Chapter 3

Pizza Restaurant

Nick's POV

I sit at a booth, across from Jeff, the only thing separating us is the last few pieces of our extra large pepperoni pizza. I grab another slice, leaving two, when I remember something.

"Hey Jeff. I just remembered. Remember how, in class, I said that I would show you what I was drawing, later, once I finished it? Well, it's done." I say.

"Ooh, let me see!" the blond says eagerly. He has a goofy smile plastered on face, making him look almost like a kid on Christmas morning. I pull out the piece of paper from my pocket and unfold it. I hand it to Jeff, who looks at it for a minute, then exclaims, "Oh my god, Nick! This is adorable, I love it!" He puts it on the table. In the picture were cartoon versions of Jeff and me, holding hands, little hearts hovering around us. It's cheesy, but he loves it. He starts to fold it back up and give it back to me, but I put my hand out to block him.

"Keep it." I say.

"Really?" he says, as if he were a little kid who was just granted permission to get as much candy as he wants.

"Yes. Keep it." I reply, smiling at how adorable he looks.

"Thank you! I'm gonna flatten it out, so it doesn't look all folded, and then I'm gonna frame it and hang it up in our room! I love it!" he says. I can't help kaughing; he's as excited as a kid in a candy shop.

"What?" he asks.

"What?" I ask back.

"What?"

"I don't know!" With these random outbursts, we start laughing. Suddenly, though, I realize what time it is. We quickly split the last piece of pizza, pay, then head out to my car.

We're almost back to Dalton when Jeff stops singing along to the radio and turns it down.

"Can I ask you something?" he asks. I look over for a second.

"Technically you just did, but sure. Ask away." I say.

"So, uh... was this... are we... God, I can never get anything out!"

"Says the one who pretty much forced me to admit that I like you. How are you nervous all of a sudden?" I ask.

"I don't know. So... was this... like, a date? Are we, like, a thing now? I just want to know..." he says quietly.

"Only if you want it to be." I reply.

"I do. I really do." he says. He smiles. "So, does this mean that you're... my boyfriend?"

"Yeah. It does." I tell him. With that, he takes my hand in his and rests our hands on the armrest in the middle. We stay like this for the rest of the ride, singing along to the radio, which has been turned back up again. Not long after, we get back to the school. I climb out of the front seat and walk around to the front to meet Jeff. I start to walk towards the school, but he stops me.

"I guess, since you're my boyfriend now..." he trails off, leaning forward and gently kisses me. He leans back and grabs my hand again. We walk into Dalton, our hands entwined. We go back to our room to get our stuff for the next class. Unfortunately, I don't have anymore classes with Jeff.

"I guess we won't be seeing each other until later." I say, as we leave the dorm. I give him a quick kiss as we part.

"Bye." I say over my shoulder.

"Bye." I hear calling back to me.

Classes are finally over and now I'm able to meet back up with Jeff. I pull out my phone and text him.

Hey. Meet me in the practice room. -N

Ok. Be there in 5. -J

K. Love you. -N

I make it to the practice room right after I send the last text. A couple minutes later, Jeff walks in.

"I love you too. So what did you want to meet me here for?" he asks. He meets me on the chair I'm sitting on and sits right next to me.

"Well, since it's Friday, and we don't have a lot to worry about, I was thinking we could have a movie night or something like that. We could invite Kurt and Blaine if you want." I explain.

"Yeah, I think that would be fun." he agrees.

"Awesome. Can you go talk to them, ask them if they want to come? I'm going to run out to the store to pick up some food."

"Of course." he says. I get up and head back to our room to get my keys, Jeff right beside me. I expect Jeff to come back out in order to talk to Kurt and Blaine, but he just sits there on the bed.

"You coming?" I ask, but he shakes his head. "Alright, whatever." I walk out and close the door, but I don't leave. I wait, just outside of the door, to hear what he does. A few minutes later I hear Jeff banging on the wall separating our dorm from Kurt and Blaine's. He stops, then shouts through, "KURT! BLAINE! MOVIE NIGHT TONIGHT! YOU GUYS ARE COMING!" I hear a faint "Okay!" from Kurt, and walk away, laughing at how Jeff "goes and talks to them".

At the store, I go to the candy aisle, my cart waiting to be filled. I grab every type of candy present, throw them into the cart plus a few extra Twizzlers, and move on to the snack aisle. I grab multiple flavors of Doritos, Pringles, some popcorn, a jar of salsa, a bag if tortilla chips, and some other snacks. I quickly pay for everything and leave.

Reviews make me happy! so please, tell me what you think! I'll give you a free internet cupcake! :P
