Jeff was sure that now was a perfectly good time to go down to breakfast. It was either that or face Nick again. But as he turned to walk out the door he bumped straight into a tall figure with a clipboard entering the room. Jeff recognised him as one of the seniors who had showed him around yesterday.
"Room inspection", he said curtly before shutting the door.
He brushed past Jeff and began scrutinising every inch of Nick's side of the room.
"Can't be too careful with him", he joked.
Jeff stood plastered to the wall as the older boy began to open the draws of Nick's desk.
"Oh god...not again", he sighed, "Nick...Nick! Come out of the bathroom this instant!"
He strode over and began knocking on the bathroom door furiously.
"Wow, David, didn't realise you were so invested in seeing me naked. Why don't you come in and join me?" Nick called from inside.
"This isn't funny Nick."
"Oh but it is my dear"
"Listen" he said angrily, "this is your last warning. Next time I find cigarettes in your room I WILL be informing Mr. Peterson.
"Oh WILL you now? Will you? Will you? What shall I do!"
David clenched his teeth.
"Please officer, I'm so young, I can't go to prison! Do you know what they do to guys like me in there? Please, please, one more chance, I have a wife and children at home. It shan't happen again!"
"Shut up Nick! This is serious. Come out of there right now!"
There was a slight pause, before the brunette strode out of the bathroom with nothing but a towel around his waist, shaking his hair so that drops of water went flying onto David's face.
Jeff turned around shyly, his face reddening upon seeing Nick's toned chest.
"Nick", David said in a lowered voice.
"Yes"
"It is my duty as Prefect to –"
"Yes"
"...protect the welfare of all students –"
"Yes"
"...and when I find someone in the possession of –"
"Yes"
"Illicit or dangerous –"
"Yes"
"Shut up!"
"That wasn't very Prefect-like of you."
"Fine. That's it. I'm done", David shouted, "Next time I catch you, you will be suspended and I will personally make sure you are removed from the Warblers."
The stood in silence, staring at each other. Nick coughed.
"You're kinda sexy when you're angry."
David stormed out of the room, cigarettes in his hand, slamming the door shut behind him.
Jeff remained stuck to the wall, now very pale and his heart pounding loudly in his chest.
He glanced over at Nick, now in front of the mirror, combing his fingers through his hair and whistling. He tried to stop staring, but he couldn't. He scanned the entire length of Nick's body, his eyes finally arriving on the towel. He immediately averted his gaze upward and began blushing wildly.
He was in awe of this boy who had managed to both insult and humiliate the Prefect that he himself had been too shy to actually talk to the previous day.
"I think the walls can stand up by themselves..." Nick said as he buttoned up his blazer.
Jeff stepped away from the wall, grabbed his folder and immediately ran out of the room trembling, his hands twice as pale as before. He had missed breakfast. He didn't care, he was too nervous to eat anyway.
Nick followed soon after, staring and the blonde boy and grinning as he scurried down the hallway.
He then turned on his heel and headed directly in the direction of David's room.
