8. Dessert // Nurseydex

« {Part 8 of my Valentine’s collection.} » 

a/n: In which Nursey is a sap. Basically I’m giving Nurseydex their Zimbits moment. Pie is involved.

“…You don’t know how to peel an apple, do you?”

Nursey whipped his head up to see Dex staring at him, an eyebrow raised. They were in the kitchen trying to make a pie for Ransom and Lardo’s birthdays, and it was going pretty okay—but definitely not thanks to Nursey. He’d been trying to peel the same apple for the last five minutes. “Um,” Nursey said. “Well, I’ve never had to, you know, peel stuff before—”

“It’s literally not hard,” Dex said. “I’d chirp you about how helpless you are, but I really just want to get this done. Let me show you.”

He stood at Nursey’s side, took the apple and the peeler, and started to demonstrate. “See?” he said, gripping the peeler tight in this long fingers. He shucked three long strips of apple peel into the sink and then handed the tool and the apple back to Nursey. “It’s not hard—you’re just incompetent.”

“Well thanks, that’s a relief,” Nursey said. Dex hip-checked him, and he hip-checked back.

“Since when are you so good at baking, then, huh Dex?” Nursey asked quietly after a moment or two of silence. “I remember you dissing baking back when we were frogs—”

“We’re still the frogs, Nursey.”

“Yeah, I know, I know. I just… Now it seems like more often than not you’re the one helping Bitty bake,” Nursey said. “What changed?”

Nursey: you're cute when you're mad.

Dex: I'm always mad.

Nursey: I know.

Dex:

Nursey:

Dex: oh

[pointyderek]

it’s weird because sometimes, nurse pictures his future with dex. like, he wonders if they’ll wear matching suits at their wedding and what they’d name their kids and what kind of jobs theyd have and it makes him happy.

and then there are times when he’s like “dex ate the rest of my nachos we are done.”

must’ve been born with two right feet

Nursey doesn’t usually go to these things alone. He can usually find a date - or at least a friend - to make everything a little less awkward. This is Jack and Bitty’s wedding, though, which means that all of his friends are already here. It also means that the only person he would want to bring as a date is already here, too, looking unfairly dapper in his grey suit.

He’s jumping around on the dance floor with Chowder and Farmer when the DJ announces that she’s switching over to a slow song, and he ducks out to sit down at the table.

He doesn’t mind sitting and watching the couples dancing, Chowder lifting Farmer off her feet to spin her around, Ransom with his face tucked into Holster’s neck, Jack leaning down so his forehead rests on Bitty’s, but he’s spent the whole damn day fantasizing about what might’ve been if he had the balls to just ask -

“Do you want to dance?”

He hadn’t planned to propose that day.

For once in his life, Dex didn’t actually have a plan. Not a concrete plan.

He’d bought the ring a few weeks ago, and was waiting for the perfect moment. Derek deserved perfect. He deserved sunsets, and rose petals, and poetry, and expensive champagne. He deserved perfection.

But as they were sitting in the kitchen at 3am, eating pancakes, and Nursey was laughing at his own pun, Dex was struck by how much he loved this man. How he couldn’t live without him anymore.

“Marry me.” he blurted out suddenly.

Nursey went silent. The only sound in the kitchen was the refrigerator and Dex’s racing heart.

“What?”

“Marry me. Will you marry me?” Dex clarified.

“Seriously?” Nursey asked. He looked surprised. Which, understandable, Dex figured. But also happy.

“Stay there!” Dex said, jumping up from his chair. He ran upstairs and grabbed the ring from where he’d hidden it. He ran back downstairs to find Nursey frozen in place, his knife and fork in hand still.

“Nurse. Derek. Dere.” Dex stumbled out, as he opened the ring box and got down on one knee. “Will you-?”

“Yes!” Nursey said grinning at him.

“At least let me finish babe!” Dex laughed, as he took the ring out of the box.

“You already did.” Nursey pointed out laughing. Dex put the ring on his finger, grinning as he did.

“Ok. Point.” he laughed. “Sorry its not more romantic or anything-”

“Its perfect.” Nursey said between kissing Dex “Absolutely perfect.”

Nursey: I wasn’t THAT drunk last night

Dex: You flirted with me all night

Nursey: So? You’re my boyfriend

Dex: You asked me if I was single

Dex: And cried when I said I wasn’t.

