Nick was in paradise, heaven, he couldn't even describe it. Jay couldn't describe it either, it was so different from kissing a girl, and so much better.

When the kiss broke Jay still didn't let go of Nick, "please don't leave," Gatsby whimpered out of breath.

"I won't. Not unless you ask me," Nick murmured.

"I have a big bed, I'd be willing to share tonight."

"I would get scared in this big house all by myself."

"I'll show you to my room," Gatsby whispered in his ear, "just so you know I prefer to sleep in the nude too."

"Okay, yeah that's definitely going to have to change. However, I wouldn't mind just boxers."

"I can make that happen. Anything you request, I can make it happen, the world is at your fingertips."

"All I want is to be next to you in bed right now," Nick pleaded.

"Nothing more, nothing less?" Jay confirmed.

"No, just the complexity of you next to me."

"Sounds perfect to me," Jay whispered and lifted Nick off the ground.

"Gatsby, aren't I a little tall for this? I'm taller than you."

When Jay had sent Nick down gently on a king-sized mattress Nick stopped doubting himself.

"You being taller than me just makes it all the better," Nick chuckled, "I don't mind, it's better than any girl."

"That's why I'm gay," Nick laughed.

"Oh, Nick," Jay rolled his eyes.

"Gatsby," Nick moaned slightly.

"Don't turn me on, Nick," Jay scolded.

"Goodnight pretty boy," Nick rolled his eyes.

"Goodnight Nicky," Jay smiled.

"Please, just don't call me that," Nick requested.

"Okay, Nick, I won't. Don't you dare stop calling me but my last night name though, it's hot as fuck."

Nick was already snoring lightly. Jay just chuckled as he wrapped his arms around Nick. He knew he couldn't be doing this at school but right now it felt right to be in his bubble, and he didn't want to leave.

Morning came just as fast as their first kiss had happened and the two were startled by Jay's alarm. Nick quickly sat straight up while Jay threw a pillow at the alarm which did quiet it down.

"Gatsby, come on, you have to go to school. I have to go home and get different clothes."

"You know we can't be this in school, right?"

Nick rolled his eyes, "yes, I know, I'm not stupid."

Nick thought Jay might apologize for being so incredibly selfish but his lips didn't even move. Nick leaned back down and quickly pecked Jay's lips despite it.

"Okay sleeping beauty I have to go, try and make it to school on time."

Nick stood up and Jay followed Nick to quickly spin him around and pin him up against the wall wasting no time to capture Nick's lips.

"Now that's a goodbye kiss. Be here again at 7:30," Gatsby demanded.

Nick nodded eagerly, still dazed from the kiss. He walked out and knew this relationship would be everything he ever wanted but at the same time the one thing that would tear him apart. In the car, Nick wasted no time and immediately called Jordan up

(don't text/ call people while driving)

"Nick? What is it? It's not even 7 yet?" Jordan answered the phone groggy.

"We have school in less than an hour," Nick stated, "regardless I have the best night ever."

"I bet, you sound way too energetic for 7 in the morning."

"He kissed me, Jordan. He kissed me!"

"Who did?"

"Gatsby did!"

"He's gay?"

"No, he's bi."

"He just told you?"

"Well, there is a little more of an awkward story to it," Nick admitted.

"You woke me up, you might as well tell me."

"So I told you we were doing the project, right?"

"Yes, you wouldn't shut up about it."

