boo!! surprise everyone 🫣

thinking about how nico’s back in switzerland for the summer, but you’re stuck here in the states, working. yeah, you’ll get to go visit him for a bit towards the end of the summer, but until then, you’re here. and he’s there. and you’re miserable.

coming home from work is not longer filled with cuddles and laughter and nights spent going to his games. dinners are lonely and unfulfilling. your favorites shows aren’t as funny. your favorite sweatshirt not as cozy. nothing is quite right when nico’s not here.

and you know it’s dramatic, because it happens every year, at the end of every season. but it’s still just so….grey. he’s your best friend, your person. of course you’re going to be downbeat when he’s not around. and he hates it.

he hates he can see the sadness in your eyes when you video chat. he hates he can hear the lifeless tone in your voice. he hates he can tell you’re not sleeping well. hates that you can’t be with him for the entire summer. he’s thought about trying to find a way around it each year. he’s offered to only go for a few weeks, but you refuse, insisting he go see his family while he can. he’s offered a schedule where he comes home every other week, but you refuse, saying that’s a waste of money and his body would be all kinds of off rhythm because of time zones. he’s offered for you to quit your job, let him support you fully, but he knows how much you love your work.

the truth is, there no middle ground. and it sucks. both of you dread it every year, despite pretending it doesn’t affect your routines so drastically.

but, this year, nico couldn’t take it anymore. he needed to see you. so, he booked a flight back to jersey a week before you were set to come see him, so you could make the journey back together. he had it all set up before he ever left, keeping it to himself. he arranged for a car to pick him up at the airport and drop him off at your shared apartment. he worried, because of course he flight was delayed, and he wanted to be home and settled before you got off of work. had this big plan to cook dinner and have it waiting on you when you got home, knowing you don’t eat properly when he’s not there, your argument of ‘girl dinner’ being a real dinner in the back of his mind.

instead, he had to settle for take out and cheap wine due to the unplanned time crunch. what he didn’t know, though, was that was exactly what you were planning for yourself, anyways. you had the day of all days at work, everything that could go wrong, went wrong. people were rude, computers were glitchy, and the clocked ticked slower every time you looked. all you wanted was to go home, put on a big t-shirt of nico’s—since you couldn’t get one of his soul lifting hugs—and chug a bottle of bad wine while eating greasy pizza and watching trashy tv.

you had the number to the closest pizzeria pulled up on your phone when you walked in the apartment, not looking up or paying attention to anything as you dropped your belongings on the large island in the open kitchen, trying to decide if you wanted extra cheese or not.

nico was stood in the connecting living room, smirking at your obliviousness.

“y’know, you really should be more aware of your surroundings. you never know what could be waiting on you, even in your own home.”

the deep voice makes you jump, dropping your phone with a loud yelp. your head starts swiveling, looking for the intruder before settling on nico’s amused figure. still wearing his airport sweats and loose tshirt, backwards hat containing his un-styled hair, he looks at you with his arms crossed in a relaxed pose and a humorous shine to his eyes.

you open your mouth to scold him, then promptly shut it, brain catching up to reality and realizing: holy shit, nico is here. he’s in jersey, in your home, skin a little more golden than you last remember.

“you…? here…..? switzerland….? how?”

nico chuckles at your choppy sentence, walking towards you since you seem to be rooted to your spot. “there’s actually this really cool invention, have you heard of it? it’s called an airplane, and it lets you get from one end of the world to the other just like that,” he snaps his fingers, stopping to stand barely a foot from you. he reaches out to touch your face, not having felt your skin is what seemed like years.

you lean into his touch, but still huff out a “you’re such a smartass, you dick” while taking a step forward to squish your face against his chest. you can feel the rumble of laughter as he squeezes you to him, taking in the feeling of you in his arms.

“missed you,” he mumbles into your hair, his cheek pressed to the top of your head.

you let yourself bask in is presence for a little bit before making any moves, enjoying the bubble you two always create with each other.

“not that i’m not thankful, but…what are you doing here? i’m supposed to fly out next week, but you’re here. why?” you question, leaning back just enough you can look up at him but not so far you’re out of his hold.

he shrugs. “told you, i missed you. had this planned before i ever even left. wanted to surprise you,” he brushes a strand of loose hair away from your face, loving the way you have to crane your neck to look up at him all the time. he leans down to press a soft kiss to your nose, wanting to see the little scrunch you do each time.

“well, very mean of you to keep me in the dark this whole time. i’ve been out here, suffering, when i could be been looking forward to it and making plans this whole time,” you respond, jutting your lip out in a half assed pout.

nico reaches his fingers up to capture your bottom lip between his thumb and pointer finger, tugging it slightly to meet his in a sweet, slow kiss. he savors the taste of your lips before pulling back, still holding your chin between his two fingers, biting back with a “looks like you survived. figured you’d like the surprise,” in a soft tone.

you pretend to mull it over in your head, a content smile having taken over your features. “yeah, guess this is a pretty good surprise. better than the shitty wine, greasy pizza, and bad tv i had planned for the evening.

nico steps back, too, turning sideways and gesturing to the small coffee table across the room in front of the couch. “hate to tell ya, schatz, but looks like your plans are still waiting for you.”

you take in the two pizza boxes, two wine glasses, and bottle of red wine all set up and ready to be consumed. you break out in cackle laughter. of course you two had the same plans, even though you were on opposite ends of the world just this morning.

“planned on making you a nice dinner, since i can tell by the state of the pantry you haven’t been eating real meals since i’ve been gone,” he playfully scolds with a pointed look, “but flight got delayed, so pizza and wine it was.”

shaking your head you walk back over to him, wrapping your arms around his waist, chin resting on his chest as you look up at him. “s’perfect. wouldn’t have it any other way, really.”

he leans down to give you a small peck, your content smile warming him down to his toes.

“c’mon, this pizza isn’t going to eat itself,” he nods towards the couch, gesturing for you to walk in front of him.

“can we watch love island? please please please? there’s a new season out and all the girls at work have been talking about it. i really wanna watch it,” you beg, a little more pep to your step when nico playfully smacks at your ass, not caring what plays on the tv as long as his hot new bombshell enters his villa later.

As sad at this is and as heartbroken as i am, our boys did they best they could with the UNFORTUNATE cards they’ve been dealt

All the injuries, no jack, and the offense-oriented, healthy powerhouse that was Carolina

I’m proud of them ❤️🖤

(Nico and Marky on the ice after made me CRY)

they fought so hard despite everything thrown at them and they played one hell of a game last night

i hope they all rest and enjoy their time off, heal, and come back better than ever in october
