Hello again! Here is the continuation of Chapter 3. Now we're starting to get into the good stuff.
Note: I do not own Glee, it's affiliates, or any characters you may recognize.
In the far corner of the building was Jeff. Speaking of Sebastian, he was also in the corner dancing with Jeff. Nick started moving closer to really see what was going on. Sebastian, who definitely did not appear as drunk as Jeff, held Jeff's hands in front of him and pulled his arms making him dance to the beat. Nick remembered Sebastian's smirk in Warbler rehearsal yesterday and he was sure Sebastian had guessed his secret. Was he dancing with Jeff because he hoped Nick would see them and get jealous? It seemed like something he would do. But Nick was sure Jeff didn't have any part in this since Jeff looked like he couldn't even tell you his own name, he was that drunk. Either way, Nick had had enough and he marched towards the corner with anger and frustration in his eyes.
"What are you doing?" Nick asked, his glare switching between Sebastian and Jeff.
"What's it to ya?" Sebastian said turning to face Nick.
"Look Sebastian, Jeff is really drunk…"
"No I am not!" Jeff whined.
Nick ignored him.
"I know you." Nick said. "And I'm afraid of what you might do to a guy when he's drunk, even if he is straight."
"Does it bother you that I'm dancing with your boyfriend?"
Sebastian smirked and Nick felt his cheeks go hot.
"I like this game." Jeff giggled.
"He's not my…boyfriend."
Nick could feel his heart sink into his stomach as he said those words.
"Come on Jeff, we're leaving." Nick said firmly.
"But, but, but" Jeff protested.
Nick grabbed Jeff's tie that was half undone and began to drag him through the crowd.
"Suite yourself." Nick heard Sebastian say behind them.
Nick was looking for David to make sure that he wouldn't get drunk enough to drive himself and Wes home since Nick was leaving. Spotting them, Nick tugged on Jeff and advanced towards some chairs against the wall.
"Nicolas! Jeffery!" Wes yelled standing up from the chair.
Well Wes was on his way to being wasted, as expected.
"Listen David, I'm taking Jeff home so you'll have to find another way home okay?" Nick said, not letting go of Jeff's tie.
"Yes sir!" David replied.
"Please don't let Wes drive."
"Yes sir."
Nick rolled his eyes and pulled Jeff toward the exit.
"Nicky, where are we going?" Jeff asked as Nick opened the car door and crammed Jeff inside.
"Home." Nick said flatly.
Nick opened his door and got inside the car as Jeff sat in his seat giggling.
"What's funny?" Nick asked.
"It's dark out." Jeff replied.
Nick rolled his eyes.
"Yes it is Jeff. It also happens to be after eleven o'clock at night." Nick said as he started the car.
Once they were on the road for a bit, Jeff had stopped giggling and started playing with his fingers.
"Jeff, how much did you have to drink tonight?"
"I don't know." He giggled. "I remember pouring myself a cup, mohawk man pouring me a cup, and Sebastian pouring me a cup. Oh and Nicky did you see? The punch was blue and pink! One for boys and one for girls. Except I drank both."
Jeff suddenly looked confused.
"I'm a boy right Nicky?"
"Well that depends Jeff. We'll let the way you act the rest of the night determine that."
Jeff looked satisfied.
Nick knew Jeff must have had more to drink than what he remembered. It was probably Sebastian who got him hammered. I'll have to kill him later. Nick thought to himself.
Once they returned to Dalton, Jeff decided he couldn't walk. Nick managed to get him to walk into the building but he refused to climb the stairs to get to their room.
"Come on Jeff. Please go up the stairs."
"I can't Nicky." Jeff whined. "My legs don't work anymore see?" He tried to pick up one of his legs but he kept his foot on the ground and he started to giggle.
"Ugh, fine. Here, get on my back." Nick said, standing in front of Jeff.
Jeff jumped onto Nick's back.
"Weeeeeee!" And again, Nick rolled his eyes as he made his way up the stairs.
Once he had gotten about half way, Jeff quickly slapped his hands over Nick's eyes, making Nick trip a little.
"Jeff! Do you want us to fall?"
"Sorry." Jeff said, placing his hands on top of Nick's head and giggling some more.
Finally the two made it up the stairs. Nick decided to let Jeff stay on his back till they got to their room because he didn't want to fight him to get him to walk down the hallway. He got their door unlocked and before even turning the light on, he stood in front of Jeff's bed and let him go. Unfortunately Jeff didn't let go. And the two boys fell on top of each other on to Jeff's bed.
Jeff was laughing very loudly while Nick on the other hand was rubbing his arm where it had collided with Jeff's knee. All of a sudden Jeff stopped laughing and sat up straight, pulling Nick into a hug.
"Stay with me Nicky?"
Oh great. Nick thought. It's amazing how quickly someone can go from happy drunk to needy drunk. Nick searched Jeff's face in the dark. Jeff was looking back at him in a way he had never seen before. Nick simply couldn't say no.
At that moment they heard giggles and shhhs and the names Wes and David coming from the hallway. Well it sounded like the two of them were going to have a good night. Nick sighed.
Nick changed into some sweatpants and a t-shirt for the night and helped Jeff do the same. Jeff pulled Nick to his bed and they got under the covers together for the second night in a row and again, Nick knew this was a bad idea. Once they were settled, Jeff put his arm around Nick's waist. They were close. Very close. Nick could feel Jeff's warm breath on his face and he had to pull it together so as not to kiss him right then and there. So instead he decided to change subjects in his mind.
"Why were you dancing with Sebastian?" Nick asked Jeff.
Jeff thought for a second. "Because he poured me purple punch and he was so cute, I couldn't say no.
Wait. What?
"Um, did he give you a lot of purple punch?" Nick asked trying not to sound confused.
"I think so."
Well that would explain why he's so wasted. Mixing punches is never good. Jeff probably would have thought Frankenstein was cute with that much alcohol in him right?
"Would you have danced with me instead if I had asked you?" Nick didn't know where that came from.
Nick bit his lip, hoping that Jeff wouldn't detect his jealousy but Jeff didn't answer.
"Jeff?" Nick asked again a bit hesitant.
No answer. Nick stared at Jeff's face in the moonlight and then finally shut his eyes. It was probably a good thing that Jeff had passed out. Nick wasn't sure if he wanted to know the answer to his question. He also forgot about putting up his defense when he asked that question and he hoped that Jeff didn't remember that in the morning. He needed to stop doing this. He needed to stop sharing a bed with Jeff. He needed to stop staring too long when Jeff got out of the shower or when he ate his lunch or when he took notes in class. All of that needed to stop. But once again Nick was faced with whether he could do that or not. As the days went on, the answer got further and further from yes.