"I asked him to draw a few pictures and he said he would. He went to the kitchen to get a snack when we were done. I looked at his pictures and I was just amazed. I had asked for two pictures but there was a third sheet, it was a picture of me with the bi-colors over it. When he came back he asked what I was doing. I just pretended I didn't see the last one. I was about to leave but he told me to stay a bit longer so I did. He asked what I had written about and I was explaining some of the protests and he asked me what it was like being gay. I explained how I loved feeling like myself. I asked him if he really didn't know anything about the community or the flags. He mentioned the rainbow and I asked if he knew what bi meant or that the colors were pink, purple, and blue. He called me a liar and I still played dumb. He told me that it was wrong that he was in love with Daisy and that he shouldn't be looking at me that same way. I told him how I would never be good enough for anyone and how I was just going to leave and he could finish it for himself. He grabbed me and told me I couldn't leave, that he wanted me to stay, and he wanted me to come back tomorrow. I told him that he would never mean it and he would have to find a way to prove it. He gets turned on by getting called his last name and when I did he asked me to say it one more time. I sounded so desperate begging him but then he kissed me and it was worth it. He didn't let me leave so we slept in his bed, emphasis on sleep, Jordan. We woke up and he told me we couldn't do it all during school but I don't care I'm just happy he did anything at all."

"Nick, that all sounds wonderful, it truly does, but doesn't that seem toxic if you never get to be in public together?"

"I know Jordan, I really think so too but it's just such bliss."

"Just be careful. He did say he was in love with Daisy."

"I know, it seems like everyone but me is."

"Joking aside Nick, just really be careful."

"I will Jordan, I'll talk to you more during school."

"Okay, then Nick. Talk to you later," Jordan said, hanging up.

Nick quickly changed and went to school. Standing next to Jordan in the hallway the two talked about things not related to last night. They talked about algebra homework neither of them really understood. They talked about the history work that they knew they were going to drown in. Even though Nick was excited and it was all he wanted to talk about it he thought it better to bite his tongue.

After school Jordan came over again.

"Is she here today?" she asked quietly as she stepped in.

"Do I need to go force a conversation between you and her?" Nick groaned.

"Could you?" Jordan asked.

Nick nodded and found Daisy in the study with Tom.

"Hey, Daisy? Can I talk to you outside real quick?"

Tom grunted but Daisy agreed to it.

"What is it, Nicky?" She asked as he closed the door to the study.

"Do you remember my friend Jordan?" he asked.

"The one you were in the hall with?" she questioned.

"Yes, that one. Well, she has a girl issue that she wanted to talk to you about."

Daisy giggled, "of course, I'll talk to her Nicky. Every girl needs some girl time. By the way," she started as Nick started leading her towards Jordan, "have any boys caught your eye around the school?"

Nick hesitated, "there is someone!" Daisy accused.

"Maybe," Nick hesitated again, "Jay Gatsby is nice to look at, in our English class."

"Oh, Nick! No! He's just…" Daisy trailed off, "he's not what you want."

"If he liked me, I would be satisfied," Nick claimed.

"Nicky," she sighed, "just don't let your head run away. I just know he isn't right for you."

"Is he really? Or is this just because he wasn't right for you?" Nick accused.

"Did he tell you?" Daisy asked.

"No, but Jordan did and at least she had the courtesy to. You know what Daisy? I'm going to like whoever I want to and right now, I really like him."

"He'll leave for another guy!" Daisy shot back, "just like he did to me."

"He's dated another guy before?" Nick was curious now. With all the homophobic comments Jay constantly came up, Nick was certain he was Jay's first boy.

"Why do you think he isn't dating anyone? He got with a boy and everyone hated him. I'm surprised if he'll give you a second glance. He loathed being hated and he sure as hell wouldn't do that again. He wants all he'll never be. I'm telling you, he has his eyes on some guy and because he can't date him, he's not going to date anyone, not me and especially not you!"

Nick was shocked when all this information came spilling out of Daisy's mouth.

"Jordan is waiting in the main hall, tell her I'm in my room if she asks," Nick said and briskly walked away.

He needed time to process, time to think. His head was spinning and he was surprised he could see straight. For some reason, his heart rate was skyrocketing and Nick was trying to keep his breathing under control. The words in his head we're like blades to his heart and he had to get them out. Nick tried to convince him, some part of Jay was in love with Nick. Nick was certain, they wouldn't have kissed otherwise, he wouldn't have been invited back otherwise. It wasn't all a lie! Jordan then came in.

