"Your fans are pretty great," Nicole says, happily munching on a cookie. "Like, if the food is this good, I'm totally okay being a golddigging band whore or whatever they think I am this week."

She is, rightly, pretty startled when Spencer smacks the remaining half cookie out of her hand and flings the tupperware she'd been eating them out of across the room.

"I know, I know Zack gave you The Talk," he says, glaring at the cookies even though he's talking to Nicole.

"They're cookies, you fucking psycho," she says, and pouts at him until he rolls his eyes and cuddles her. "Delicious cookies."

"Whatever. Let someone know if you start feeling sick, or weird, or something, okay?"

"Cookies, Spencer," she repeats, and burrows in against his side. "Just cookies."

*

Nicole wakes up to Brendon shaking her shoulder, looking down at her with concern. "Hey, hey, bad dream?"

"Huh?"

"You were shaking, I dunno."

Nicole just shrugs. She's itchy, ugh, she hates these fucking bus couches, itchy all over and her skin feels tight. And she needs a hug, good fucking God does she need a hug. Maybe she did have a bad dream.

"Cuddles?"

Brendon just shrugs and bundles onto the couch with her, wriggling until he's under the quilt and pressed all against her side. "Cuddles, totally," he says, because Brendon is the best.

*

Nicole needs a hug. Nicole needs so many hugs, what the fuck, it's like a big blinking neon sign in her head - CUDDLES! CUDDLES! CUDDLES! The thing is, Brendon's still napping next to her, and he's got her all wrapped up in one of those full-body awesome hugs that are the reason napping with him is almost better than napping with her actual boyfriend.

"Cuddles," she says, which, no, she actually meant to say no, brain, I have cuddles, I don't need more. "Cuddles."

Nicole blinks. There's something wrong, she tries to say, but it just comes out as a nervous "cuddles."

"You have cuddles, greedy," Dallon says from the other couch.

"Cuddles," she says again, instead of I know, but something's wrong. Dallon is both the worst and best person in the world, because instead of getting up to go find Spencer and tell him his girlfriend's acting weird, he just helps her wriggle Brendon around until they're half-sitting up and Dallon can curl up against Nicole's other side.

"You look...cozy," Ian says.

"Cuddles," is all Nicole can say back. Ian shrugs and sits on the floor in front of the couch, tilts his head back to rest against her leg.

*

Spencer's doing that thing where he finds something really adorable, but he doesn't want to, so he makes this kind of grimacey face and pretends he's annoyed.

"This is why I can't find anyone to play Mario Kart with?"

"Cuddles," Nicole says, I didn't mean to steal everyone but something's wrong and no one's listening and I can't say anything else. "Cuddles, cuddles, cuddles."

Spencer's brow furrows. "Nic?"

"Cuddles," she says again, and she wants to keep the distress out of her voice because Spencer worries and she can't exactly reassure him right now.

"Shit," he says, "the fucking - this is why Zack says not to eat the food, Nicole, Jesus."

He reaches in and wraps his arms around her, tugs her loose from the pile of his napping bandmates and lifts her up. Normally it's really super hot the way he carries her around, and also kind of super adorable and super romantic. Right now, though, her entire body starts itching the second they're not all touching her.

"Cuddles! Cuddles," she says, starts wriggling so he'll drop her and she can climb back onto the couch.

"I know, shh, I know, I'm just gonna take you to the back lounge so we can all cuddle you, okay?"

"Cuddles."

"I'm gonna take that as an 'okay, Spencer, you're so wise'," he says, and shakes the other three awake so they can join the cuddle party in the back.

*

Nicole wakes up sticky with sweat, curled up close to Spencer with Dallon draped over her back and Brendon and Ian's heads pillowed on her legs. It's like sleeping in a pile of puppies. Puppies who smell like they're all as sweaty as Nicole, why didn't someone turn the heat down.

"Feeling better?" Spencer asks, combing his fingers through her hair and obviously trying not to look as worried as he is.

"I think so, yeah," she says, and oh, awesome, words.

"Good," he says, kisses her softly.

AWWWWW!!! MY FACE, LET ME SHOW IT TO YOU :DDDDDDDD

CUDDLES! ~pets Nic~

I love how everyone just goes 'cuddles? sure, okay'

♥ times infinity

[hector-rashbaum.livejournal.com]

Nicole and Brendon are both kind of cuddlesluts, it is totally not that weird for someone to just pout and keep saying "cuddles". Giving in right off the bat saves a few minutes of annoying cuteness.

Re: cuddle pollen 2/2

[akire-yta.livejournal.com]

and fluttered eyelashes. Nic and Bden totally have cuteness-off's on long bus trips, don't they?

Re: cuddle pollen 2/2

[hector-rashbaum.livejournal.com]

there are cuddle competitions. and once, a surprisingly intense half-naked wrestling match over whether spencer cuddles should count less for nicole because he's boyfriend-ly obligated to cuddle her

Re: cuddle pollen 2/2

[akire-yta.livejournal.com]

Memories of that wrestling match keep Nic warm and amused for WEEKS afterwards :D

Re: cuddle pollen 2/2

[hector-rashbaum.livejournal.com]

Brendon fights dirty ;9 and looks good in his red underpants ;9

Re: cuddle pollen 2/2

[akire-yta.livejournal.com]

plus Spencer watching them with a kind of glazed, hungry expression

what did he expect? Both Bden and Nic know how to put on a show, fight dirty, and want to win :D

Re: cuddle pollen 2/2

[hector-rashbaum.livejournal.com]

Nicole is so glad she has a boyfriend who not only understands her crushes on his bandmates (except Ian. Ian she wants to drag through a portal to Harry Potter world so he can be an Animagus and turn into a puppy for her to cuddle all the time. Ian...does not actually find that as weird as maybe he should. Wait where were we?) but kind of encourages them.

