Jeff groaned as he turned over to shield his face from the light that pouring in through the window from across the room.
"Head hurts?" Jeff heard Nick ask him.
Jeff just moaned in response.
Nick rubbed Jeff's back, "Sit up and take some aspirin." Nick then slipped an arm behind Jeff and helped him sit up.
"Open your mouth Jeffie." Nick instructed and Jeff parted his lips the littlest bit. Jeff felt two small tablets hit his tongue and then cool glass on his lips as water filled his mouth. The blonde made himself swallow.
Nick gently layed him back down on the bed.
"I think you were a little more than buzzed, huh Jeffie?" Nick gave him a small smile as he got up to go get some more water.
"I feel like my insides are melting." Jeff turned over onto his stomach and burried his face deep within his pillow.
Just then door the opened to reveal none other than Sebastian Smythe.
"Morning guys!" He plopped down next to Jeff, making the smaller boy groan.
"Hey! Smythe! Cool it would ya? Can't you see that he doesn't feel well?" Nick spoke up.
The said boy smirked and ran his hand along Jeff's back almost seductively, "Oh, he is just fine, aren't you Jeffie?"
A fire burst in Nick's body.
Jeffie? Jeffie! Only I can call him that! Not some freaking man whore! Who does he think he is waltzing in here acting like. . .like Jeff's boyfriend.
Nick tried to swallow the lump he had in his throat.
"Just friends my ass!" He stormed over to the door and slammed it shut beind him. Pictures on the walls rattled as he did so.
"What crawled up his ass?" Sebastian asked.
"What just happened?"
"Nick is starting to get jealous of us which is good."
"And how long do we have to date?"
"Depends on Nick and how jealous he gets. A week or two, maybe a few months."
"Oh great, I have to have your slimy lips on mine that long?"
Sebastian laughed, actually laughed and meant it. Not his fake laugh he does when he's uninterested in something or is irritated.
"Whatever! I'm an amazing kisser."
"Shut up, you're making my head hurt more."
As soon as Nick walked out of his and Jeff's bedroom he heard that slime laugh. It made Nick so mad he saw red.
If that's not dating then what is it? Ugh! I'm so stupid to think that I ever had a chance with Jeff! He's my best friend for God's sake! And when did Sebastian come into the picture? It happened so suddenly!
Nick gripped his hair in frustration and he had to take deep breaths to calm himself. He was halfway down the the hall from his and Jeff's room when he heard, "Nick? Are you okay?" It was Blaine.
Nick turned around as Blaine walked up to him.
He dropped his arms and sighed, "I don't know Blaine."
"What's wrong?"
"It's just. . .freaking Sebastian! I hate him! I think he and Jeff are dating! Why would Jeff, my Jeff, date someone like Sebastian? It's so wrong on so many levels! I just don't understand! Jeff is so sweet and innocent and Smythe is just a good for nothing whore! He's up to something! Jeff is going to get hurt! I just know it! What do I do Blaine?"
"Jeff told us last night that he and Sebastian are just friends. He wouldn't lie to us. He had no reason to. Just be honest with him about your feelings. " Blaine sat a hand on Nick's shoulder.
"Easy for you to say! You're with the guy you've been in love with for years!"
"Do you know how hard it was to get where Cooper and I are now? I loved for him for the longest time and we both bottled up our feelings for so long and we just broke. It's not healthy. Just tell Jeff how you feel. I think you will be suprised at the results." He smiled.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Blaine continued to smile, "You'll see. I'm sure of it. Oh, hey I gotta get going. Cooper is picking me up. We're gonna go hang at the mall and maybe see a movie tonight."
"Alright man. Have fun and tell ole' Coop I said hey."
With a nod and one last smile Blaine ran off.
Nick wondered around the campus for the rest of day thinking about Jeff and. . .Smythe.
All the while Jeff and Sebastian lounged around Jeff's and Nick's room.
Jeff had been sitting up playing a video game with Sebastian laying down on the bed watching him.
