Well, my new Story, I really hope you enjoy it. I thought it would be nice to have another story station in uni :) Please, tell me if you like it, feel free to criticise

"... and then he said: wasn't that about the rabbit?", Sam laughed, while Jeff was only listening with one ear. He loved he, but sometimes his best friend was not realising, that he really didn't want to hear about her girlfriend stories. The problem was, he missed being in a relationship, it had been two and a half years, since the beginning of college, that he had been single. He just couldn't keep up with the expectations Paul had had. Columbia was a uni that expected you to commit fully, and he had been unable to get to Ohio regularly. And therefore he understood that Paul had left him, it was unfair if Paul was expected to live without his boyfriend, most of the time. But that didn't mean that Jeff didn't miss it. The cuddling, the kisses and simply being able to stare at the movement of Paul's eyebrows, when he talked. He just missed being intimate with someone. The friends he had found were amazing, he could talk about everything with Sam and Rachel, but it was not the same.

"I am so sorry, I make you feel sentimental, don't I?", Sam asked. Jeff really wanted to say no, but he hated lying. So he nodded, having an apologising look on his face. "Sorry. You know what?", Sam's voice enflamed, not a good sign. "I think I have an idea." Oh no, not one of her ideas again.

Sam got up, went to another table, where a guy was sitting on his own. He looked rather cute, brown hair, wide shoulders, and Jeff was sure he was straight. People like this were always straight.

"Jeff!", Sam screamed across the room, "Come over!" What could go wrong...

"Hey, Jeff. This is Nick", she pointed to the brown haired guy. "Nick, this is Jeff." She repeated the pointing. "Okay, and to avoid awkward questions, yes, you are both gay, single, and in the mood of meeting someone, you can thank me later." She pushed Jeff into the comfortable, red couch, next to Nick and left.

Nick grinned. "You have a funny friend there."

Jeff smiled uncomfortably. This was so embarrassing. "Yeah, sorry about that."

Nick grinned wider. "No problem. It was good she was there, I am way to shy to ask out other guys."

"I know, I have the same problem.", he smiled, now having found some confidence. "She is cool."

They both laughed. Then Nick started to ask a question and they went on for the whole night. It was one of those perfect moments, you meet someone and you two have no problem talking, you are never lacking a topic. That was until Nick asked what Jeff was doing in NYC after they had found out, that they had actually visited the same high school, only four years apart. "They world is so small, isn't it?" Nick said smiling. "So what made you move to New York then?"

Jeff was grinning. This was the best thing that happened to him in years. "Well, I got excepted into Columbia. I want to major in business studies, how about you?"

Nick grinned so wide, Jeff could actually see a hint of a dimple. "Well, I am actually in the DDS program of columbia. I am in my second year of dental school."

"Oh, great.", Jeff said. He felt sick. He had started liking this guy a lot, and he was pretty certain that Nick felt attracted to him, too. But those were no good news at all. How would he, Jeff Sterling, who had been afraid of the dentist since the dawn of time, how would he be able to go out with a dental student?
