Seek and You Shall Find
Chapter 2
Jeff had awoken early on Saturday morning, weirdly full of energy and feeling refreshed. He headed the cafeteria at 9am sharp, searching for something to settle his noisy stomach. He'd never been for breakfast before 10, so he was spoilt for choice when it came to what he wanted. In the end, he's wound up with a stack of waffles, plus a plate of bacon, egg and beans.
He'd demolished the bacon, egg and beans within minutes, and was currently devouring the pile of waffles when Trent came over and sat facing him, a cup of tea between his hands.
"Where's your boytoy this morning? Not like you two to be apart, you know, ever."
"He's not my boytoy", he snapped, and Trent looked at him in surprise of his outburst. It was unlike Jeff to ever talk to anyone like that. Shaking his head, he got up with a "whatever you say sweetie" and ambled off towards Blaine and Sebastian, who were quietly talking between themselves.
"You two are looking very cosy I must say. What's so interesting that it has your undivided attention?" Trent asked them. Blaine looked at him and gave him a warm smile before turning to Sebastian with a quizzical look on his face. Sebastian just nodded at him.
"We're talking about Nick and Jeff." Blaine informed him.
"Oooh, do tell me more."
They spent the good part of a half hour discussing the boys, and they had come to the conclusion that Niff just had to happen. Only problem was, they didn't know how to make it so.
"We have to do it the only way I know how. The way to get a man's heart is to-"
"-suck his dick." Sebastian finished for Trent. Blaine shoved him off of the step they were occupying.
"Sebastian!" he exclaimed. He knew he should be used to the other boys antics by now, but Sebastian was hard to get used too.
"No." Trent said, glaring at Sebastian. "The way to get a man's heart is to make him jealous!" Sebastian raised an eyebrow and Blaine looked at him curiously. "If you succeed in making a guy jealous then you're going to have him eating out the palm of your hand!"
Blaine and Sebastian looked at each other and shrugged.
"Tell us what we have to do" Sebastian said on both of their behalfs.
In the library, Blaine approached the table that Jeff was seated at nervously. He didn't really know how to do this, so he figured he'd just go with it.
"Jeff…can I ask you something?" Jeff looked up at the voice, and was surprised to find a very nervous Blaine standing there.
"Uh, sure Blaine, what's up?"
Blaine stood there for a few seconds fidgeting and playing with his wrist, before taking a seat in the chair to Jeff's left. "Well…I…I wa-…do you….uh, hell, would you like to go out with me tomorrow night? Like, we could catch a movie, or go for dinner or something, or both. Whatever you want. If you want too." Blaine blushed, embarrassed for sounding like such an idiot. He was only doing this for the plan that he, Sebastian and Trent had formulated, but he was still a nervous wreck.
Jeff thought about it for a minute. For such a long time, he's been desperate for Nick to ask him out, take him on a date, but he figured that was never going to happen. Besides, he and Blaine always got on really well, and anyone would tell you the same thing, Blaine was one hell of a catch. One of the most attractive guys at Dalton, and probably in all of Westerville. Anyone would be a fool to turn him down, so Jeff thought, why the hell not?
"Just to clarify, you mean like on a date, right?" Jeff asked him.
"Uh..yeah, a date, if you'd like" he blushed again, and Jeff found it endearing.
"Actually, I'd like that", he said with a smile and Blaine looked up at him in shock, as if expecting him to decline. "Really?"
"Absolutely", Jeff told him, "we can do whatever you like, I don't mind. Whatever you think is best".
"Okay" Blaine said, then smiled, "okay."
"I actually have to go, but I'll talk to you later, Blaine."
"Yeah, bye Jeff." Jeff felt bold, so before he darted out the door, he kissed Blaine on the cheek. When he walked out of the library, Blaine pulled out of his phone and relaxed into the chair.
Blaine: Phase 1 is complete.
Trent: Perfect.
On the other side of the school, Sebastian and Trent were outside the school's gym, where Nick was currently working out.
"Okay, Blaine has a date with Jeff. Now you go", he said, shoving Sebastian in the door of the gym. Sebastian sighed. He wasn't the date kind of guy, but he knew he didn't have a choice. He walked over to Nick confidently.
"Hey Nick".
Nick pulled out his earphones and looked up at Sebastian from the weight bench. "Hey Sebastian, what's up man?"
"Me and you, dinner, Monday night. Sound good?" he asked.
Nick was taken aback, both by Sebastian's forwardness and the fact that Sebastian was asking him out on a date.
What the hell? He thought. Sebastian had never shown interest in him before, so he didn't really get where this had come from. But Sebastian always was unpredictable, so Nick shouldn't have been surprised really. Also, Jeff clearly wasn't interested, and it was stupid to keep pining over him, so he figured he might as well go out with Sebastian. Sebastian was H-O-T, and for all he knew, he could have a really good time and maybe it could even become something more.
"Sure. Sounds good, can't wait", Nick said, sounding uncharacteristically confident.
"Awesome. I'll call you or something", Sebastian said, before turning on his heel and walking out of the gym
"So?" Trent asked him as soon as the gym door closed, "what happened?"
"We have a date on Monday night."
"Yes!" Trent exclaimed. "These boys have no idea what is about to his them!" Quickly, he typed out a message to Blaine.
Trent: Phase 2 complete. It's time to get the show on the road.
