Hello all! Chapter 5 is here! I hope you all like this one! There's an appearance from someone we haven't seen since chapter one ;) Why can't anyone just let these boys be happy? Lol. I hope you enjoy chapter 5 :)

It's a few days later when Blaine and Nick begin to move all of Nick's things out of his tiny dorm, and storage, into Blaine's apartment. Nick was so thankful to be out of his dorm. His roommate was probably the most inconsiderate person he had ever met.

His name was Allen and he was a sophomore. Every morning when he got up for class he would make so much noise getting ready. It seemed that he slammed his drawers just on purpose to annoy Nick. Nick didn't have to be up for at least another hour after Allen got up so Nick couldn't believe that Allen was this inconsiderate. Nick just didn't like anything about this guy. His cologne reeked and he used way too much of it. He would sit on Nick's bed just to put his shoes on, while Nick was still asleep, when he had a perfectly good chair he could've sat on. And Nick absolutely wanted to punch this guy in the face when every night he would start Skype conversations with random people at midnight. Nick was going to explode. Especially when Allen would get up in the middle of the night, turn the light on, waking Nick up, just to work on his homework that he needed to finish. Nick had had enough. It was getting ridiculous and he knew if he didn't move in with Blaine now, he'd end up killing Allen.

"Have we got everything?" Blaine asked once they had moved all of the boxes in from both Blaine and Nick's cars.

"Yeah, I think that's it," Nick said, wiping his arm across his forehead to get rid of the excess sweat that was on his skin. The both of them had been lifting heavy boxes and furniture for hours and were drenched in sweat.

Neither of them would admit it, but seeing the other drenched in sweat, turned them on a lot more than it should have.

Nick sat down on his bed, now in Blaine's former guest room, and looked at all of the boxes filled with his things. There were so many boxes and he knew it would take hours for him to unpack them all.

"I think I'm going to take a shower before I start unpacking," Nick says, standing up from the bed. The thought of Nick naked in his house made Blaine slightly aroused. Of course he couldn't show that, though. He composed himself and cleared his throat before answering Nick.

"Yeah, man. That's fine, go ahead," Blaine said casually, nodding his head slightly. Nick gave him a smile before walking into the bathroom out in the hallway and closing the door behind him. Blaine walked out into the hallway as well and once he heard the water running in the shower he made his way into the living room. Blaine had just sat down and picked up one of the many magazines that he was subscribed to when the doorbell rang. Blaine got up, his eyebrow furrowed in confusion. No one ever came to his apartment. So who could be here now? Blaine opened the door and his eyes instantly widened when he saw who was standing there.

"H-Hey, Jeff…" Blaine stuttered.

"Hey Blaine," Jeff said with a smile, pulling Blaine into a hug. Blaine hugged him back half-heartedly, not entirely sure what Jeff was doing here in the first place.

"What're you doing here?" Blaine asked, closing the door once Jeff walked in. Jeff shrugged and stuck his hands in his pockets.

"Just figured I'd drop by to see how you're doing. How's life? And why are you all sweaty?" Jeff asked, looking over Blaine's sweaty form.

"Oh, well I was just helping my new roommate move in," Blaine told him, pulling his t-shirt away from his sticky skin to give his chest some air. Jeff smiled.

"Oh, you got a new roommate? Is it a girl or a guy?" Jeff asked, taking a seat on the couch. Blaine sat himself down next to Jeff.

"Oh, um, it's a guy…" Blaine said, not really wanting Jeff to find out that it's Nick. Though he knew he would find out anyway. He was just sort of afraid of two things. One, that seeing Jeff again would cause Nick to be in pain again. He knew how bad Nick was before and he didn't want to see him go back to that state. Two, that Nick would want Jeff back and Jeff would want the same. Blaine was starting to really like Nick. And he knew this was really selfish and he wanted Nick to be happy but…he wanted Nick to himself. Jeff had had his chance with Nick and he blew it. Blaine wouldn't do that. He would take care of Nick and make him happy. But in the end, Blaine wanted Nick to be happy. Even if he wanted to be the one that caused that happiness, he would allow it to be Jeff if that's what Nick really wanted.

"Is he hot? Gay?" Jeff asked with a smirk. Blaine didn't really know how to answer the hot part. Jeff was Nick's ex and supposedly Blaine and Nick were only best friends.

"Well, he's handsome. And y-yeah, he's gay…" Blaine answered, avoiding Jeff's eyes.

"Are you two a thing?" Jeff asked with an eager smile on his face. Blaine shook his head sadly, wishing that he could give a different answer.

"N-No, we're not," Blaine told Jeff.

"Well why haven't you made your move yet?" Jeff asked, giving Blaine's shoulder a small nudge. Blaine sighed and shrugged his shoulders.

"It's kind of complicated, dude," Blaine answered. Jeff frowned.

"How so-,"

"Who was at the door, Blaine?" Nick asked, approaching from the hallway, dripping wet and only wearing a towel draped loosely and low around his hips.

"N-Nick?" Jeff asked, getting up and off of the couch. "What are you doing here?"

