The last few blocks were the most stressful, but Nick managed it. Heading inside, he quickly headed up the stairs. He was so relieved to be inside that he lost his focus, and dashed up the last two flights in his bikini. He did notice that it didn't feel too bad... as long as no one was around for him to feel awkward, it felt nice and natural - unconstrained. It would be quite comfortable to just hang around wearing this, he thought.
Peeking quickly into the hallway at the top of the stairs, he saw no one, and so didn't bother trying to change it as he dashed the short way over to Megan's door. He had his key ready, and without any trouble unlocked and opened the door.
Nick breathed a sigh of relief and let himself relax and lean back against the wall, feeling again the odd comfort of the near-nudity the bikini offered. Just as he stood back up straight, he heard a voice "Hello?"
