A/N Sorry it is taking me so long between chapters. This week has been really busy for me. BTW - I'm pretty sure my little smut fest in this chapter isn't actually physically possible but hey I imagined it and it's porn so I wrote it down any way.

Chapter 14

Monday

It was a teacher development day at Dalton so Nick and Jeff were in the family room playing Call of Duty. Michael, Morgan, and Austin were in schools with different schedules so the boys were pretty much on their own for the day.

Caruso was free from his cage an flitting around Nick's head and shoulders. Nick usually kept the bird at Dalton as much as possible but had brought him over to the Herrmann's for the day.

"Why didn't you just give that stupid bird to Kurt like you promised the council?" asked Jeff when they paused between missions.

Nick held out a finger for Caruso to hop on and said in a kind of baby talk voice "Caruso's not stupid. He's very smart for a bird. Aren't you baby?" then whistled and smiled when he received a returned whistle. "See? Very smart for a tiny little bird brain. And I'd never give him to a bird killer like Kurt."

Nick put Caruso back in his cage and returned to sit next to Jeff.

"Ready?" he asked controller in hand.

"Actually, I was thinking we could go see Kurt. Since we have the day off" suggested Jeff hopefully.

"Seriously? I'm supposed to give up my day off to galavant down to Lima so you can get your mac on with your boyfriend? And isn't he grounded and forbidden from seeing you anyway?"

"He's grounded and can't go anywhere but school but no one said I couldn't see him at school" countered Jeff triumphantly.

"I don't know, I'm pretty sure that's not what his father intended."

"He can see all of his other friends at school, and besides, he's the one grounded not me. If I just happen to show up at McKinley, how can he get in trouble for that?" argued Jeff logically.

"Fine, I miss my best friend who'd rather play Call of Duty more than anything in the whole world but fine" agreed Nick in a resigned voice.

"We can play after school the rest of the week. I haven't seen Kurt in person in over a week. I need to go change then we can hit the road."

"Why? What's wrong with what you have on?"

Jeff was already running up the stairs as he called back to Nick "I'm not supposed to wear these jeans any more. In fact, I was supposed to throw them out."

"Dude, you are so whipped."

"No I'm not. I didn't throw them away. I just can't wear them in front of Kurt."

"Whipped"

Kurt, Mercedes, and Rachel were sitting together in the cafeteria of McKinley when Jeff and Nick walked in. No one had hassled them or seemed to care that they didn't even go to the school. They hadn't warned Kurt that they were coming - Jeff had insisted that it gave Kurt plausible deniability.

When Kurt saw Jeff, his face lit up and he rushed to give his boyfriend an extended hug. But when Jeff tried to kiss him, Kurt backed away.

"No, no, no, we can't do that here. Not in Lima, not at McKinley" he said shaking his head. "I'm sorry."

Oh no, not the kicked puppy face he thought as he looked at his boyfriend pleading with his eyes for him to understand that they just couldn't. Not here.

"It's OK, I understand" replied Jeff even though truly he didn't.

The three boys sat down. Jeff and Nick sat across for Kurt, Mercedes, and Rachel.

"Rachel, this is my boyfriend Jeff and his best friend Nick. Nick this is Rachel and Mercedes."

"Yeah, I know. Mercedes and I are already Facebook friends even though I guess we haven't properly been introduced before. Rachel, you're New Direction's Blaine right? I noticed you at Regionals. Hogging up the spotlight." snarked Nick at Rachel.

"Humph. Well, I just have more talent than anyone else. It's only natural I should be featured more" replied Rachel haughtily.

Mercedes and Kurt exchanged bitch please looks but didn't say anything.

"I wonder if he ever thinks of me" mused Rachel "Ours was a tragic and star crossed romance. So sad, we would have had such talented children" she sighed.

"Romance? Please, you had one drunken kiss, a date, and when he kissed you sober he realized he was 100 % gay. I wouldn't call that star crossed" retorted Kurt.

"And you children might have been talented but they'd be freakish little hobbits" laughed Mercedes.

"Well, I'm over him anyway. Finn is the love of my life" declared Rachel firmly.

"So what brings you two to McKinley?" asked Mercedes. "Shouldn't you be in school? I hope you aren't planning on beating anyone up today."

"I came to surprise Kurt" said Jeff with a smile. "We have the day off at Dalton."

