chat i am all for requesting what you wanna read like i’m literally the last person to judge after literally requesting shit about consensual forced smex but i swear some of the stuff i see on this app makes me want to put my head through a wall 😭😭😭-🧶
Thinking about how much Nikki loves pda and just physical contact in general :* ❤️❤️
She tries not to be so needy and intense in the beginning of the relationship but as it slowly develops, you reassure her it's fine and you love it just as such 🙏🏼
i feel like it’s probably one of her love languages. that and maybe acts of service or words of affirmation.
in the very early days of the relationship, nikki is hyper-aware of not wanting to come on too strong. she’s the type to hover just a little too close when you’re walking side by side, fingers twitching like she wants to grab your hand, only to shove them in her pockets at the last second. she’ll lightly bump your shoulder “on accident” and laugh it off, cheeks pink, internally scolding herself for being so greeedy already.
she overthinks everything. so she settles for small, “casual” touches. brushing lint off your shirt, fixing your collar, letting her knee rest against yours under the table.
the first time you casually drape an arm around her shoulders in public, she freezes for half a second before melting so hard she nearly forgets how to walk. she doesn’t say anything, but the way she leans into you gives her away completely.
once you start dating more seriously and you reassure her that you do like when she touches you, it’s like permission for her to finally breathe. she’ll test the waters by slipping her hand into yours while you’re waiting in line for coffee, watching your face carefully for any sign of discomfort.
when she realizes you genuinely love it, she becomes unapologetically affectionate. she’s the girlfriend who greets you with a full-body tackle hug after even a few hours apart, arms wrapped tight around your neck, face buried in your shoulder like she’s recharging. in public she’ll still try to be a little polite about it (quick kisses, hand-holding, arms linked), but the second you’re somewhere semi-private she’s all over you.
she has favorite ways to show it. looping her pinky with yours, tracing patterns on your arm absentmindedly, “stealing” your clothes because wearing something of yours feels like constant physical connection even when you’re apart.
she still gets self-conscious sometimes, especially if she catches herself being extra clingy after a long day. she’ll apologize, only for you to pull her closer and tell her you adore it.
she’s the type to sit pressed right against you during movie nights, legs tangled with yours. if you’re both standing and talking to friends, she’ll lean back against your chest so your arms can wrap around her waist from behind.
deep down, all that physical affection is how she feels safest and most loved. once she’s fully reassured that you crave it just as much, she stops holding back entirely. random kisses on your cheek while you’re cooking, sleepy cuddles where she clings to you like a koala even after she’s already dozed off.
i honestly feel horrible for melanie she’s so pretty and sincere or however you spell it is a fucking dick if i was a 6 foot man i’d whoop his ass for her 😭
also i guess this is my official request to be 🧶 anon cause im not just gonna say “chat” every time to let you know it’s me lol
like i said, she’s gotta want to find better for herself, some people just can’t be helped 😔
chat my girl is watching love island and i’ve been listening while i do my thing and all i have to say is literally every girl on this season is the reason the saying “too many birds on the ground not enough in the sky” is a thing
can’t blame them too much cause i’ve been there before tbh. it can be reallyyy hard to leave someone who you love so much 😭 but you gotta find it in yourself ✌🏻😔
Hi!! I was wondering if you can do a Nikki scenerios where everyone is playing seven minutes in heaven and Nikki gets the reader but everyone knows they like each other BUT themselves so when they go into the closet, they confess to each other and stay longer than the time we were supposed to have? If that makes sense. THANK YEW ❤️❤️❤️
ian was the one that had dragged to you his party. said that it’d be good for you.
really, he just wanted you to grow a pair and ask nikki out. he’d been bringing it up for months. every time you got stuck alone with him—
“so, you plan on talking to nikki later?”
“…maybe.”
“perfect! then you can finally make a move.”
nikki looked great, like always. you saw her as soon as she came in, like you were drawn to her. she met your eyes, and grinned. gave a little wave. and then she was being pulled into a conversation with sarah, and your heart began to return to it’s normal rhythm.
you’d downed at least three beers—figured it’d give you a little ‘liquid courage.’
it did not.
“hey,” ian said suddenly, his hand coming down to slap your shoulder. he grinned at you, one hand holding an empty vodka bottle which he shook. “wanna play?”
