First Kisses

Okay so I had what I thought was a good idea, please let me know what you think. I love nothing more than the build up followed by a first kiss in any book/film or anything really. Even real life, but lets face it, they aren't as good as scripted ones ;) ANYWAYS moving on. I had the idea of doing multiple one shots set amongst both seasons of the build up to and different ways Nick and Jess could have had their first kiss. There won't be many appearances of the other characters, but I will be doing a multi-chapter along side this. All the kisses will be in this one story, so as not to clog the New Girl page.

HERE GOES!

I DO NOT OWN NEW GIRL, THE CHARACTERS OR ANY OTHER BRANDS OR PRODUCTS MENTIONED.

*This is set after Jess said she wanted him, but they hadn't already kissed. They fought about being a gold digger and Jess stormed off*

Nick yawned and rubbed his eyes. He sat up and saw the threat of sunlight at the window beside the tv.

"Great". He whispered, realising he had fell asleep on the couch again. He tried to sit up, but after a double shift at the bar and two hours sleep he just didn't have the energy. He re-closed his eyes and rubbed his head on the cushions against his ear. He heard a door open, but refused to acknowledge the mystery roommate for fear of being forced to move.

In exactly three minutes and twelve seconds, Nick regretted his decision.

He heard a girlish humming sound from the kitchen area, and chocked slightly not wanting to see Jess looking sleepy. He turned over trying to convince her that he has merely coughed in his sleep. He now lay flat on his back, pretending.

Jess peered over the couch side wide eyed, but her expression softened when seeing a sleeping Nick. Jess put her glass on the counter from earlier that night, along with the papers she had finally finished marking. She crept around the sofa and crouched near the end Nick lay at. She leaned forward and let out a low and sad sigh. "G'night Miller" she said, and kissed him lightly on the forehead, lingering against his surprisingly soft skin. As she went to stand and leave Nick shot upwards from his false sleep.

Jess' mouth opened to scream but his hand darted for it, covering her lips and muffling her yell.

"MMMMGMMGMGMFMDM?!" She stated, before biting Nick's hand so as she could be heard properly.

He pulled it away, stroking the palm of his hand as he hissed "what are you doing?!"

"Nothing!"

"CLEARLY SOMETHING!" He loudly and angrily whispered, his hand flying in the air.

"shhhhhh! Shhh! You're gonna wake Schmidt!"

"What? That's not important! What are you doing?!" Nick repeated.

"Ugh- AHH!" Jess ducked and pulled Nick down with her, pulling them out of sight. She now had his mouth covered, shaking her head, her eyes wide.

He had pretty much landed on top of Jess, and looked puzzled until he realised what she had seen.

"- okay okay my hot chocolate! Give me five! I need to write a note telling the others I have a conference! No I'm not blaming you! Do you wanna make interracial madness or not? Okay- okay- bye!" Schmidt hung up the phone, and luckily didn't bother turning the lights on before attaching a scrawled note to the fridge and running out the door whispering 'parkour!'

Jess released her grip on Nick, and finally blinked in relief. They held their pose for a moment: Nick had his legs on the couch and his lower body thrusted up against Jess, who was lay on the floor from her moment of panic. Both knew they should move, but neither dared to suggest it.

"We should probably-" Jess began.

"Yeah, cause Winston-"

"-he's at... He's at work" Jess quickly interrupted, stammering at the thought of how needy she felt.

"Oh. Oh. Erm. Well-" Nick said, his heart pounding in his chest. Jess too felt her heart race, her breathing almost as heavy as his.

She was sure he had edged his face closer.

He was sure she did the same.

"Yeah. Yeah we should probably-"

"Yup, that's what we should. Yeah I'm probably squishing you" Nick said straining while pulling his body back up to the couch. Jess stood up and straightened out her front, glad of the dimly lit lounge because of how pink she had turned.

"Anyways I should be off the bed-" Jess scurried to the area near the front door. She had reached the iron door. She remember how Nick had grabbed her arm, and how close they were to kissing before an angry Sam appeared. She tried to quicken her pace, not wanting to think of Nick sexually in anyway until-

"-Jess wait!" Nick followed her and had grabbed the crook of her elbow causing her to squeal slightly.

