Chapter 1 - Reunion

"Jeff?"

The blond male turned around when his name was called. Immediately he saw a familiar face. He definitely couldn't forget those kind and amazing brown eyes. Nick Duval, his High School best friend at Dalton was standing right behind him and gaping.

After graduation Jeff and Nick hadn't talked to each other. The first month, there was passed a few text messages but then they stopped. And it has been now 5 years and Jeff was 21-years-old. Nick was 22-years-old.

"N-Nick?" Jeff said dumbly as he got up from the floor where he was kneeling and looked at the brunet. A broad smile spread to the brunet's lips and Jeff soon found himself being wrapped in Nick's arms. Wow, he is taller.

Nick laughed and pulled away. "What are you doing here? I mean… Jeff, New York. New York!" he exclaimed. Jeff just blinked and then suddenly let out a shocked laugh. "I came here after my graduation."

Nick gaped. "No way!" he said, smiling widely. "I did too", he told and Jeff rose his eyebrows.

Nick then looked around the shop. "Then next thing is", he started and looked at the blond man, slightly amused. "What are you doing at the flower shop?"

Jeff shifted uncomfortably and rubbed back of his neck. "Uh… I-I work at here", he told quietly. Nick then took in Jeff's name tag on his chest and made a small Oh sound. "T-that's great!" the brunet told and Jeff let out a small laugh. Yeah…

"What are you doing here?" Jeff asked instead.

"Well, usually people come here to buy some flowers, I think", Nick chuckled. Jeff nodded slowly. "To someone special?"

"Yeah", Nick said with a small smile. Jeff nodded again, trying to not look sad because his friend had found someone special and he clearly hadn't.

Nick however noticed this and sniggered. "To my mom", he told. "Her birthday was yesterday and I didn't make it back to Ohio, so I decided to send some flowers to her instead."

Jeff wanted to hit himself. Why he has to always think everything like that way?

The blond showed some flowers to Nick and the brunet decided to go with white roses. Because his mother loved them, simply as that. As the brunet had paid his flowers and was just about walk out of the shop, he turned around to look at Jeff.

"When does you shift end?" he asked a question which caught Jeff off the guard. However the blond looked at the clock and turned back to Nick. "In half hour. Why?"

Nick grinned and placed his hand on door knob already. "Do you mind, to catch some coffee after that? Just like the old times?" he asked and Jeff recognized the small hint of hope in his tone. The blond smiled and nodded. "Sure? Starbucks?"

Nick nodded: "Starbucks."

"So", Nick started and put his coffee back to table. "Are you going to tell me how did you end up to work at flower shop?"

Jeff swallowed his own drink and blushed slightly. "Umm… That shop belongs to my sister so it was easy to get job there. Also I really needed money", the blond told and shrugged at the end. Nick frowned and tilted his head. "But I thought you wanted to dance?"

The blond smiled sadly. "Yeah, well I am still dancing… But, well. I really like my job in that flower shop", Jeff told honestly.

Nick was quiet for a while. "And you are happy?" he asked finally and got a nod for the response. The brunet nodded and mumbled into his cup: "Good."

Now it was Jeff's turn to grin. "So, what are you doing?"

Nick sniggered and leaned to his seat. "You will never guess", he said cheekily and the blond cocked his eyebrow. Then his eye widened. "You are not a history teacher, aren't you?"

The other male let out a loud laugh. "No way!" he laughed. "I sucked at that subject and you know it", he added and calmed down. "But I am working in the hospital."

Jeff blinked surprised. "Wow, at hospital that is… amazing", he breathed. "You are working as a-?"

"A doctor", Nick said. Jeff nodded impressed and took a sip from his coffee. Actually, now when Jeff thought about it, Nick was really good and physics and chemistry at school. Not speaking about the Biology.

"Are you happy?" Jeff couldn't help but ask. Nick smiled and nodded. "I am. Very."

"It was really amazing to see you again Jeff", Nick said as they walked outside from the café. Jeff nodded in agreement.

They stopped by Nick's car. The brunet sighed. "I really missed you, Jeff", he told and rubbed his arm nervously. "I'm sorry that I didn't take contact to you and-"

"Nick!" the blond stopped him. "It's okay, really. I get it, we both were busy and so on", he told and added: "Besides, it's not only your fault. I was mine too."

