A/N: This request took me a while longer than I initially thought it would. Hope you like it! 😊
Hannah lazed on the couch, carelessly scrolling through Netflix in an attempt to find something to watch. Her plan for the day was simple; relax and watch Netflix all day. She had even told her friends not to bother her today, as she just wanted to stay home and relax. However, just as she stopped on her favorite film, her phone buzzed beside her. At first, she ignored the it, but soon after her phone began buzzing again. She grumbled as she grabbed her phone and noticed the text messages on her screen.
Nick 🤪 I know you said that you didn't want to be bothered today, but I'm bored and want to hang out with my best friend. 🥺
C'mon Hannah, it's such a nice day today, we could go to the beach?
Hannah couldn't help but smile as she read the messages. Her and Nick had been best friends for years, and she'd be lying if she said she didn't see him as anything else. Lately, she had started noticing things about him that she hadn't before, such as how his eyes would sparkle when he'd smile. She couldn't pin point what specific event made her view of Nick change, but he had gone from being her best friend, to being someone she couldn't stop thinking about. Knowing that she wouldn't be able to say no to Nick, she turned off her TV with a sigh before replying to his text.
Hannah 😇 Fine, but I hope you realize that I have up my favorite movie for you. 😒
Nick 🤪 You're the best Hannah, I'll pick you up soon. 😘
Hannah blushed at his choice of emojis, before shoving her phone into her pocket. She proceeded to change into a bikini and slipped on a shirt and shorts over it, as well as pack a bag of beach essentials, before leaving the house and locking the door. Just as she finished locking up, she felt arms wrap around her from behind and lift her off the ground slightly. She squealed before scrambling out of the stranger's arms and whipped around, only to see Nick doubled over in a fit of laughter. "Gotcha." Nick managed to say through his laughter. Hannah fought the urge to smack Nick upside the head. "Remind me why I gave up my relaxing day for you, again?" Hannah groaned as they began making their way to Nick's car. "I'm going to go with the fact that I'm your best friend." Nick responded as they climbed into his car and he began driving towards the beach. "No comment." Hannah joked, as she turned to look at him as he drove. God, why does he have to look so good all the damn time? She thought to herself as she watched how he focused on the road as he drove.
When the arrived at the beach, Hannah grabbed her bag of beach essentials and the duo made their way down the beach making small talk, until they found the perfect spot to set up their towels and other essentials. Hannah had noticed how Nick was constantly stealing glances at her, but she opted to push the thoughts of him somehow feeling the same way she did out of her mind. There was no way he could possibly like her; the mere idea was impossible for Hannah to comprehend.
Once everything was set up, Hannah slipped off her shirt and shorts, leaving her in her bikini. She reached into her bag and pulled out some sunscreen, and began lathering herself in the it. However, as hard as she tried, she couldn't quite fully cover her back in the sunscreen, so she turned to Nick for help. "Hey, do you mind putting some sunscreen on my back, I can't reach?" She asked, holding the sunscreen out to him. He nodded before taking the bottle from her hands and went to stand behind her. Hannah moved her honey colored hair to the side to give Nick better access to her back. As Hannah felt his warm hands rub her back as he applied the sunscreen, she couldn't stop the blush that crept up her cheeks. She became increasingly flustered, which didn't go unnoticed by Nick. "You okay there, Hannah?" He asked teasingly, a small laugh escaping his lips. "Yup, I'm fine! Perfectly fine!" Hannah squeaked out, desperate for him to get his hand off her back so that Nick wouldn't get suspicious and find out about her feelings for him.
Once Nick finished applying the sunscreen to Hannah's back, she tried to change the subject. "Last one in the water's a rotten egg!" She exclaimed before taking off towards the water. Nick quickly jogged after her. "No fair, you could have given me a warning you know!" He yelled after her, which made Hannah laugh as she hit the water first. Nick hit the water seconds after her, and immediately began splashing her with the water. "That's what you get, cheater." Nick joked as he splashed her. Hannah giggled and began splashing him back. After a few minutes, Hannah conceded the water war. "Okay, okay! You win." Hannah laughed as she held her hands up in defeat.She ducked under the water quickly before coming back up. However, when she resurfaced, she was face to face with Nick, her lips mere millimetres away from his.
Neither of them said anything; they both stared at each other. Nick noticed a lock of Hannah's hair had fallen into her face, and reached out his hand to tuck it behind her ear. The blush was evident across her cheeks at this point. The next thing Hannah knew, his lips were colliding with her own. The shock of the situation faded quickly, and she wrapped her arms around his neck and returned the kiss. His arms wrapped around her waist, as he deepened the kiss.
When they pulled away for air, Hannah's shock returned. "What was that for?" She asked breathlessly. "I've wanted to do that for so long, Hannah. I wasn't going to act on it, but after the sunscreen incident, I figured you might feel the same way." Nick replied with a shy smile. Hannah's cheeks turned even more red as she processed what Nick said. "You like me?" She asked incredulously. "Of course I do Hannah, you're practically my dream girl." Nick said as if it was the most obvious statement he'd had to recite. When he noticed that Hannah was still in shock, he continued. "I know we've been best friends for years, but I would really love to call you my girlfriend?" He asked, his nerves finally catching up with him. "I-I'd like that a lot." Hannah responded when the shock wore off. Nick's smile brightened immensely at her reply. "So does that mean I can kiss you again?" He asked as he pulled her close. Hannah didn't respond, she just leant up and pecked his lips. "Does that answer your question?" She joked. Nick grinned before pecking the top of her head. The couple spent the rest of the day at the beach, enjoying each other's company.
