New story. I hope you guys like this. Its a one-shot. Jeff Nick Both
Jeff walked down the halls of Dalton like he owned it. He was the lead of the Warblers and no one fucked with him. He hardly smiled or talked until he was with friends or in Warbler practice. To everyone he never ate. But he always ate in his dorm. His roommate was like so scared of him that he always staied in someone else dorm. Like he cared. It was a Friday when he was told that he would be getting a new roommate. All he did was roll his eyes and walk away. So, he managed to scare away yet another roommate. He didnt mean to he was just used to being scary looking to protect himself from the bullies and his father. Friday afternood after classes and dinner he was back in his dorm listening to music. It was loud the way he loved it. He was singing along and dancing to the song he was listening to.
I've been cursed
I've been crossed
I've been beaten by the ones
That get me off
I've been cut
I've been opened up
I've been shattered by the ones
I thought I loved
You left me here
Like a chalk outline
On the sidewalk
Waiting for the rain to
Wash away
(Wash away)
You keep coming back
To the scene of the crime
But the dead can't speak
And there's nothing left to say
Anyway
All you left behind
Is a chalk outline
I've been cold
In the crypt
But not as cold as the words
Across your lips
Jeff sang the first part of the song "Chalk Outline" by Three Days Grace when he heard a knock on his door. He groaned and went to open the door not even turning the music down. He soon came face to face with two of his best friends. Kurt and Blaine. He didnt see the new guy standing behind them.
"Hey dudes.. Here to have another threesome?"
"No, I heard "Chalk Outline" playing."
"Kurt everytime I play a song you know you always just sit outside my dorm and listen to it." Jeff smirked making Kurt and Blaine smile.
"I know, thats not the reason we are here."
"So you are here for another threesome."
"No Jeff." Blaine chuckled, "We were told to show the new kid around. He is also your new roommate."
"So? A four-way?"
"So Jeff, there will be no sex today." Kurt rolled his eyes at his friend, "Will you just say hi to him?"
"You know I dont talk to new people."
"Well your having no trouble talking in front of him." Blaine pointed out.
Hearing that Jeff became silent and his eyes grew wide. He was talking in front of someone new. He looked around but he didnt see anyone. He looked back the two boyfriends and shrugged. With that Kurt took a step to the side so Jeff could see his new roommate. The kid was blushing a deep red but yet was looking at the ground.
"Jeff Sterling. Meet Nick Duval." Blaine smiled.
Jeff only glared at him. he grabbed his notebook and wrote down a note and showed it to Kurt and Blaine.
Fuck you. Fuck you both! Why didnt you stop me from talking? You know how I am!
Nick looked up just in time to read the short note.
"Look Jeff. We are sorry but you have to start talking to more people and not just me, Blaine and the rest of the Warblers."
Kurt! I cant do that! You and Blaine both know what I went through as a kid! I have known you guys and half of the Warblers my whole life! I trust you! I cant trust others and mostly I cant trust some new kid that I NEVER met before until now!
Kurt and Blaine both sighed.
"Please Jeff. Just try." Blaine said taking Kurts hand and walking away leaving Jeff and Nick alone.
They staired at each other for a good 15 minutes. The song "Comatose" by Skillet blaring in the back ground. Jeff let out another groan as he walked back to his system and shutting it off while letting Nick come in.
"No. Leave it on. I like this song." Nick shyly said.
Jeff only looked at the guy and left the song on to play but he did turn it down. Jeff flopped down onto his bed and grabbed the book he was reading from his night stand and started to read. The title of the book read "Equal Rights For Teens." and Nick only shyly smiled.
"I read that book a few times. I loved it."
Jeff looked over to Nick and opened his mouth to say something but stopped himself and grabbed his notebook.
Well I am gay and I would love to walk down the street holding hands with my boyfriend... If I ever get one and stop scaring people away.
"I would love to walk down the street holding my boyfriends hand as well, but I cant. My father says its a sin to do so."
Same with my father. I hate him. Him and my family.
Nick frowned when he read what Jeff had wrote.
"From what you said earlier.. I know that you think you cant right now. But you can trust me and you can talk to me if you need to."
Thanks but no thanks. And if your about to ask "Why not" go ask Kurt and Blaine.
Nick sighed and looked away. He heard his all time favorite song "Lovestruck" by Blood On The Dance Floor start playing and he started to softly sing along with it. Not knowing Jeff was listening to him.
You are my everything
You taught me how to sing
You took a chance on me
Opened my heart to see
You have that golden key
That simply sets me free
You are my only hope
The one i need the most
You are my light in dark
The ever shining spark
You are my other half
You always make me laugh
You are my dearest friend
Forever til the end
Were simply meant to be
For it is plain to see
Im
Fallin, fallin, fallin,
Fallin, fallin, fallin,
Fa fa fa fall
Im so in love with you
(its a lovestruck)
And all the things you do
(its a lovestruck)
i know you'll get me through
(its a love struck)
I was livin' in hell
until you casted your spell
Jeff made a small smile as he listened to Nick. His voice was beautiful and he thought how his voice would sound mixed with his. Without even thinking he joined with Nick.
So in love with you
(its a lovestruck)
And all the things you do
(its a lovestruck)
I know you'll get me through
(its a love struck)
Oh la la la la la la la la lovestruck
I can't see myself without you
Now that i've had a taste
Everytime i close my eyes
I fell your lips i see your face
I'm taking back
Every hateful thing
i ever said about love
i realize i need it, and baby your the one
I only smile when i'm with you
I spend all day missin you
Im lovestruck in your head
Every thought, every breath.
You've turned this boy into a man
I promise to love you like no one can
Here we are, hand in hand
My dream came true now i'm your man
Nick looked at Jeff when he heard him singing as well. He was shocked he read that he never talked unless he was still people he trusted and he never sung with anyone. He always sung alone.
Im
Fallin, fallin, fallin,