"I'm glad you did" replied Kurt with a smile. He took Jeff's hand, deciding that surely hand holding wouldn't be too risque.

"Weren't you the guy hitting on Brittany right in front of her boyfriend at the lonely hearts dinner?" Rachel asked Nick.

"You mean that blond chick over there sitting by the hot dish of salsa?" Nick asked pointing over at a table where Artie and Sam sat across for Brittany and Santana. "Sure, I'd tap that. Never hurts to ask, I mean just because she has a boyfriend doesn't mean she'd say no."

Kurt and Jeff were oblivious to the conversation as they just sat looking at each other with matching goofy grins.

"I like your hat" Jeff said feeling like a dork because he's pretty sure he is supposed to be saying something romantic and awesome about now.

"Thanks" beamed Kurt.

"It's red" continued Jeff wondering why 'it's red' sounded like the dumbest thing ever said in the history of time. "I mean red is a really good color for you" he amended.

Kurt let go of Jeff's hand and stood up declaring "I have to go to the bathroom" as he turned and fled the table.

Jeff just sat watching him go with a puzzled look until Nick poked him saying "Dude! He wants you to follow him. I mean, duh, isn't this what you came down here for?"

Realization dawned in Jeff's eyes as he mouth made a silent O. He jumped up and followed Kurt out of the cafeteria. As his eyes landed on Kurt's fine ass that was so visible under those too tight red jeans, he was jealous of everyone at McKinley. Everyone got to see this sight, every single day. It just wan't fair at all.

Jeff had never been in a girl's bathroom before but he didn't really stop to think about it because he was too busy kissing Kurt. Finally. Too soon, Kurt broke away.

"Let me make sure we're alone and that we stay that way" he explained. Kurt checked all the stalls, then hung an out of order sign that he found in a supply closet on the outside of the door. As an extra precaution, he jammed the door with a broom through the door handle.

He turned to his boyfriend but before he could say anything, Jeff grabbed him and backed him the the line of sinks and lifted him up on the counter. Kurt lost his hat along the way but he didn't care. He was too busy responding to Jeff's fierce claiming kisses. They usually went much slower then this but they were both feeling desperate and needy. Hands all over as they ground into each other, lips and tongue clashing.

"You have entirely too much on" panted Jeff as he tried to work Kurt's tie off. "Why are you wearing a tie when you don't have to?"

"Fashion and I didn't know you were coming."

Kurt pulled Jeff's t-shirt over his head as Jeff finally worked the last button of Kurt's dress shirt and rid him of the troublesome thing. They kissed bare chest to bare chest, Jeff's hands roaming along Kurt's back and Kurt's rested on Jeff's ass. As close as they were it just wasn't enough for Kurt. He hugged Jeff closer and wrapped his legs around the taller boy as they rutted into each other.

Kurt pulled back with a frustrated sound and reached down and undid Jeff's fly to free his hard cock, pushing his jeans and boxers down with one motion. He wrapped his hand around Jeff's cock and began pumping causing his boyfriend to moan as he reached down to free Kurt from his confinement as well. After a bit of an awkward struggle, Jeff managed to get Kurt's jeans completely off of him.

They held each other close again, Kurt legs wrapped around Jeff again, lips locked together, as they thrust into each other with mindless abandon. It was awkward and rough without any lube and sitting on the edge of a bathroom counter but neither of them noticed or cared because they just needed this too much. When their release came, they clung to each other panting for a bit, then fell into softer gentler kisses.

Jeff pulled back from Kurt and looked down at the mess on his stomach.

"I should clean you up" commented Jeff with a hungry look.

Kurt loved how Jeff would tenderly wash him after when they engage in activities like this but what happened next surprised him. Jeff dropped to his knees and started licking the cum off of Kurt's stomach, making little moaning noises as he did.

"Oh my god, Jeff that is so ...dirty" commented Kurt with wonder. "That's seriously hot and so wrong and...fucking hot."

Jeff just smiled up at him like the cat who found the cream and continued his efforts lower. When he started licking Kurt's still soft cock, Kurt had an overwhelming desire to push him away because it was just too much. He'd just come and the feeling was somewhere between pain, pleasure, and tickling. But watching his boyfriend on his knees taking him into his mouth, he just didn't care what it felt like, he wanted it so much. They didn't have time to wait for him to recover and he just couldn't not let Jeff do this.

