Nick sat at his desk trying to finish the day's homework, after a long and grueling day of classes, so he wouldn't have to do it on the weekend. Clearly procrastinating, he drifted off into thought and began tapping his pencil on his desk. At that moment, Jeff bounded though the door still dressed in his hockey uniform. The sight of Jeff brought Nick right out of his thoughts. Oh come on Jeff, please don't do this to me. You're even sexier with all that sweat. Nick! Stop it! You're staring.

"Um, so how was practice?" Smooth one Nick.

"Well he let us out a few minutes early which was great because some of those puck heads were definitely not on their game today. I was near ready to kick them where it counts." Jeff replied angrily.

"Hey that's great. Well not them, well you know. Never mind." Nick stammered.

"No worries I get it." Laughed Jeff. "So it's Friday night. What are our plans?"

"Our plans? Well did you have anything in mind?" Nick replied.

"Oh! Oh! Can we have a movie night? Please! We haven't had one in so long and we used to have them all the time!"

Yeah Nick thought. We did have movie nights all the time but I once I started developing feelings for you, I couldn't handle it anymore.

"Yeah, sure we can do that if you want." Nick said, knowing he would regret that decision later.

"Awesome! I'm excited! Hey, do you think I have time to take a shower real quick before Warbler rehearsal?"

"Well I'm not sure Jeff, you know you can take a really long time in there…"

"Ha, ha very funny Nick." Jeff laughed as he took off his sweaty hockey jersey and threw it at his roommate.

Nick laughed but quickly zoned out as a shirtless Jeff began to collect his shower things and make his way into the bathroom. What am I doing? I hope he didn't notice me staring. If I keep this up, it isn't going to end well. Jeff is straight Nick. He's straight! Nick didn't know what else to do while Jeff was in the shower so he kept thinking about his situation. He knew his secret was safe with David but he still couldn't help but worry that the others would find out. He knew he had to be more cautious about his body language. He couldn't let Jeff, or the others for that matter, catch him staring. But of course Nick wasn't going to stop that. He didn't want to and didn't even think he could if he had wanted to. He wasn't sure how long he was staring at the wall when he suddenly realized the water wasn't running anymore. Just then, Jeff emerged from the bathroom only wearing a towel around his waist. Oh God. He stood there for a second as Nick took in the sight. Jeff's blond hair was all a mess on top of his head and water was dripping from it. Nick couldn't' help but think the messy hair was cute on Jeff. And then there was that body, perfectly toned from dancing and hockey. Nick had to use all the strength he could muster to keep his jaw from dropping.

"What?" Jeff asked.

"Oh, uh, nothing. I was just trying to decide if that untidy hair suited you or not." Nick tried to laugh.

"Oh. Well I'm going to go with no." Jeff laughed as he tried to smooth it down.

"Hmm probably not." Nick lied.

Jeff walked towards his dresser and took out a few clean articles of clothing. Nick turned his head knowing that watching Jeff change would be a very bad idea. He heard Jeff re-enter the bathroom and Nick put his head in his hands and tried to clear his mind of those thoughts. When Jeff came back out of the bathroom his hair was dry and neatly combed as usual.

"Are you almost ready?" Nick asked. "We have ten minutes."

"Yep." Jeff replied while tying his tie.

Nick opened the door as Jeff grabbed his blazer off his bed and they headed downstairs to the choir room for rehearsal. Once in the choir room, the boys took their usual seats on one of the couches as the rest of the Warblers began to file in. Sebastian took his new seat at the council table with David in the middle. Nick was beginning to think that the smirk on Sebastian's face was a permanent feature when he realized that Sebastian was looking in the general direction of him and Jeff. Oh no. Nick thought. What if Sebastian knows? What if he knows my secret? Sebastian has always been the one to somehow know everything. Suddenly Nick felt nauseous from nervousness. He transferred his gaze to the floor.

"Hey are you okay?" Jeff asked.

"I don't know. All of a sudden I just felt kind of sick. It's fine though. I'll be alright in a minute I'm sure." Nick knew he couldn't tell Jeff a complete lie. Jeff would know something was wrong.

"Okay, if you're sure. Let me know if I need to make an excuse for you to leave or something." Jeff smiled.

"Thanks." Nick said looking up and smiling back.

Nick noticed Sebastian wasn't looking at them anymore which was a relief and made Nick feel loads better.

Warbler rehearsal actually flew by for once. As they all stood up to leave, Nick heard David mentioning something about a party tomorrow night at the old Westerville warehouse but his attention was diverted to someone pulling his arm.

"Nicky," Jeff began. "Since we're having a movie night, can we eat pizza rolls for dinner like we use to?"

"Of course we can Jeffy." Nick answered.

He couldn't say no to Jeff's puppy eyes. Nick was also pleased that he and Jeff were using their nicknames for each other again. For no apparent reason they had just kind of stopped using them a few weeks ago. On Nick's behalf of course it was because that was a level of intimacy between the two that he wasn't sure if he could handle with his newfound feelings for the other boy.

Nick and Jeff said goodbye to the other boys and made their way back to their room for a night filled with movies and junk food.

"Ok pizza rolls or popcorn first?" Nick asked.

"Uh, both." Jeff said like it was the only possible answer.

Nick spread the pizza rolls out on a plate and stuck his head back in the cupboard and began looking for the popcorn.

"What movie do you want to watch?" Jeff asked as he reached for the stack of their DVDs that were next to the TV.

"I don't care. You can pick." Came Nick's voice from inside the cupboard.

Jeff flipped through the DVDs and finally decided on Pirates of The Caribbean Curse of The Black Pearl as Nick emerged from the cupboard holding the box of popcorn. As the microwave went off signaling that the pizza rolls were done, Jeff turned on the TV and put the DVD in the player. Nick took the pizza rolls out of the microwave and handed them to Jeff who started getting comfortable on Nick's bed which was the closest bed to the TV. After he cooked the popcorn, Nick got on his bed next to Jeff knowing this was going to be a bad idea. After eating the pizza rolls, the popcorn, and some chips, they cleared the bed of their dishes and sat back to watch the rest of the movie. Jeff put his arm around Nick and they scooted back into the pillows.

To be honest, Nick barely watched the movie. He was too busy thinking about how close the two boys were and the feeling of Jeff's arm around him. Cuddling during a movie night wasn't a new think for Nick and Jeff but they hadn't had a movie night since Nick realized his feelings. Nick knew that for Jeff, this was just "what they do." But for him it was a whole lot more than that which is why he wished he would have said that he needed to study or something instead of saying yes to the movie night. But he didn't want to upset Jeff or make him suspicious so he was just going to have to play along for now. But Nick was beginning to wonder how long he would be able to do that. How long until he couldn't handle it anymore? How long until the secret was out? How long before he lost his best friend?
