Hey thanks for reading this! I hope you enjoy! I also am sorry for mistakes I don't have anyone proff read them, but I did my best.
Jeff's POV
It all started at a party. It was with the Warblers, then some friends and girlfriends but it had grown, and I didn't recognize half of the people here anymore. I was glad I'd talked David and Wes out of having it at my house. Now I don't have to worry. Well worry about anything except Nick, my best friend ever since the day I challenged him on the monkey bars where we were eight and he broke his arm. The teacher made me help him with everything for the next couple months and we became inseparable. Now it hurt to watch him talk to girls, at least he didn't date much. He'd dated a couple of girls for a week or two here or there but he always broke it off pretty quickly, but it still hurt. I was in love with him. Like in love. L.O.V.E. With my best friend, my roommate, my partner in crime, but I'm learning to deal. Reminding myself that he isn't gay, or at least hasn't come out of the closet. No Jeff don't even go there. You're getting over him. I'm getting over him.
"Hey" I hear and turn away from where I've been staring at Nick.
"Hey" I say to the boy who just walked up. He had light brown hair and a creepy smile.
"If I was an enzyme I'd be helicase so I could unzip your genes." He said with a smirk.
That has to be the nerdiest pick up line I've ever heard, and I'm so not in the mood to be hit on.
"Sorry I'm not a fan of our chemistry." I turned and walked off to get another drink.
Nick's POV
I scan the party and see Jeff standing of the other side of the room with a boy I've never seen before. He smirks at him and says something before walking away. I smile. Jeff's playing hard to get again, but hey, he's way to hot for that guy. Hot? Where did that come from? Jeff walks up. "What did that guy want ?" I ask. Jeff blushes.
"He was hitting on me. He told me he wanted to be helicase so he could unzip my genes." That jerk hitting on my man. Wait, no my friend, I have no claim to him.
"Wow. That may be the nerdiest pick up line I've ever heard." I told him.
"No, not the worst I've heard." Jeff smiled at me.
I raise my eyebrows now I'm intrigued "What's the worst?"
"You'll have to guess." He winks at me and my stomach feels funny. Jeff says something about about a drink and walks off.
Guess huh? I think I can do that. I pull out my phone and google nerdy pick up lines.
To: Jeffery Jefferson Jefferies: Jeff you are like a dictionary. You add meaning to my life.
I shove my phone back in my pocket, just in time to get pulled up on the landing on the stairs and handed a mike. I'd managed to avoid the karaoke all night, so I relented and waited for the song Wes and David had picked. I grimaced as I heard the beginning of Justin Bieber's Baby start up, but I was to tipsy to care how dumb I looked so I started to sing.
Jeff's POV
I feel my phone ring and pull it from my pocket I pull it out and pull up the text. It's sent from 'The best roommate ever', so Nick's been messing with my phone again. Typical.
From: The best roommate ever: Jeff you are like a dictionary. You add meaning to my life.
To: The best roommate ever: Aww you're so sweet! Try again.
From: The best roommate ever: Am I the piece that finishes your puzzle?
He is, but I'm not gonna tell him that. I'm never going to tell him that, I could never tell him that. He is not gay. I'm not losing him just because I want to kiss him.
To: The best roommate ever: I wish *sighs dramatically while thinking about your eyes*
I hit send then realized: we were seriously flirting, he was sending me pick up lines, I told him he was sweet. It was nerve racking, but it might get me somewhere, just maybe he'll think twice about me. NO! No I can't think that way. I need to get over that. I need to think.
From: The best roommate ever: If you were a Pokemon you'd be Pikachu because I choose you
To: The best roommate ever: I thought you stopped with the Pokemon thing after ninth grade?
From: The best roommate ever: I'd like to Pik-a-chu
To: The best roommate ever: I guess not
From: The best roommate ever: Are you a 90 degree angle because you're lookin right
To: The best roommate ever: I'm always looking right
From: The best roommate ever: Are you full of beryllium gold and titanium because you are be-au-ti-full
To: The best roommate ever: You and I both know I don't get chemistry...
From: The best roommate ever: I know we're not in Professor Flitwick's class, but you still are charming
To: The best roommate ever: Oh I like Harry Potter!
It was David's house and he threw parties pretty often so I've been here before. I walked two flights of stairs and found what I'd been looking for the little alcove at the back of David's room and laid down on the little couch to think, but the alcohol in me got the better of me and I passed out before I could get serious about getting over Nick. I felt my phone go off again just as I drifted off but ignored it.
Nick's POV
I got down off the stairs after the longest stream of Justin Bieber songs I've ever been forced to sing, and wandered the party talking to Warblers and their friends, and girlfriends. I was drug onto the dance floor by a very drunk Blaine who told me three times that Kurt had fallen asleep and he'd tucked him in because Kurt was so cute asleep, but when he started the story a fourth time, I told him I was tired and walked off to mingle again.
The party had emptied and there were maybe a dozen people left only Warbles and a girlfriend or two. I want to go to bed, so I looked around for a couch, but they were all taken so I walked up the two flights of stairs to where I knew I'd find my roommate asleep and climbed on top of him wiggling until I was between him and the couch. I wrapped an arm around him and fell asleep.