Jeff sucked on Kurt's soft cock until it hardened in his mouth. Kurt's head dropped back and thunked against the mirror as Jeff continued with his very talented lips and tongue. Kurt was moaning calling Jeff's name as he tangled his hands in the blond boy's hair.

"Oh god, yes, that, Jeff you are so good at that. I can't believe you're going to make me come again. Oh, that feels so good. Don't stop" he begged looking at Jeff who had indeed stopped. Jeff slipped a finger in his mouth and was sucking on in in the most sensual way.

"That's seriously hot Jeff but we really don't have time for teasing. Please."

Jeff took Kurt back in his mouth deep throating him and the same time his slipped his finger into Kurt.

"Oh" groaned Kurt as Jeff croaked his finger just so sending shooting pleasure through Kurt's entire body. Kurt was an incoherent mewling mess when Jeff added a second finger thrusting in and out, brushing across Kurt's sweet spot just often enough to keep him guessing. Jeff began to suck in earnest as he fucked Kurt with his fingers until he could feel Kurt was really close. Kurt looked down at his boyfriend's blown eyes. He loved how the expression on Jeff's face when he was doing this always alway made him look like he was on the receiving end of the blow-job. He loved it that much.

Their eyes locked as Kurt said "I'm really close"

Jeff took his own cock in his free hand and beginning pumping furiously as he moaned around Kurt. Kurt cried out his name and filled Jeff's mouth with his cum. It was enough to send Jeff over the edge as well and he spilled his seed all over the floor in front of him.

Jeff got up off the floor a little shaky and dizzy but he managed to sink into Kurt, resting his head on the smaller boy's shoulder. They lost track of time as they kissed and caressed each other post climax. Finally, reluctantly letting go of each other, Kurt, hopped down, because his ass was kind of numb and he was well aware that they'd been gone probably most of the lunch hour and they both looked completely wrecked. Jeff cleaned them both up, hating to use course paper towels on Kurt's soft skin but it was all they had. They got dressed, Kurt trying not to think about the disheveled look his clothes now had. Jeff actually took the time to wipe the mess he made off the floor - he was that sort of thoughtful gentleman.

"We can go by my locker and get my hair looking decent" he said turning to look in the mirror.

"Oh my god" he cried staring at the huge purplish hickey prominently displayed on his neck.

"What?" said Jeff with a smirk as he snuggled up behind his boyfriend and wrapped his arms around him. "You can cover it with a scarf. Or not" smiling at the thought of everyone knowing Kurt was his. Of course they did already know that but he liked seeing the mark on Kurt's neck.

"If my dad sees this then he'll know I've seen you!"

"Oh, well just make sure you keep it covered. You love scarves."

"OK, let's go to my locker. Luckily, besides, my emergency hair supplies, I also have a stash of scarves."

As Kurt sprayed copious amount of hairspray and adjusted his scarf, Jeff couldn't help but notice the picture on the inside of Kurt's locker door. It was of course, Jeff with his M4. Next to the picture was lettering cut from magazines to spell "JEFF" and an arrow pointing to Jeff. On the other side was "VERA" and another arrow pointing to the M4. Kurt noticed Jeff smiling at the picture.

"You're much better looking than Adam Baldwin" he commented as he closed his locker. "I do know how to use Google you know" he laughed at Jeff's surprised look.

Meanwhile back at the cafeteria

"So I wonder where they're going?" asked a curious Mercedes.

"They're probably just going somewhere private for a little snog" assured Rachel.

Nick snorted because he was pretty sure way more that a little snog was going on right now. Lucky bastards. Jeff is probably getting a blow-job right now.

"So how are things at McKinley post Karofsky? Have any of his friends been bothering Kurt?" Nick asked.

"Friends? What friends?" asked Mercedes "Now that everyone knows he's gay, all of his so called friends suddenly never knew him. And no, no one has been bothering Kurt lately."

"So whatever happened to Karofsky?" asked Nick. It was a question he didn't dare asked in front of Kurt. The boy had seemed to genuinely want the best outcome for his former bully.

"No one knows" claimed Rachel "There are rumors but that's all they are."

"That's not true, I know" corrected Mercedes. "Quinn told me that his parents sent him off to some pray away the gay program. She would know. Her parents go to the same church as the Karofskys. It's really terrible, I actually feel sorry for him."

