You guys didn't think I meant last weekend, did you?

I'm not even going to make an excuse for this. I'm sorry. I need to stop making deadlines for myself.

Did everyone see what TV Guide said about Curt and Uptown Girl? How completely rude was that? (If any of you didn't see it, here's the link http: / / www . tvguide . com / special / best-of-year-2011 / PhotoGallery / Best-Year-Worst-1039971#1039973) (Take out the spaces)

It's one thing to bash a performance. It's something completely different to bash the performer. Curt doesn't deserve that, he was amazing. If they really wanted to criticize a performance, why not Finn's very awkward rendition of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun? That was wrong on about 20 levels.

Okay, I'm sorry, I'm done. Here's the chapter.


After rehersal ended, Nick made sure he and Jeff were the last two in Warbler Hall. Nick figured that corning Jeff, not allowing him to escape, was the best way to get him to talk about "The Event." Jeff was currently in the process of locating his homework, which had gotten tossed around in The Great Paper Storm, Blaine's favorite activity while singing. Nick was positive Jeff didn't know he was there.

'Now or never,' Nick thought, getting ready to make his presence known.

"Something I can help you with Nick?" Jeff asked suddenly, causing Nick to choke around a breath of air in surprise.

"W-we need to talk." Nick cursed his stutter again. The conversation had barely started and it was already going against his plan.

"What about?" Jeff asked while turning to face Nick, all his papers finally collected. "

You know what!" It came out a little harsher then Nick intended it to, but he really couldn't bring himself to care. He was already sick of Jeff acting like nothing had happened, with his wide brown eyes and innocent expression that almost convinced Nick himself that nothing happened.

Nick shook his head slightly, brining himself back to the present. He was on a mission and would not get distracted by anything. Not even how adorable Jeff looked in his uniform.

With an awkward cough, Nick turned away so that he wasn't looking at Jeff anymore. This was more difficult then he though. After a moment of silence, Nick heard Jeff let out a quiet, faked 'Oh!' of realization.

"You're talking about what happened earlier, aren't you?"

"Yes!" Nick snapped, turning back to face Jeff. He lost his steam when he saw the meek look Jeff was giving him. But it came back double at Jeff's next words.

"I didn't think it was that big of a deal," Jeff mumbled.

"Not a big deal?" Nick repeated. "Jeff, you kissed me! Then you walked away! And now you're acting all innocent and it's not really helping the fact that I'm trying to figure out why the hell you did it!"

Nick noticed that as his rant continued and his voice got louder, a devious smirk was slowly growing of Jeff's face.

"Then it did exactly what I wanted it to," Jeff replied, still smirking.

"What?" Jeff couldn't help but laugh as Nick's voice cracked on that one word.

"I kissed you to make you think," Jeff explained. "Which, clearly, you've been doing all day. I didn't kiss you because I like you."

"What?" Nick said again. "Think about what?"

"About yourself!" Jeff exclaimed with a sigh at the look of confusion that Nick gave him. "You are so adamant that you are straight, like being gay, or even bi, is such a bad thing!"

Nick started to reply, but Jeff raised his had to silence him. "Do not say that you don't have a problem with it, because you do. Not in other people, but in yourself. You've never considered the possibility that you might like guys, but now that's all you can think about."

"So, what you're saying is that you were just trying to make me question myself?"

"Pretty much."

"Make me rethink everything I thought I new about myself, and kill any confidence I might have, just to prove a point?"

"Well, not to that extent..."

"In other words, you were just being an Ass-Hat!"

"Basically, yeah."

Nick was fuming. How dare he! Jeff had no right to do that! Nick wasn't a violent person, but at the moment, he wanted nothing more then to punch that smirk right off Jeff's prefect face.

"That's a pretty douche think to think, that you're that good of a kisser that you'd make me question my sexuality," Nick shot at Jeff. He was willing to try anything to put a dent in Jeff's armor.

"Apparently, I am," Jeff said, getting up to leave.

"You are such an Ass-Hat!" Nick yelled.

"So you said." Jeff, having to walk passed Nick to leave, stopped and gave Nick an exaggerated kiss on the cheek. "See you around Nicky." And with that, Jeff was gone, smirk still firmly in place.

"Pretentious Ass-Hat."


Yay ass-hat Jeff. I actually kinda like ass-hat Jeff. Or maybe I just like the work ass-hat... You know, I actually had to look up the color of Riker's eyes to get it right. It gave me an excuse to look at pictures of Riker, and I could say it was for research!

Okay. Yeah. There will be one, maybe two more chapters, but it might be a while before they go up. I'm still in the process of writting the next one, and I'm only two sentances in. I'm a little stuck. Whoops.

So, do you have a tumblr? I have a tumblr! It's cadeteyes . tumblr. com. Follow me if you would like.
