the pizza delivery.

"I'm never gonna understand this boy..." Kevin chuckled and followed behind.

...

"I don't care! That huge piece is mine!!!" Nick whined.

"I don't care either. If you wanna cut down on those cute fats of yours, you gotta cut down on this too. I let you eat junk food today because we had no choice. So stop whining."

Nick smiled a little at Kevin's description of his 'fats'. Then he pouted and sank back into his couch starring at Kevin, holding a can of coke in his hand. Kevin rolled his eyes and happily took a big bite off the pizza, leaving Nick starring in envy. When Kevin looked at Nick again the next second, he was looking back at him with those big puppy eyes that he could not stand.

Kevin put an arm across Nick's shoulder and pulled him nearer to him. "Come, take a bite. You know I can't take those eyes." Nick tried not to smile and pretended to be angry.

"Seems like someone isn't appreciating it. Okay, I'm going to finished it."

And before Kevin could take another bite, Nick grabbed the whole pizza out of his hand and sticked his tongue out at Kevin. "Ha! I got it!" he said and pushed the piece of pizza into his mouth. The full-blowned look of his cheek sent Kevin into fits of laughter, while he kept on munching happily.

----------
Nick's POV
----------
I have never seen Kevin laughed so many times and hard in a day. So, I can really have no doubt about his love for me. He loves me and that is why he could be so happy around me.

Now I finally come to understand why he is always the first to fight with Brian over sleeping in the same room with me. Of course, he fail every time because Brian and me just stick together like glue. He is also willing to play Nintendo with me but just not with the others. He wanted to be with me every possible moment.

I am so glad I found him.

But. Yes, there is a but.

There is Kristin.

Damn, I totally threw her out of the whole picture, like she never existed. Kevin and Kristin are about to get engaged soon. And now, this?

...

"Kevin-" he started. "Do you remember that there is Kristin?"

Nick's question hit him straight in the head like a big piece of stone being dropped onto his foot.


Oh god, how could he forget the women whom he had been with all through his ups and downs? Nick was all over his mind for the whole time and it made him so blind that he just simply kicked her out of his thoughts.

'Uh-oh, this is bad... Real bad.' Nick thought as he watched the confused look on Kevin's face. He wanted to open his mouth and say something but decided not to. He knew that Kevin needed the time to think.

The silence in the air was so dead.

Nick could felt a cold breeze blowing across the whole house as the hours are getting later and later. When he looked up at the clock that was above the wall, it read 12:45 am. He could not help but let out a yawn and Kevin finally spoke.

"You're tired?" Kevin asked, glancing up at the clock. "God, it's already so late. We'd better catch some sleep now." he said.

Nick went over to Kevin and kneeled down in front of him, placing his head onto his lap. "Boo, are you alright? If you have a change of mind, I am really okay with this... Maybe we should end this-"

"Shh... Nick, never." Kevin said and pulled Nick up into his arms. He sat him on his lap with his whole body leaning down against him and gave him a peck on his cheek as he slowly said the words over and over again, "Nicky, never..." After which, he started to sing a little song for him, "Love somebody, yes I do... Love somebody, eyes of blue... Love somebody, can't tell who... Love somebody and I won't tell who..."

Nick chuckled a little and slowly drifted to dreamland in Kevin's arms, with the soft huskily singing swirling around him.

[Author's Note: I learned that 'Love Somebody' song in my primary school choir and unless you want me to sing and record it... Don't ask me how it is sang!]
