1. Uptown Boy

The sun's rays beamed down on Jeff as he lay on a thick duvet of grass. It'd been a while since he'd last lay back and relaxed like this, the pressure of being the Warbler's new leader was getting to his head. Yes, he had the great opportunity to sing the lines he'd never been allowed to sing before. No, it meant that he had to handle all the documents for Regionals, Sectionals and Nationals, arrange a set list for the songs they were going to sing, who could sing a solo and who can't and it seemed like the list would never end.

All in all, it was a time consuming job and this also meant not enough time for—

"Hey."

Jeff cracked an eye open upon hearing the familiar voice and gave a little nod of his head.

"Hey to you too."

It was none other than Nick, fellow Warbler and his right hand man. They'd been meaning to go out for weeks on end now but they couldn't find the time for each other. To say the least, now that they had the opportunity to talk to each other it just felt... awkward.

Following the prolonged silence, Nick began to hum the tune to Uptown Girl and it felt as if all the bitterness of neglecting each other's feelings just disappeared. Jeff opened both of his eyes and held back a grin, trying not to sing along to the nostalgic song. Ah, the memories. Hadn't it have been for that song, Jeff wouldn't have built up the courage to compliment him and they wouldn't have started dating.

"He'll say I'm not so tough, just because, I'm in love with an uptown boy."

"He's been livin' in a white bread world~" Jeff continued, sitting up with a small smirk on his face. Nick opened his mouth to continue but instead, burst into a bout of melodic laughter, his hazelnut eyes crinkling at the corners.

"I knew you couldn't resist." The brunette teased, replicating Jeff's expression. Jeff just rolled his eyes and punched him lightly in the arm, giving him a knowing look.

"Are you insane? Of course I'd sing along."

Without warning, Nick brought his forehead against Jeff's and took a deep breath, brushing the stray strands of blonde hair from Jeff's eyes.

"I've missed you." He sighed, an embarrassed smile tugging at his lips. Jess closed his eyes and nodded, not caring what all the other students would think. Their school was full of flaming homosexuals anyway and dear lord, him and Nick were two of the mildest gays there.

"How about we go for a coffee?"

"After school?"

"Same time,"

"Same place."

Nick pulled away and pressed his lips against the top of Jeff's head, a brief kiss yet filled with all his feelings.

"I love you my Uptown Boy." He joked, readying himself to leave. Jeff just shook his head slowly with, undeniably, one of the most overjoyed looks that was humanely possible.

"I love you too, Nick."
