Nick leaned forward and buried his face in his boyfriend's neck, inhaling the intoxicating scent of sweat, cologne and something purely Jeff.He nibbled lightly on the skin there before sucking into his mouth, Jeff moaned lowly at the sensation sparking through him and attacked Nick's lips with an open mouthed kiss, but Nick could tell something was bothering the blonde; he wasn't being as vocal as he usually was. Nick groaned when Jeff detached their mouths and sat back on his thighs, interrupting their makeout session in their dorm. "What's wrong?" he whispered against his ear, licking a stripe across the shell, making Jeff shiver lightly.
Jeff pressed their foreheads together and gave Nick's nose a little kiss before sighing his answer. "It's Wes" Nick wasn't expecting that. "Er… what about Wes?" Jeff sighed again and Nick pulled back to look him in the eye, before reaching up to smooth the frown lines between Jeff's eyebrows. "Is he okay?" Nick whispered. Jeff shrugged and clambered off his lap only to lie down and place his head there instead. Jeff looked like he was deciding how to answer so Nick just brushed his boyfriend's blonde bangs off his forehead and waited. "He's… sad" Nick frowned too then "Sad? Why is he s-" Nick cut himself off as he thought of his recent conversation in the rehearsal room. "It's David isn't it?"
Jeff looked surprised "Yeah, how'd you know?"
Nick nibbled his lip, debating whether he should tell him what David had said. He decided against it. For now. "Lucky guess?" Jeff scowled at him. He knew when his boyfriend was lying. He sat up and stared at him with suspicion until Nick gave in. Any minute now. "Okay!" Nick burst out, glaring at Jeff's smug grin "David is sad too. He and Wes aren't talking" Jeff laid his head back in his lap staring up at him. "Not for the lack of trying on Wes' part!" Jeff defended. "David is the one ignoring him! Did you see him at practice the other day? Wes tried to talk to him and he was totally blanked! It was totally uncalled for! He didn't do anything wrong! He seems so lost…" "David is worse" Nick mumbled.
Jeff's eyebrows disappeared under his hair in disbelief, "Well if he talkedto Wes, he wouldn't be! God what's his deal?" Jeff's voice rose in decibels as he continued to rant "Poor Wes is just sat in the library all day drawing David, like a lo-" Nick interrupted suddenly "He's drawinghim?" "Yeah! You know what he's like! He always draws when he's sad. He can't getmuch sadder!"
Nick thought about this for a second. It sounds like Wes is just as depressed as David! Could that mean… does Wes like David too?Jeff's voice cut off his inner ramblings "Does wholike whotoo?" he gasped. Did I say that out loud?"Yes!" Jeff exclaimed excitedly. "David likes Wes? Why didn't you tellme?" he pouted. Nick rolled his eyes at his boyfriends' puppydog eyes. "It wasn't my place to tell anyone. He needed a friend" Nick sniffed.
Jeff melted into Nick's chest, wrapping his arms around his neck "You are just the sweetest thing!" he cooed into Nicks' soft hair earning a chuckle a kiss pressed against his throat.
Suddenly, something occurred to Jeff, he leaped from Nick's lap, causing his boyfriend to yelp in surprise. "David likes Wes? Why aren't they talking then! Why aren't they all lovey-dovey and kissing and holding hands?" Jeff demanded. Before Nick could respond, Jeff groaned, sliding to the floor, "It's happening again." Nick furrowed his brow questioningly "What's happening again?" he asked. "The Klainething!" Jeff whined, "David is going to be playing Blaine and Wes will be Kurt A.K.A Mr. Oblivious. Our group is doomed," he wailed dramatically. Nick smiled slightly, scooping his boyfriend from the floor and into his lap, kissing the top of his head gently. "No it's not." Nick reassured. "It's not?" Jeff murmured. "No. Because we won't let it," Nick said determinedly. Jeff blinked away the distressed tears and sat up. "Right. No. Won't let it." Jeff muttered. "How do we know Wes even likes him back?" Jeff uttered to himself, Nick thought it best just to let him speak "We don't. But we could. Oh we so could!" Jeff's voice got higher as he spoke to himself, his brain whizzing through plots until he found one suitable. Jeff stood suddenly. "Jealous!" he grinned at Nick expectantly. Nick (who was now fluent in Jeff understood right away) smiled back, his heart warming at the radiant happiness exuding from his boyfriend's face. "That," Nick stood, pulling Jeff to his chest. "Could work."

