12. Insanity
Nick groaned as he walked back up the stairs towards the room he shared with Jeff. His day at school hadn't been particularly enjoyable. He got a B+ on a quiz, which to him was an F, and he got a shit-load of homework from his Trigonometry class. Plus, he had lost his favorite ring in the locker room during Gym. Overall, it was just a depressing day.. As he neared his room he stopped and strained to hear.
"Is that music?"
Sure enough, there was pop-rock music blaring from his room. He heard some Panic! at the Disco mixed in with Maroon 5 and The Ready Set. Nick, extremely curious, burst into the room and was met with the most awesome sight he could have ever expected. There was Jeff, red-faced and sweaty, completely rocking out in the middle of the room. His feet moved at a rapid pace as he jumped around and spun to the beat. He looked up and saw Nick, but didn't stop dancing. Instead, he smiled and ran over to grab his hand pulling him to the carpet and urging him to join in.
Nick, not half the dancer Jeff was, shook his head and yelled, "I'll watch." But Jeff would not take "no" as an answer.
He yelled back, "No you will not watch! You will frickin dance with me! Come on!" Jeff grabbed Nick's arms and pulled him close, jumping and swinging Nick's arms along with his.
"Nick screamed, "You're insane," but began to jump along with Jeff, smiling. Jeff, slowing down to meet Nick's level, laughed as Sam Tsui's Lady GaGa medley began blaring and sung along with the opening non-sense words, still dancing like a pro. Nick sang too and continued to jump around spastically.
"This is insane," Nick said again, but was happier than he had been in a long time. As the song ended, both the boys simultaneously came together and shared a passionate, sweaty kiss.
