Hi guys! Sorry I suck at updating. I actually forgot about my story. Yeah… With the help of -anderson-cullen, I've decided to make this a longer chapter. And I also want to thank desacori for inspiring me in the Niff department. We are boarding the Niff and MPreg trains! Well, sort of MPreg. BUT NIFF!

So, continue reading. I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 6

Nick stood frozen on the stairs, shocked. Had he heard correctly? Had Kurt really accused Jeff of being in love with him? No way that could be true. When they had agreed to their friends-with-benefits relationship, it was obviously a "no feelings" type of thing. But, honestly, when had that ever worked? Oh, right. Never.

So Nick just watched Jeff as he tried to blink away his tears. Jeff wiped at his eyes, trying to make it seem as though he were itching them. And if any of the boys walking down the hall knew he was crying, they never showed it.

Nick bolted up the stairs and into his and Blaine's dorm. He slammed the door behind him, and knocked over some books in his haste to get to his bed. With a frustrated sigh, he practically fell onto his bed, mind racing. Was what Kurt said true? Did Jeff really love him? What if he did? Did he feel the same? Should he talk to Jeff? Confront him? What was he even feeling right now? WHAT?

Nick felt sort of guilty that he just left Jeff there crying, but he couldn't stay there. Jeff would've seen him, and he would've known that Nick heard. And he couldn't have that. Not when Nick was so confused.

So… what was he going to do? He wasn't even sure if Kurt was just being a bitch. But then again, the way Jeff reacted wasn't one you would see if someone just accused you of something that wasn't true. So then Jeff must really be in love with him. Oh god.

This ruined everything! Friends who developed feelings always got hurt. Always. I happened all the time in movies; one person always developed feelings. He and Jeff were stupid for starting this anyway. They could have easily just let the first time go, agreed that it won't never happen again, and continue being best friends. Not best friends that fuck, just plain best friends. But they'd chosen to go the stupid route and keep doing it.

Granted, the sex was fantastic. Jeff was amazing – amazing at kissing, and… other things – so he'd seen no reason to end it. Jeff was also amazing as a person – loving, funny, and smart – so Nick didn't want to hurt his feelings. But by not breaking things off, he sort of screwed Jeff in the feeling department anyway. Unintentionally, of course.

So there were a few questions Nick still hadn't answered. What should I do? What do I feel towards Jeff? Do I feel the same? Do I not feel the same? WHAT SHOULD I DO?! Nick was confused. He knew he loved Jeff. Whether that was in a brotherly and friendly way, he didn't know. So, yeah. Nick may think of Jeff sometimes when he's bored in class. May dream about kissing him goodnight after one of their movie marathons. May even want to go out for a night instead of hanging out with the rest of the boys. Did that mean anything?

Yes!, a voice in Nick's head told him. You basically just described a real functioning relationship! Dates, spending time together, kissing! You love him, Nicky! Ha-ha, you loooove him!, the mocking voice said. Nick's eyes widened. He loved Jeff!

"I love Jeff!" Nick said aloud, testing the words. They sounded right, like a casual thing you would say daily, like "hello".

Now he just needed a plan – a plan to get Jeff.

He wouldn't do anything too big, like serenade him. He wasn't Blaine, after all. Something simple would suffice. Like just coming out and saying it. But Nick wanted to give him some romance, to make up for him being an ass – an oblivious ass.

As plans formulated in Nick's head, a huge smile made his way onto his face. This was going to be awesome! But what was he going to do about Kurt…?

Blaine felt horrible. He had barely slept the last few days, felt irritated at everything, and felt sick to his stomach. When he woke up from his restless sleep, he almost had to bolt for the toilet, but he managed to stop himself.

He couldn't be sick. He just couldn't. He had two tests today, in history and in French. He was about to go take the French test, and he was trying to hold his food in. It worked, but he was slipping a bit. He just hoped he could wait until after he took the test.

