Hi all!

Not sure how much I like this one, but oh well. Like I said last chapter I'll be posting the next two oneshots this morning because I'm going away.

I don't own House of Anubis.

Characters: Fabian and Jerome

Prompt: Diary

Jerome hadn't meant to go searching through Fabian and Mick's room.

It had just happened.

He hadn't meant to find the little black book under Fabian's bed.

It had just happened.

He hadn't meant to open it up or to read the latest entry.

It had just happened.

But by pure coincidence, it just happened to be perfect blackmail material. Not just the diary (although that was teasing material in itself: what teenaged boy kept a diary?) but more so what was written in it.

Jerome was sure that Stutter Rutter would have been thrilled if a certain American had gotten her hands on that book.

And so Jerome found himself searching through the house in pursuit of the nerd. It wasn't hard to find him, of course. The Scooby Gang was hanging out in Nina and Amber's room, as always.

"I'm just saying I'm not sure that we can trust him," he stopped just outside the door at the sound of Nina's voice.

Jerome smirked as he realised that they were discussing whether or not to induct him into their club. He desperately needed to be one of them, otherwise he would have no hope of getting the information that Rufus wanted. He raised his knuckle to the door and knocked three times.

"Hang on a minute!" Nina called out. There was a mad shuffling from inside the room: they were hiding the evidence. Finally a set of footsteps approached and the door swung open to reveal Nina.

"Hey Jerome," she frowned, obviously confused

"Hello," he said in response. "I was just wondering if I could borrow your boyfriend for a few minutes."

Nina frowned in confusion. "I don't have a…" she trailed off, realisation dawning on her face as she blushed ever so slightly before turning back into the room. "Fabian, Jerome wants you." As the dark haired boy stood up from the floor she turned to Jerome. "He's not my boyfriend," she hissed.

"And yet you knew exactly who I was talking about," he pointed out.

Nina simply rolled her eyes and moved out of the way so that Fabian could leave the room.

"Ah, Rutter," Jerome nodded as Nina retreated back into the bedroom, closing the door behind her.

"What do you want Jerome?"

"You know me too well," the blonde laughed. "I just wanted to check that you were sticking up for me in there."

Fabian frowned. "I don't know what you mean," he lied.

"I heard your whole conversation," while it wasn't exactly true, it put him on edge, and that was exactly what Jerome wanted.

"Were you spying on us?"

"So are you sticking up for me?" he quickly changed the subject.

Fabian narrowed his eyes. "I'm sticking up for what I think is right."

"Fair enough," he nodded. "But before you go back in, I have something that I think might…help you decide what's 'right'."

"Jerome, if you're going to try and blackmail me…" Fabian trailed off at the sight of the diary, which Jerome had just removed from behind his back, visibly paling. "Where did you find that?"

"I think the more important question is 'where will Nina find it?'. Do you get my drift?"

Fabian paused, looking between Jerome and the book. "I'll do my best," he said eventually. "But I can't promise anything, okay?"

"That's okay, mate," he shrugged. "Neither can I."

With that he left the hallway and headed back downstairs, leaving Fabian to contemplate his threat.

Thanks for reading and please review.

See you in a few minutes!