Jeff's POV
I woke up in the morning feeling hot, and squished, the sun was in my eyes and my head hurt. I moaned and tried to wiggle to face away from the sun, but felt arms tighten around me I looked down to were they covered my chest. Nick's watch. I rolled my eyes and shoved his arms until they loosened enough for me to turn into his chest to drift off again.
Jeff's POV
I woke up a little by being shoved to the ground. Nick landing on me. I groaned, and Nick yelled "Wes! David! We'll get you for this!" He climbed off of me and helped me up. We stumbled downstairs for coffee and food, and after we were feeling a bit better Nick asks "Did you get my text last night?" I shook my head and pulled out my phone.
From: The best roommate ever: Going to bed? Mind if I Slytherin?
I laugh at him, "Nope. Not it, but I see you did that anyways." he grinned. "I'll get it."
Nick's POV
So I am seriously flirting with my best friend. My gay best friend. My smart, hot, funny, sexy, cuddly, single best friend. Well shit maybe I'm not as straight as I thought. I'd never thought much of it before, it just didn't come up.
I didn't think twice when Jeff told me he was gay. It's not like he's flamboyant about it, but he'd get all awkward if I talked about girls and ran crying from the girl who kissed him in fifth grade. He told me the summer after we'd graduated our little private k-eighth school but before we came to Dalton. I'd just told him that I already knew, unpaused our halo game, and kicked his ass for the first and only time, I guess he'd been a little distracted.
Now I'm a little lost. I've never had feelings for a guy before, but I've definitely thought guys were hot before, and I've had many arguments with Jeff over who the hottest Avenger is. My vote is Captain America for sure, but Jeff has a thing for Tony Stark saying the brains and sarcasm add to his hotness, but I've always argued that I'm smart and sarcastic and that doesn't make him attracted to me...oh how did I not notice? How long have I been flirting with Jeff? More importantly how long has he been flirting back? What does this mea...
"Nick!" I shake myself back to reality. "We're here." Jeff says as he pulls the keys out of the ignition. "Are you okay?" he asks as we walk through the gates into Dalton. I nod "just thinking." he nods and we keep walking toward our room. I feel nervous around him for the first time in my life, but it's Jeff. Jeff. I can act normal, and hey if he flirts back why shouldn't I flirt with him?
"Hey Jeff do you know?"
"Know what?"
"That if you were text you'd be fine print?"
He laughed, and my stomach flip flopped "No, but do you know?"
"Know what?" I played along
"Know that if you were a booger I'd pick you first."
We laughed and I knew I shouldn't be nervous there was a reason we'd been friends so long, it wasn't gonna end anytime soon, but I gotta think. I need to figure out this thing between us. I need time alone.
Jeff's POV
I'm sitting in the library trying to get this essay done while Nick sleeps in our room. It's quiet and completely empty as it's a Saturday afternoon. I'd been working for a couple hours and had just submitted my essay online when I hear a floorboard squeak behind me and feel hands run down my arms as a voice whispers in my ear "I don't have a library card, but can I check you out." his fingers pull mine off my keyboard and pull me up to face him.
"If you were a dementor I'd become a criminal just to feel your kiss." Shit I just told him I wanted to kiss him. Please don't let him pick up on that.
"If I looked into the mirror of Erised I'd see you and I together." he says and I take a deep breath, this has gone to far. This is harder than I thought it would be.
"I mean together together." he whispers. Looking down at his shoes. Together together? Does he mean that?
"What?" I mumble.
"Are you going to kiss me or do I have to lie to my diary tonight?" he asked me leaning in, and saying the words nearly on my lips. "Dork." I responded and kissed him. Kissed my best friend. It felt perfect like coming home, like putting in the last piece of a puzzle, like coming inside on a cold night. He pulls back and says "I'm sorry, I tried for hours but there's not nerdy way to ask you to be my boyfriend."
Nick's POV
He grins at me mischievously and runs his hands down my chest "Do you know what you're made of?" he asks me and I shake my head "Boyfriend material." he states and kisses me again, and wow, he really is the perfect guy. We kiss until my stomach grumbles loud enough for Jeff to hear. He pulls back and I look down at my stomach "trader" I mumble and try to pull Jeff back into my arms. "We have two minutes 'til dinner is over." he tells me and I say "screw it, let me take you out to dinner." He smiles and wraps his arms around me. "So I see I've got a sweet talking gentleman of a boyfriend huh?" Jeff asks
We walk from the library towards my car hand in hand, the campus empty as the few who didn't go home for the weekend are all in the cafeteria. "So are you ever going to tell me the worst pickup line you've ever heard?" He grins wickedly "Hell no, I like hearing your guesses." he pulls his hand from mine "Last one there has to drive" he shouts and starts running towards my car.
I take off after him. This being in love with my best friend thing will be fun.
So I don't know whether to leave this as a one shot or not because there are so many good pick up lines I could use, so review if you want more. Anyways I should probably also say the pick up lines came from sites on google, and my friends during our own nerdy pick up line battle (which no did not lead to any of us realizing we were in love, or gay, or gay for eachother, but it was fun!)
