Chapter 4

Apparently when I say that I'm leaving this story just for a couple of days Jeff and Nick scream to me to write them, and I just can't ignore them, can I?

So, first of all I want to thank all of you that reviewed, it really means a lot, and I want to thank especially to CheekyBrunette and fearofpainteddevils, your reviews made me smile like an idiot during an entire day –hugs-

So, here's Chapter 4, enjoy.

"What are you doing here Ivy" Jeff walked back to the brunette girl.

She made a fake hurt expression every time Jeff did something she didn't like. Her big gray eyes would widen and start to get watery with crocodile tears. Jeff never noticed that she was faking it, but Nick knew and it just made him crazy. How could someone be that heartless to such a lovable and nice guy?

"Jeffie!" She whined. Jeff was only okay with Nick calling him by his nickname and there he was, fighting back words to not annoy the girl. "Don't you tell me that you forgot that you were taking me to the mall today?"

"Shit!" Jeff slapped his forehead. He had totally forgotten "I'm sorry Ivy, can't we do it tomorrow?" Jeff sighed.

"But you promised me yesterday! How can you forget about me?" she batted her eyelashes, looking "hurt".

"Sorry, I just got a lot on my mind lately..." Jeff ran a hand through his hair and bit his bottom lip. He didn't mean to forget about Ivy but with all that happened with Nick he honestly forgot.

"What do you have on your mind that's so important to make you forget about your girlfriend!" she lost the hurt facade and just looked annoyed at the blonde.

A couple steps behind Jeff, Nick was glaring at the brunette girl, thinking about ways just to make her disappear from his life.

"Calm down Ivy." Jeff asked, his voice small. He hated when the girl got mad at him.

She sighed annoyed and shrugged "It's okay, we can go now!" she held her hand in front of her, waiting for Jeff to take it. Jeff's eyes widened. He looked back, finding Nick looking at his feet, shifting lightly from foot to foot, looking like he was ready to hear Jeff ditching him for the girl.

Jeff looked so thorn, but the answer was clear in his mind.

"Sorry Iv, I can't go…I have….stuff" he tried to sound natural. He was never a good actor.

"What, stuff?" she asked, glaring at Jeff.

His mind was running 100 miles an hour to think about a believable excuse, but before he could even open his mouth, Nick answered behind him

"We're having History test tomorrow and we're studying all day, Jeff needs me to explain some parts to him." He looked at Jeff, smiling, like saying to Jeff to follow his lead. "Right, Jeff?"

Jeff nodded at Nick, before turning to Ivy, half blushing "Right, sorry!" he shrugged again.

Ivy opened her mouth, but quickly closed it and sighed angrily, scratching the bridge of her perfect *cof* nose job *cof* nose, annoyed. "I don't know why I even try, I don't need this. You should be the one coming after me!" and without any kind of goodbye, she turned her back at them and walked out of the hallway, her long wavy brown hair waving down her back.

Conceited bitch! Nick thought. She should be the one coming after Jeff, making the boy feel special and just treat him nicely for once in a while. She didn't even know what an amazing boyfriend she had. "Sorry, if you wanted to go with her you could have." Nick smiled sadly. He didn't like Jeff's girlfriend at all, but he couldn't make the blonde ditch her for him "We could have the marathon another day…"

"God, no!" He sighed "Do you think I'd turn down a Harry Freakin' Potter Marathon to hold her bags while she shopped?" He raised a brow at his best friend.

"She's your girlfriend!" Nick pointed out, starting to walk to their dorm, Jeff walking close behind.

"Doesn't feel like it!" Jeff looked at his feet as they walked "Sometimes I just feel like she is just using me…" he confessed.

Nick looked confused at Jeff. If he thought that why doesn't he just dump her? It's not like she's gonna care too much, she'll just find another boy to play with. "Then why are you still with her?" He asked as they got out of the main building and walked through the campus to the dorm building.

Jeff thought about Nick's question. Why is he with someone who treats him like that?

A couple of months ago, Jeff meet Ivy in a party the Dalton boys and the Crawford Days girls threw in one of Westerville's empty warehouses.

She immediately showed interest in the blonde boy and quickly walked over to him, telling him how cute his hair was and making him blush. A beer or two after that and she had him against a wall, kissing him hard on the mouth.

Jeff didn't like it, but he didn't hate it either, so when the brunette asked him to be her boyfriend, he didn't say no. It felt good having someone interested in him, and the kissing wasn't half bad.

A month after, Jeff heard all about the rumors in Crawford. Apparently, Ivy had the fame of being a man-eater, having at least cheated on 15 of her boyfriends. Jeff tried to ignore it, but having his friends tell him how she was no good for him, just made the boy clench to the girl even more.

It felt nice, holding hands, kissing and stuff, but it didn't mean something especial for Jeff. It was just it. No feelings attached.

But if he just ended it with Ivy, what would everyone say?

"Why did you break up with her. Have you seen her ass?"

"Are you gay? Because leaving a girl like that only feeds the rumors that you are."

"Why?"

"Why?"

WHY?

"It just feels nice…" he said without realizing it.

"Nice?" Nick asked, trying to look into the blonde's eyes. He was with her because it felt nice? "Having a girlfriend?"

Jeff nodded. That really sounded stupid when said out loud.

