Finally caught up! This entry is a little shorter. Honestly, it's because I couldn't really think of more to add to it. I had a hard time coming up with something that was different just from them getting a duet for a competition or something so this might not be my best entry! But in other news, I just found this cool blog that's just starting up. .com/ I have a Niff obsession as I'm sure you do too or why would you be reading this? So this blog will be perfect! I'm gonna post he link when I next update BTWILY as well because I really like the idea of this blog. But anyway, back to Niff week! Enjoy the Duets entry :)
Niff Week, Day 3: Duets
Jeff paced back in forth in his shared dorm room with Nick. He was so nervous he could barely walk in a straight line. He was wringing his hands in front of him so much that they were beginning to sweat. Nick walked in to see the bundle of nerves before him.
"Um…Jeff?" Nick says taking a slow step towards the blonde. Jeff shoots his head up and looks at his best friend.
"Are you, okay?" Nick asks, slowly approaching him.
"Oh, um…yeah, I'm fine." Jeff says, hoping its convincing. Nick just raises an eyebrow. He can always see through his best friend's masks. Jeff sighs and sits down.
"I kinda actually need your help with something…" Jeff admits. Nick takes a seat next to him on the bed.
"Of course, Jeff. Anything, you know that," Nick smiles at his best friend. Jeff nods and takes a deep breath.
"I want you to help me sing a song. There's this Warbler I really like and I want to sing him a song but the song I've picked is a duet. Think you can help me out?" Jeff asks, looking at the brunette hopefully.
Nick swallows thickly, trying his best to hide his disappointment. "Yeah, sure Nick. What song did you have in mind?"
"Oh," Jeff smiles, "there's no need to practice it. I know you know it already. Just join in when I start singing tomorrow, okay?"
Nick nods, somewhat confused. "Yeah, okay. But can you at least tell me who we're singing to?"
Jeff just smiles as he gets up and walks towards the bathroom. "Nope."
It takes forever for the next Warbler rehearsal to finally come around. Everyone is seated as Wes bangs his gavel, calling the rehearsal to order. Nick watches Jeff closely, waiting for whatever song it is he's going to start singing. When there's only about ten minutes left to class Nick gives Jeff a look that says 'anytime dude…'. Jeff just chuckles and stands up.
"Everyone? I think you all know what time it is," Jeff announces to the room. Suddenly everyone turns to look at Nick, making him feel self-conscious. As if given some sort of cue, the Warblers start in on the background beat of a very familiar song. Jeff walks right up to Nick and begins to sing.
Do you hear me? I'm talking to you. (Jeff points to Nick) Across the water, across the deep blue ocean under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying.
Nick blushes furiously, hoping he's getting the right idea.
Boy I hear you in my dreams, I feel your whisper across the sea. I keep you with me in my heart, you make it easier when life gets hard.
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Jeff takes both of Nick's hands in his.
"I love you, Nicholas Duval."
"I love you too, Jeffery Sterling."
Jeff smiled and leaned in to kiss his love. His Nick.
The song is 'Lucky' by Jason Mraz in case you didn't know. See you all tomorrow! :)
