Chapter 2

Nick frowned, trying to imagine it. Only being in one place for such a long time. He'd never stayed in one place for more than a couple of years. He never had anything keeping him around for any longer than that. Everywhere he'd gone was interesting in its own way but it's never been enough to keep him there.

"Oh, um. Sure." Nick took his phone out of his pocket, smiling softly. He hadn't even realized the time had gone by that quickly. It really hadn't seemed like all that long.

Jeff handed Nick his phone and waited for him to put in his number. After that, he picked up his bag, and switched his books and headed towards the door with Nick.

After he got his phone back, he texted Nick.

Jeff: hi(:

Nick quickly followed Jeff out of the room, knowing he was going to need his help to find his next class. It was going to be so difficult getting used to all these classes, but he supposed he'd have to get passed all that. Jeff was nice. Really nice, actually. He hadn't met a nice human like Jeff in so long. It was refreshing.

Nick looked down at his phone as it vibrated, chuckling and rolling his eyes, "Hello to you, too." He fiddled with his phone, saving Jeff's number.

"So what class do you have next? I'm in Chemistry," Jeff said, "Double period actually." Jeff opened the glass doors to the outside, and started heading towards the classroom buildings.

"I have history. Which should be fun," he murmured softly. He'd lived long enough to know a lot of history already. It was like common knowledge when you'd lived in so many different towns. It was going to be another very long lesson, but at least this time, he had something to keep him busy.

"Okay! Well after Chem I have one more class and then I'm free for the rest of the day. I'll walk you to history," Jeff said, "What about after that? Since I won't be able to show you to your room, being a double for me."

Nick shook his head, "Study period. So I'll probably just head back to the room and try to get settled in." He shrugged, smiling reassuringly. He kind of just wanted to go back to the room and relax, but he knew Jeff was expecting him to go to this lesson and it was important to keep up appearances.

"Alright, well then I will be back there later. Do you want me to bring lunch with me? I can run out and get some?" Jeff asked.

"Oh. Okay. Sure," Nick smiled brightly. He was sure Jeff must've had a dozen other friends he'd rather be spending time with. He didn't know why Jeff would prefer to come back to the room and spend his time with him. He wasn't about to complain, though. Nick really enjoyed his company. It was simple, and simple was something he wasn't used to with humans.

"Okay! Well here's the History classes, so you can go to whichever you're in, but I need to get to Chem. I'll text you?" Jeff said, and started to head away, walking backwards. He was excited to spend the afternoon with Nick. He just really liked talking to him.

"Definitely. I look forward to seeing you after your lesson." Nick grinned, laughing and giving Jeff a wink as he walked backwards. He wasn't even sure why he did that. He just felt comfortable enough to do that with Jeff, he guessed. Watching Jeff for a moment more, he smiled to himself, shaking his head and walking into his classroom, preparing for another long, drawn out lesson.

Jeff laughed at Nick's wink, and winked back, before turning around and hurrying to his next class. These next two hours will be very boring. About fifteen minutes in, he pulled his phone out and texted Nick.

Nick found a spot towards the back of the room, away from others. He didn't exactly like being the center of attention. Resting his head on his hand, he barely paid all that much attention to what the teacher was saying. Something about the holocaust. He'd lived through this all already. Nick smiled a little when he got the text from Jeff, glad to have something to keep his mind busy.

Jeff: You bored as I am? :p

Nick: You have no idea.

Jeff: First day of school. Dumb introductions. Nothing fun at all. ):

Nick sighed softly, leaning back in his chair as he read the next text, looking up at the teacher for a moment to feign interest.

Nick: So it gets more interesting than this? :) Please say yes.

Jeff: Not really in History, unless you have cool teacher, but cause of alumni donations, Dalton has a lot of money, we get cool stuff. xD

Nick: :( I swear I learned all this stuff years ago. I'd love to see what cool stuff we get though…

Jeff: Oh cheer up! You'll get to see me in about two hours! :P But yeah, they do get cool. We go outside to have class sometimes, and the teachers aren't very strict. As long as you turn in homework and know what you're doing, we pretty much do whatever.

