A/N: A little Neff for my friend. : )) And besides, not only Kurt and Blaine deserve a cute love story. Song inspiration: Love How It Hurts by Scouting for Girls! Enjoy! : D (ANOTHER RUSHED ONE SHOT FIC)
"Look at them…Just. Look. At. Them!" Nick pointed at Kurt and Blaine who were busy singing off a duet in a very romantic manner. "I wish I'd find my counterpart or else I'll lose my hope on humanity!"
David and Wes laughed at him as if he uttered the biggest joke ever. Meanwhile, Jeff just stayed quiet. If only Nick knew, he thought. He turned the page and continued reading…looking once in a while to glance at Nick.
"Wes, bro, do you have plans for tonight? I mean, it's weekend tomorrow and clearly the lovebirds over there are having a pre-honeymoon so…let's crash into Blaine's room and play Nerf!" David said to Wes who was listening to his iPod and banging his head in sync with the rock music.
"DID YOU HEAR ME?!"
"YES I DID! LET'S GO!" Wes screamed back and they stood up, leaving the music room.
Nick and Jeff were left alone in the room and the silence was louder than their breathing sounds. Jeff decided to break it since he didn't want it to be awkward.
"Nick, are you going home this weekend?" he asked casually, moving closer to his friend. Not too close, Jeff. Not too close.
Nick lopsided, unsure of what to do. Countless thoughts ran on his mind. Of course I needed to reply fast or else he'd notice that I'm drawling and I'd look stupid and I'd mess up again another lone time with my secret crush! Oh god oh god oh god!
Nick smiled nervously and spoke with hand gestures, which help him not to stutter. "Well, you know, haha. I'm just…go - going to… uh, walk? Ye - yeah. Walk around the neigh- neighborhood?"
Jeff grinned. "That's great!" he said, suddenly looking serious. He wrinkled and looked at him suspiciously. "Uh, can I come with you? If you like…or not."
"Oh, sure you can!" Nick smiled back. "So, where do we meet?"
"Library, in twenty."
"Oh, okay, see you!"
Jeff looked nervous as he walked back and forth at the library. Kurt held his shoulder and Blaine gave him a pep talk.
"Jeff, if I snagged someone perfect like Kurt, then you'd surely score Nick!" Blaine said, smiling at Jeff and then to his boyfriend.
Kurt smiled and looked longingly at Blaine. "Blaine, if you need another…bowtie! Yes, bowtie…you don't need to say those unconvincing yet very romantic lies."
"Okay, I need to prepare my props so I'll leave you two…do whatever you like to do," Jeff said, leaving Kurt and Blaine behind who were already looking at each with sexy faces.
He walked around the library, checking if all the papers were neatly placed on the carpeted floor and if everything was perfect for Nick.
He smiled and wished that Nick would like this. No, love.
Nick walked nervously towards the library, deeply thinking if he made the right decision of allowing Jeff to walk with him. He liked him a lot, but he knew where he stood. He wouldn't want to risk their friendship just because of the unsaid, possibly unrequited feelings.
He entered the library and a rolled up paper was hanging in front of him. Assuming that it was for him, he pulled the paper and unfolded it.
The people inside were glancing at him, and this made Nick feel uncomfortable. He wasn't used to being the center of attention - he was just a group member in the Warblers and he often hid himself with a book. He tried to ignore the glances and went back to the paper.
"This is Jeff's...small handwriting..." he whispered to himself.
Look down and follow the colorful papers with arrows. I know you have trust issues, but I think I've been a pretty good friend so I'm rambling, okay. Just...follow the footsteps, please.Okay, follow the footsteps, Nick. Don't be so nervous.
He followed the colorful papers until he reached the end of the library. His head was still down and as expected, he saw the familiar sneakers of Jeff. He looked up, making sure that it was him.
"Hi," Nick said, shyly.
"You went," Jeff replied, scratching his head. "Uh, the...last paper's behind me, so I think I have to turn around..."
Jeff faced the window and he heard Nick gasp. He heard a sniff so faced Nick again.
"Oh my god! Nick, I didn't mean to make you cry! I'm so sorry!" Jeff said, hugging Nick.
"No, Jeff!" Nick replied, smiling between his tears. "I just...love you too."
Nick closed the door of his dorm room and laid down on the bed with goofy smile plastered on his face. Today, he had his first kiss and first date. He didn't how it feels to be so happy until now. Especially since it's because of Jeff. Suddenly, his phone vibrated and he took it from his pocket.
Please open your door, love.
Nick rushed to the door and slowly opened the door for a little drama. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped when he saw Jeff standing outside with Kurt and Blaine. He had a guitar with him and Nick knew what he'd do.
"Would you like to come in?" Nick asked.
Jeff chuckled as he positioned himself with his baby. "I'd like to keep low-pro but, I just want to let the Dalton students know that you're the reason why I stayed with the Warblers."
Nick smiled sheepishly and smiled at Jeff. He started playing chords and the three boys outside his doorstep began to sing.
Three little words Tell me you noticed? I've been losing my mind Give me a moment Give me a moment Tell me you noticed?
That's all that I've got
Three little words,
Like it or not
Tell me you heard?
For you I'd have run to
the ends of the Earth
I couldn't keep you,
but I'll keep my word
It's the most beautiful
pain in the world
I love how it hurts
I pretend that it's fine
Trying to keep it together
While I crumble inside
You got a friend at
the end of the line
Give me a chance
Lost in the hurt
Caught in the past
Give me the past
Give me the hurt
I know we can last
Tell me you heard?
For you I'd have run to
the ends of the Earth
I couldn't keep you,
but I'll keep my word
It's the most beautiful
pain in the world
And I love how it hurts
This is our moment
This is our chance
I'll take all the hurt
forever we'll last
Yes I have noticed
and hell yeah I heard
for you I'll run to the
ends of Dalton
I'll surely keep you
hold onto my words
You're the most beautiful one
in the world
We'll be sweeter than Blaine and Kurt
Jeff gave his guitar to Blaine and kissed Nick.
Kurt smiled and looked at Blaine.
"I guess we're not the only ones who'll have a teenage dream."
"Tell me about it."