The next day was Monday – Warbler Practice. Everyone filed into the room, eyeing the counsel members' table warily, pretty much everyone knew there was something going down between Wes and David now as well as Kurt and Blaine.
Once everyone was settled, Wes cleared his throat and began his usual run-through of last week's rehearsals and gave a quick review of the minutes from the senior Warbler meeting the day before, and the list of songs they were deliberating over for Sectionals.
They soon began practicing, each member forgetting about their teenage worries and the circulating gossip, and focused on losing themselves in the familiar beats and rhythms of Uptown Girl, Jeff grinned as his boyfriend danced around the room, winking at him as he passed.
Kurt was shimmying in the corner, giggling with Blaine, but he stopped when Sebastian began singing, his voice clear and smooth, he grinned widely at Kurt as he sang, his breath catching when Kurt smiled back and gave him a little thumbs up. Blaine watched the interaction and sighed sadly as Sebastian grabbed Kurt and twirled him under his arm, Kurt squeaking in surprise and blushed deeply when Sebastian ducked and kissed him on the cheek. I should be making him do that,Blaine thought bitterly, his heart melting at the sweet blush on Kurt's cheeks.
By the time rehearsal was over, everyone was happier, their moods were elevated after the tiring practice. Everyone except David, Wes noticed. He seemed kind of out of it, head down as he ducked out the door and down the hall towards the dorms. Wes frowned as he watched him go. Why won't you talk to me?Wes sighed and began shuffling toward the library, why don'tyoutalk tohim? His mind supplied helpfullyI want to talk to him!He argued but you're too afraid of what he'll say if you dohis inner voice whispered. Wes crawled into his usual spot in the library, flipping open his sketch book and continued shading David's eyes, smiling sadly as they stared up at him.

"Now, now, now!" Jeff said urgently grabbing Nick's hand, and pulling him out of the Warbler room after Trent as he ambled up the large staircase, "Trent!" he called "Trennnnnnnt!" Trent rolled his eyes as he turned, smiling as he watched Jeff drag his boyfriend up the stairs, Nick nearly crashing into him when he stopped suddenly. "We need to talk to you" Jeff panted. "Sure. Lets go to your dorm and talk there." Trent suggested "cool" Jeff agreed.
Once they got to the dorm, Nick flopped on his bed, groaning slightly when Jeff launched on after him, landing across his chest. "Hi" Jeff giggled into his neck. Nick chuckled "Hi yourself." Trent cleared his throat, sitting on the other bed and watching the familiar display with fond eyes. "Are you done? As damn adorable as you are, I'd like to leave before you jump each other's bones. Again." "That was one time!" Jeff grumbled. "No it w-" "Okay!" Nick intervened; he knew what these two were like when they had a disagreement. It was like watching a pantomime. Only less enjoyable.
"We needed to talk to you because we need to ask a favour" he started, Trent nodded for him to continue. "It's about David" Trent raised a brow in questioning before Jeff answered. "He's all sad right now and needs a friend. We can't do anything because we're… busy." Trent smirked, as if he could guess what was keeping them 'busy' "And you want me to… what?" Nick shrugged, "eat lunch with him, go to the movies, dosomething.He's so depressed right now, he needs to get out." Trent hummed in agreement. "Alright, sure that sounds good. I'll go ask him later." Jeff beamed at him "Thank you!" Jeff leaned back against Nick in relief and traced little kisses up his jaw. Trent grinned back and stood "It's fine. I'll take that as my cue to leave before things get… steamy" he chuckled and strolled out of the room, hearing it lock a minute later.