Jeff realized he just sent a two page text, and roller his eyes. Dang I talk too much, he's probably annoyed with me.

Nick looked down at the text, biting his lip to stop himself chuckling. Jeff was a rambler. At least, it seemed that way. And it was kind of adorable. Nick thought it was, anyway.

Nick: Two hours is such a long time… So basically, I'm going to be fine. This school is really dull. You're the only interesting thing to come from it so far.

Jeff had to contain himself from laughing out loud, or else he'd get his phone taken away, but he quickly typed in his reply.

Jeff: haha! Well thanks! You're also the highlight of my day. \o/

Nick smirked, looking down at the text. That was definitely the last thing he was expecting Jeff to say. If anything, he felt like he'd been taking up too much of the boy's time.

Nick: Why, thank you. You'll be stuck with me for a while. ;)

Jeff: Well I would hope so, cause I'm sure you'll be asking the office for a room change sooner or later. I could probably talk your ear off. (;

Jeff couldn't help but chuckle.

"Jeff Sterling, is there something you'd like to share with the class?" The teacher asked, and smirked at him.

"Nope," Jeff said, and stuffed his phone in his pocket. He was thoroughly embarrassed.

Nick grinned, trying to stop himself laughing. Really, it should've been the other way around. Jeff would be doing all he could to get away from him eventually. It wouldn't take too long at all, really. That's the way it usually went, anyway.

Nick: I'd like to see you try. Takes a lot to scare me away.

Jeff: Lol, I'd rather not try to scare you away. I like you. (:

Jeff hit send and then regretted it. Why did he have to say that? Now Nick's going to be weirded out, and think I have a boy crush on him. *ujklandgladsgjklkjndgkjag*

Nick raised his eyebrow as he read the text, a small smirk on his lips. Well, that was new. He hadn't heard that in a while.

Nick: You won't scare me away, trust me. I like you, too. :)

Jeff was relieved at Nick's response. At least the bell rang, and the first half of his class was over.

Jeff: Lol, you know how to get back to the dorm?

Nick sighed in relief as the bell went, quickly slipping out of the room. It wasn't that far from his dorm, anyway and the way was fairly simple to remember.

Nick: Yep, I'm fine. You didn't distract me enough for me to forget. :P

Jeff: Haha, awesome. I'll try harder next time. So what do you want to eat? I'm starving. You mentioned that pasta, and now I want some Italian. You up to go out, or want to order in? Can't wait to get out of this class.

Nick: I don't mind. We can go out if you'd like. Whatever you'd prefer.

Nick didn't want to get Jeff to do things that he wanted all the time. He was going to start feeling like a burden at this rate. Opening the door to their room, he slipped inside, laying on his bed with his eyes closed and sighing softly. His thoughts had been so muddled up since he'd met Jeff. It was strange. He was used to being selfish and not really caring about whether or not he was using a person too much.

Jeff: Okay, there's this really good local restaurant real close, if you want. We're allowed to leave cause it's the first day, we can still go home to get our stuff. :P Want me to help you bring in any of your things when I get out?

Nick stared at the text, sighing to himself. Jeff would probably find it weird that he didn't have that much stuff. He'd have to figure out how to explain that one to him.

Nick: Okay, sounds good. You don't have to help me with my stuff, though. I only have like, one bag.

Jeff: Mkay. That's weird though. One bag? I have like tons of clothes. Too bad we almost always have to wear our uniforms. -.-

Nick stared at his phone for a moment, trying to think of a logical reason for him to have such a small amount of things. He really didn't want to lie to Jeff. And he supposed what he would say wouldn't really be lying. He just wouldn't be telling him everything.

Nick: Well, I travel a lot, so it's always been hard to have a lot of things.

Jeff: oh. That's cool! You'll have to tell me about all the places you've been!

He sent that but added a second.