I am SO SORRY for ditching for the past 1.5 weeks. This finals season was AWFUL, so I turned off all social media. I had to redo 10 weeks worth of research in 1 week and in the middle of writing my final draft we had a campus-wide power outage for 3 hours, and I straight up failed my organic chemistry exam the next day.

But! It is over now, I have slept for the past 3 days (and done jury duty wooo i’m an adult what the fuck is this). AND I LEAVE FOR GERMANY FOR MY INTERNSHIP ON TUESDAY. As I said, I’ll be in Heidelberg doing liver cancer research for 3 months!! If anyone lives in / has been to Germany and has recommendations about places and cities to visit and things to do that aren’t cliché touristy activities, please let me know!!

AND WHAT THIS ALSO MEANS IS THAT I’LL HAVE TIME TO FINALLY FUCKING GET TO ALL THE WRITING I’VE BEEN MEANING TO DO FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS (and hopefully get out of this AWFUL writing rut). I am fucking ECSTATIC to be able to get back into all of this. Looking forward to diving head-first back into the bottomless pit of omgcp and NurseyDex appreciation and creativity!! You guys are all awesome and thank you for not hating me for my hiatus. And also, MASSIVE thank you to everyone who messaged me / sent me advice. I know I said it before, but you guys really helped me through a lot of shit.

Let’s fucking do this.

Hurricane by P!atd is like the perfect song for those headcanons where Nursey and Dex fight and end up sleeping together and I think about that a lot

this is SO TRUE. Nursey patrol gets forgotten about once and Nursey sends this to Dex and first thing next morning, Dex throws his phone at Nursey.

Whoa where and who did you get your icon from? I'm in love

i LOVE my icon. The original art is from the amazing @gvall but sadly the link for the original isn’t working :( :( :( and the icon itself is from this set. Hope that helps!!

[chirpingisflirting]

blathering and a question/request under the cut. if anyone can give advice, that’d be great. (and, panic attack tw?)

hey omgcp fandom, I have a question and need advice. since joining this fandom, i’ve learned so, so much, about internalized homophobia and racism and transphobia and disabilities and mental health. i didn’t know what anxiety really meant or felt like until i started reading fics, and got to learn about it through the eyes of characters who canonically, or in headcanons, have anxiety. i learned that a lot of thoughts that i have aren’t actually “normal,” and i started seeing a therapist through my school. but apparently, it didn’t help all that much.

last night, i had a full-blown panic attack, first one in four years. i was with friends, we were high, and we were at an a capella show and all of a sudden i couldn’t see, my hearing was muffled to the point of not being able to make out words, i couldn’t stand right, i was sweating, my heartbeat was all over the place. i felt like i was about to pass out, or throw up. i left with a friend, and i couldn’t catch my breath. but the minute i got back to my room, my hearing returned and i could breathe again. i slept, but i’m still in this weird mood and i can’t pull myself out of it. we’re going into finals week and i have so much shit to do but i can’t pull myself together to focus. and, side note, i know that being high probably made it worse, but it also usually helps me relax.

so, please, does anyone have any recommendations? i have no idea where to start getting information on anxiety or panic attacks or self-care. i can’t go back to the therapist because school’s almost over, and i’m leaving in 2 weeks to go live in germany for my internship for the entire summer. 

if anyone could tell me your methods for getting out of a weird headspace after a panic attack, or if you have certain tips for managing or dealing with anxiety, or if there are websites or articles or books you’d recommend, i would really, really appreciate it.

thanks and much love,

me

☆ Fresh out the oven, a new Check, Please website! ☆

GUYS. The new site for omgcp is hosted by Hiveworks and looks SO GOOD! While, Check, Please will still be cross-posted on Tumblr, this site has much-better navigation features and puts everything in one place. My fave feature?

Organized & searchable tweets woot-woot

If Tumblr navigation has been a major turn-off for friends and fam, and carrying around PDFs on your device ain’t your thing, this site might change things up. 

Have fun playing with it!

I want to see more of Nursey being praised by Dex…like it’s hard for Dex to say those things but he honestly adores Nursey and thinks that he is smart, and creative, and basically the best human on the planet. Nursey is his best friend and he loves him. Every day he’s grateful that Nursey exists. 

There aren’t enough fics where Nursey is adored, and that’s what he deserves.
