It has been about two and a half months since Finn and Nick first got together. They’ve (surprisingly) managed to stay under the radar and keep their relationship a secret for a good amount of time. However, both boys had many conversations as to when they would come clean about their relationship with their fans. They knew that both of their fan bases were aware that something was going on between the two considering how much they post each other (whether it be selfies, appearances in posts or vlogs, or just being seen together in public) but, their fans weren’t completely sure if they were together dating wise.

Some fans were certain that they were together and complimented them on how lowkey they were and others simply thought they were just close friends. The whole incident of them first being seen together awoken great chaos between the two fan bases however Nick and Finn quickly shut down the riot that ensued. (both boys made a similar post on their stories commenting about the situation and ended up laughing about it because they practically lied to their entire fanbase) Even after this mishap was resolved, the fans continued to be a little suspicious of the closeness of the two boys.

As Nick and Finn inched closer to the three-month mark of their relationship, the want of coming out to the fans grew stronger. Both of them wanted to be as open as possible with their relationship and be able to post risky (not in that context) photos on social media to brag about them being together.

Since both boys were rather indecisive and often backed out of posting an announcement about their relationship, Matt and Chris ended up taking the initiative of urging them to come out to the public. The two brothers were plenty aware of how Nick and Finn wanted to come clean about their relationship, however, they were also aware of how anxious they were about it. Matt and Chris knew it wouldn't be long until the two gave in coming out but they knew they had to give them a little push.

PRESENT

It’s currently 3 AM and the triplets barely arrived back to their house after filming a car video. Finn, having already been at their place since early that morning, impatiently waited for the three boys to return ever since they left. The moment the male hears the front door opening, he springs up from Nick's bed and rushes out of his boyfriend’s room to greet the three boys entering their house. The moment the three boys step foot upstairs, Finn immediately runs to Nick and engulfs him in a large hug. The younger, not expecting the sudden collision, stumbles back and hits the wall behind him with a small ‘oof.’

“Well, hello to you too.” Nick chuckles, his arms immediately wrapping around the taller’s torso.

“I missed you.” Finn mumbles, his speech muffled by his face being dug into the crook of Nick’s neck. The latter giggles at the tingly feeling and leans back a little to get a better look at his boyfriend.

“I was only gone for two hours.”

“Two hours too many.”

“You wouldn't be missing him every time we go to film if you joined us,” Chris says, projecting his voice as he enters the kitchen and opens the fridge. Finn momentarily releases himself from Nick’s grasp to look over at the youngest triplet who takes a can of Pepsi from the fridge. Sensing that someone is staring at him, Chris lifts his head as he shuts the fridge and immediately locks eyes with Finn. “Hey, I’m just saying. I'm sure the fans would love to have more Finn and Nick content.”

Finn hums softly and returns to tightly hugging Nick. “I don't know..” The male says, his voice trailing off slightly as he glances over at his boyfriend.

“I honestly think that bringing Finn in for a car video or even a podcast would be a great way of announcing your relationship,” Matt adds, taking a glance over at the couple still standing by the staircase before heading to the living room. “Feel like it'd be better than making a post.”

Nick and Finn collectively grow quiet at Matt’s suggestion and exchange a look before the older of the two brings them both to the living room. After being lightly shoved down onto the sofa, Finn sits next to Nick and immediately goes to lie down on his lap. As he continuously buries his face in Nick’s thigh, the latter giggles softly at his boyfriend's shenanigans and sets a hand in his hair.

“I swear you're like a puppy sometimes,” Nick says as he begins to card his hand through Finn’s bright, blueberry colored locks. The taller simply hums and instinctively leans into Nick’s hand, craving the loving touch of his boyfriend. Nick rolls his eyes and chuckles at the male’s action before he speaks up again, “Exhibit A.”

“Oh shut it.” Finn mumbles, a small smile forming on his lips as his eyes close.

“Finn, hate to ruin your want of being a tough and cool guy but you give off major golden retriever vibes. Especially when you're around Nick. He should honestly edit a fucking tail and ears on you when you guys film a vlog together.” Chris states, making his presence known as he joins the three males in the living room.

Finn immediately perks his head up at the brunette’s statement, his eyes following the male as he takes a seat next to Matt on the sofa. “Are you serious?”

Chris takes a quick sip out of the Pepsi in his hand before he replies, “Dead serious. You might as well dye your hair blonde to lock in the look.”

“Wait, why does that sound really tempting..” Finn mumbles, his eyes shifting up to meet Nick who rolls his eyes.