Oh la la la la la la la la lovestruck

Before i fell in love with you

Oh la la la la la la la la lovestruck
Cupid got me when i let down my guard
Who knew it was so great?
Who knew i'd fall this hard?
We can run away, and never look back
Forget about our past, the future's what we have
Nick smiled at Jeff when the song ended.
"Your good."
Thank you.. Your voice is beautiful. You should join the Warblers.

Warblers practice. Jeff was joking with friends like he normally did. All until Nick walked in. Everyone looked at him and all smiled.
"Everyone. Nick here wants to join the Warblers. So Nick you have a song for us?" Wes asked. Nick nodded.
"Alright lets hear it." Thad smiled.
Music started and Nick started to sing.
I saw you standing in the middle of the thunder and lightning
I know you're feeling like you just can't win, but you're trying
It's hard to keep on keepin' on, when you're being pushed around
Don't even know which way is up, just keep spinning down, 'round, down...
Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain
Nick was mostly singing to Jeff, he would look his way now and again. Jeff and Kurt both saw and Kurt smiled. Jeff didnt move at all, he knew this song and he would listen to it whenever he needed to calm down.
So hold your head up and tell yourself that there's something more
Walk out that door
Go find a new rose, don't be afraid of the thorns
'Cause we all have thorns
Just put your feet up to the edge, put your face in the wind
And when you fall back down, keep on rememberin'
Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain
It's gonna run out of pain
It's gonna run out of sting
It's gonna leave you alone
It's gonna set you free
Set you free
Jeff looked at the ground so he didnt have to look into Nicks eyes any longer.
Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain
It's gonna set you free,
It's gonna run out of pain,
It's gonna set you free
Nick finished his song and everyone cheered and clapped. All but Jeff. He just sat there still looking down at the ground. He really did want to clap but he couldnt bring himself to do so. So all he did was stand up and run out and back to his dorm. Everyone watched him as he did so.
"Whats wrong with jeff?" Trent asked.
"I dont know, he was perfectly fine a few minutes ago." John said.
"I think I might know." Kurt blurted, "Ill be right back."
With that Kurt left and went right to jeff's dorm and walked in and saw Jeff sittin gon his bed. Kurt closed the door and went to sit next to Jeff.
"He broke down one of your walls didnt he?"
Jeff nodded.
"So why did you run?"
"I couldnt say in the room another minute."
The Warblers were outside listening in even Nick.
"And why is that?"
"He broke one of my walls Kurt. If I stayed in there I would have talked and you know how I am with someone new."
"Yes I do know. But I bet you forgot, he is your roommate."
"I know!" Jeff raised his voice, "I know and im scared! He is the very first guy to break one of my walls down!"
"Jeff calm down. You will have to talk to him."
"How? How Kurt? I cant!"
"I will for you. I will tell him that he broke one of your walls and that your scared of what would happen."
"Fine."

Weeks went by and Jeff grew a bit closer to Nick since the day Kurt talked to Nick about what happened. Its scared Jeff because now he has broken down another wall and is now working on the thrid one. He didnt want his walls knocked down. He was talking to him but only a little. Jeff would go from talking to writing.
"How was your day Jeff?" Nick asked.
Jeff only shrugged.
"Bad day I take it?"
"Yeah."
"Wanna talk about it?"
"Not really."
"Well if you want to im here."
Jeff nodded.
"Alright, its friday.. Have any plans for the weekend?"
"No." Jeff sighed, "Nick?" Jeff then said after a few minutes of silence.
"Yeah?"
"What does being in love feel like?"
"I really dont know. I never been in love."
Jeff sighed and looked at his lap.
"Why?"
"Because i think I am in love."
"With who?"
"Guess."
"David?"
Jeff shook his head.
"Wes?"
"No."
"Do I know him?"
"Well I hope so."
Thats when Nick started to relise, "Is it me?"
Jeff looked away and held up a thumb showing him that he was right.
"For how long?"
"Since the day you broke down my second wall."
"So for 3 weeks?"
"I guess." Jeff said in a whisper and shrugged.
Nick only smiled and moved over to Jeffs bed. He made jeff look at him.
"What?"
"Can I try something?"
"I-I guess." Jeff said.
Nick smiled leaned in and kissed Jeff. The kiss lasted a few minutes before they pulled apart.
"I fell in love with you too."
THE END! I hope you guys liked it.