And if wrestling Brendon in her pajamas when he's in his underpants is gonna get her fucked like THAT, well, she can totally live with that.

Re: cuddle pollen 2/2

[akire-yta.livejournal.com]

There is nothing, Nic has decided, more sexy than a man who is totally confident and secure in both himself and his relationship with her.

Plus, trust? A total turnon :D

Re: cuddle pollen 2/2

[hector-rashbaum.livejournal.com]

It's a pity she wasted so much time on boys whose reaction to "um, I kind of kissed Brendon a little bit last night at the bar" wouldn't be "...try kissing him when he's sober, it's less like being attacked by an overenthusiastic mutant tongue".

Re: cuddle pollen 2/2

[akire-yta.livejournal.com]

Spencer is just happy he's finally found someone who DOESN'T find his closeness to his bandmates creepy or threatening or any of the other horrible things past exes have said.

The thing is, you date Spencer, you kind of date his band too.

Luckily, Nic loves his band almost as much as she loves him.

Re: cuddle pollen 2/2

[hector-rashbaum.livejournal.com]

When Nicole finally moves in with him, Spencer's kind of worried that she's gonna think all his bandmate time is fine when he's recording and touring, but having them around all the time in his downtime is too much.

She...invites Brendon over to hang out more than Spencer does.

Re: cuddle pollen 2/2

[akire-yta.livejournal.com]

He stops worrying about the fourth time he comes home to find Nic and Bden cooking or cuddled up on the couch watching DVDs or just laughing as Bden sings silly madeup songs on the piano.

He teaches her how to play the ukelele and Spencer is so in love with how happy it makes her he even breaks out the tambourine to play along.

Re: cuddle pollen 2/2

[hector-rashbaum.livejournal.com]

When Spencer VOLUNTARILY tambourines, Brendon clears his schedule for the next week because he knows it's only a matter of time before Spencer wants to go engagement ring shopping

Re: cuddle pollen 2/2

[akire-yta.livejournal.com]

Dallon volunteers to come to, as the token 'married man' of their little band

when Spencer realizes they're right, he has a little freakout. But only a little one.

make it up to you

[hector-rashbaum.livejournal.com]

"Well this is a Hell of a fucking time to cancel on me," Nicole snaps.

"Oh, sorry, you're right, this probably wasn't the best time to give Chloe chicken pox, because I totally did that on purpose."

Nicole sighs, sits down on the bed and pulls a pillow over to wrap around. "Sorry, I know, just...sorry."

"I would gladly give Dallon chicken pox to be able to come out there," Brendon says, "But Breezy might kill me, and I'm no use to you dead."

"You're not much use to me alive," Nicole says, tries to sound a lot more lighthearted than she feels. She's not - 99% of the time, she's fine spending half the year living alone in charming apartments while she films on location and keeps the bills paid so Brendon can be the stay at home dad he so loves being, so Spencer can worry more about enjoying himself than doing what makes money. And she's not even a big Valentine's day person, just, they promised, and she's been looking forward to it.

"Spencer's still coming," Brendon says, so gently she thinks she probably failed at sounding happy. "You two have your romantic Parisian weekend, it'll be awesome."

"You don't - he can stay with you, I don't - " Brendon has a lot harder time being alone than Nicole does. Brendon is also the kind of person who puts a lot of stock in Valentine's Day.

"I'm good, I've got a date with two of the three prettiest girls in the world. You two have your fun, and I promise I'll make this up to you."

"I'll make it up to you," Nicole counters.

*

The thing is, Nicole's kind of a paparazzi target, and she's publicly married to Brendon, so she and Spencer can't even go out without fueling a bunch of ugly rumors they all try to keep at bay. But it's okay, it's fine, it's not the weekend she was promised nor the one she was looking forward to, but she and Spencer fuck on every surface in the tiny apartment and for three straight mornings Nicole gets to wake up next to someone she loves.

There are fucking paparazzi at the fucking airport, so Spencer can't kiss her goodbye. Nicole handles it, because she always handles it, and goes home to nap on the pillow that smells like Spencer's shampoo.

*

Nicole films for another month and a half, and takes the first flight she can after they wrap for good instead of getting a night's sleep beforehand. She calls Dallon from the airport, because he totally owes her one - who the fuck didn't have chicken pox as a kid, what the fuck - and he laughs the entire time they're scheming. That should have been Nicole's first clue, maybe.

Still, she doesn't figure it out until Breezy's dropped her off at the house and helped her climb in through the window. Brendon and Spencer, instead of being out of the house like Dallon promised, are cuddled up in the bed, naked, surrounded by tacky Valentine's Day bears and roses.

"What the fuck?"

"You - why - you, uh, did you forget we have a front door?"

Nicole just blinks at them, because, what.

"This is - there was a scavenger hunt. Which you would have known if you came in the front door."

"I didn't want you to know I was here, I was gonna surprise you."

"It was a really cool scavenger hunt," Brendon says, pouting so cutely Nicole doesn't bother to point out how cool her idea was, just tugs off her clothes and leaps to join them on the bed.
