"Good morning honey! Do you want some coffee?" Jeff felt the tender lips of Nick on his hair. He didn't want to get up, why was there a stupid lecture at 9am anyway?

Jeff blinked briskly, his eyes were slowly adapting to the light. "Morning." He yawned. "Is that even a question?" he said, rolling out of bed, floundering into Nick's arms on purpose. He took a deep breath, while Nick giggled.

"Are you pretending to be clumsy, again?" Nick asked, kissing Jeff on the cheek.

Jeff grinned. "No, I would never do that." He smirked, taking a deep breath. Nick had the greatest scent; a mixture of tulips, chocolate, and something Jeff couldn't describe.

Nick's hand swept down Jeff's arm tenderly, his hand was so soft. "I made some waffles." Nick mumbled into Jeff's hair.

Jeff rolled over to face Nick, biting his lip. Nick's eyes were beautiful, the morning light was shining off of them in a heavenly way. He kissed Nick's cheek swiftly. He hummed softly, before he started to sing.

"Love is you
you and me
Love is knowing
We can be"

Nick blushed, hugging Jeff for a few seconds. He then got out of bed and sat down on the bench in the kitchen. Jeff sat down on Nick's lap.

How could love be so strong? How could a person make one feel so good? Jeff wondered this regularly, at moments like this it became even more peculiar.

They started eating the waffles, not letting their eyes off the others.
After a few minutes, Nick began getting jittery. "What is wrong?", Jeff asked.

Nick sighed. "Well... I hate to destroy this atmosphere, but I have to ask, you know?" He looked down, Jeff was pretty sure he knew what Nick was going to ask. He started to shiver just thinking about it. "Have you made an appointment?"

His suspicions had been confirmed. "Yeah, I have. It's actually on Wednesday." Jeff had picked Wednesday because Nick had an exam and he couldn't miss it. That would mean he wouldn't be able to accompany Jeff, which was what Nick intended to do.

"That's a drag, I cannot come with you then. Are you sure you want to do it on your own? I know how scared you are Jeff, I could help you." Nick was grabbing Jeff's hand.

No Nick, you don't know how afraid I am. You have no idea, Jeff thought to himself. If Nick actually knew about his fear and how bad it was, he would also know that Jeff couldn't just make an appointment like that; it wasn't that easy. It wasn't like Jeff hadn't tried. He had tried calling offices in New York many times, but the moment the voice of the receptionist would come on, Jeff couldn't help but hang up. "I'll be okay. My dentist is very gentile." He managed to get his thoughts together enough to make a coherent statement.

Nick nodded. "Okay. If you can't do it, call me; I'll be there. Who is it anyway? I know quite a few NYC dentists; what's his name?"

Jeff stiffened. "Ahmm... Hmmm... I forgot the exact name, let me check." Jeff said, pulling out his phone. He should have planned this out better. The first dentist that popped was apparently his dentist now. "Dr. Powell is his name."

"Dr. Powell? The one in 32nd street?", Nick asked.

Jeff nodded. "Yeah, that one."

"Okay... But isn't she a woman? What is this about, Jeff?" Nick frowned.

"Sorry, I must have mixed it up. It's actually 22nd street." Jeff noticed he was sweating.

"Well, I don't know him, but if you are comfortable with him, that's good." Nick said with a small smile.

Jeff had been sure he got caught, but somehow Nick seemed to believe him.
