"hey nerd" "hey doofus" -rodrick x reader

Rodrick laid on his stomach on his bed, texting Y/N. They had been messaging non-stop ever since Friday. They would wake up and message each other good morning and text each other back and forth non-stop until the end of the day when one of them fell asleep. Sometimes, the band got mad at him during practice since he would get distracted by seeing her notification.

It was now Monday night and Rodrick was kicking his feet, smiling and even giggling at Y/N's messages. It didn't matter what she texted him, he acted like a silly school girl.

nerd:))) : And then Scott stepped in Lee's shit
Rodrick: LMAOOOOOOOO
nerd:))) : My mom tried to warn him too but he stepped in it anyway
Rodrick: i wish i had a dog so i could put dog shit under greg's pillow lmao
nerd:))) : Lee has a lot in the yard you could use lol
Rodrick: okay i'll be right over lmao
Rodrick: let me jsut put on my shoes
Rodrick: just*
nerd:))) : Okay, I'll start gathering it into a pile

He laughed and shook his head before typing his reply. Y/N quickly responded but before he could answer, he heard his mom call out to him. "Hey, Rodrick? Could you come here, please?"

He turned off his phone, laid it on the bed before walking down the stairs.

His mom was standing by the bathroom door. He tried his best to mask the intense fear he felt.

"What happened to the lock?" she asked him, pointing at the door.

"Uh... I don't know what you're talking about," he replied.

"There was a lock on this door," his mom said.

"Um..." He pointed at the door and laughed. "I don't think so."

"Rodrick, I've lived in this house for ten years," his mother told him. "I've locked that door ten thousand times because, sometimes, it's my only moment of privacy of the day. I know there was a lock on that door."

"There wasn't. Trust me. Greg has walked in on me like, a million times, and if there was a lock, I would use it," he said. "In fact, maybe you should put one on."

"So that's your story?" his mom asked. "There was never a lock, and you have no idea what I'm talking about."

"Yes," he replied with a simple nod.

"Fine," said his mom. "I'll just go ask your brother the same thing."

Rodrick watched her walk away nervously. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit.

He hurried after her up the stairs and went into his room, picking up his phone.

Rodrick: i'm freaking out
Rodrick: please help me
nerd:))) : Why? What's wrong?
Rodrick: mom is getting suspicious about the door
Rodrick: she just asked me about it
Rodrick: i'm freaking out right now
Rodrick: she's going to tell greg
Rodrick: y/n please help me
Rodrick: if she finds out can i live with you please
nerd:))) : Yes, of course. But you know what you should do
Rodrick: what?
nerd:))) : Try and see if you can eavesdrop on what your mom and Greg are talking about
nerd:))) : And don't worry, I'm right here
nerd:))) : If things go south, pack your bags and drive over here
Rodrick: you got it boss

He shut off his phone and crept down his stairs. He sat on the last one and tried his best to listen in on the conversation his mother and his brother were having.

"Okay," he heard his mother's muffled voice say. "Okay."

He heard a door open and he peeked around the corner to see that his mother had just left Greg's room. He walked across the hall to his brother's room and pushed open the door.

"You... didn't buckle?" he asked, realizing that his mom had left Greg's room looking very calm.

"Deny, deny, deny, right?" Greg said.

Rodrick smiled. "You know... you may not be half as lame as I thought you were," he said before dashing out of the room and into his own. He flung onto his bed and pulled out his phone.

Rodrick: mom talked to greg
nerd:))) : Yeah? How did that go?
Rodrick: pretty good
Rodrick: from what i heard he didn't tell her
Rodrick: i thought he was going to tell her
Rodrick: but he's not that lame after all
nerd:))) : Did you tell him that?
Rodrick: yeah
nerd:))) : Awww
Rodrick: stop.
nerd:))) : Sorry
nerd:))) : It's just sweet when you're nice to him
Rodrick: please don't make a big deal about it
nerd:))) : I won't. I just think it's cute is all

His eyes widened and his cheeks coloured pink. Cute? Cute? Cute! She thinks it's cute! He smiled and typed out his response.

Rodrick: maybe i'll be nicer to him then
nerd:))) : He would like that, Rodrick
Rodrick: i mean who wouldn't want to hang out with me
nerd:))) : Speaking of hanging out with you, did you want to do something soon?
Rodrick: yeah of course
nerd:))) : :))
Rodrick: :)))
nerd:))) : I think I'm going to go to bed now
Rodrick: ok
Rodrick: goodnight y/n
Rodrick: sleep well
Rodrick: see you at school tomorrow
nerd:))) : Goodnight, Rodrick:)
Rodrick: :))

He turned off his phone and smiled. A few more days. That's all he had to wait. But that wait seemed like forever. But he knew he could handle a few days since he had been waiting for her the day she started tutoring him. He let out a sigh before closing his eyes. The last thing he thought about before he drifted off to the realm of sleep was her.

Author's note: the wait is almost over. just a few more chapters. i can't wait for it. i hope you are as excited as i am. anyway, i hope you had a good day/night. i appreciate you!!!!