"I don't know what you told her but way to set her up with the worst conversation topic ever!" Jordan complained.

"I'm sorry we got into a fight about Gatsby and then I just threw her into the room with you."

"What did she say?" Jordan inquired.

"She said that after Gatsby was hated for dating one guy that he would never date another guy, especially me. That he probably has some guy on his mind but it doesn't matter because he won't date anyone because of it."

"I didn't even know he ever dated a guy."

"She said that he had left her for a guy and when people found out they hated him. I don't think anyone was ever supposed to know."

"That's why he doesn't want you and him to get out."

"Yeah, it makes sense. He's scared, we all are to come out."

"You're going over again tonight, aren't you?" Jordan asked.

Nick nodded, "okay I'm picking out your outfit again though," Jordan stated as she walked over to the closet.

"I have to go talk to her, I want to make dinner and I should make dinner for her if she's going to be eating here."

"Did you want me to go with you?" Jordan asked, peeking her head out of the closet.

"Not unless you want the small chance of seeing Daisy again," Nick joked.

"No, go ahead. It's going to take me a while to find anything good in this closet anyway."

Nick walked back toward the study and knocked gently on the door. Daisy opened it and shut it in his face.

"I just need to know if you and your boyfriend want dinner!" Nick called through the door.

"Not if you're making it! It would probably be poisoned!" Daisy called back.

Nick rolled his eyes but got started on a simple dinner for him and Jordan. He didn't care about forgetting about Daisy and Tom, they weren't worth his time. Nick walked away with dinner cooling on the counter and went to tell Jordan that it was finished.

"Jordan? I only need one outfit for tonight," Nick commented seeing somewhere close to ten outfits laid out on his bed.

"Yes but if I'm not here then you need somewhere to start. Besides maybe as you guys progress further you can leave a few articles of clothing at his place? Or maybe you won't even need clothing at all?" Jordan laughed.

"You're right Jordan, I think I could probably fit into his clothes," Nick said, not falling for Jordan's innuendo.

"You very well know that's not what I meant."

"I also know there's dinner on the kitchen counter, let's go eat."

Dinner is mostly eaten in silence, "You're really good," Jordan commented with a mouthful of food, "you should cook Jay a meal for one of your dates."

"I could, I'm sure he's hungry after he gets out of practice," Nick commented, "I'll ask him about it tonight."

"Speaking of tonight, shouldn't you be leaving soon?"

Nick glanced at the time, "yes, I'll be going right after dinner."

Nick took some more caution this time, he threw everything in his car that he would need if he spent the night again.

Nick drove with his favorite playlist playing, usually, he would use his phone to get to an address two or three times before being confident enough without it but it wasn't difficult to get to the mansion he lived in and it stood out from its surroundings. Pulling up, Nick sent a quick here text before walking up to the door. Just like before a butler opened the door.

"I was told you know where to go," the butler simply said.

Nick nodded despite not really having a clue. Nick was them imagining Gatsby spread out naked on his bed, which would make sense why he wouldn't want anyone to guide them. Nick didn't really mind that thought and was glad he put a condom in his pocket. Nick decided to walk to his bedroom first. Sure enough, Gatsby was there but not completely naked at least. He was shirtless but had a tight pair of shorts on. For a moment all Nick could stare at was Gatsby's very defined and. His hair was also wet.

"Are you a swimmer?" Nick asked.

"Yes, that's why I request you to come over at 7:30 every night," Gatsby simply said.

Nick laid down on the bed next to Jay, "you know I cook myself. I could make you a great dinner after practice one of these days."

"That sounds wonderful."

The conversation wasn't going anywhere so Nick switched it up, "your abs are so defined, Gatsby," he moaned seductively as he began tracing his abs with his finger.

"Nick," Gatsby slowly said.

"This wouldn't be such a problem if you weren't so damn hot," Nick complained.

"Nick," Gatsby said again. This time though he took one of his hands and lifted Nick's face and gently kissed his lips.

