Hey so... This is my first story and as you probably saw it's Niff :)
Not much to say just...THANK YOU in advance for reading it and if you have a minute i'd love a review. Questions and constructive criticism make a writer better so feel free to do them! Take into account English is not my first language so sorry for the mistakes or if it sounds weird sometime.
I have to thank Riley (balthyscrazyfan . tumblr . com) for fixing all my grammar mistakes :)
Ok! Nothing else to say just I don't own Glee neither Nick or Jeff and that's it :) Enjoy it :)
Who said University was easy? Who said that it was partying all the time? Who said you don't have to study hard? Who?! Those and many other questions were running on Nick's mind as he entered his last class of the 3rd week on hell, as he liked to call those first weeks at University. Studying was now part of his routine together with getting up at six, going to class, having 30 minutes to have lunch, having long boring classes again and then /finally/ heading home at 5pm if he was lucky enough, that's it, only to come home and study again!
As the brunet entered the classroom he took a random sit on the middle of the room so he could do both, have a nice view of the things that were about to be explained and also get lost every now and then if he felt like doing it. The bell rang the moment the teacher entered the room.
"Good afternoon guys!" Mr. Stevens, Nick's art teacher, said way too cheerful for his taste. "Today's class is gonna be pretty different from our previous classes since I am giving you the topic of your project that it's due to the end of this month ok? So I am guessing that 4 weeks is enough time right?" He laughed humorously causing all the class to groan. 'Great! Another day I'll be home late!' Nick thought bitterly as he tried to keep listening to what the teacher was explaining.
"Now you will pair with the person you feel more at ease and both of you will come here and tell me your names deal? Then I'm going to give you the topic and you can leave…easy!" Mr. Stevens said shrugging and took out a notebook as few people moved closer to his desk.
Nick looked around and found the guy next to him staring at him "Hey! Mhmm… I was wondering if you have a partner already?" The blonde guy said and Nick smiled politely and shook his head. "Indeed I don't… wanna be my partner?" he asked kindly and then offered his hand. "By the way…I am Nick, Nicholas Duval." The other male took his hand shaking it.
"Tyler, Tyler Sterling!" Both boys smiled to each other for a few seconds. "So…let's go and get our topic!" Nick said cheerfully and Tyler laughed.
"Yeah come on!" They stood and went to Mr. Stevens' desk finally picking the topic.
Once they were outside the classroom Nick looked at Tyler "So, are you free uhh… let's say, this weekend?" he shrugged and added, "You know, the sooner we get started the faster we finish it!" he shrugged again offering a little smile.
"Yes sure, I have to stay at home though since my parents are out of the country and I've got 4 younger siblings but…if you don't care…You can go to my place!" Tyler offered shyly.
"Four younger siblings? Woah!" Nick said chuckling. "Yes sure, here, give me your phone number and I'll send you a text so you can text me back your address!" The brunet took out his phone and gave it to his project partner so he could add his number. When Tyler gave it back Nick quickly typed a 'Hello – N' message and then looked up "So, 3 pm is a good enough time for you?" He smiled softly as the blonde nodded.
"Sure…See you then!" he said, nodding to himself as he sent Nick his address.
"Ok! See ya!" the brunet said and waved a little before walking away. This Tyler guy seemed like a nice guy, he only hopped his siblings weren't those annoying little spoilt kids that would cry and make a fuss over little things. Nick started praying and decided to go home by foot, that would help him to relax from this stressing week.
It was finally Saturday and Nick allowed himself to stay a little longer in bed but eventually he had to get up and have a shower. After he did so he went downstairs to grab some fruit for his breakfast and started doing some research for the project, after all, that's why he was meeting Tyler that afternoon, right? Some nice and interesting information was found on the net and Nick saved it on his pen drive. "This would be a nice start!" he smiled proudly and changed clothes and he heard him mother opening the front door.
"Nick Honey…are you still at home?" Susan Duval asked in her usual high-pitched voice.
"Yes mum…upstairs. I'm waiting you to have lunch!" he answered skipping his way down again.
"Oh Honey, thank you! I'll do something quickly so you can leave… It was 3 pm that you have to meet your partner right?" She asked now from the counter in the kitchen already taking some vegetables out of the freezer. Nick nodded and started helping his mother to chop while falling into a quick chat about how collage was going and the information he had found to do said project.
The lunch was nothing out of the ordinary. Nick's dad came home the moment the food was ready and the 3 of them talked about nothing and everything. The brunet really loved his parents, always so caring and accepting of the choices he took, even his sexuality.
Before he could even realize it was 2:30pm. "Well, seems like I have to leave. See you guys later!" He said kissing both his parents on the cheek.