Jeff: I mean, if you want to…

Nick never had someone this interested in him before. It was strange. But it was nice. He wouldn't object to this kind of thing. Especially with Jeff. Jeff had him more than a little interested.

Nick: If you'd like. I wouldn't want to bore you though.

Jeff: I'm sure you've had tons of fun! It will most definitely not bore me. Class is ending soon, so yay. One more class to go. :D

Nick smiled softly, shaking his head as he read the text. It was crazy how much Jeff's enthusiasm came through some small words on a screen.

Nick: Not sure about fun, but it's been interesting. Urgh, please speed up your lessons. I miss you already.

Did he really just send that last part? Blinking a few times, he rubbed his eyes. He needed to stop thinking so much.

Jeff blinked as he read the message. It took him a while to think of something to say.

Jeff: Well considering I don't know Marty McFly, or the Doctor with his TARDIS, time will remain as usual. :P I know, it sucks.

Nick got a little worried waiting for Jeff's next text. Maybe he'd said the wrong thing. He probably shouldn't have said what he did, but he couldn't really help it.

Nick: We need to get you a time machine. Then maybe I could see you more often.

Jeff: I think I'd prefer a TARDIS. Totally add David Tenant in there as well… (;

He didn't know if he really wanted to be straight out and tell him he was gay…

Nick wasn't sure how to take that comment, biting his lip. He was gay? Maybe that was jumping to conclusions. It had piqued his interests though. It took him a moment to reply.

Nick: Matt Smith's better though. Such lovely hair. ;)

Jeff: very true. :P I liked them both.

Jeff idly wondered if Nick was gay as well. Hmm, doubt it.

Nick: So did I. I think I liked Matt better. Not sure.

Nick didn't know how he was supposed to ask him if he was gay now. He was really interested. He wanted to know. He didn't know why he wanted to know, he just did.

Jeff: Haha, well then Doctor Who marathon tonight? :P

The more Jeff thought about it, the more tonight seemed like a date to him. He hoped Nick didn't take it the wrong way and freak out. Or maybe he wanted him to take it that way…

Nick stared at the text, trying to figure out what to say. There was no way he was going to find out if Jeff was gay at this rate. He had to figure out some way of getting Jeff to tell him without seeming like a creep.

Nick: Oh, I don't know. Doctor Who marathons seem like more of a second or third date deal. ;)

Jeff stared in horror at the text he just received.

Jeff: Oh…

Nick stared at the first text for a moment, closing his eyes and groaning in frustration. He knew he shouldn't have said that. It was stupid. He shouldn't have taken it that way. They'd only known each other a day.

After a minute Jeff mentally facepalmed and added a second.

Jeff: Well, I didn't know you considered the lunch a date? Did you want it to?

When the second text came through Nick bit his lip, trying to stop himself smiling. Well that was a bit better than he'd expected.

Nick: Are you asking?

Jeff worked very hard for an answer to that. Nothing was coming to him. It took him a minute, but he at least got something.

Jeff: If I did, would I be disappointed?

Nick bit his lip, trying to stop himself smiling as he stared at the text. No one had asked him on a date in decades. He'd only met Jeff that day, but there was something about him. He kind of wanted it, if he was honest, but he didn't know if he was getting in too deep. Rolling his eyes, he just wrote the first thing he could think of.

Nick: Handsome, multi-talented guy like you? I'd say your chances are good.

Jeff was overcome with joy, and so very glad that the bell rang and he could hide his excitement.

Jeff: Hey, would you maybe wanna go out to lunch with me? As a date?

Nick smiled to himself. He didn't know what he was getting himself into. The thought of the way Jeff smiled at him was enough to have his fingers quickly typing out his response without much thought, though.

Nick: I'd love to.

Jeff: :D

Jeff was just completely ecstatic and bounded to his next class. The time went terribly slow, but when it was over, Jeff had to contain himself from running back to his dorm. He hadn't had a date in a while, and now he's gotten the most perfect boy.

He unlocked the door, and walked in. He had kept a smile on his face the entire time.
