Disclaimer, I don't own anything Game of Thrones related.
Having been up late and drinking beer, Nigel slept soundly on the couch that night. Waking up the next morning, he sees Chad sitting in a chair, staring at him with a frown.
"What's wrong, Chad?" Nigel asks, curious to why Chad has such a sour look on his face.
"You said, it was only going to be four friends at that karaoke thing." Chad says, holding up Nigel's phone. Chad then reads text messages.
Hey Nigel. I hope I'm not bothering you, but last night was fun.
Abby recorded a video of us singing "Peace Frog" and I wanted to send it to you.
Chad looks back at Nigel, who looks incredibly nervous.
"Nigel, you know I don't like dishonesty." Chad says in a disappointed tone.
"It's not what you think. I didn't know Rachel was going to be there. Besides we didn't do anything, I'd never cheat on you. We were just singing a song as friends." Nigel replies, though Chad is not totally convinced.
"Did anyone else do songs as "just friends"?"
"Of course, Wally and Hoagie did, and so did Abby and Kuki. Why do you think I would ever cheat on you? What about me indicates that I would do that?" Nigel nervously responds. Chad sighs and hands Nigel his phone back.
"Okay. I just wanted to be sure." Chad replies.
"Sure of what?" Nigel curiously asks.
"That you know that you're mine." Chad answers.
"Of… of course I'm yours. I wouldn't have moved in with you if I didn't want you in my life." Nigel says in response. Chad then kisses Nigel on the forehead.
"Very good, Nigel. Tell you what. I got some errands to run today. Why don't you stay here, I'll come home with Chipotle and we'll watch the Game of Thrones marathon." Chad offers.
"I love you." Nigel replies, grabbing Chad's hand.
"I know. Here get some rest for now. I'll be back later." Chad tucks Nigel back in, shuts the door and leaves the apartment. When he leaves the apartment, his face sours again. "Rachel, you fucking cunt, you're not gonna take my Nigel from me." He says to himself.
Rachel is sitting in her apartment, she is slightly disheartened by the fact that Nigel hasn't responded to her texts.
"Mmm. Maybe I was a little too close to Nigel last night." Rachel says to herself.
She suddenly hears a loud knock at her front door, she gets up to answer it, to find Chad angrily looking at her.
"The fuck are you doing here? And why do you look so pissed?" Rachel says with a scorn.
"Did you have fun at karaoke last night, Rachel?" Chad asks sarcastically. Rachel stares at him dumbfounded, now realizing why Nigel didn't respond to her texts.
"Are you for real? You really can't trust him enough to spend some time with his friends? Are that insecure with yourself?" Rachel asks.
"You vicious fucking cunt. I'm not gonna let you manipulate Nigel into thinking he's better off without me." Chad threatens.
"You take his phone and look at messages for him. You make him ask permission to go out with friends in public places. You threaten people who are good to him, and keep him as an object. And I'm the cunt? Fuck you." Rachel replies, not showing any anger.
"I'm done with you. Stay away from Nigel, he's mine. You will NEVER get to be with him. If he wanted to be with you, he wouldn't be at my apartment waiting for me to get back to him with burritos." Chad says, attempting to make her jealous and cement the point that he wants Nigel to only be around him.
"Get off my fucking porch." Rachel bluntly states. Chad goes to leave, but briefly turns back around with a smirk on his face.
"Solution to your problem Rachel, therapy and a little self love. You'll be over Nigel in no time." He says in an effort to insult her. It works.
"If you show up here and talk to me like that again. I'll fucking end you." Rachel threatens.
"I don't have to come back. I got my point across." Chad says, getting in his car to drive off.
When he is gone, Rachel goes back into her apartment and breaks down in tears.
"I've gotta help him. Nigel's not safe with that piece of shit." She says to herself. She goes on her phone and finds an old photo of her and Nigel.
"If only I could tell you how much I love you, Nigel. I just wanna open up my heart to, so fucking badly that I could explode. Be happy, be safe. I hope to talk to you soon enough." Rachel says, clutching the phone close to her chest. With thoughts of having Nigel with her, she manages to calm down. Deciding to have a chill day, she changes into her House Stark clothing set; a sweatshirt, shorts, and fuzzy socks. She plops down on the couch and completely invests her mind into the show.
Arriving home later, Chad walks into the apartment with two massive bags of Chipotle. He sees Nigel waiting on the couch for him.
"Hey, come sit down. It's on the end of Season 2 right now." Nigel calls him over. His senses almost numb, Chad rushes over to the couch and jumps on top of Nigel.
"Woah, someone's rather…" Nigel is interrupted by Chad kissing him deeply and beginning to grope him.
Not in the mood, he pushes Chad off of him.
"What's wrong, you don't want me?" Chad asks.
"It's not that, it's just that I'm not in the mood right now.
I was just hoping for a quiet night in. Just you, me, delicious food, and good TV. Uneventful, just what I want." Nigel replies. Though it's not what HE wants, Chad agrees to it.
"Fine. I can deal with that." Chad says.
"Excellent, let's get changed in time for Season 3." Nigel says, rushing into the bedroom. He grabs his House Stark sweatshirt and sweatpants. He also grabs Chad's House Lannister sweatshirt and sweatpants. The two of them change and cuddle up on the couch and go to town on the burritos Chad picked up for them.
Nigel cuddles up to Chad, completely content with how his day is transpiring and entirely invested in the show. "Now THIS, is the perfect day. A night with my man, burritos, and my favorite show." He thinks to himself.
Chad is also happy with how the day is going. "At least Nigel knows he's mine and that I'm able to give him days like these. If only I never had to let him out of my sight, life would be perfect." He thinks to himself.
As night time comes around, Chad notices Nigel beginning to drift off to sleep. He turns off the TV after ten hours straight and carries Nigel into the bedroom, plopping the heavy sleeping man on the bed. After shutting off the lights, he climbs into bed with him and wraps around him.
I was originally going to have this just be a Chad and Nigel chapter, but I love writing chapters where Chad and Rachel get into arguments. Another story of mine where that happens is "War Pigs". I hope you all enjoy the story so far. The next chapter is going to be a Rachel focused chapter. Until that update, happy reading!
