Nick had gone over to Jeff's place to study while Jeff's brothers were out for the night, though they both knew that there was going to be little study, if any, done that night. Nick had taken his books anyway, but they were currently lying forgotten in a pile on Jeff's floor where he'd dropped them when Jeff initiated an activity he found a lot more interesting.
Jeff currently had him pushed up against the wall, Jeff's hands keeping him in place and lips trailing along his jaw and down his neck where he proceeded to nip and suck at the skin.
"How am I going to explain the hickeys?" Nick managed to get out a full sentence in between almost breathless moans.
"I don't care", was the response. "I like seeing them."
And suddenly Jeff pulled him away from the wall and lifted Nick, who wrapped his legs around the blonde's waist as he was carried over to Jeff's bed. Once Jeff let him down he dragged himself slightly up the bed so his head was lying against the pillows, and Jeff followed, crawling on top of him and giving him a kiss that left Nick's head spinning. When they finally separated for air, Jeff once again trailed kisses down his neck, before continuing over Nick's collarbone and down his chest as Jeff began to undo his shirt one button at a time.
One hand resting on the back of Jeff's head, Nick breathed out, "It's been so long."
"Hmm?" was the response, as Jeff moved back up to look Nick in the eyes.
"Since we've had any proper alone time. I miss being with you, like this."
Jeff placed a quick kiss on Nick's lips and said, "I can't tell them Nick, you know that".
"But why not? They're your brothers Jeff. They won't hate you."
Jeff sighed and moved so he was resting on his side next to Nick, leaning on his hand. Nick mirrored his movement, and he couldn't help the small smile that crossed his face when Jeff's hand subconsciously began to softly move along his arm, up and down, over and over.
"We've talked about this before Nicky".
"No we haven't".
At Jeff's look of confusion, Nick continued, "You told me that you wouldn't tell them we're together yet, but I was so incredibly in love with you I would have agreed to anything if it meant I could be with you. Now, though… I need more than just these fleeting infrequent rendezvous. I want to be able to tell people about you, and how happy you make me, and how amazing you are…"
Trailing off, Nick pressed his lips against Jeff's, who pulled back a moment later, resting their foreheads together, to say, "Flattery will get you nowhere."
Nick moved on top of Jeff, pushing him back onto the bed. "From past experience, I can tell you that flattery gets me everywhere." Jeff moaned, and their mouths found each other, only breaking apart to take in air and remove their shirts. Suddenly, Jeff flipped them and Nick found himself on his back, Jeff nipping at his earlobe, trailing kisses over his cheek to his lips.
Breaking apart once more, Jeff said, "I'll tell them."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I mean, it's important to you. And you're important to me. So I'd do it, for you."
Nick couldn't resist the huge smile that broke across his face as he pulled Jeff in to kiss him again.