"Speaking of Quinn" said Rachel, changing the subject "Why are she and Finn never at lunch any more?"

"Well, I don't know who Quinn is but I'm guessing if she and Finn are both gone then they're off somewhere having a nooner."

"No way, Quinn is the president of the celibacy club" insisted Rachel but she didn't even sound convincing to herself.

"Yeah, and that's not ironic at all considering she gave birth at Regionals last year" supplied Mercedes.

Nick was completely bored now and had tuned out the conversation. He had his eye on the Latina girl a few tables over. He didn't remember her name but he'd flirted with her at the lonely hearts dinner. He hadn't been able to get her number - something about not dating guys from gay schools. He really hated that public school girls saw Dalton as a gay school.

"So what's up with Salsa over there? Is she with fish lips?"

"You mean Santana? Yeah, she's with Sam" answered Mercedes "But I'm pretty sure her definition of 'with' is pretty flexible."

"She's kind of a slut" translated Rachel.

"My kind of girl" mused Nick thoughtfully. He was weighing the risks of going over to her given that her very cut boyfriend was right there. That and the fact she was 90 minutes away and he didn't have a car. On the other hand, it was kind of perfect for double dates with Jeff and Kurt.

Whoa, snap out of it dude, she's just some random chick. He cautioned himself after imagining a few dates with her.

Jeff and Kurt returned to the table looking considerably disheveled and satisfied. Though somehow, Kurt's hair looked perfect. But no one at the table failed to notice the addition of a scarf to his ensemble.

"Did you to get lost on the way to the bathroom?" asked Mercedes pointedly.

Kurt blushed but his voice was steady as he replied.

"I took him on a tour."

"I'll bet you did" snarked Nick. "Ow, what was that for?" he complained when Jeff hit him in the arm.

"For having nasty thoughts" replied Jeff.

All too soon they were saying goodbye because Kurt couldn't be caught skipping class and getting grounded even longer.

As Jeff pulled up to his house, both boys noticed a police car and several other unknown cars in front of Nick's house. Before Jeff could pull into the drive way and park, Nick was out of the moving car and running toward his house. Jeff parked the car and went after him.

When Jeff came in through the front door he just stopped in his tracks. It had been years since Nick had allowed him to come over and it had not looked like this before. The place looked like there had been a wild party held here about a month ago and it hadn't been cleaned since. Actually it kind of looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years.

Nick was standing by his mom who was in cuffs yelling at the cop. Jeff walked over to his friend and at about the same time a woman dressed in a smart skirt and blazer ensemble came down the stairs with a man in a business suit. The woman walked up to Nick.

"Are you Nick Spencer?" she asked.

"Yes, what's going on here? What are you doing to my mother?"

"Mr. Spencer, I'm Stephanie Reynolds. I'm with child protective services. Your mother is under arrest for a number of charges and I'm here to take you into the foster care system."

"No, you can't do that. We're fine. What charges? You have to tell me."

"No actually I don't but I will. The most serious is child endangerment. Most of the others are related to drug possession and fraud. You need to pack some clothes and anything of personal value to you and then we'll go."

"No, absolutely not. My step-father will be here any minute so you can just leave me here. I'll work on getting my mom a lawyer." It wasn't true, he hadn't seen the man in nearly a month but he had no intention of revealing that to her.

"Mr. Spencer, your step-father has absolutely no legal rights to you and my understanding that he has greatly contributed to you unsafe environment. We can leave without your things if you like, we aren't going far."

"Jeff, call your dad, please?" Jeff had never seen Nick like this. So completely unnerved.

"OK" he said as he pulled out his phone.

Nick and Ms. Reynolds walked up the stairs to Nick's room. Nick took out the key to the deadbolt on his door well aware that the fact he had a deadbolt on his bedroom door was a huge red flag. His room was completely different than the rest of the house. He managed to keep it neat and clean. He'd given up on the rest of the house long ago. It was just too much so he just tried to ignore it.

He packed a suitcase, mostly with his warbler uniforms and some clothes. Luckily, Caruso was still at Jeff's house so he wouldn't worry about the bird for now.

They let him say goodbye to his mother at least. She was only a little drunk and had just kept telling him she was sorry.

"What's going to happen to her?" Nick asked as she was driven away.

