GleekHolly97 - What about a water fight with guns and everything! Maybe like a prank which back fires but they just laugh! :)
Why of course :D
Thank you so much to everyone who's reviewed and read/is reading this fic! You're all awesome and amazing :)
Unfortunately, Nick didn't forget about that incident that everyone refused to talk about. Though they'd forgiven both Liam and Wes for the accident, and most people could see the funny side of it and no one was letting Liam off the hook for it, Nick and Jeff were still annoyed that it had happened in the first place. So once Nick was better, they started to plan a revenge plot to rival anything else they'd ever done. Unfortunately, they couldn't think of anything good enough.
But then their opportunity came to them a week later and they seized it eagerly.
"It's freezing," Jeff complained as they headed up towards their dorm. They'd just finished school for the day – thank God – and everyone was now heading quickly either to their dorms where they could curl up and sleep the rest of the day off, or to the any of the halls where the fireplaces would now be roaring with hot flames (just the thought made Jeff shiver uncontrollably). As they made their way up the stairs slowly, Jeff and Nick passed another troublemaking pair – Mason and Liam. The pair were running down the stairs (or in Liam's case, sliding down the banister). Mason waved a quick hello to the freezing boys, Liam shooting them a grin.
"Where are you going?" Nick called out.
"Warbler Hall!" Mason shouted in return, tugging his blazer around his body tighter "Fire's going!"
And then they were gone, laughing as Liam slid smoothly off the banister and landed in a balanced run – Nick was jealous of his coordination. If he'd tried that, he probably would have fallen off long before he got to the ground level, and even if he made it he'd just end up in a heap on the floor. Damn Liam. And Mason. Damn those Kingsley boys.
"Argh!"
Nick jumped as he heard his boyfriend shout suddenly. He turned, wondering what had surprised Jeff and sniggered when he found the blonde glaring at the ceiling, where a slow and steady leak was dripping water onto his face.
"Stupid school!" Jeff grumbled, wiping the water off and shifting out of its reach "It's freaking cold too, that water. Nearly froze my face off."
And just like that, the perfect idea came to Nick in a flash. He grinned, chuckling to himself. Jeff just glared at him, not seeing what was so funny.
"Stop it!" he said, brushing his fringe away from his face "It really is cold. Maybe I'll just dunk you in freezing water, see how you…"
He trailed off, and by some miracle of best friend/boyfriend telepathy, seemed to realise what Nick was thinking. He smirked.
"I'll grab the water pistols?"
"I'll get the Kingsleys."
And so the plan was made.
Ten minutes later, and the trap had been set. Nick could barely stifle his laughter as he pulled out his phone and sent a quick text to the Kingsley brothers.
Hey can we talk? Old science block, room 28.
The pair glanced at each other, giggling. If this didn't wipe the smug smirks of those Kingsleys' face, Nick didn't know what to do. With their trap set, the boys ducked down behind the teacher's desk. The block was deserted, luckily for them – and for a good reason. Two weeks ago Mason had managed to blow the place sky high when he'd 'accidentally' mixed two chemicals he shouldn't have. Now the block was permeated with the smell of rotten eggs, though it had finally begun to fade to a manageable level. While the school had been trying to clean the block it had lain empty and students kept a wide berth – the perfect place to spring their trap.
"I hear them," Jeff chuckled, pressing a finger to his lips and raising the loaded water pistol. Nick checked his own, unable to keep the grin off his face. Let's see how they liked a nice cold burst of water in the face on what was possibly the coldest day in history. The door opened and the boys stayed quiet as the sounds of footsteps filled the silence.
"Nick? You here?" Mason called.
Nick noted the strange edge in the midget's voice, but put it down to suspecting a prank. After all, it was the most likely possibility. Yet they'd still come. Idiots.
"Come on, they're just screwing with us," Liam said, and Nick couldn't ignore the glee in his voice. He frowned, gesturing to Jeff in confusion. The blonde shrugged and began a countdown. Nick grinned as Jeff silently counted from three to one. When he reached one, they jumped up from behind the desk.
And were promptly soaked to the bone with freezing water.
Nick sputtered for breath as the icy cold water hit his skin. He saw Mason and Liam standing by the door, water pistols in hand. They were laughing hysterically, high fiving each other in congratulations. Jeff coughed, still recovering from the cold shock.
"Wh-what?" Nick managed to say.
Mason could barely stop laughing, "Thad heard…you guys planning…on the staircase…told us…"
"I'll kill him," Jeff growled.
"You guys might want to get somewhere warm," Liam smirked, making Nick just want to slapthat smug grin off his face "You're going blue."
