My Property

Nick took the offered hand and rose on shaky legs. Why wasn't he running away? He wanted too, didn't he?

He shook his head, internally of course, and reasoned that at this moment it would make it worse. He needed time to think about how to tell people, so thye would believe him. The worst case scenerio would be running aya, getting Jeff angry, which was not a good idea in his current mental state, and have nobody believe him so that he was left alone with him again. Jeff speaking broke his train of thought.

"Come on Love, we'll shower together" Nick looked at the offered hand in disbelief, Jeff wanted them to shower together? Did that mean he wanted more sex? Or did he just want to shower? Either way Nick didn't want to go with him.

"No" his heart drummed against his chest, did he say that? Jeff looked at him, unsatisfied.

"Excuse me?"

"I won't go with you to shower, I'm not going to go with you anywhere Jeff, not now, not ever" Jeff's face fell, as he angrily balled the offered hand into a fist

"Nick, I really don't like it when my property doesn't do what I want it to do, I'm going to explain, calmly, what I want you to 're going to shower, get dressed and go to breakfast and then warbler practice" Nick rose to his feet, this was the first time he could feel his blood boil, the first time he wanted to fight back. He may not be able to take Jeff physically but he'd be damned if he couldn't talk around him

"You- you raped me! and you expect me to act like nothing happened! Like I'm not repulsed by you?!" Jeff advanced on him

"I am sick of this nonsense! I did not rape you, do you understand me? We had sex Nick, you came! You wanted it, and I want you to know now, I am not above using force to get you to understand me and exactly what I expect you to do, do you understand me?" Jeff's voice lowered to a deadly whisper as he spoke and Nick started to think that he preferred Jeff shouting, preferred him when he didn't have that low hush of a threat in his voice.

"And anyway, they'd all see the truth Nick, they'd know I didn't rape you. That's a big accusation to make Nick, are you sure you want to deal with the fall out of a false accusation like that?" Nick froze, what if nobody believed him, they would all hate him for making up something so awful, or they'd think he was joking. He looked up to Jeff, just because people wouldn't believe him, did that mean he couldn't fight back now? But Jeff was so big and so strong and he was so angry.

Nick let out a breath he didn't know he'd been holding and began walking towards the bathroom, he could hear Jeff follow him as he entered the small white room.

"Shush! Here they come! Act natural!" Nick heard Thad speaking lowly to the group. His t-shirt had never felt heavier after Jeff's critism's this morning

"You should wear the blue one, it brings out your eyes" So Nick had put it on, and couldn't help thinking that it went quite fetchingly with his bruised wrists.

"Hey, how was your night?" Blaine grinned knowingly at the pair and Nick couldn't even feign bashfulness like he knew he would have been if it was consensual sex.

He sat down, stomach ill, as he swirled the egg on his plate, ignoring the knowing looks he was getting from the rest of the group. He let Jeff deal with the questions and anything else they seemed to be talking about. They were happy for them, it left a metallic taste in Nick's mouth, they were happy he was raped, happy he had no way out.

He couldn't help laughing somewhat bitterly at a joke about Nick looking tired

You have no idea just how tired