"If she cooperated, rehab. With budget cuts, it really isn't in anyone's best interest to put people in jail for minor things like this. That's not really my area, however, my job is to make sure you are in stable safe environment. That isn't easy to find for a seventeen year old usually but your case is rather special."

"Jeff, what did your dad say?"

"He just kept saying that everything is fine and he'd see us in a few minutes."

When they walked across the street instead of getting in Ms. Reynolds' car, everything clicked in place for Nick. His eyes went from lost and hurt to cold and angry in seconds. Jeff saw the change in his friend but he was still confused even as his father met them at the door.

"Come on in Ms. Reynolds. I see you've met my oldest son Jeff. He's Nick's best friend."

"Yes, I'm aware of that."

"Have you explained everything to Nick?"

"No I figured it would be easier here. Do you have somewhere we can all sit and go over the paperwork?"

"Yes, let's go to my study."

"What's going on Dad?" asked Jeff who still hadn't understood the situation.

"Nick's going to be living with us for a while. In fact, with you, so why don't you go get a measuring tape and start planning out your room, OK? Obviously Nick will have a say but we need to do some business with Ms. Reynolds first."

"Did you hear? We'll be living together." said Jeff excitedly. He really wanted to hug Nick but the boy absolutely hated being hugged so Jeff contained his excitement.

"Standing right here so, yeah, I heard."

Jeff ran up to his room to consider how they would need to rearrange things.

Nick, Mr. and Mrs. Herrmann, and Ms. Reynolds convened in Mr. Herrmann's study. They started signing paperwork as Ms. Reynolds started explaining things like home inspections, follow-up visits, etc but Nick wasn't really listening to it.

"How long?" he asked after a while.

"How long will you be in foster care? Until you're eighteen, which if my records are correct is eight months from now. Of course, theoretically, you could be back in your mother's custody before then but it seems unlikely. You'll be allowed to see her when she completes rehab but I don't see how anyone in good conscience could put you in her care again. She has been stealing money from you for years. Those trust fund disbursements were supposed to be for your care, Nick, not for her own personal vices."

Nick keep silent for a while after that answer. He didn't say that he was the one taking care of her not the other way around. He didn't point out that he had everything under control including making sure the bills were paid. He didn't suppose admitting to forging checks was a good idea. He didn't even ask who had turned her in because he knew. It could have only been the Herrmanns. He kept up such a good front, no one else could have done it. The house looked great on the outside, his grades were fine, the utility bills were all paid. Everything was nice and swept under the rug. It couldn't have been anyone else. Sure, he had to have her taken to the emergency room for alcohol poisoning recently but no way would that have gotten child protective services involved.

The Herrmanns just kept signing papers and Ms. Reynolds kept droning on.

Nick crossed his arms and glared before trying his next barb.

"Jeff's gay. I can't stay here because he might sodomize me in my sleep."

Strangely, that didn't get the explosion he'd hoped for. Instead of anger, the Herrmann's just looked at him with what he could only guess was pity. He didn't need their fucking pity.

"Nick" started Ms. Reynolds "You're being placed in this home and there is nothing you can say to me that will change that. I've vetted this family and this is probably by far the best placement I've ever made. If you have a problem with Jeff being gay, then you can work that out with your foster parents. It's really none of my business."

"Can I sign the rest after my husband?" asked Mrs. Herrmann. "Nick doesn't actually need to be here does he?"

"Yes, you can and no he doesn't."

"Come on Nick, let's go talk sleeping arrangements" said Mrs. Herrmann. Nick followed her out of the room and down the hall.

"This is my craft room. It's pretty small, but there is closet and a window. I can get the boys to clear it out for us and we can make this your room. Ali's going to have a fit, that you get your own room but she being going to college in the fall anyway. She'll get over it. What do you think?"

Nick just shrugged.

"OK, then when I get finished signing everything, you and I will go shopping. We probably can't get you set up until tomorrow but you'll be fine sleeping in Michael and Austin's room tonight won't you?"

"I can sleep with Jeff tonight" he muttered looking at the floor.

"You aren't afraid he'll sodomize you?" she teased.

He couldn't believe she wasn't mad. She was actually teasing him.

"You won't tell him I said that will you?"

"No, I know you didn't mean it. I get that you're angry and upset. It's OK to feel that way. Now go tell Jeff that you're getting you own room so he can stop obsessing about furniture placement."