"Take care Buddy, drive safe!" Mr. Duval said as Nick nodded and headed straight to his car. He put the address Tyler had given him on his GPS and started driving while singing along with the radio.
It was 2:58pm when Nick was parking on the front of what he thought was the Sterling's house. He slowly got out of the car and knocked 2 times waiting for a response. Seconds later his partner opened the door and greeted him happily. "Hey Nick…came in!" he said cheerfully high-fiving the brunet. Nick laughed and got inside waiting for the blonde to show the way. He started walking but stopped mid-track. "I'll introduce you to my sibling first and then we go ok?" Nick nodded and stood in the middle of the huge living room as the other male disappeared into one of the corridors.
"Mmmm…Hi!" was all Nick heard before quickly turning to where the voice was coming. There was standing the most handsome guy Nick had ever seen. He was tall, slim and blonde, just like Tyler but…there was something about him that called the brunet's attention. "Hey! I'm Nick!" he said offering his hand the same way he had done to his partner the previous day at University. The new blonde took it and shook it strongly causing some strange feeling inside Nick but he waved it off. "I'm Jeff," he simply said smiling warmly. "I'm the one that comes after Tyler…I'm 17 and he's 19!" he grinned and Nick had to blink a few times to break the spell of those beautiful greenish eyes. "Oh! It's good to meet you. I'm 19 too!" he said sweetly smiling widely without really knowing why. Another 3 blondes appeared together with Tyler. "I see you have already met Jeff so, this is Joe!" he said and a short, no older than 9 year old boy, waved. "Alana," a thin teenager waved and battled her eyelashes in what Nick thought was a flirty way but the brunet raised an eyebrow playfully, it wasn't her lucky day, he was gay as the fourth of July! "And Justin!" a punk looking teenager nodded as if acknowledging his existence. Nick smiled and introduced himself to the 3 of them before he and Tyler went upstairs to start the task in question, their project.
Four hours later both guys were not only bored but also quiet hungry. "Come on Man, let's get something to eat, I'm starving!" Tyler said and started walking to the kitchen, Nick following close behind.
Mid way they heard someone talking on the phone: 'he's too cute Blaine, I swear he is like a sex God!' The voice giggled, 'Yes yes you have to meet him.' He hummed, 'Yep, I'll ask Ty later!' Nick felt bad for overhearing, however Tyler laughed loudly while knocking the door
"Keep down your voice Jeffsters, I don't wanna know who is a sex God!" He shook his head as if in surrender and chuckled as they kept walking.
"Ok here, there's some tea and a sandwich! Sounds good?" The older blonde offered as Nick nodded. Seconds later Jeff got into the kitchen too.
"Jeff, do you want something to eat too? I can prep-"he was cut mid sentence by his phone ringing. Jeff shook his head, "Go and get it, I'll stay here with /your friend/," he said playfully as his older brother threw him a kiss and got out of the room.
"I am sure it is Lindsay, his girlfriend!" Jeff stated to a very confused Nick
"Oh! Thanks for the explanation!" he smiled and started eating before frowning. "Do you think you can get me some…sugar for the tea?" he bit his lower lip hesitantly.
"Oh yes, sure! Here you are!" Jeff handed him the sugar and sat in front of him smiling softly.
The brunet started a few minutes and then blushed when Jeff winked in his direction. A minute later Tyler got back to the room. "Oh sorry, you know, girls…"he said and his phone rang again. He groaned and excused himself going out again to talk more calmly.
"That's why I prefer guys!" Jeff muttered under his breath and Nick looked at him in shock. The blonde went as white as a sheet. "Yo-you aren't homophobic, are you?" He asked nervously and Nick started laughing, hard. Jeff titled his head to the side in confusion but couldn't help the grin that took place in his face, Nick's laugher was contagious. The brunet took a few deep breaths before shaking his head.
"I'd be pretty ironic if I did since I'm gay!" He smiled sweetly and Jeff opened and closed his mouth a few times not really knowing what to say.
"You are? Cool!" he said cheerfully and they both giggled a little. Tyler went back into the room and the 3 of them started talking about a new Tv program, nothing too interesting.
It's was 9pm when Nick found himself exiting the Sterling's house but with a huge smile plastered on his face since before leaving Jeff had stopped him and kissed his cheek. He sat in his car and rubbed his eyes letting his head fall back "Why am I acting this way? I may need to sleep, yes! That should be!" he said to no one in particular before starting the engine and driving home quickly. It wasn't a good idea to have a crush on your University partner's younger brother!
Nick arrived home later than expected and as soon as he opened the door Susan jumped on him "Oh Sweetheart I was worried about you! What happened that you're this late?" The brunet shrugged and told his mother everything about his stay at the Sterling's...that included many details about Jeff too.
