What They'll Say About Us // Nicky Harper x Reader

Odd Quad Out

Y/n was spending this Saturday in her uncle's restaurant, helping her family with preparations for a party that night. The Harpers were out recording a new commercial for Honest Abe's Tires. For her family, it was quite convenient that y/n couldn't go to the Harpers that day. They could use the extra pair of hands.

But y/n didn't like it that much. She'd rather be at the Harpers' house, gaming with Dicky or cooking with Nicky. Even knowing that that wasn't what she would've done today had she tagged along with them, she still didn't really like helping at the restaurant.

Y/n felt her phone buzz in her pocket, as she was setting one of the many tables in the restaurant. She stopped and grabbed her phone, checking her text. It was Dicky, who sent her a funny selfie of him and Nicky wearing the same fake beards and hats like every commercial. Y/n laughed.

"Look, they have to wear that stupid outfit again." She said, and wanted to show Damiano the picture of Dicky and Nicky. But Damiano, who was folding napkins, sighed.

"Okay, cool." He replied sarcastically, as he finished folding the last napkin, He then looked up at his cousin. "Can you now just stop talking about the Harpers for a second? We all know you'd rather be with them than with us."

Y/n frowned at what he said, not understanding why he thought that. She'd rather not be at the restaurant, yes, but not away from her family.

"I didn't say that." She replied.

"No, but it's true, right?" Damiano asked. He put his hands on the table, leaning into them.

"No." Y/n said and scoffed.

"Then why are you talking about them all the time instead of doing something fun with us?" Damiano asked, his eyebrows raised as he let go of the table. Y/n scoffed again.

"You call setting tables fun?" She replied, motioning the room.

"You know what I mean." Damiano said, crossing his arms.

"No, I don't." Y/n replied, "Just because your parents are out of the room for a second you think you can be a jerk again. Maybe you should stop that."

"I'm not being a jerk. I'm just pointing something out." Damiano shrugged, and walked over to another table in the room, his back turning towards y/n.

"And what are you pointing out exactly?" She asked, wanting to know why he was acting like this. Damiano turned back around.

"That you see the Harpers more as your family than your actual family."

Y/n frowned, confused by what Damiano said. That was bullshit, why would he say something like that? Yeah, she was really close with the Harpers and maybe did see them as family, but that didn't mean she saw them more as her family than her actual family.

"What? That is not true! Why would you-"

"Ragazzi, smettete di litigare." (Kids, stop arguing) Antonio said when he walked into the room, finding his son and niece arguing. "Those tables aren't gonna set themselves."

Y/n turned away from Damiano after giving him one more angry look, and walked back to the table she was setting before. Why did he always have to turn everything into an argument? She was just trying to show him a funny picture of her friends.

****Insert Intro Music*****

The Quads, y/n, Mae, and Molly were in the school cafeteria, having lunch. The Quads just told them what happened on the recording day of their tire commercial.

"So you guys just quit your big tire commercial?" Y/n asked, frowning at them with crossed arms. She was quite confused. The Quads always seemed to like that commercial and Tom needed the free tires, so why did they quit? What the heck did they just tell her?
