This was inspired by a comment of a guest I got here, "With whom will Nell go to the wedding?". I instantly started writing and lost a couple hours sleep bc of it, so I was kinda sleep drunk when I wrote this so I'm sorry if it's kinda out of character at some points lol. Also, writer's block is a bitch but I think we all know that by now-.
"You are never gonna believe what just happened." Nell stormed into Brian's and Eric's apartment, she had kept her key, and since Eric never asked for it she figured she was allowed to.
"Well, hello to you too." Eric chuckled at her entrance while he made two cups of coffee, but already grabbed one more for the analyst.
"I got asked out on a date." A smile beamed on her face, as she accepted the coffee that the blond handed her and sat down on the couch.
"Tell me more." Brian joined the conversation, softly resting his head on Eric's shoulder as the said man softly started humming along to the tune of 'Summer Nights'. The couple had watched the musical the night before, belting out every lyrics as they sang along to all the songs, but the sentence prompted to make one song come back to the blond.
"I met this really nice guy when I was on my way to your apartment. We bumped into each other, he spilled his coffee on me, kept apologizing and offered me to buy lunch sometime. He's really cute, and hot may I add, and I actually got his phone number so he could text me a time and date." Nell's words flung in the air as she kept on rambling, only pausing to take a breath after a few moments, before she got interrupted.
"Oh my god, you should totally ask him out." Brian took another sip of coffee, which almost seemed ironic to him now, seeing the auburn haired woman just got the hot liquid spilled on her about half an hour ago.
"I kinda think he did already, sweetie." Eric smiled at his fiance, (gosh, it was still so weird for him to call Brian that). "Do you need clean clothes?, you can have one of my sweaters if you want."
It was only now that Nell noticed the stain on her shirt, a sight of relief escaped her mouth as she saw it wasn't entirely ruined though, nothing her washing machine couldn't fix.
"I'll grab one for you." Before she could protest, Brian was up and running, leaving the girl alone with her ex-boyfriend.
"Nell?" Eric's voice was soft and gentle, like he was kind of afraid to speak up and form his thoughts into words.
"Yes, Eric?"
"I'm genuinely happy for you, he sounds like a nice guy." He smiled at her, maybe to put action behind his words, or maybe because he really was happy for her, he couldn't even tell.
"Thank you, it means a lot to me. You know I'm happy for you too." They stood up and moved towards each other, sharing a hug that meant more to them than they'd like to admit.
"Now, do you want a refill?" Eric let go and gently kissed her cheek before he grabbed her mug and made his way to the kitchen.
"Some tea would be nice, thanks."
"I'm back, here you go, honey. Now, what did I miss?" Brian announced his presence as he walked back into the living room, throwing one of Eric's blue sweaters at the woman on sat back the couch. Nell smiled gratefully in turn, quickly going to the bathroom to change before coming back and claiming her spot next to them once again.
"Nothing, really. What do we wanna watch?" Nobody even had to ask if they did, because the answer would always be yes. But the opinions for the next question were quite different.
"I watched this really good series the other day, search 'The assasination of Gianni Versace', it's so good." Nell countered her option, but apparently the technical operator wasn't on one line with her on that.
"Is that another one of your murder psycho death series? Because, sorry but no, we see enough dead at work."
"It is, but it's very good, Eric, come on!"
"I don't wanna see anyone get murdered, have mercy on me, please Rockstar."
As their argument went on, Brian didn't get involved, in fact, he looked up a show and started it without anyone's permission for it.
"You could have just said so if you wanted to watch this." Eric bummed his fist into the brunet's shoulder, earning a grin from the said man.
"Yeah, but the argument you had going on there was much more fun without me, didn't wanna get involved and might risk my head being taken off." Nell scoffed, but couldn't help the smile that appeared on her face as she watched the two men.
"Dumbass."
"But you love me."
"That I do, yes." Eric pecked his cheek before laying his head on the brunet's lap, softly humming when he felt fingers moving over his scalp.
"For the record, if this whole thing works out with that nice, cute, hot guy, you totally have to take him to the wedding. We'd like to meet him, and maybe accept him before he starts dating out precious lady friend." Brian smirked at Nell as he heard his fiancé chuckle from his position on his lap.
"Will do. Promise." The analyst laughed before turning her attention back to the screen in front of the happy trio, wondering back to something she said back in high school.
'Those stories about boyfriends of girls turning gay, I'm pretty sure that's gonna happen to me. Seems like such things that only seemed to happen to me.'
Well, she had to say it was true, but she couldn't think of something better than this that's ever overcome to her.
A few months later, the two husbands smirked knowingly at her as she entered the reception with the nice, cute, and hot man right at her side, holding hands as she went to the couple to properly introduce him.