They fell silent for a while, until Nick laughed. "But it's good that we are here again. Together at New York", the brunet grinned and went serious again. "Is your phone number still same?"

"Yeah, it is", Jeff nodded. "Is yours?"

"Of course", Nick rolled his eyes. "Do you have work tomorrow?" he asked and for his luck Jeff shook his head. "No, I have day off."

The brunet clapped his hands, until he realized how stupid it looked. "Great! We are going to catch those 5 years back", he winked and opened his car door. "Do you want a ride home?"

Jeff shook his head. "No, no. I live pretty close this place, so I'll walk", he smiled and backed away a little, so Nick could open his car door fully.

"Oh, okay", the brunet smiled and sat in his car. "See you tomorrow?" he said again with that hopeful tone. Jeff bit his lip and thought for a moment. Then he nodded with a small smile. "Y-yeah… I guess."

Nick grinned brightly. "Great! See you tomorrow, Jeffy", he winked and Jeff gaped at him. He still used and actually remembered that nickname.

For the first time in 5 years, Jeff actually smiled as brightly as he had smiled in High School.

"I'm home", the blond called and put his jacket on coat rack. He then heard a small foot steps running towards him and excited voice: "Daddy!"

Jeff turned around and was greeted by a small 4-years-old girl hugging him, or actually his leg. The blond beamed and kneeled down to lift the girl up. "Hello, my little princess", he cooed and kissed her cheek. The girl giggled and hugged the male.

"Did you have a nice day?" Jeff asked smiling and the girl nodded eagerly. "Rissa and I made paintings", the girl told and grinned. Jeff pouted. "Now I am jealous", he told and put the girl down again. "Can I see them?"

The girl nodded and dashed back to where she came from. Jeff chuckled amused and took finally his shoes off. Then he walked to same way where Mona, the girl ran and came face to face with the woman.

"Clarissa", Jeff greeted and the woman hugged him. The blond returned the hug. "Did you guys had fun today?" Jeff asked and Clarissa nodded. "Yes, I and Mona did some paintings… She mentioned it?"

Jeff nodded and smiled. "Thank you for watching after her today", he thanked and Clarissa laughed waving his hand. "It's okay, really", she told and smiled. "I like spending time with Mona anyway…. She is really good kid."

The blond smiled a little. "She really is", he agreed and threw his bag to couch. Jeff rubbed his forehead tiredly.

"Long day?" Clarissa asked as she picked up her jacket. The blond nodded and looked at his friend. "Yeah… I bumped into someone", he told. The woman cocked his eyebrow and a smirk spread across his face. Jeff pointed at her. "Don't you even dare to say anything", he warned.

Clarissa giggled and threw her hands up as a surrender. "Okay, okay", she told and wrapped her scarf around her neck. "Do you need my help tomorrow?"

"Ah, no", Jeff said. "Mona has daycare tomorrow and… I have plans after when I bring her there."

Clarissa again smirked, but didn't say anything under Jeff's gaze. But because Clarissa was woman and usually women were pretty curious, she had to ask: "Who is this lucky guy?"

Jeff stood up, stretching. "No one… Just a friend of mine from Dalton", he told shrugging. He walked to look at the table and checked his voice mail. Then he turned around and came again face to face with Clarissa. "Holy shit!" he exclaimed and sighed in relief. "Don't ever do that again…"

"Is it that guy who I think it is?" the woman smirked and Jeff shifted uncomfortably. "No…" he lied even he knew that Clarissa saw through him. The woman patted his shoulder an leaned back. "You deserve happiness Jeff, seriously", she told and leaned to give a kiss to the blonde's cheek. "After your-"

"Don't", Jeff interrupted her and laughed coldly. "Just… don't, okay", he sighed and rubbed his temples. Clarissa nodded and smiled one more time, before she walked to corridor.

"You know you can call me anytime you need me, Jeff?" she said and the blond nodded. "I know… Thanks, Clarissa."