“You need to give your hair a break, you just re-dyed it. Let her breathe.” Nick says as he takes a single piece of Finn’s hair in between his fingers.

“Fine, fine.” Finn grumbles with a heavy sigh. As he lays back down on Nick’s thigh and gets comfortable, he takes his boyfriend's hand, which is still playing with a piece of his hair, and sets it on his head. “Can you continue, please?”

“Continue what?” As Nick sends Finn a teasing smile, the latter sighs heavily and drapes an arm over his face. Nick knew that Finn didn't enjoy verbally asking for affection and that he often opted to using body language to tell Nick what he wanted. Knowing this fact, the redhead often teased his boyfriend when he wanted affection and enjoyed seeing the flustered and semi-annoyed expression that painted his features every time he made him ask for affection.

“Nick…” Finn says, dragging out the said male's name as he moves his arm down to see his boyfriend better.

“Finn…” Nick mimics the older, his teasing smile not faltering, even after his boyfriend whines and turns around to lay on his side. “Don’t be so hard-headed, baby. All you gotta do is tell me what you want and I’ll happily give it to you.”

“I’m not asking for it, Nick.”

“Then you're not getting whatever you want.”

As Nick leans back against the sofa and pulls his phone out of his pocket, Finn quickly turns around to lay on his back, a hurtful expression clear on his face as he looks up at his boyfriend. “My love, please~” Finn whines as he reaches up to grab Nick’s arm. The latter, feeling that his boyfriend is continuously tugging on his sleeve, sighs faintly and removes his phone from his face to look down at his pouting boyfriend.

“Why are you pouting?” Nick asks as he covers Finn’s face with a single hand. The latter huffs when his vision turns black and ponders for a moment before he licks Nick’s palm. The latter screams at the uncomforting touch and immediately removes his hand from Finn’s face. “FINN!” The redhead shouts, his jaw-dropping as he looks down at his boyfriend who's smiling widely at him.

“What did he do?” Matt asks, his head whipping around to look over at the two males on the other sofa.

“He licked me!” The sound of Chris laughing loudly can be heard the moment that statement escapes Nick’s lips and Matt joins the younger by giggling softly and covering his mouth with his hand to muffle the sound. Nick rolls his eyes at his two younger brothers before averting his focus back on Finn who's struggling to hold back his laughter. “Are you seriously laughing?”

As Nick narrows his eyes at Finn, the latter shakes his head. The moment he goes to open his mouth to reply, a stream of giggles escapes his slightly parted lips. The male quickly plops a hand over his mouth to muffle his faint laughter as Nick continues to glare down at him. “You know what…” The moment Nick goes to latch his hands onto Finn’s sides, the older lets out a squeal-laugh and rolls off his lap. The taller plops down onto the floor with a soft grunt and scrambles up to his feet as his boyfriend gets up from his spot on the sofa.

Finn wastes no time in running out of the living room the second he regains his footing. At the sight of his boyfriend sprinting off, Nick immediately runs after him, both of his arms extending in front of him in hopes of grabbing the older male.

“WAIT! I’m sorry!” Finn exclaims, anxious giggles spilling from his lips as he takes a sharp turn to enter the kitchen.

“Bull shit! I could practically hear you thinking about licking me before you did it!” Nick yells. Seconds before he's able to grab onto the back of Finn’s hoodie, the latter uses the rest of his energy to dash back to the living room. He immediately heads towards Matt and Chris who have been watching the scene in front of them unfold with small smiles and jumps behind them. As Finn begins to hide behind Matt, Nick walks up to the three boys on the sofa, a look of amusement clear on his face as he looks down at them.

“Are you serious?” Nick asks, a single eyebrow-raising.

“Yes.” Finn replies flatly. “You have to get through these two to get to me.” Nick rolls his eyes as Finn latches onto Matt’s shoulders and ducks his head behind his back.

“Matt, move.”

“No can do. Sorry.” Matt shrugs his shoulders and reaches an arm back to grab Finn.

Nick sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose for a moment before looking over at the youngest triplet. “Chris?”

“What?” The brunette asks, a blank expression clear on his face as he looks up at the older.

“Can you move so I can get Finn please?”

“Oh. No.”

“You know what, fine.” Nick huffs faintly and walks up to Chris, who watches his every move with narrowed eyes. “I'm giving you one chance to get up before I rock your shit.”

