savannah-araiza-5: I was wondering if you could have Jeff have like some sort of breakdown about something sad and Wes comforting him?

Of course I can have that ;)


This was something no one had seen before. Wes Montgomery was late. He was never late. But since the get go this morning his day had been a constant event of misfortune. His bell rang half an hour later than usual so he his whole schedule was shifted half an hour forward, well not when it came to classes. All his extra work and stuff he always did between classes was half an hour off so he was constantly late. It was unheard of! But Wes was adamant on getting everything done, even if it meant he was a bit stressed. He was right now late for his pre-Warbler arrangements. Blaine had notified him that Kurt wanted to join today so there was going to be an audition, so Wes had some things to take care of before. Mainly get the camera and recording gear set up so that they could record Kurt's audition. But also make sure he had harmonies for a countertenor.

But as he was hurrying down the stairs of the dorm he froze. He heard sobbing and as the boys named it: his big brother senses were tingling. Wes stopped his run and turned around completely, facing away from the stairs and walking up to a door. He knocked slightly.

"Jeff", he asked. "You okay?"

He got no answer.

"Jeffy I know you are in there."

He still got no answer and with a sigh he sent a text to Thad, asking him to set up the camera and the other recording gear and asked David to make sure he got all their arrangements for sectionals out so Wes later could work in what was needed while David lead them through the choreography. He got texts back asking if he was sick but he ignored them and pushed the door open to Jeff and Nick's room. He turned and closed the door and dropped his things on Nick's bed which was closest to the door. Wes then turned, walked up to Jeff's bed and sat down on the floor next to it… and next to Jeff.

Jeff didn't look at him but Wes could still see the tears. Wes raised his arm and as he did Jeff latched onto him, burying his face in Wes' shoulder and hugging him tightly. If Jeff had been sobbing before he was bawling now. Wes smiled sadly and put his arms around Jeff and hugged him tightly. Jeff just cried and buried his face deeper into Wes' blazer. Each sob was so strong and sad that it tore at Wes' heart. He rocked Jeff gently and the younger boy moved around a bit, to get Wes closer to him. He threw his legs over Wes' so he was almost on the older boy's lap. He put his arms around Wes' neck and continued to cry. Wes just held him and rested his head on Jeff's.

Come along
Will there be sunshine shinin'?
Will we find a silver linin'?
Come along
Sing a song
When today becomes tomorrow
Will we find joy or sorrow?
Sing a song

Is it wrong?
To put all our hopes together
And wish for something better?
Is it wrong
To belong?
To face the future with another
Who means more than any other
Is to belong

We'll paint the grey clouds
With pretty rainbow hues
And we'll brush the gloom away
And save it for a rainy day
Rainy day
Oh today!

If troubles cast a shadow
And shadows makes the sun afraid to stay
But it's okay
'Cause there will be sunshine shinin'
And we'll find a silver linin' another day

Tomorrow is another day

How I wish you'll always stay

Tomorrow is another day

Jeff's sobbing eased a little and he cuddled closer to Wes. The older boy rubbed his back and waited for Jeff to calm down completely. Wes wondered where Nick was and made a mental note to make sure he knew that soon. He listened to the footsteps outside of the door. Nope not Nick's. After a little bit more Jeff had calmed down even more but was still holding on tightly to Wes.

"Will you tell me what's wrong", Wes asked gently and rocked the younger boy back and forth, like a mom would a small child. Jeff sniffled and snuggled even closer, if that was possible. He sniffled again.

"I overheard something", he mumbled.

"What", Wes asked and moved his hand to Jeff's hair to run his fingers through it. He knew it was a way to calm Thad down, but it worked on the other Warblers as well.

"Some seniors were making fun of me…"

"How?"

"They were joking about me being an Aussie and for blowing five solo-auditions."

Wes felt his brow furrow and he tightened his hold just a little.

"They said", Jeff said and sniffled. "They said that it was obvious that I wasn't good enough to solo just good enough to backup the real stars. They said it was obvious I was the worst of the Warblers so they keep me doing backup because of it."

"You know that's not true baby", Wes told him soothingly.

"Then why does it feel like it?"

"Sticks and stones can break my bones…"

"But words can't harm me."

"What a load of crap", Wes said and Jeff stared at him. "I can swear… fuck."

Jeff smiled slightly and then rested his head on Wes' shoulder again.

"Wes… why don't I get solos?" he asked and Wes sighed.

"Because I keep getting voted down", Wes said sadly. "I try and try to hand it to you and Nick but the other members, since you joined, always want Blaine to solo instead. So we ask the whole group and the whole group votes for Blaine. Jeff you have an amazing voice. Don't let those idiots bring you down."

"But… they said all I am good for in the Warblers is to have something to fantasize about…"

"What?!" Wes stared at him and Jeff sobbed.

"They said I'm just in the Warblers because I'm good looking and that the only reason I probably got in last year was because someone on the council fucked me or something."

"WHAT?!" Wes' yell caused Jeff to jump sky high and he scrambled away from Wes.

"I'm sorry", he sobbed. "I didn't mean to make you angry! I'm sorry!"

"Jeff", Wes said and grabbed him and pulled him into a hug. "I'm not angry with you."