Jeff suddenly felt arms wrap around his middle and pull him back. The controller fell out of his hands as he fell into Sebastian's hold.
"Seb!" Jeff groaned, "You made me lose!"
"Aw. I'm sorry. Will this make you feel better?" He leaned down and kissed Jeff's lips. The two Warblers spent most of the day kissing while their hands roamed over one another's bodies.
Around 5 o' clock Sebastian pushed himself up and said, "I need to get ready our date tonight. Pick ya up around seven." With that said he left.
Not even ten minutes later Nick entered the room. Jeff was just fixing his hair that his friend had messed up and straightening out his wrinkled clothes.
"Hey. Where's Smythe?"
"He left."
"Good," He mumbled.
"What was that?" Jeff looked up innocently.
"Uh noting. Why don't we stay up late tonight and play some video games? We haven't done that in a while. We can go get some snacks and stuff."
"Oh Nick I would love too, but I already have plans."
"With Smythe?" Nick sneered.
"Yes. Why is that a problem?"
"He's not good for you Jeffie! Why can't you see that?"
"We are just friends. If it turns into something more then it does. And if it does then it's really none of your business."
Nick pysichally flinched. When had Jeff become like this? Like Sebastian. Quick to tell somebody off. Jeff has never been mean to me. Ever.
"You're right. I'm sorry. If you and Sebastian. . .do date or whatever it isn't any of my bussiness. I just worry about you."
Jeff stood from the spot he had been sitting on his bed and walked over to Nick where they reached out hugged. Their bodies were pressed tightly together.
"No, it's fine. I'm sorry Nicky. I didn't mean to be so rude to you."
"It's okay, it's okay." Nick said into Jeff's shoulder.
"Friends?" Jeff asked.
"The best."
"Until the end."
As they were releasing each other Nick leaned down and pecked Jeff's cheek. Jeff felt dizzy. He forgot how to breathe and his heart beat became irregular.
Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Nick just kissed me! Oh my gosh! Why? We've always been close, but kissing? What just happened? Jeff thought.
Nick's throughts were a little different; Oh God! I just kissed Jeff! What if I had let my feeelings take over completely and I kissed him on the mouth! He would have pushed me away and I would have lost him forever. I couldn't live without Jeff in my life. I know I can't have him the way I want, so I'll take what I can get; his friendship. Maybe if I act like nothing happened so will he.
"So um, what are you and Smythe gonna do?"
"Catch a movie. Do you want to come with us? I think we're seeing The Apparation."
"You don't like horror movies."
"Yes I do! Just movies like Psycho or Halloween or The Hitcher, not. . ."
"Supernatural ones?"
Jeff nodded.
"Well then you like thrillers, my dear friend."
"Whatever. Do you want to come or not?"
"No thanks. I'll might go hang out with Trent and Wes. You guys have fun. Be home on time and no drinking. I mean it."
"Yes mother." Jeff rolled his eyes and grinned.
He began to get ready. He decided on yet another plaid shirt with jeans. Just as he was tying his shoe there was a knock at the door.
"Bye Nicky." Jeff said as he got up and walked over to the door and stepped outside.
"Hey Seb." He closed the door.
Sebastian leaned down and kissed his cheek, "Hey Princess."
"Ugh! I told you not to call me that!"
The other boy slipped an arm around the blonde's shoulder, "Whatever. Come on. We're going to be late. Oh, and by the way you're paying for our tickets."
"I will if you pay for our drinks."
"Deal."
As Jeff was getting ready Nick sent out a txt; Meet me out front ASAP!
As soon as Jeff left Nick made his way to the front of Dalton. He waited for a few minutes before he felt a hand on his shoulder.
He let out a yelp and twisted around to see Trent and Wes.
"Don't do that!" Nick shrieked.
"Sorry man. I didn't mean to scare you." Trent said looking guilty.
Wes rolled his eyes, "Alright guys, enough! Nick what did you need?"
"I'm kind of going to uh. . .follow Jeff and Sebastian on their date and I want you guys to come with me."
