Prompt: A new hair colour

Words: 587

Characters: Niff. Because this actually happened to a friend of mine, and so rather than going with Sam or Britt, Jeff was the first blonde I could think of…

"You know, one of these days," Nick said in between planting kisses on his boyfriend's neck, "you're really going to get into trouble for that."

"And what would that be, exactly?" Jeff responded, low and husky, the flirtatious nature clearly not an undertone.

"These fingers of yours." He grabbed them up from his thigh, kissing each tip before moving the wrist up to the back of his head. "Always… fiddling…"

"Mmm…" Jeff pulled Nick's head back to lean over and capture his lips for a moment before sliding his hands down his back, fingers pressing and working out to untangle the knots he knew were coming. "Such a trouble-maker, I am…"

"Tell me about some of your…" He leant in close, teeth grazing across his jawline as he whispered up near his ear, "escapades…"

"Oh, there have been many," he rasped, hands still exploring through Nick's chest and back and neck and, well, anything that was in any sense chiselled, really… but, in that moment, the mood suddenly broken, Jeff burst into laughter.

Nick just groaned, falling back against the couch and breathing heavily. "Bastard." He still leant in to Jeff's touch, that image of a puzzle piece that no amount of time away from Blaine and his blasted Katy Perry could remove, their skin and soul and, well, everything, just fitting together like a magnet split in two. "You better not be thinking of Finding Nemo!"

Jeff shook his head. "Actually, no, for once."

"Then what?" Nick asked, biting his lip in response to Jeff's smirk. "You know, it better be good," he growled in an uncharacteristic show of bravery, "because this afternoon might otherwise have been very… lucrative… for you…"

He couldn't help but lean in for another kiss… but the grin was still evident, the corners of his lips perked up, even as he pulled back again. "You know this isn't my natural hair colour, right?"

All Nick could manage was an eye roll.

"Well, back in year 7, at my old school, I was sitting in class one day, bored as ever because, really, who pays attention to the words of an incredibly hot teacher? Especially when it's something stupid like long multiplication. I mean, honestly."

"Mmm."

"You're hotter than she could ever be, by the way. But, anyway, I was sitting there with a Sharpie in my hand…"

"Oh, gosh. I can see where this is going…"

"Yeah… The lid was off… I ended up with unintentional purple highlights… in an all-boy's private school…"

Nick snorted, shaking his head. "Dag. Of course you did."

Jeff grinned at the adopted idiom. "You love it. The school? Not so much. Apparently part of Scotch's uniform policy was forbidding the dyeing of hair."

"So what happened?"

"Oh… not much, really. I was a pretty good kid on the whole. Well-behaved and all that – never ended up getting the strap or anything."

Nick nodded, eyes blank, the hyperbole going straight over his head.

"So, I just had to dye it blonde. The only time ever that a student has been ordered to dye their hair, I think, and probably the last. We all found it rather ironic."

"You're insane," Nick told him dryly. "How did you even think of that?"

"Well, you did mention… what was it? Fingers getting me into trouble?"

"So I did."

"Enough with the distractions?"

They moved in closer, barely an inch between their lips, the movement of Nick's words whispering against the skin of his chin. "Enough with the distractions… dag."

Okay, this has been holding me up awhile. It's... pointless fluff, I suppose, if we even want to grace it with that. But I had no idea what to do, so it became this. And now it's done :p

Thank you to everyone still with me! No time for rambles because it's past 1 am, and I've got uni tomorrow and I'm tired. So shoot me. I'll rant more in the next update (after 39) :p Shout outs to Tara621, ficdirectory, PenMagic and Eraman!

Like it? Hate it? Want my hairdresser to forget about bleach in my hair so it burns off? Please let me know!

Keep smiling! :D
