Happy Thursday everyone. Originally, I had planned a much longer one than this for "Separation", but some family errands came up—needless to say, I'm still working on it. In the long run, it honestly fit better with day 5's prompt anyways…
Disclaimer: CP Coulter's Dalton verse is a forever part of Glee. But, on the down side, I still haven't finished my body switching ray gun. I'm waiting for the part to arrive in the mail.
Warnings: implied NIFF, angst and jealousy.
Niff Week Day 4: Separation
For day Four: Four moments they were separated.
…
A fifteen year old Jeff sat sulking in the front left corner of the classroom, refusing to even start touching the formaldehyde soaked amphibian. A squeamish looking Trent sat on his right, and an enthusiastic for once, Dwight Houston took his rightful spot next to Nick in the back of the room. For the second time in all of Dalton history, they had been forced to split their partnership due to "excessive horseplay around dangerous lab equipment".
…
In the summer after their Sophomore year at Dalton, Nick had a hard time informing Jeff that he was being taken to France for the next 3 months to help with his grandfather's vineyard while the elder man was looking after grandma Sofie who was injured in a ski team training accident.
When they got back to Dalton in September, rumor has it they never went anywhere without the other. The bathroom and shower myth is still 'to be determined'.
…
When arriving at the hotel for the first annual spring show choir performance tour in Disneyland, California, the rooms had been pre-assigned. Kurt was rooming with Nick, and Jeff with Blaine. It didn't take Jeff too much effort to convince Kurt to trade room keys with him.
….
Jeff slammed the door to the dorm shut, and threw his glasses onto the desk with a clang before burying his face into his pillow. News had been spreading around the senior commons about Kurt's old tormentor from last year, Dave Karofsky. He'd attempted suicide. Everyone was stunned, but Sebastian looked clearly devastated.
But that didn't excuse why, when Jeff came to meet Nick for lunch, he'd seen Nick and Sebastian in a deep embrace; it didn't excuse the soft kisses that Sebastian placed onto Nick's neck; and it definitely didn't excuse that Nick had accompanied a sniffling Sebastian back to his single dorm*. As the time for their dinner date rolled around, without sign of Nick, that was the final straw; He would never forgive Nick, ever!
Hours later, just minutes before curfew, Nick found his pillow and comforter in a pile in the dim lit hallway.
…
A/N: what a shit way to end a chapter. All Angsty like that—reminds me of an episode of Glee.
*I believe an explanation is in order :
I was in no way insinuating that Sebastian and Nick had sex. So please don't take it that way. It was meant in the way that Sebastian really needed someone there for emotional support and Nick was going to be there to talk, or just for moral support, really.
I threw in the kisses to say that Seb was probably looking for a distraction, that wasn't reciprocated by Nick. Jeff's just jealous and jumping to conclusion.
That was the way it was meant, but please have whatever floats it.
Take Care everyone