"So, you've stooped to stalking?" Trent asked as he shoved his hands in his pockets. It was the middle of December and it was getting colder and colder with each passing day.
"No!" Nick instantly yelled, but then he looked at his friend's smirking faces.
"UGH! Fine! Yes, yes I am! You guys have to help me out! I just want to know how serious they are and I can't do that when they know I'm around. Now we need to leave now! So are you with me or not?"
"It's not right, but I would like to see those two on a date." Wes said.
"I don't know Nick," Trent started to say, "It just isn't right. Jeff is a very good friend of mine and I would rather Jeff date anyone else in the world besides that, that slime ball!",
"Okaaaay? Soooo are you in or not?" Nick asked starting to get impatient.
"I guess so, BUT I'm not happy about this."
"Alright, alright. Come on. We need to get going."
The three boys left in Nick's car.
With Jeff and Sebastian they were driving along the highway.
"Nick kissed me today."
"He what?" Sebastian took his eyes off of the road for just a moment to look at Jeff.
"Yeah, on the cheek. He doesn't like you and I together and we got into a little arguement today."
"Wow, this plan is working out faster than I thought."
"I really don't think he likes me like that Seb. We're just close friends."
"I don't kiss my close friends."
"You kiss me."
Jeff saw Sebastian tense up a little, "I do, don't I?" He smiled and it was a new smile. A different smile. Sebasitain always smirked, he never just smiled and let happiness flood his entire body.
Jeff smiled and took one of Sebastian's hands off of the steerling wheel and held it.
"You know Jeff you're the only friend that I have."
"Don't be ridiculous Seb. You have tons of friends."
"No, I have a lot of people that hang around me for my money or because they're. . .scared of me. You are my only friend. I don't know why, but I trust you. And I have to admit something to you, when I told you I would help you get Nick I never thought it would work. I was just messing with you. I'm so sorry. I hope you can forgive me. I am going to help you get with Nick if it's the last thing that I do. I promise."
Jeff thought all about what Sebastian had just said, "It's okay. Thank you Seb." He leaned over and kissed his friend's cheek.
They finally made it the theater. Jeff payed for the tickets and Sebastian payed for their drinks and popcorn. And they sat in the middle of the seats. There weren't that many people there. About maybe fifteen.
Nick, Wes, and Trent sat a few rows from the top.
Trent and Wes were eating a large bucket of popcorn, while Nick huffed and puffed. He wanted to be the one that Jeff went out on dates with. He wanted to put his arm around Jeff's shoulders in a boyfriend way.
"Hey guys."
The three boys turned to see Blaine and Cooper.
"Oh what's up Blaine?" Trent asked cheerfully.
"Coop's been dying to see this movie." He sat down beside Trent.
"I love horror movies." The older Anderson said as he sat down on the other side of his brother.
"I didn't know you guys were into these kind of movies." Blaine said.
"We aren't, but Nick wanted to spy on Jeff and Sebastian." Wes replied.
"They're here too?"
"Yeah, riiiiiiight doooown there," Trent pointed.
"Ah, I see. Let me guess. You still haven't talked to him have you?"
"No," Grumbled Nick.
"Well. . ."
"Shh," Cooper said and wrapped his arm around his brother as the lights went out.
It was halfway into the movie Jeff had his face burried in Sebastian's shoulder.
"You are such a whimp." Sebastian laughed.
"It's not my fault. I prefer. . .thrillers. Not down right pee your pants supernatural ones."
"Are you going to be alright by yourself while I go the restroom?"
"Just hurry back!"
The boy with the full bladder laughed again, "Sure thing Princess." He got up and left the theater.
"Where is he going? He shouldn't leave Jeff alone! He's scared! What kind of date is he?" Nick was furious.
"Calm down Nick. Jeff is a big boy. He can be alone for a few minutes." Wes commented.
Not even two moments later the singer came back. He glanced around to look at all of the people's scared faces and saw something that made him smirk. He then walked back to Jeff and slipped an arm around him once again.
"So, don't look now but your boyfriend is here with some of The Warblers."