"What do you think you are doing?" Nick asked and crossed his arms, looking at David who was leaning against his door frame. The man had bags with him and he grinned brightly. "Sleepover", he said. Nick coked his eyebrow.

David sighed. "Wes isn't home and I feel lonely okay?" he said and pouted. The brunet rolled his eyes. Wes was busy with his Broadway shows and wasn't at home very often. Not in this month.

Nick groaned and opened the door so David could walk in his apartment. "Do you know that I must stand your face at work and now you are living here?" the brunet mumbled. He closed the door and walked after his friend to living room. "Why didn't you go to Blaine and Kurt's apartment?"

David shot him a serious look. "Do you know", he started and dropped his bags. "After 5 years they are still acting like they have just started to date… I am puking rainbows", the darker male told and Nick actually snorted. He had to agree with that.

"What about Thad?" the brunet asked. David laughed. "He moved to Chicago, remember?"

"Oh… right", Nick mumbled and then sighed. "Fine, live here… But when Wes comes back home. I am kicking you out."

"Yes, sir!"

Nick and David were sitting on couch and watched a movie, which David had picked up. Nick didn't really pay attention to movie. He only thought about this day and Jeff. Even the thought of the blond male got him smile like a damn teenage boy. He still had feelings, yes that kind of feelings towards Jeff.

After they graduated, Nick had promised to himself that he will tell to Jeff about his feelings. But just when the moment was right, he got scared. What if the blond wouldn't return his feelings and their friendship and epic bromance got ruined.

So simple as that, Nick didn't tell him.

Now Nick got a new change what he had hoped for a long time. 5 years. Now he was sure that he was brave enough to tell Jeff.

"I saw someone today", Nick opened his mouth and David hummed, focusing on the movie and put a handful of popcorns in his mouth. "Yeah… Jeff S. Sterling."

David actually almost chocked on his popcorn and stopped the movies. "Oh my God", the male breathed and turned to look at the brunet with wide eyes. "He is at New York?!"

Nick smiled. Dreamily. "Yeah", he said and David frowned. "Why didn't he tell any of us?" he asked confused. Nick shrugged. "Don't care… Okay, I do care", he said and straightened from his space. "I am going to catch up those 5 years with him tomorrow", he smiled.

"Nice", David grinned. "Is he dancing?"

That was when Nick's smile fell. Right, Jeff wasn't dancing like he had dreamed about. The brunet remembered the day when Jeff was so excited when he got into that Dancing Academy… He was so happy.

But now he wasn't at there… What had happened?

"N-no", Nick told, he didn't want to lie to his friend. The darker male nodded slowly. "O-oh… Then what is he doing exactly?" he asked.

"He is working at flower shop", Nick told. David burst into laughter. Then he noticed Nick's serious face and stopped immediately. "Oh, you are not kidding…"

"No."

"Daddy, daddy!" Mona cried as Jeff was just about walk out of her room. The blond turned around to look at the girl and smiled. He walked back next to Mona's bed and sat on the edge. "What is it, honey?"

Mona squeezed his bunny plushie. "Can you tell me a story, can you? I really love your stories, daddy", the girl asked her big brown eyes shining. Jeff couldn't resist those. He sighed playfully. "Alright then", he told and pulled the blanket closer Mona. "But then you are being a good girl and sleep like a princess, okay?"

Mona grinned cheekily and nodded. "Okay", she told and pulled out a fairytale book. She flipped over the pages and pointed at the one story.

Jeff took the book and cocked his eyebrow. "You will never get tired of this story, do you?" he asked gently and the girl shook her head.

The blond male cleared his throat and began to read: "Once upon a time there was a kingdom, which was ruled by a king and his wife. They had no child and they were miserable…"

Jeff red the story and once it was end, he looked at Mona who was sleeping peacefully next to all her stuffed animals. The blond smiled softly and leaned down to kiss her forehead. "Goodnight, honey."

He walked out of Mona's room and walked to his own room, yawning. Jeff put on his pajama and drowned under his blankets. The blond sighed and turned to turn his alarm on. He placed the clock back to his nightstand and then looked at the picture next to it.

There was a blond woman, next to Jeff and they both were smiling. Jeff blinked his tears away and smiled. "Good night, sister."