Jeff had no idea that these two had already reconnected so quickly. All Kurt told him was that it looked like Nick was getting flirty with someone. That he had spotted him with someone in the middle of the campus, laughing and having fun. At first Jeff said it wasn't any of his business since they had broken up. But it wouldn't get out of his head. It was stuck and it kept bothering him more and more. So he had finally called Kurt back and said that he needed to go see Nick. Kurt said he and Rachel didn't have any room but Blaine had a guest room available and he was sure to let Jeff stay there. Little did either of them know that that room was already occupied.

"I-I live here. What are you doing here?" Nick asked, baffled that he was standing in front of Jeff. Nick finally realized how little he was wearing and began to blush and pull his towel tighter around his hips.

"Y-You live here?" Jeff asked and then turned to Blaine. "Nick is your new roommate? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Why would he have? It's not like it's any of your business," Nick said, not finding acceptable that Jeff was being that way with Blaine. Jeff turned back to face Nick.

"Wait…you like Blaine?" Jeff asked, confusing the two other men in the room, making Nick blush furiously.

"Jeff, what the hell are you talking about? Come here," Nick said, taking Jeff harshly by the arm and dragging him into his room. They maneuvered around the boxes and Nick shut the door behind them as Jeff took a seat on the bed. Nick opened his suitcase and searched for some clothes before walking into his closet to get dressed. Jeff sighed and looked around the empty room while he waited for Nick. Nick finally emerged, fully dressed, and stood in front of Jeff.

"Now what the hell are you doing here?" Nick asked, placing his hands on his hips, a gesture he did when he was annoyed.

"I came to see you. Why is that such a bad thing?" Jeff asked, seeming to be hurt by Nick's annoyed attitude.

"How did you know I'd be here?" Nick asked, purposely avoiding Jeff's latter question.

"I didn't. I just knew this is where Blaine lived so I figured I'd say hi to him. And then maybe I thought he'd know where you'd be. But I had no idea you had moved in with him. Just today, right?" Jeff asked, standing up off of Nick's bed.

"Yeah, just finished like twenty minutes ago," Nick said with a quick nod of his head. "But why did you want to see me?"

"I wanted to talk to you…about us," Jeff said, reaching our for Nick's hand. Nick took a step back, not letting Jeff take ahold of his hand.

"There is no "us" anymore. You ended that," Nick said in a less than kind tone.

"I know… But that was a mistake and I want to try to fix it. If you'll let me. Please Nick," Jeff asked. Nick looked away from Jeff and shook his head slightly. Jeff had hurt him so bad and he hadn't even forgiven him yet, let alone thought about reconsidering their relationship. Nick was nowhere near ready for that.

"I can't, Jeff. It still hurts. It's still too fresh," Nick said in a small voice. Jeff nodded in understanding. He figured this would be Nick's response even though he had hoped for a different one.

"I understand, Nick. But…can we at least try to be friends? Please?" Jeff asked, taking another step towards Nick. Nick took a step back though, keeping the distance between the two. Nick hesitantly looked up at Jeff's face and sighed.

"Y-Yeah, I guess we could try to be friends," Nick said. Jeff smiled and went to pull Nick in for a hug before deciding against it. This was the first step in getting his Nicky back. Nick opened the door and walked back out into the living area near Blaine. Nick sat down next to him, sitting too close for Jeff's liking as he followed him and saw where he sat.

Blaine was still sitting there, still wondering what the answer was to the question if Nick liked Blaine at all. Little did he know that Jeff didn't get the answer to that either. Nick had purposely not given out that information. Maybe because he wasn't entirely sure of the answer himself. He knew he had really strong feelings for Blaine. Nick was just trying to decipher if it was because Blaine was being so nice to him, just like he always has. Or if it was because he was starting to feel something even deeper for this friend that he's known for years.

Blaine could tell that Nick didn't want to be left alone with Jeff but he really wanted to get out of those sweaty clothes and take a shower.

"Um, Nick, how about you go pick up a pizza from Mario's down the street and I'll jump in the shower and we can eat in like ten minutes?" Blaine offered, getting up off of the couch, giving Nick a reason not to be left alone with Jeff.

"What about me?" Jeff asked. Blaine smiled and patted Jeff's shoulder as he walked near him.

"You're the guest, dude. You don't have to do anything," Blaine said, shooting Nick a smile. Nick smiled thankfully at Blaine who gave him a curt head nod in return before disappearing into the bathroom.

"I'll be back in a few," Nick told Jeff, picking up his wallet and keys and heading out the door. Nick took a deep breath once he closed the apartment door behind him. He felt stifled in there with Jeff.

And where did Jeff expect to sleep tonight? He was definitely getting the couch. And if he insisted on sleeping in Nick's bed, Nick would just go see if he could sleep with Blaine. Now a part of Nick wished that Jeff would insist on being in Nick's bed.

Nick relaxed himself as he walked the short distance to the pizza parlor. He would definitely take his time though. He didn't want to be back before Blaine got out of the shower. After all, Blaine was always better in awkward situations then Nick was. Hopefully this whole night wouldn't be as awkward as Nick was expecting though. But somehow, he knew it would.

Psh, no I wasn't ranting about my own roommate while Nick described his. 0.o Okay, maybe I was, lol. I need to take it out somewhere though, don't I? Lol, anywayy... Lucky Nick doesn't have to put up with his anymore because he's living with Blaine! But now Jeff is there! Awkward... Like what's going on in this story? Let me know! Stick around to see what happens in chapter 6 :)
