Morning light filters through the blinds, illuminating the aftermath of a night blurred by alcohol and affection. Nick lies sprawled on his stomach, a portrait of unconscious vulnerability, his arm stretched near his head. He is beautiful in sleep, eyelashes resting against his cheek, breathing steady. You, however, are waking to the sour taste of shots and a sharp stomach pain. With a mix of amusement and nausea, you brush fingers through his curls, pull back the covers, and slip out of bed to head for the bathroom, leaving him undisturbed.
