His lips, his hair, his eyes, his smiles. They were stuck in Jeff's memory. The words coming from his lips. His hair, messed up from his hand running through it in frustration. His eyes, the fire and anger in them. His smiles, which Jeff would never be privileged to see again. Nick had ran out of their dorm room, telling him he'd come back to get his stuff later. It was over, Jeff was stupid enough to lose the love of his life. One of his greatest talents: Losing everything he lived for, everything he loved.
Tears kept running down Jeff's cheeks, but he let them be. It felt as if he had ripped his own hart out and given it to Nick, and then purposefully made him crush it. He got up after what felt like hours of sobbing, starting to pack Nick's stuff for him. He couldn't make Nick stay in this room for longer than he wanted. Nick probably didn't even want to see his face. The crying got him a head ache, but he continued packing Nick's stuff. He needed to get this done before he lay down and cried himself to sleep. He wrote a small note saying 'I'm sorry, I'll be here, waiting, if you ever decide you want me back. All my love, Jeff.' and put it on the bags he had packed for Nick.
After he was done, he pulled out one of Nick's old hoodies and put it on. He remembered all the fights him and Nick had over the hoodies, Nick planning on throwing them away and Jeff always saving them from the trash. Nick would always roll his eyes when he put one of them on, tell him he looked silly in those way too small and old clothes. He sunk down on his bed after stealing Nick's pillow of his bed, pressing it against his chest and sobbing quietly. After a while, he fell asleep, his eyes red and puffy and tear tracks on his cheeks.
The next morning he woke up with an arm around his waist and a warm body pressed against his back. He turned slightly to see Nick, laying next to him, eyes red and puffy as if he had cried a lot the day before, but his lips were curved into a smile. Jeff curled back into the arms of the love of his life, and went back to sleep, a content smile appearing on his face as well.