“The fuck you mean rock my shit? you can’t- AH!” Chris gets cut off by Nick latching onto his sides and digging his fingers into the fabric of the shirt he’s wearing. The brunette immediately bursts into soft laughter and slides down the sofa, followed by both his hands reaching out to grab Nick's wrists. “BRO! NICK!” The moment Chris plops down onto the floor, Nick stops tormenting the male and looks over at Matt.

“Don’t touch me.” The male states, a single hand raising as he moves back a little.

“Move and I won't touch you.” At Nick’s firm statement, Matt looks back at Finn and sends him an apologetic look before moving over.

“Okay, this isn’t even fair.” Finn frowns as he moves closer to Matt and clings onto one of his arms. “Chris I love you but you gotta check your sensitivity, man.”

“Sorry,” Chris mumbles, letting out a small sigh as he hugs his torso and leans against the front of the sofa.

“Finn, I love you but you gotta let me go or Nick's gonna get my ass,” Matt says, turning around and grabbing both of the older’s wrists to prevent him from grabbing him. Finn's frown deepens at Matt’s statement and allows him to move back a little more on the sofa before he turns his attention to Nick who's already begun to walk up to him,

“Wait! I have a proposition!” Finn exclaims, trying to reason with his boyfriend as he frantically waves his hands in front of him.

Nick sighs slightly and crosses his arms over his chest. “And that is?”

“Come here and I’ll tell you.” At the sight of Finn beckoning the redhead to come closer to him with a single finger, Matt’s jaw slacks and he quickly gets off the sofa and backs up away from the two.

“You guys are fucking disgusting, I hope you know that.” Matt grumbles as he plugs both of his ears with his pointer fingers.

“Are you thinking dirty, Matt?” Finn asks, leaning over to the side of Nick so he can get a better look at the brunette standing across the room, an uncomfortable expression clear on his face.

“Who’s thinking dirty?” Chris asks, his head picking up as he quickly looks between the three boys in the room.

“Matt.” Nick replies, pointing a single finger at the mentioned male.

“Not my fault Finn is making this whole ordeal suspicious as hell. Kid is refusing to tell Nick his ‘proposition’ out loud. Tell me that’s not suspicious!” Matt defends, removing a single finger from his ear to point at Finn who’s slightly smiling.

“God, what’s this proposition? You gonna suck his-“

“NUH-UH!” Nick shouts, immediately clamping a hand over the younger’s mouth before he gets the chance to finish his sentence. “Don’t you dare finish that sentence.”

Chris quickly raises both his arms in defense and waits for Nick to remove his hand before he pouts. “Okay, but I wanna hear the proposition. Unless it’s dirty…”

“It’s not dirty!” Finn exclaims, throwing his arms up in the air as he falls back against the sofa cushion.

“Then say it!” Matt exclaims with a small huff.

“I can’t, nick gets embarrassed over this stuff.”

“So it is about-“

“CHRIS!” Nick swiftly bends down and lands a harsh pinch on the brunette’s side, earning a high-pitched scream from the male as he flinches away.

“Okay, fucking Mr. Pinchy.” Chris grumbles as he caresses his now throbbing side.

“Can you just tell me please?” Nick asks, an exasperated sigh escaping his lips as he turns to face his boyfriend who’s now sprawled out on the sofa.

“Yeah, come here.” Finn replies, extending a single hand out in front of him. Nick immediately takes his hand and walks closer to the taller and crouches down in front of him. “Closer, you idiot.” Nick rolls his eyes and leans in closer, however, Finn shakes his head slightly and grabs the base of the redhead’s neck to pull him in. The quick action draws a small surprised shout from Nick as his chin plops down on Finn’s shoulder.

“No need to be so aggressive.” Nick mumbles, a frown overtaking his lips as he gazes up at his boyfriend. Finn simply rolls his eyes and sits up a little, causing Nick to fall off his shoulder before he leans in towards his boyfriend’s ear. As he whispers something to the male, the younger begins to giggle softly and smashes his ear against his shoulder the moment he stops whispering.

“Did you get what I said?”

“Yeah. Shit just felt really weird.” Finn chuckles as Nick begins to rub his ear against his shoulder.

“What did he tell you?” Chris asks, his voice soft and holding a sense of innocence as he gently tugs on Nick’s pant leg. The older quickly whips his head around at the faint touch and looks down at his brother who’s gazing up at him like a child.

“It’s none of your business.” Nick replies as he crosses his arms over his chest. The male manages to catch Chris gasping dramatically and bring a hand up to his chest before he turns back to Finn. “Tonight?”

