nick's been in love with howie for so long, sometimes he forgets. it's become just another one of those things he doesn't have to think about anymore, like breathing, muscle memory, that little ache that flares and fades every time howie comes into the room.

(or, okay, he hasn't so much forgotten about it as he has learned to deal, because getting called on it by aj ("seriously, man, it's getting kind of pathetic."), brian ("nick, you know, if you ever want to talk--"), and kevin ("you could just tell him. you're both adults. figure it out.") is something he could have done without, jesus. he's in no hurry to repeat that again.)