"But… but you yelled… you never yell."

"I yell when someone hurts my little brothers", Wes said firmly and rocked Jeff soothingly.

"But… but what if they are right? What if I'm not good enough to be a Warbler?"

Wes sighed and got up from the floor. Jeff looked at his feet and a tear trickled down his cheek.

"What if they're right", Jeff mumbled.

"Okay that's it", Wes said and grabbed Jeff's arm and pulled him up.

"Huh?" Jeff asked confused.

"We're taking a little road trip Jeffy", Wes said and dragged Jeff out of the room, taking his stuff with him of course, it was Mr. Organized after all we're talking about.


Jeff had no idea of where they were going. Wes was leading him by the elbow and he promptly ignored anyone that was in his way he just in a gentlemanly way told them to fuck off. Jeff blushed when they brushed past a group of freshmen that gave them strange looks.

"Wes", he tried but the senior was not listening. Jeff was still confused but soon realized where they were going, the Warbler Hall.

"No!" Jeff said. "Wes please!"

Wes ignored him and dragged him into the room. David and Thad were there and looked up when they came in.

"Hi", Thad said and smiled at them from setting up the recording stuff. "We're almost done here Wes."

"Good", Wes said calmly. "Come along Jeff."

"Uh Wes where are you going", David asked and Wes walked past him and up to a door. He took out a key and unlocked the door. He opened it and pushed Jeff inside. Then he looked at Thad.

"Thad do you have your laptop with you", he asked.

"Yeah", Thad said. "Why?"

"Can I borrow that for a little bit?"

"Uh… sure."

Wes snatched the laptop, got in behind Jeff and slammed the door shut.


"Wes I promise I won't ever be a bother again!" Jeff said in panic. "Please just don't murder me and cut me to pieces!"

Wes ignored him as he looked through the shelves and soon found what he was looking for. He opened up Thad's laptop and got it started. Jeff had no idea on how Wes knew Thad's password but at the same time he wasn't shocked or surprised. This was Wes after all. Wes opened up the DVD unit and put in a disk.

"Uh Wes", Jeff asked but then a voice started talking and Wes handed Jeff the laptop.

"My name is Jeff Henderson and I love to sing and dance", the voice said and Jeff watched himself on the screen. It was his audition to the Warblers from last year. Jeff listened to himself sing and saw his own face lit up when Wes told him he'd gotten in. The audition video finished and he looked up at Wes but the older boy just pointed at the screen. Jeff looked and realized that the video wasn't over yet. A new title was written.

"Council Motivation" it said. Wes phased into view along with the other council members. They were sitting behind the council table and it was clear that they were the only ones there.

"The council all agreed that Jeff Henderson suits within the Warblers", Wes said and the boys beside him nodded. "Jeff has a voice that is not yet fully developed. But so far it is amazing."

"We believe that with some more training Jeff will have one of the best voices within the Warblers", the secretary said. "His technique needs some small tinkering to make him go even further."

"Other than that", the other member said. "Jeff has the energy and spirit the Warblers are looking for. He is happy and when he is everyone else is. He sings with emotion and it's clear that he feels what he sings."

"There is no doubt with any of the council that Jeff might become lead soloist someday or shared lead soloist", Wes said. "All he needs is just some more training and then there will be no stopping him."

"The council is united in these opinions", the secretary said. "Is Jeff Henderson a Warbler?"

"Defiantly", the whole council said and they faded away and the clip ended. Jeff stared at the screen. He never knew the council felt like that about him. He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around and hugged Wes tightly. Wes rubbed his back and ran his fingers through Jeff's hair.

"See Jeffy", he said softly. "The council has believed in you from the start. You just need some practice. You are just a sophomore kiddo. I promise you will soon be as fantastic as our former leads."

"Not as good as Blaine?"

"This stays between us but no, you will be better. Blaine gets sloppy sometime but you always work hard to improve while Blaine is content with being where he is… voice like. You strive to get better and you will be kiddo. Trust me."

"I always trust you Wes", Jeff said and looked up at Wes. Wes wiped the tears off of Jeff's cheeks and smiled.

"So let's go see what this Kurt can do okay?" he asked and Jeff nodded and flew up. He smiled brightly and gave Wes a hug before running out.


Jeff and Nick stared as a bunch of seniors came limping into the cafeteria and when they saw Niff looking at them they hurried away as fast as they could.

"What did you do", Jeff and Nick asked each other at the same time.

"Nothing", they said.

"But I didn't-"

"So you must've-"

"Who-"

They got there answer when the seniors stopped just by them and was about to say something.

"Move", a sharp cold voice said and the seniors high-tailed it with a few:

"Sorry Jeff!" or "Forgive me Henderson!"

Jeff and Nick stared at the retreating forms and watched who they'd run from. Wes sat down beside Jeff and patted his shoulder.

"Wes what did you do", Nick asked.

"Nothing", Wes said. "Just made sure some jerks knew how I really felt about something." He winked at Jeff and Jeff grinned and hugged Wes tightly.

"I don't understand anything", Nick said and returned to eating his lunch. Jeff just smiled and held on to Wes for the rest of the lunch, hugging him happily and if he got annoyed he didn't even show it.