“play what?” you questioned, glancing—against your will—over his shoulder to where nikki was standing. fuck, she looked pretty.
ian clapped your shoulder again, letting out a heavy laugh. “seven minutes in heaven. c’mon—hey, everyone!” he called out, raising his voice above the music. “anyone who wants to play seven minutes in heaven, follow me!”
seven minutes in heaven. seven minutes in heaven? the last time you’d played that game, you were in middle school.
but you followed ian anyways, and so did several other people.
nikki included. she pushed past some straggles, one of her hands latching around your forearm. “hey,” she said to you, “you’re gonna play?”
you glanced down at her hand briefly, lips curling into a sheepish smile. “uh—yeah. what’s the harm?”
ian led the group upstairs. the music thumped through the floorboards as everyone piled into a dimly lit bedroom. sarah plopped down next to nikki, whispering something to her that made them both grin.
your stomach flipped. liquid courage, my ass. the beers had only made your hands feel slightly less shaky.
ian spun the first bottle with dramatic flair. it landed on some guy named tyler and a girl you didn’t know well. they disappeared into the guest room closet amid whoops and teasing. seven minutes later they came out flushed and giggling, tyler’s shirt slightly untucked. the game rolled on. another pair. then another. each spin made your throat tighter.
then ian pointed at you. it felt weirdly menacing. “your turn.”
you swallowed hard and gave the bottle a weak spin. it wobbled lazily before slowing…slowing…and stopping dead on nikki.
“oh shit!” ian laughed immediately, slapping your back hard enough to jolt you forward. “finally!”
nikki’s eyes met yours. for a split second she looked nervous, then that easy grin returned, softer this time. she stood up and offered you her hand. “come on.”
your palm was clammy as you took it. the hallway seemed longer than it should’ve been, each step closer to the closet making your stomach churn. ian called after you, “don’t waste it!” before the door clicked shut behind you two.
the closet was small, cramped with hanging coats that smelled faintly of mothballs and laundry detergent. a single string of fairy lights someone had strung up earlier cast a warm, golden glow over everything. you stood there awkwardly, heart trying to punch its way out of your chest.
“so…” she said, tilting her head. her voice was quieter in in the small place. “we’ve got seven minutes.”
“yeah,” you managed. “seven whole minutes.”
she laughed softly. “you’ve been staring at me all night, you know.”
heat flooded your face. “i—uh—”
“It’s okay.” nikki stepped a little closer, until the toes of her shoes touched yours. “i’ve been staring at you too.” she was looking up at you, eyes bright even in the low light, lips curved in a half-smile.
you wondered, briefly, if ian had his ear to the door. he seemed like the type.
“we don’t have to do anything if you don’t want to,” nikki murmured, gentle. “we can just…talk.”
“talking’s okay with me,” you replied, tongue darting out to wet your lower lip. you cleared your throat. “but…well, the point of the game is to…y’know.”
nikki’s smile turned playful, but her eyes stayed soft. she reached up, fingers lightly tracing the collar of your shirt. “yeah. i know.”
she stepped closer, just a bit. she leaned in, so slowly that you had plenty of time to pull away. except, you didn’t. when she kissed you, there was no hesitation. her lips were warm and sure, and the second you kissed her back she made a quiet, pleased sound that sent heat rushing through you.
you cupped her face with both hands, thumbs brushing her cheeks as the kiss deepened. nikki’s fingers curled into your shirt, tugging you her mouth moved against yours, slow at first then with growing confidence.
when you finally broke apart, breathing hard, nikki stayed close, her nose brushing yours.
“god, you’re a good kisser,” she whispered, a little laugh leaving her. “i was hoping you would be.”
you let out a shaky breath, smiling. “you’re…a good kisser too. really good.”
she bit her lip, clearly pleased, and kissed you again, shorter this time. but when she tried to pull back, you followed after her and pressed your mouth back against her own.
when you finally parted again, both of you were breathing heavier. nikki’s eyes were half-lidded, her lips a little swollen.
you grinned, still a little dazed, forehead resting against hers. “yeah. seven minutes well spent.”
she ran her thumb along your bottom lip, eyes tracing your face like she was memorizing it. “i’ve wanted to do that for so long. you have no idea.”
“i think i do,” you murmured. “i’ve been driving myself crazy trying to work up the nerve to ask you out.”
nikki expression softened. she leaned in and gave you one last kiss—for real this time.
then you both jumped in surprise when a sudden banging sounded from the door.
“time’s up, lovebirds!” ian called out, “don’t make me come in there!”
you both reluctantly straightened up. nikki smoothed her shirt and fixed her hair while you tried to calm your racing heart. she caught your eye in the low light and grinned a toothy smile.
then ian fist banged on the door again—“yo! get your asses out here!”—and nikki grabbed your hand and laced your fingers together.
“ready?” she asked.
you squeezed her hand. “yeah.”
the door opened to a chorus of whoops and teasing comments. ian looked ridiculously proud of himself, while sarah gave nikki a knowing smirk.
the rest of the night passed in a happy blur. nikki stayed close, sitting next to you during the next rounds, stealing little touches when no one was looking, and shooting you glances that made everything feel warmer. when the party started winding down, her fingers grasped your wrist.
“text me later?” she said quietly, smiling. “i kinda wanna…pick up where we left off.”
you grinned, against your will. “wouldn’t miss it.”
ian immediately caught your eye from across the room and mouthed “you’re welcome.”