As she turned her curls bounced and her eyes bulged with worry.

He instantly released her and rubbed the back of his neck as his head lowered.

"Uhhh Why did you kiss me Jess?" He said looking up.

"Ha. Heh. Hahaha it wasn't a kiss! It was a platonic and friendly 'g'night bro'!" She said, trying to fake laugh.

"Oh right. Erm, do you kiss the others on the head then?" He said, his face turning awfully turtle-like.

"Well yeah of course. Why wouldn't I? It's not like- Sometimes I do. Depends who is on the couch."

"Right. Okay then." Nick said, his teeth slightly clenched.

"Cool. Coolio. Night then." Jess said awkwardly hugging Nick, regretting her choice instantly.

He held her tightly, and she didn't mind. But the hug lasted too long in her mind, too long for friends.

"Night then"

"Mmm night"

Nick reluctantly pulled away, but upon reaching his door, he stopped in his tracks.

"I lied." Jess blurted out. She didn't mean to. She didn't want to. Everything worked the way it was.

"W-what?"

"It's not- it doesn't matter it's not important"

" no no it is Jess. It's really important" Nick said, his hand leaning against his doorframe, his head slightly turned over his shoulder.

"I shouldn't have said anything"

"For God's sake Jess! Please just tell me what you meant!"

"Fine! I meant- I meant that when I said I didn't want you-" Jess looked to the floor, bright red. She stood her back leant against the half closed iron curtain, refusing to look up.

"Jess- Jess?" Nick walked closer to her, and held her face in his hands. He saw tears glinting in her eyes, wiping them away with his thumbs he hushed her down.

"Hey hey! What's the matter?"

"Did you not listen?"

" of course I do. I always listen to what you say! My point is that's no reason to cry!"

"What do you mean? Of course it is! Look I always feel more. I always do. I can't help it I'm a-"

Nick didn't want to hear her finish. Although he loved the way she babbled, this was hurting him.

He closed his eyes and took the dive. His lips met hers quickly and to his surprise she didn't pull away. She didn't stop him. She kissed him back.

She kissed him back.

Jess. Didn't stop him.

Nick pulled back and looked at her. She didn't look like she regretted it. He leaned his forehead against hers and laughed breathily.

"What Nick?" Jess asked confused and slightly hurt he would laugh at a time like that.

"You know how many times I've tried to do that? And I completely messed it up."

"What? How did you-"

"-can I try again? I know it's weird but-" Nick pulled his head away. Jess looked confused but amused and nodded, biting her lower lip slightly.

Nick turned his head and crouched slightly, finding her lips and pulling her at her waist, so as her legs wrapped around his. He pulled the iron door closed and stumbled back against it. Jess' hands messed up Nicks hair, while his hands explored her back, finding she was wearing no bra.

While Nick tried to intensify the moment the door opened.

"Guys why is the big door closed?" Winston yelled, trying to open it but failing because of the weight against it.

"Nick? Jess? What did you do?"

"Erm... One minute!" Jess shouted back.

"Yeah erm the door kept jamming but I think I've got it now!" Nick yelled back, as he sprung Jess from his hips. He went to pull the door, but before he did he hastily stole a kiss from Jess' lips and smirked when he saw her go even pinker in the face.

The door slid open and Winston came through, looking at Nick's bed head and Jess' bright red complexion.

"Oh I'm so tired guys, who shut the door?"

"I did. Then I struggled to open it so I asked Nick if he could help me-"

"- at half five in the morning?" Winston asked, not accusing Jess but genuinely confused.

"I thought I heard scratching and panicked, sorry Winston"

"It's fine just- don't do it again unless Nick is here. Cause I ain't helping" and with that he waved a goodnight and disappeared.

"Well, we better get some sleep- I don't mean! I mean like separately?" Nick mumbled. Making Jess giggle.

"G'night Miller" she said, kissing his cheek.

"G'night Day."