As he approached the French class, he noticed that everyone was already in class. Shit! He was late! Madame Chase would bite his head off. He ran the last five feet, something that didn't help his stomach, and bolted into the classroom.

"Monsieur Anderson, you're late! We have an examen today! You may sit next to Monsieur Hummel, as he has the only empty seat. Dépêchez!" she almost screamed. He rushed to his seat next to Kurt and hastily sat down.

Madame Chase distributed the tests, giving instructions as she went. As soon as Blaine got his test, he went at it, answering question after question.

Halfway through the test, Blaine started to feel worse. He had to stop and take breaths periodically, to keep himself from projectile vomiting all over the person in front of him. Kurt seemed to notice, because he placed him hand on Blaine's arm and whispered "Are you okay?"

Blaine was most certainly not okay, but he gave Kurt a tiny nod. Kurt looked skeptical, but took his hand off Blaine's arm and went back to his test.

All of a sudden, he couldn't help it anymore. Blaine stood up and ran out of the room to find a bathroom, hearing Madame Chase yelling at him and asking him where he was going. Blaine didn't stop running until he reached the first open stall. He fell to his knees and just let it go. As horrible as it felt, it was such a relief. He just kept throwing up until he didn't need to anymore, and just sat there with his head on the toilet seat, gasping for air.

He didn't hear the door open behind him, nor did he hear the footsteps approaching his stall. He jumped when he felt a hand on his shoulder, though. He whipped around and saw that it was Kurt, carrying the bathroom pass.

"I told Madame Chase that you didn't look good, so she told me to check up on you. Blaine, really. Are you okay? I can tell you just threw up. Why did you come to class?" Kurt sounded worried about him, which was weird, considering their situation. But the hand on his shoulder was comforting, and Blaine felt somewhat better.

"I felt horrible this morning, but I had tests today, and I didn't want to miss them. I had it under control, but then I just couldn't stand it anymore. I feel a lot better now. Thanks for checking up on me, Kurt." Blaine's voice sounded rough, which was understandable.

Kurt responded with a short "any time" and helped Blaine up. He led Blaine to his dorm, despite Blaine's protests, and walked him to the door. Blaine stood in the threshold, staring at Kurt and expecting him to leave. He was shocked when Kurt leaned in and gave him a hug. "Get better soon, Blaine," was whispered in his ear as Kurt clung to him. Blaine hesitantly wrapped his arms around Kurt in return, and the two just stood there, hugging.

Kurt untangled himself a moment later, and took a step backwards. "See you soon, Blaine." Then he walked away.

As Blaine lay in bed, one thought was swimming through his mind. What the hell was that?

After Nick had gotten his plan formulated, he was walking out to the courtyard, where he knew Jeff would be. Along the way, though, he was Kurt, and decided to talk to him about what he said to Jeff.

Kurt didn't see him coming, as he was too interested in his book. Pride and Prejudice, said the cover. Nick tapped on his shoulder, and he looked up, but his reaction was odd, as if he were expecting someone else. "Oh, hey, Nick. What are you doing here?" He seemed clueless as to what Nick was about to say, meaning he hadn't meant for Nick to hear him yell at Jeff.

"Um, yesterday, you were yelling at Jeff. Why?" Nick asked, trying not to sound like he was accusing Kurt of something.

Kurt made a not-so-pleasant sound in the back of his throat, clearly not wanting to talk about it. "He told you? I said some mean things to him, yeah. But he knew I didn't want to talk about Blaine. Did he tell you want I said? I didn't think he would." Kurt didn't really seem that apologetic.

"No, actually, I was walking down the stairs and I heard you two. You were screaming at him Kurt. You made him cry. You said more than a few mean things to him," Nick said gently. He didn't want to make Kurt mad.

"It was his fault! He knew I didn't want to talk about it! But he kept trying! So I yelled at him! What's the difference? He talks to me about Blaine, I yell at him about you." Kurt had some venom in his words. This was exactly what Nick was trying to avoid.