Nick looked down at his frozen fingers. Indeed his fingertips were going blue.
"I hate you so much," Nick whined, tucking his hands under his arms to warm them up "That's not fair."
"See you later," Liam waved, laughing. He and his brother left the room, leaving the door open behind them. Nick and Jeff glanced at each other, Jeff smiling as he saw the pitiful look on his boyfriend's face.
"Come on," he sighed "Let's go warm up. I think we officially lost that round."
Nick snuggled into his side, Jeff putting his arm over the brunette's shoulder as they headed out of the abandoned science block and towards the dorms.
When they finally reached their room, Nick was shivering like mad. Jeff peeled his arm from his shoulder and pushed him towards the bathroom.
"Go shower and get warm," he said "And hurry up – I'm cold too."
Nick did as he was told, ducking into the bathroom. The sound of running water sounded a moment later as Jeff threw himself onto his bed and stared at the ceiling. They were going to have to rethink their strategy. Mason and Liam pulled stunts almost for a living. They'd been doing it all their life. Breaking and entering, theft, blackmail – the lot. It was going to take some serious planning to come up with a prank that would get back at them for the movie incident and the soaking. That was just uncalled for.
Jeff lost track of time as he let his thoughts drift. When he felt someone shaking his arm, he jumped in surprise and grabbed it. A high-pitched scream of shock pierced the air and Jeff stared at his now-angry boyfriend, dressed in his warmest clothes and with damp hair.
"Don't do that!" he huffed.
"What?"
"Fake being dead! Jeez, I thought you'd frozen or something. And then you just scared the crap out of me."
Jeff smirked, "Sorry. Shower free?"
Nick rolled his eyes, "No, my secret other-boyfriend is in there."
"Very funny."
"I thought it was."
Jeff ran for the warmth of the shower, spending more time under the water than was strictly necessary. But it was so worth it – he felt the frost leave his fingers and toes, his limbs getting feeling back. When he finally managed to drag himself out and get dressed, he found Nick sprawled on his bed on his back, snoring lightly. Jeff just stood there for a moment, smiling. Nick looked so cute in his oversized clothes (apparently they were warmer, and he refused to give them back to Liam), and the way he was basically passed out, flat on his back like he'd just fallen on the bed… it was adorable. He couldn't resist crawling onto the bed next to him, snuggling up to him and his body heat. Wow, he was actually really warm.
Nick mumbled in his sleep, pressing himself closer to Jeff. The blonde smiled and pressed a quick kiss to his boyfriend's neck.
"G'way," Nick mumbled, swatting at Jeff with one arm.
Jeff raised an eyebrow and sat up, chuckling, "Fine then. Be like that."
Nick groaned at the loss of contact and heat, pulling himself up slowly and reaching out blindly for Jeff. He was either too lazy or too tired to even bother opening his eyes. He managed to drape himself over Jeff, head resting on the blonde's shoulder and humming contentedly. Jeff laughed softly.
"You're incredibly clingy when you're tired. I've told you that, haven't I?"
Nick made a sound that could possibly be taken as 'meh' and nestled in closer.
"M'cold."
"I know," Jeff smiled, running a hand through Nick's hair "Just go to sleep."
"We have't get'em back, righ'?" Nick was becoming less and less coherent by the second.
"We will. We'll think of something. Tomorrow though."
"M'k'."
A moment later Nick was passed out on Jeff's shoulder, arms wrapped loosely around the blonde's chest.
A week later, the Kingsley boys awoke to find themselves duct taped securely to their beds. When they finally managed to escape, they found Liam was banned from the Dalton gym and Mason forbidden to enter the school library under pain of death. It seemed someone had happened to let it slip to Mr Lee, the man who supervised the gym, just who had been responsible for breaking into his office and making off with his one-hundred-and-four year old bottle of whisky. And Dean had somehow managed to find out who had tossed the stink bomb into the library a month ago. Needless to say, Mason was soon very behind in his classes now that he no longer had access to the library computers or books – he was staying up for hours into the early morning to finish work off using his own laptop. And Liam was forced to train and exercise in his room – causing massive arguments between the brothers as Mason tried to study to catch up. When the boys on the same hall as the brothers had finally had enough of their two-in-the-morning arguments they begged Jeff and Nick to fix it. A day later and apologies were made, the last of the whiskey was returned and access to the gym and library was restored.
Mason and Liam never tried to mess with Jeff and Nick again.
Which is why even though Mason and Liam are criminals and can pick locks and scale three storeys, it's a motivated Nick and Jeff you should avoid :D
I've decided that Sleepy Nick comes in a close second after the awesomeness of Motorbike Jeff :D