"You're so blind to what you make me do Nick. How you make me feel," Gatsby stated.

"Did she ever make you feel this way?" Nick asked, "Daisy, I mean."

"Not even close. All she ever was, was another trophy, another accomplishment I could have achieved."

"And what was he?" Nick asked.

"Who?"

"The guy you left Daisy for?" Nick's voice rose like a question though Nick thought his statement to be true.

"She told you?" Gatsby seemed shocked.

"It was a long series of events," Nick admitted.

"We have all night."

So Nick told Gatsby the truth, how when Daisy asked he wasn't going to lie about finding Jay attractive. This led to her cracking and letting her feelings for Jay come to the surface. How she was certain he would never date another guy after the homophobic comments made at him.

"I wanted to tell her just to laugh in her face and prove her wrong. I didn't for you though, I know you don't feel comfortable yet so I just let her insult me."

"I'm sorry Nick. I wish I could be so open like you."

"I'm waiting for you Gatsby, whenever that is, I'll be here for you."

"You're too good for this world Nick."

"So what was he to you?" Nick asked again.

"Well, he used to be a sign that I could never be me but now I think he just helped me to understand who I am."

"And what am I?" Nick was careful to ask but was curious to know.

"You're," Gatsby hesitated, Nick was hoping it was to find the right words, "everything, Nick. You support me, and you're patient. You just, you see everything I can't see in myself and it means the world."

"You've changed my world so much in two days, you know that?"

"I finished that poster. Just like you requested."

"What a good boy you are," Nick teased.

"Don't I get a reward?" Gatsby complained.

Nick rolled his eyes but kissed Gatsby anyway because he would take any excuse to kiss him. They continued to kiss until they both felt something hard against their thighs.

Nick blushed and moved away, "I'm sorry, I just.."

"It's okay," Gatsby confirmed, "it happens."

Gatsby scouted back closer to Nick and trailed kisses to his neck and started sucking on his neck.

Nick let out a small moan, "Gatsby, you need to stop, I can't."

"Do you really want me to stop Nick?" he asked looking back at Nick's eyes.

"Of course I don't want you to stop but I think you do."

"Nick, there is nothing I rather do than fuck you until you can't stand up at school tomorrow."

Nick was surprised by Jay's sudden bluntness but was also very intrigued, "I have one in my pocket."

"Tell me if it's too much."

"Is this your first?" Nick asked.

"I… You're my first guy," Gatsby answered.

"Was it her?" Nick asked knowing he didn't need to qualify.

"Freshmen year."

"Now we are seniors and I want you to be my first," Nick confirmed.

Gatsby reached into Nicks pocket to grab the condom and set it on the nightstand to not lose it. He however made sure Nick lost his shirt quickly. Paying close attention to his nipples made Nick a moaning mess beneath him. Gatsby praised him through the whole thing loving that he could make Nick like this. As the clothes on their bottom half were stripped Jay was quick to grab the lube and stretch Nick out. Nick was moaning even louder and while he was crying in pain he was also crying out in pleasure.

"I'm sorry," Gatsby started, "I know this hurts but it will get better."

Gatsby started pushing his length and while Nick was whining in pain he didn't tell Gatsby to stop. He waited for Nick to adjust until he moved again. He went back and forth until he hit Nick's prostate. Nick continued to moan with the sensation.

"Holy… I love… You Gatsby," Nick shouted out in between moans. Jay hit the spot again and again until Nick came. This made Gatsby's pace reckless until he came.

"Damn," Nick breathed trying to calm it down.

Gatsby threw him a towel to clean himself up.

"I hope you aren't going to run away now," Gatsby joked as Nick just threw the towel to the floor.

"I sleep now," Nick grunted.

"You really want to sleep on those dirty sheets?"

"If you're with me I don't care where I sleep."

Gatsby rolled his eyes but he found tired Nick demanding yet adorable.

"Nick?" Gatsby asked as he went back to the bed, "you said you loved me, do you?"