"What?" Jeff tried to turn around, but Sebastian grabbed his face and made Jeff look at him.
"I said don't look. Duval keeps staring at you, at us. So let's give him a show, shall we?"
"I. . .don't know."
"Oh come on. Are you getting cold feet already? This is only our second date."
"It's just that. . I don't know. Nick doesn't like us together. It makes him so. . ."
"Jealous? Well isn't that our plan?"
"He seems so angry and sad."
"Then our plan is working then. Live a little Princess."
"I told you to stop calling me that. I just don't feel like it tonight. I'm so sorry Seb."
Sebastian sighed heavily, "It's fine. Don't worry about." One of his hands rested on the back of Jeff's neck and his thumb stroked over the flesh softly. The guesture seemed so sweet to Jeff. They went on watching the movie, well Sebastian did. Jeff hid his face in his friend's shoulder.
After the movie ended they walked out, holding hands.
"I wonder why Nick and the guys were here."
"He's jealous of our unbreakbale love so, he decided to spy on us."
Jeff playfully shoved his friend, "Whatever."
"Did you tell him where we were going tonight?"
"Yes. He asked me."
"He wants you. I can tell."
"Sure he does." Jeff said sarcastically.
Nick and his friends weren't too far behind them. Nick was heart broken when he saw them holding hands and laughing together. They broke away from the crowd and began walking to Sebasitan's car.
"That movie was so scary! Oh my goodness!" Trent shrieked.
"It was not!" Cooper argued, 'The special effects sucked."
"Was so!"
"Not so!"
Wait what?"
"You heard me!"
Blaine laughed, "Sorry Trent. He's speaking Cooper."
"Nick stop staring at them. You look like total creep." Wes said.
"I can't help. . .oh my God! Th- those two guys are heading for them!"
"What?" His friends said all at once.
They all looked in the direction the blonde and brunnette were walking and sure enough there were two hooded figures walking striaght towards the couple.
"They look sketchy." Trent commented.
"What do we do?" Blaine asked.
"We have to warn them. JEFF! JEFF!"
The couple up ahead turned around, Sebastian saw what was going on and his grip on Jeff's hand tightened. "Run. Now!" They took off, but the guys ran after them.
Cooper was already on his cell phone dialing 911 while his arm around his little brother tightened in a protective way.
"Oh my God. Where are they? I don't see them!" Nick was in a panic.
As the two The Warblers were running trying loose the two creeps all Jeff could think about was Nick. Nick had saved them, If Nick hadn't been there then. . .Jeff shivered at the thought of what would have happened.
They finally made it to Sebastian's car and got in as fast as they could. Sebastian was just turning the engine on when the window on Jeff's side was smashed. Glass went everywhere. Jeff let out a small a startled yelp. Sebastian leaned over and tried to punch the guy and he got a good punch in.
A police car's sirens went off and soon the policemen had the two men on the ground face down.
Jeff and Sebastian stepped out of the car and embraced one another. In just a short five to ten minutes they went through a very tramatic expieriance.
"You're bleeding." Jeff said.
Sebastian looked at his knuckles. It was a giant cut across them and it had bits and pieces of glass in it.
"It's not that bad. You're bleeding too." He reached up with is good hands and gently touched Jeff's right temple. Blood soaked his fingers. The cut had glass in it too.
Sebasitan took off his grey sweater and pressed it to Jeff's wound. Jeff winced.
"Jeff!" Nick ran up to them, the rest of their friends not too far behind. Nick wrapped his arms around Jeff.
"Nick." Jeff fell into Nick's hug.
"Oh God. You're hurt."
"I'm okay. I'm okay." Jeff said on the verge of tears. He was trying to be strong. It was hard. His heart was still beating a mile a minute.
"You alright man?" Wes asked Sebastian.
The singer looked at Jeff and Nick hugging and then back at Wes, "I'm fine."
An ambulance showed up a few minutes later and gave Sebastian and Jeff stitches.
After the paramedic finished stitching Jeff up, Sebastian helped him down. He was a little dizzy since he had lost a little more blood than his friend did.
