Chapter 3
Nick panicked. What as he to do? Sure, Tommy kissed him, but it was probably friendly, right? He paced back and forth in his room, wondering what he should do.
Should he drink another love potiom? No, that might be risky. Should he make Tommy drink a love potion and be the only person in the room he can fall in love with? No, that's stupid and rude.
"Nick, you in here?" A voice asked, followed by a knock on the door. Ashlie! She'd know what to do!"
Nick swung open the door and gripped the front of her shirt.
"Ashliepleasehelpmethelovepotionstoppedworkingandiminlovewithtommybutheprobablydoesntlikemebackandifitellhimiactuallylikehimwithoutthepotionhesgoingto-"
"Nick, take a deep breath, and let go of my shirt before I kill you in your sleep." Nick did as told, and invited her into the room.
"Ashlie, I need advice."
"Alright, well, from your blabbering, I think you should just be honest, or wait until he makes a move. Or...you can pretend you're still under the affect of the love potion!"
"That last idea doesn't sound bad, but-"
A knock interrupted Nick. "Hey, Nick? It's Tommy, can we talk?"
Nick and Ashlie shared panicked looks, and Nick cleared this throat. "In just a minute, honey boo!"
Ashlie held back a giggle, and Nick hid her under his bed since honestly, Ashlie had nowhere to go and knowing Tommy, the man would ask many questions.
Nick opened the door, and smiled wide at Tommy. "Hey there, what did you want to talk about?" Nick asked, and wrapped his arms around Tommy's neck.
They slowly stepped into the room, well, more like shuffled, and Tommy closed the door with his foot.
"Nick, listen," Tommy wasn't looking into his eyes, good, he'd barely notice the color change then. "I'm sorry about kissing you last night, I know you're under a love potion and it was wrong of me, but-"
"Tommy, it's fine," Nick stroked Tommy's cheek. "There's no reason to apologize, and it's just a silly little love potion, right?"
"I-I mean, I guess. I also have to confess that uh, I kissed you to see if the potion would die off."
"Oh?"
"Yeah, it was supposed to be a meaningless kiss, but dang, I had a really fun night last night."
Nick smiled, it hurt to know that the kiss was almost meaningless, but he was trying to make Nick snap out of it, and he did have a fun time...
"I had fun too, hopefully we can do it again sometime. Now, I have private stuff to do," Nick told him, and Tommy stroked his cheek, getting a bit closer to him.
"Is it really private? Or is there just something you have to do that you dont want me to see?" Tommy whispered, the tone in the voice made Nick's heart skip a beat. Nick shyly looked at Tommy with a flustered face. Tommy let out a low chuckle. "...How about you come to my room later?"
"I think I will, and that'll give us time alone, yeah? We can have our own 'private time' if you'd like..." Nick pecked Tommy on the lips, then kissed him for a bit longer. He then kissed Tommy's cheek, then jawline, then-
"N-Nick," Tommy lifted Nick's head away from his neck, then held his hands. "Maybe later, depending if you'll be good."
Nick quickly nodded, and kissed his cheek once more. "I'll be good."
"I'm probably going to regret this, but..." Tommy looked at Nick for a while, and smiled. "...We'll talk later." With that, Tommy left the room, and Ashlie quickly crawled out from under the bed.
Nick looked as his friend, who began to laugh like crazy. "O-Oh my gosh! N-Nick! Y-You sounded just like you-"
Then Ashlie noticed something in Nick's eyes.
Nick had little hearts in his eyes, and the color was slightly pinker.
"Nick...you're back under the potion?" Ashlie asked, and Nick looked himself in the mirror with panick.
"I-I am...? No, it's just my eyes, I still hate Tommy in some aspects, but love him too. If I was under the potion I would be gushing over him and say that he's never done anything wrong...right?" Nick asked, and blinked his eyes a few times.
"We need to find something that gets rid of those hearts, Nick, I have a feeling something terrible is going to happen if we don't." Ashlie said, and at that time, Dawn popped his head into the room.
"Hey guys? We found a journal that tells us a cure for the potion." Dawn told them, and Ashlie smiled.
"Perfect. If we need the ingredients, we'll set out to find them soon, though Nick and Tommy should stay here, to see if ya know, Nick will be able to try to realize what's happening?" Ashlie looked at Nick, who continued to look himself in the mirror and whisper things to himself.
"...Right. Come on Ashlie, we'll go meet up with Uni and then we can go." Ashlie nodded and left with Dawn, leaving Nick to himself, speaking to his reflection.
"C'mon! Let me love him!!" The reflection spoke, and Nick shook his head.
"No! You're going to ruin things, and I'll be able to hear a rejection from him if you're in control, and I want to hear it for myself."
"You're no fun!" The reflection groaned, and Nick sighed. This potion was really weird. His own mind got trapped in his brain, and the only way he could talk was from his reflection, and now that he was in control of his own body, the love potion him was stuck in the mirror.
Nick stood up and decided to get something to eat, since he was too busy freaking out earlier to eat.
That's when a hand reached out and grabbed his wrist.
Nick turned around and saw his other self, who was wearing a pink polo, pink pants, the hair and eyes were pink as well, so was everything else.
Next thing Nick knew he was being pushed into the mirror, and watched his reflection laugh madly as he banged on the glass.
This wasn't good.