"Kurt. It's not the same. You yelled at him and made him cry. There's a big difference. He's trying to help you two, and you were just being a bitch." Nick realized that this was the wrong thing to say to Kurt the second it came out of his mouth, because the next thing he knew, he felt a harsh slap right across his face. People around them stopped to look at what happened. Blaine, who was across the hallway, looked over at them with curiosity and a look that said he would bolt over there to stop a fight the second it happened.

"You know what, Kurt? You are a bitch. You can't just yell and slap people when things aren't going your way. That's not how life works! Yeah, Jeff tried to talk to you. He wanted to help! But you had to make him cry his eyes out! And just because I try to stand up for him, you slap me! I just spoke the truth. You play the poor me card. Well it doesn't work on me! I see right through you! You were bullied. Who wasn't? I didn't come here for no reason at all, and neither did Blaine or Jeff. So you don't get the right to bully people back! You need to take a pill, calm down, and apologize to Jeff. Karofsky apologizes to you, and you can do the same. Now, I have to go get my man!" Nick turned and walked out towards the courtyard, feeling slightly proud of himself. What he didn't know was that Kurt had a tear rolling down his face, and everyone was staring at him as he strolled out.

Blaine rushed towards Kurt after Nick left. Kurt was actually crying in front of all these people. He grabbed his arm, and pulled him into the nearest classroom, and as soon as the door was shut, Kurt collapsed in his arms, letting out the biggest and most heart-wrenching sobs. He just held Kurt and let him cry into his shirt and rubbed his back in a comforting gesture.

"H-he-he's right!" Kurt cried into his shirt.

"No, Kurt. He isn't right." Blaine kissed Kurt's forehead and hugged him close, and not intending to ever let go.

When Nick reached the courtyard, he immediately knew where Jeff was. You see, there was this giant tree almost the size of the Whomping Willow. When Jeff had first arrived, he went to the tree to eat lunch and had met Nick there, who was engrossed in a book. The two were best friends ever since, and the tree was their spot. So it was clear that Jeff would be there.

Nick practically ran to the tree, and when he saw Jeff, he ran faster, tripping on his feet and falling right in front of the blonde boy reading his book. Jeff was startled to say the least. "Nick? What are you doing here?"

Nick reached into his bag and felt around for what he was looking for. He pulled out a red rose that was only slightly damaged from being inside the bag. He handed the rose to Jeff, who seemed baffled by it. "Nick, are you using this rose to try and get me into bed? Because you know you can just ask, right? You don't need to woo me into it." Jeff stared at him, bemused.

"Um, actually, no. I'm using that rose to ask you to be my boyfriend." Jeff looked shocked. Before he could say anything, Nick continued. "I saw Kurt yelling at you yesterday, and he said you loved me. And I thought about it, and realized that I love you too. You're my best friend, and we have awesome sex, and you're awesome, so I figured it would work out. So, Jeff Sterling, will you be my boyfriend?" Nick looked at Jeff expectantly and Jeff looked back, an odd look upon his face.

Jeff jumped on Nick, tackling him onto the grass. He breathed an of course before leaning in to kiss Nick fully on the mouth. Nick pushed himself up, Jeff on his lap, and kissed back with equal force. Their lips danced against each other's and the only thing going through both of their minds was wow! and finally!.

The next day….

Blaine was throwing up again, which was weird. He'd felt completely fine yesterday after his French class incident. Maybe it was a stomach bug or something… Those lasted for about two days, right? Yeah. He just had a stomach bug! He'll be fine tomorrow! But he didn't feel right. Actually he felt like something big was coming. But that could be just another wave of nausea, which makes him run back to the bathroom. This officially sucks.

Oh, Blainey-days. If only you knew what I have planned for you! AND MY BABIES GOT THEIR SHIT TOGETHER! Well, all four of my babies. There will still be some awkward!Klaine, but only slightly.