He stumbled into Sebastian's arm.
"Hey, let me take you back to school Jeffie." Nick spoke up, his stomach churning as he saw his Jeffie and that slime so close together.
Jeff looked at Nick and then back to Sebastian. He wanted more than anything to let Nick lead him to his car and fall into bed and just sleep, but he also didn't want to leave Sebastian all alone. They just went through something so terrifying and just so, so awful.
His friend smiled, "It's okay. Go on. I'll be fine. Just text me tomorrow alright?"
Jeff nodded which made him more dizzy and his legs gave out. Jeff was so lucky Sebastian had a good grip on him or else he would have been on the ground.
Nick wrapped Jeff's around his neck and Nick held on tightly to Jeff's waist and helped Jeff to his car.
He tossed his keys to Wes and got into the back with Jeff. He layed Jeff's head down in his lap. While drove and Trent sat beside him in the passenger's seat. Nick ran his fingers through the blonde hair he loved so much.
Jeff took in a shaky breath. Everything was playing over in his head again in slow motion. A few tears leaked from Jeff's eyes. Nick looked down at the state his best friend was in and wiped his tears away.
"It's okay now Jeffie."
Jeff started crying, sobbing uncontrollably.
"I was so scared Nicky."
"I know baby, I know." Nick's heart broke seeing the love of his life like this.
"I'm glad you were there tonight. If you hadn't then. . ." He sobbed harder.
"Jeffie you're safe now." He stroked the blonde's cheek with the back of his hand. Jeff cried all the way back to Dalton with Nick comforting him and trying to calm the poor boy down.
As Cooper drove Blaine to Dalton he noticed that his brother was very quite and starred out of the window the whole drive. Cooper pulled into Dalton's parking lot and sat a hand on Blaine's knee.
It startled Blaine a little, "Sorry. Are you alright B?"
"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine."
"You're lying to me. Tell me the truth right now."
"It's um. . .it's just that I'm glad Jeff and Sebastian are alright."
Realization hit Cooper like a ton of bricks, "My God B. . .are you thinking about the dance?"
Blaine grew quite once again.
Cooper reached over and unbuckled Baline's seat belt, "Come here B."
Blaine scooted over and Cooper wrapped his arms around him tightly.
"You're okay Blaine."
"I - I just. . .so many memories came at me when I saw. . .J- Jeff and Se. . .run. I just. . ." Blaine sobbed.
"I know, I know. It's okay. No one can hurt you now. I'll protect you."
"Don't leave me alone tonight Coop," Blaine begged, "Please."
"I won't. I promise. You're coming back to the house with me. I'll call your school in the morning to tell them that you got sick when we wet out tonight and you stayed with me so that I could take care of you. Everything will be just fine, B." He wiped Blaine's tears away and Blaine nodded.
He then kissed Blaine's forehead and drove home.
In Nick and Jeff's room Nick layed Jeff down on his bed and covered him up as he stood up Jeff reached out and tugged on the sleeve of his shirt.
"Stay with me Nick. Please," He whimpered more tears falling from his eyes.
Nick smiled and climbed into bed with him. He wrapped his arms around Jeff's waist and Jeff rested his head on the brunnette's chest.
"You saved my life Nicky."
"Jeff. . ."
"Thank you," The pain meds that the paramedics gave him were making him drousy, "I just wanted to tell you that you mean a lot to me and that. . .I. . ."
"That you what Jeffie? Jeff?" It was no use Jeff had fallen fast asleep.
I wonder what he was going to say? Probably something like, 'I owe you man,' or someting like that. Oh God. I could have lost him tonight. If I hadn't been my stupid and jealous self then I would have stayed in tonight and those two guys would. . .oh my God. No. I have to tell Jeff how I feel. How though? I'm the biggest scaredy cat ever! Be a man Nicholas Lawrence Duval! I can do this. I can do this. . .on Monday. Orrrr maybe next month?
Nick drifted off to sleep with Jeff in his arms and he only wished that they could sleep like this every night.
