Gazzy P.O.V
Me and Iggy were laughing about something Fang had said to him earlier. Fang walked over to us and just stared at us for a minute.
"What are you laughing about?" Fang asked walking over to us.
"Nothing now that you're here." Iggy said. Fang stared at us again and then sat down next to me. "Whatever. What are you guys doing tonight?" Fang asked.
"Oh I was thinking about flying up into the toxic wasteland we call earth." Iggy said. "Nothing. Nothing at all."
"Same here." I said watching the door. Fang looked at me and looked to where I was watching.
"Are you sure because I think a whole night of watching the door would be a blast." Fang said. Iggy laughed and I punched him in the arm. "What's so special about the door Gazz?"
"Nothing. I'm just waiting for someone." I said looking back at the door.
"Who? Gazzy?" Fang waved his hand in front of my eyes and I bated it away. "Gazzy? Look at me." I looked over at him and of course that's when she walked in. Nudge was laughing and her cheeks were red. She looked over at us and caught me staring at her. Fang followed my eyes over to her and smirked. "I see. Someone has a crush on Nudge."
"Uh huh." I said following her with my eyes across the room, not really listening. Iggy started laughing and Fang did to.
"You like Nu-" Iggy started to yell, but I covered his mouth with my hand before he could finish. Nudge looked over at us from where she was sitting with Max and I blushed.
"Shut up." I said gritting my teeth. "She's right over there and I don't really want her knowing." I said. Iggy and Fang are both eighteen, but still like teasing me about girls. My phone dinged and I took it out. It was a text from Nudge that said "Meet me in the bedroom. I'll leave first and you leave second". I looked over at her and saw her stand up and walk out of the room. I got another text that said "Wait for a minute then leave".
"Who's that?" Fang asked, trying to see my phone. I pulled it away and turned it off. "Is it your crush?" Iggy laughed and made a kissy face.
"Next time I see you and Ella making out or you and Max making out I'm going to make fun of you right in front of them." I said. Watching their faces fall made me laugh. I stood up and walked out of the room to the bedroom.
I walked in and saw Nudge sitting on the bed. She look up when I closed and locked the door behind me. She smiled and stood up walking over to me.
"Gazzy I'm sorry about earlier. I shouldn't have done that especially right before I had a date. I ju-." I shushed her.
"Just a second." I opened the door making Iggy fall and Fang quickly stood up. "MAX." I yelled. I saw a door open and Max walking over.
"Yeah what." Max said.
"Me and Nudge are trying to talk and your boyfriend and brother are eavesdropping on us." I said. Max looked at them and dragged them down the hall with her. "She knows right." Nudge nodded and I closed and locked the door again. "Okay go on."
"I just didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable and I don't want us to lose our great friendship because I love our friendship and I think that we get along the most out of anyone in our flock. Besides Angel." Nudge finished.
"What? Sorry I didn't' hear that last part. I kind of stopped listening." I said. Nudge nervously laughed and I started to feel bad.
"I'm just really sorry Gazzy." Nudge said. She started to reach for the door knob, but I grabbed her arm and pulled her back. "Gazzy what are you doing?"
"Um what was the date like?" I asked nervously. "I mean did you have fun or, I don't know. Sorry I don't know why I care so much." Nudge blushed.
"It was okay. It wasn't the best. In short we aren't going on another date." Nudge said.
"Then why were you laughing when you walked in?" I asked.
"He dropped me off and I was walking back with my friend and she said something funny." Nudge said. "Gazzy why-?" Nudge started, but I had already gotten the answer I wanted. I kissed her. She pulled back and stared up at me. I smiled and captured her lips again. I felt her kiss back and I smiled. She wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling me closer then she put her hands on my chest and I felt her push me away.
"What?" I asked.
"We can't. We can't do this." Nudge said.
"Why?" I asked, the smile slipping off my face.
"How about your sisters going to kill me and you have a date tomorrow." Nudge said. I pulled her back.
"I can cancel that and Angel can't tell me who I can and can't date." I said annoyed.
"It matters to me." Nudge said. "The girl you're going out with is one of my friends and has liked you since sixth grade. Just go on the date with her." Nudge pleaded.
"Fine. If you don't want to do this then I'm fine with that." I said opening the door.
"Gazzy. Wait." Nudge said, but I closed the door and walked down the hall to Iggy's room where Iggy and Fang were.
"Hey." I said opening the door and sitting down in between them.
"So. How'd it go?" Fang asked smirking at me.
"It didn't go." I said smirking back.
"What you didn't get together?" Iggy asked sitting up.
"Nope. We kissed, but she didn't want to get together." I said putting my head in my hands.
"Why?" Fang asked. "She's liked you for the longest time." I looked up at him.
"Because I have a date with that girl Kat tomorrow and I guess she and Nudge are really good friends and she's liked me since sixth grade and Nudge doesn't want to lose their friendship." I said. Fang made an "ew" face and Iggy patted me on the back. "You two got lucky."
"I say go on the date and say that it isn't working out." Fang said. The door opened behind me. Fang looked up at the door. "It's Nudge bud." He whispered.
"Can you just tell her to go away or something." I whispered back. Fang nodded and got up. They talked and Fang came back over and sat down next to Iggy.
"Sorry." Fang said. I looked up and saw Nudge sit down next to me.
"Gazzy I'm sorry." Nudge said taking my hand. I took my hand away and looked away. "Gazzy." I heard her voice cracking. I turned back and looked deep into her eyes and saw the hurt I had left there and the tears streaming down her face.
"Nudge. It's okay." I said. I wiped away her tears with my thumb like I had done many times before when she would come home from a break up. I brushed the hair out of her eyes. She stared at me. "Nudge it's-." I started. She kissed me bringing her hand to my cheek. I heard Fang snicker and whisper something to Iggy who also snickered, but I didn't care. I kissed her back and started running my fingers through her hair. Fang got up and Iggy followed him out of the room. Nudge pulled back and rested her forehead against mine. "Should I still go on that date tomorrow then?" I asked
"If you want to." Nudge whispered. "But I think I'm willing to lose one friendship if it means you." Nudge blushed.
"Deal." I whispered. Fang walked back in and cleared his throat. Me and Nudge looked up at him. "Uh, dinner is ready. If you want it." He walked back out and I heard Iggy laugh. We got up and walked out of the room.