Finn hums faintly as he nods. “The first part has to be done before you get it though.” Nick rolls his eyes, a soft sigh escaping his lips, before he takes a seat on the sofa next to Finn’s head. His boyfriend wastes no time in setting his head in his lap, his face smushing in between his thighs with a content exhale.

Nick allows Finn to get comfortable for a while longer before he begins to card his hand through his hair. The male in his lap hums happily and lands a quick peck on Nick’s clothed thigh before subconsciously leaning into the touch of his boyfriend. After endearingly gazing down at his boyfriend, Nick picks his head up and locks eyes with Matt who’s still standing across the room with a single finger in his right ear and gazing down at the floor.

“Are you going to stand there all night or sit your ass down?” Nick asks, a single eyebrow raising as he sends a look toward the male.

“Sorry just thinking.” Matt mumbles, blinking hardly a few times to get back to the present before shuffling back to the sofa. As the male seats himself down on one of the cushions, Chris gets up off the floor and joins him by sitting right next to him.

“About what?” Nick furrows his eyebrows together as he looks over at Matt. The latter forces his lips together in thought and looks down at his nails for a moment before turning over to the older.

“About how you and Finn need to come out to the fans already. Like no offense but you two have been talking about doing it for like what... two weeks now?” Matt diverts the last question to Chris who started eavesdropping halfway into the conversation. The brunette gazes off into the distance to think before he faintly nods his head in agreement. “Why are you two so hesitant? I know you guys want to tell everyone but why do you keep backing out?”

It was now Nick's turn to force his lips into a straight line and grow quiet. Matt was right. Him and Finn have been backing out of this whole situation for quite some time now. As the redhead begins to nibble on his bottom lip, he gazes down at his boyfriend who’s still tucked in his thigh.

He goes to tap the boy to get his attention and chime into the conversation but decides not to when he catches his shallow breathing and soft snores. Realizing that he has no choice but to answer Matt by himself, Nick picks his head up and looks over at his two brothers who are intently looking over at him.

“I don’t know…” Nick starts, dragging out the last syllable as he sighs faintly. “I guess we’re just scared to see how people will react. It’s not like we won’t be able to handle any hate we get, which we both know we’ll get because we’re two fucking gay men, but social media is just a really scary place, you know? People always have to shit on couples, famous or not, because they have nothing else to do. I know- well I hope the fans will be supportive but there is a part of me or rather both of us that believes that some people won’t be.”

“Nick, seeing how both of your fan bases are eating up the content of the two of you, I highly doubt that they’ll send hate when y'all come out. Most of them already know that you guys are dating for crying out loud! I mean, they don’t know they’re right but we know they are. And if people do decide to send unnecessary hate to the two of you, just know that they’re fucking stupid people who don’t have a life.” Chris says, shrugging slightly as he leans back against the sofa.

“Chris!” Matt exclaims, hitting the younger’s shoulder the moment the last sentence registers in his head. The brunette simply raises his hands in defense before Matt adds to the conversation, “Chris is right though. People already have a hunch that you two are together and I’m sure they won’t be surprised when you guys come out. Just do it and get it over with. I know you have numerous stay-at-home dates on your vlog camera that you’ve been wanting to post so you can finally post them after you guys come out and have more space to film more content with the both of you. As I said before, I say do the announcement in a car video or a podcast rather than making a single post about it. If you do it in a car video, you can sneak some photos of you and Finn in our photo dump and even post more on your personal account. It’s all your call but I really do think that the two of you should come out to everyone.”

Nick grows quiet for a moment and shifts his focus back down to Finn who’s still in a deep slumber in his lap. He slowly removes his hand from his boyfriend’s hair to rest his palm on his cheek. As he begins to delicately caress the male’s soft skin, his mind begins to spin about what Matt and Chris told him.

They do have a point… Him and Finn need to stop being scared of their fan bases and come clean about their relationship. They were bound to get some hate, that’s a known fact, but they’ll deal with it one way or another.

Besides, he really wants to post more couple-y content with Finn. Not even couple-y stuff he just wants to post and film more content with Finn in general!

“Alright.” Nick says with a soft sigh. When he lifts his head to focus his gaze on Matt and Chris, he’s immediately greeted with the two of them smiling widely at him. Nick shakes his head as Chris begins to shake Matt’s shoulder out of excitement and waits for the younger male to be done before he continues, “I'll talk to Finn about it in the morning. I think ima take him to bed.”

“Alright. Update us when you guys talk about it please.” Matt says, gaining a small head nod from the older who begins to gently shake his boyfriend’s shoulder. After a few moments, a small whine slips out of Finn’s lips before he turns around to lie on his other side and buries his face into Nick’s stomach.

