Since Blaine left the Dalton Academy to be with Kurt, Nick began to be in the Warbler's spotlight. Jeff was genuinely happy for his friend, he was an awesome performer and he really deserved it. But something was secretly affecting Jeff, secretly because he didn't knew what it was and also because he didn't let anyone know about it. He taught that probably it was because his best friend hadn't as much time for him as he used to.
On that day, Jeff waked particularly mad and he got madder thinking about the reason why he was like that because he didn't knew why. When he arrived school, almost everyone was already there and so he went there. Nick was there with their friends.
- Good morning everyone – said Jeff. Everyone replied, everyone but Nick. It seemed to Jeff that his friend was too occupied telling the other guys how he said no to a girl.
- Good morning Nick! – he was mad. But on a normal day it would be okay, he just couldn't help but feel that way.
- Oh, hi Jeff. Sorry – said Nick.
- It's okay. – Jeff said even though still on a grumpy mood.
It was already time to go to classes and so they went. They had only two classes that morning and they went normal and boring like must classes do. They had the free afternoon and Nick had invited Jeff to his house so they could study together for the tests that were coming.
- Blondie , ready to go? – asked Nick.
- Sure, how are we going? On the bus or walking ?
- Walking if you don't mind. – Jeff didn't knew but the reason Nick preferred to walk was because of how private their conversations could be, without anyone interfering or hearing anything.
- It's fine for me.
- Then, let's go.
They started to walk in direction to Nick's house but neither was talking, creating an awkward silence between them. And the weirdest was that they always had something to talk about.
- So, tell me, why didn't you accept to go on a date with that girl you were talking about when I arrived school? – Jeff was making this question just to break the silence.
- Well, she's not my type. – Nick was afraid to say the true. The true was that he was gay and he liked Jeff. But he was really afraid to say anything. It's harder a guy telling a guy he like him than a guy telling a girl the same. It's just not fear of rejection of the feeling, it's also fear of not being accepted…
- What his your type of girl then?
That question made Nick's secret really hard to hide since Jeff usually could tell when Nick was lying.
-Jeff, I hope you see me as you always did after I tell you this.
-I'm your best friend! Of course I will.
-Do you promise?
-I promise.
-Jeff, I I I'm…
-Nick, keep calm, I never judged you before why starting now?
-Well, I'm gay. – he said as he looked to his friend to see his reaction.