"But do you like her?" Nick asked again, his heart getting a little bit smaller and broken when Jeff open his mouth.

"No." It was barely over a whisper, but it was confident. Jeff didn't even have to think about it.

Nick's heart sank. He could give nice to him. He could even love him unconditionally.

Stop thinking like that Nick, he slapped himself mentally. Jeff's straight. He made it pretty obvious this morning. He just likes you as a best friend. Stop getting your hopes up!

Jeff noticed Nick's thinking expression and tried to lighten the mood "So, Harry Potter?" he asked when he opened his dorm door, stepping inside and closing it after Nick got it.

Nick looked at him and gave him a small smile "Sure, let me just take off my uniform." He said, dropping his bag on his bed and grabbing some sweatpants and a t-shirt from his closet, before entering their bathroom.

Jeff nodded and did the same in the room, throwing his bag under his bed.

As he took off his shirt, Nick stepped inside the room again, his uniform awfully folded in his arms. Nick stopped and stared at Jeff. How his chest was perfectly toned and how his muscles moved as he put on his shirt.

Jeff looked back when he felt like he was being watched and found Nick looking at him, his mouth lightly open. A blushed crept to his face as he felt self conscious. "What?" He snapped Nick of his trance.

Nick shook his head as he heard Jeff speaking to him. Shit. Had he caught him staring?

Wait. Is he blushing? Good, now I made him uncomfortable. Awesome…

"Sorry, I thought you had already put the movie on." What, you call that an excuse Nicholas Duval. You should just shut up now.

Jeff shook his head. "Just close the blinds and I'll put the DVD on." Jeff walked over to the pile of DVD's he and Nick had on the floor under the flat screen. He quickly found Philosopher Stone and when he was about to put it into the DVD player, the room was filled with sudden darkness.

Jeff could barely even make out his own hands "I said to close the blinds, not to blind us!" Jeff laughed as he got up slowly, trying not to hit a thing

"Sorry" Nick laughed, turning to his side to open the blinds again, but instead he collided with a warm body "Hey watch out!" He laughed, roaming his hands in the blonde' face, accidentally hitting Jeff in the eye. Jeff groaned in pain, half laughing until we stepped back and ended up falling in a bed.

Nick was now hysterically laughing, but that didn't do him any good to him either, as he slammed his foot on the edge of their desk "Fuuuu...au!" he tried not swear, taking long breaths to try to ease the pain. "This isn't funny anymore!" he whined after a couple of seconds when Jeff started to laugh quietly.

"Okay, don't move!" Jeff ordered, a grin on his face "I'll try to turn the lights on!" After a couple of body parts hit some kind of solid surface and a couple of swear words, Jeff finally managed to turn on the lights of the room. He narrowed his eyes, hurting from the artificial light that hit them. He looked at Nick and found him laughing into his hand "Oh, so you think that's funny, uhm?" Jeff smiled. Nick nodded one more time before settling on his bed, bringing 2 pillows with him, placing them in the headboard.

Jeff walked again to the DVD player, finally turning on the TV and starting the film, before he went to turn off the lights and sat next to Nick awkwardly.

He really didn't know how to act with his best friend. Would sit to near him hurt Nick? Or would sit too far away hurt him even more?

He ended up being shoulder to shoulder in Nick's bed, as they quietly watched the film, making some kind of joke as the movie went on.

It was 23.43 p.m when Nick started to fall asleep. His eyes started to get heavy and he just couldn't hear Half Blood Price playing in the TV. As his head started to get heavy, it started to tilt to the left, until it finally lay in Jeff's shoulder.

Jeff jumped slightly with the touch of Nicks head in his shoulders but calmed down when he saw that Nick was deep asleep. He had the most innocent smile in his lips and his hair was falling in strange angles in his forehead. Before Jeff could control his actions, he raised a hand to brush the chocolate brown locks that fell in the other boy's eyes. Nick looked so peaceful when slept, Jeff had noticed that last week when he woke up in the middle of the night craving an omelet, he thought about waking up the boy to join him, but he stopped himself when he saw his sleeping so quietly.

Jeff was starting to feel tired, but if he moved to his bed, he had to wake Nick which he didn't want to. He lowered himself more comfortably in the bed, bringing Nick down with him. He pulled the banked they had placed in their laps over Nick, so the brunette wouldn't get cold during the night.

Nick shifted in his sleep, turning himself so he placed his head in the crook of Jeff's neck and threw his arm over the blonde's chest.

Jeff couldn't care less about the brunette's proximity. Actually, liked it, it made him feel protected and loved. He turned off the TV with the remote and feel asleep.

That night he dreamt that we woke up with a beautiful brunette next to him, his hazel eyes covered by brown bangs and a sloppy smile on his lips. He said good morning and whispered "You're beautiful" before kissing Jeff. The brunette had soft lips and Jeff couldn't help but feeling himself melt into them. He felt the other boy smile into the kiss as he slowly kissed back.

The thing is that Jeff didn't remember any of it when he woke up.

It is just me or are the chapters getting bigger and bigger? –checks- Yes, they are getting bigger.

I know Jeff and Nick will end up having their way with me and I'll write the next chapter within 1 week.

But I don't want to get your guy's hopes up :/

Either way, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and just leave a reviews (even just to say hi, I don't mind)

P.S: Ignore all the typos, English isn't my native language and I just do silly mistakes