“Baby, come on. let's go to bed, I know you’re tired.” Nick whispers as he cards his hand through Finn’s hair a few times.

“ ‘m not tired.” Finn mumbles, his words slurring together due to his tiredness.

“You fucking liar. Get up, come on.” Finn whines again when Nick gently pats his thigh.

“Carry me.”

“Are you serious right now?”

“So serious.”

A heavy exhale escapes Nick's lips as he rubs a hand over his face. “Fine. I still need you to sit up though.” Finn grumbles a response before pushing himself up into a sitting position. Nick lightly pushes the male off his leg to stand up before he takes a moment to stretch out his sore limbs.

After he’s composed, he turns to Finn and can’t help but chuckle when he sees the male leaning against the back cushion of the sofa, his eyes shut and steady breaths leaving his slightly parted lips. “You guys see what I have to deal with?” Nick asks, pointing a single finger at Finn as he looks over at Matt and Chris.

“We see. You chose to date him though so I don’t wanna hear you complain.” Matt replies, a small laugh escaping him as he glances over at Finn.

Nick simply rolls his eyes at the brunette's reply before he turns to face his sleeping boyfriend. In one swift movement, he picks the male up and holds him firmly against his chest, a single arm coming underneath his ass to keep him up. As Nick adjusts his hold on Finn, the latter wastes no time in wrapping his arms around the redhead’s neck, followed by his legs wrapping around his waist.

“You’re lucky you’re light. I would've immediately said no to carrying you.” Nick mumbles with a soft huff.

“Would you really?” Finn mumbles, his eyes drifting shut once more as he tucks his head in the crook of Nick’s neck.

“No, I lied.” As Finn giggles softly, Nick tells Matt and Chris goodnight before he starts to make his way up to his bedroom. As he climbs up the steps, he jumps a few times to ensure that he doesn’t drop Finn and to keep his firm hold on him. Once Nick gets up the stairs, he sighs softly and passes the dark and empty podcast studio before arriving at his bedroom door. He proceeds to struggle to open the door for a few moments however he manages to get it open with the help of Finn.

“Thank you, baby.” Finn simply hums in response, too tired to verbally reply, and returns to his spot on Nick’s shoulder as the male enters his bedroom. Before the redhead goes to set his boyfriend down on the bed, he stops in the middle of the room and looks down at him. “Hun?”

“Hmm?”

“Do you want to do your skincare before you go to bed or do you just wanna go to sleep?”

“I wanna go to sleep. I can do it in the morning, missing one night won’t hurt me.”

“Alright, let’s get you in bed.” Finn hums again, this time a lot quieter, as Nick makes his way to the bed. He carefully removes his boyfriend’s limbs from his body before he lays him down. “Do you wanna change or are you fine with what you have on right now?”

“I'm fine, just come lay down, hurry up. Taking too long.” Nick shakes his head with a soft chuckle at Finn’s impatience and quickly slips his sweatshirt off, leaving him in his plain white t-shirt. After folding and setting the clothing item on the nearby nightstand, Nick finally slips into bed. The moment he goes to pull the blanket over his body, Finn hooks an arm around his torso and pulls him flush against him. The sudden action draws a startled sound from Nick before he relaxes against his boyfriend’s hold, a small smile creeping onto his lips as he pushes his back further against the male’s front half.

“Don’t worry, I didn’t forget about the proposition I made,” Finn says, his voice soft and low as he securely wraps his arms around Nick to spoon the male. The redhead simply hums in response and tilts his head back to look back at his boyfriend. After peering down at him, Finn raises a single eyebrow at Nick and asks, “What is it?”

“Kiss please.” Finn playfully rolls his eyes before bending down and placing his lips on Nick’s. The latter hums contently before the taller pulls back and focuses on bringing the redhead as close as he can to his chest. Once the male is fully against his body, he quickly reaches for the blanket and pulls it over the both of them. After adjusting the large item so they’re both comfortably under it, Finn rests his chin on top of Nick's head and slips a hand up his shirt to absentmindedly trace circles on his side. At the sound of Nick humming, Finn smiles softly and lands a quick peck on the younger’s cheek.

“Goodnight my love,” Finn says as he returns to rest his head atop nicks.

“Goodnight,” Nick mumbles, his response barely audible as he begins to drift off to sleep. It didn’t take very long until both boys fell asleep, the faint sound of their snores being the only audible thing in the room as they slept soundly.
