Chapter 5

"Chris! Chris!", Jeff called running after Kurt. Kurt turned towards him, as Jeff caught up to him.

"Yes, Jeff?", he asked.

"I was wondering if you could help me with my French project? I suck at French, and your almost as fluent as the teacher.", Jeff said slightly out of breath after chasing after Kurt.

"Sure, Jeff. How's tomorrow sound?", asked Kurt, smiling.

"Sounds great!", said Jeff smiling, "See you tomorrow, Kurt." He walked away. Hopefully he wouldn't fail French now.

Several months later...

Kurt was still helping Jeff with French, but Jeff, being Jeff, was to proud to admit he was getting help from Kurt, so he didn't tell Nick. Nick was starting to think that Jeff was cheating on him or going to leave him. So he decided to go talk to Kurt.

He knocked on Kurt's door. It only took a minute before the door opened to reveal Kurt.

"Nick! What are you doing here?" Kurt asked sounding surpprised.

"Can I talk to you?" Nick asked his voice sounding hollow.

"Sure." Kurt said, frowning. He let Nick in, and they sat on the bed next to each other. "What's wrong Nick?"

"Do you think Jeff's cheating on me? Or planning to leave me?" Nick croaked, tears beginning to form in his eyes.

"Why on earth would you think that?" Kurt asked.

"Because he's so perfect!" Nick exclaimed, "And what if he goes back to being straight? I've heard about people doing that. They think their gay or bi or whatever, and then one day they just wake up and nope! Back to staright..."

"Nick!" Kurt interuppted his rambling. Nick looked at Kurt with scared eyes. "Talk to Jeff. One thing I've learned from experience, when you feel like this talk to the person. Don't keep it bottled up. It'll just hurt both of you."

"Okay." Nick said nodding. He got up, and headed toward the door. He turned back for a moment to Kurt. "Thanks, Kurt."

Jeff arrived back at Dalton around ten. He had gone with Blaine, and Trent to the mall to shop for baby stuff. Jeff absolutely adored babies. He wante to have babies someday. He and Nicky. He opened the dorm room door, and saw that Nick was sitting on his bed, waiting.

"Hi." Jeff said, cheerfully, not noticing Nick's sad expression.

"Can we talk Jeff?" Nick asked, sadly.

Jeff frowned noting his boyfriend's tone. He sat on the bed next to Nick.

"What's wrong Nicky?" Jeff asked.

"How long until your leaving?" Nick asked montonously.

"Why would I leave Nicky?" Jeff asked.

"Why don't you just drop the act Jeff?"Nick said coldly. "I know your cheating on me. You've probably gone back to being straight. I hope you guys have a nice life, and I'm sure she's beautiful." Nick moved to leave, but Jeff held his hand, pulling him back onto the bed.

"What the hell are you talking about, Nick?" he asked, confusion and hurt in his eyes.

"Every night. How you slip off when you think I'm asleep going to see whoever.", Nick said bitterly, rolling his eyes.

"I'm not cheating on you." Jeff said quietly. Nick felt angry. How could Jeff lie to his face?

"Then tell me where you sneak off to every night then Jeff!" he yelled. "Huh? Where do you go? Or maybe it's a guy. Do you sneak off to Sebastian's room every night?"

"No!" Jeff yelled starting to get angry.

"Then where do you go Jeff?" Nick asked, "Cause you sure as hell aren't here with me!"

"Kurt's been turtoring me okay!" Jeff yelled, justas Nick was about to start going again. "Kurt's been tutoring me in French and English. Because I'm a fucking dyslexic retard who can't even read a valentine's day card!"

Nick stared at Jeff in shock. Jeff was dyslexic? Why hadn't he ever told Nick?

"Why didn't you ever tell me?" Nick asked, hurt.

"Because I was to proud." Jeff said, looking at the floor, a tear starting to roll down his cheek. Nick wiped it away with the pad of his thumb.

"Why didn't you ever tell me you were so scared that I'd leave you?" Jeff asked.

"I thought you'd think I was being a baby or something." Nick said shrugging. Jeff took Nick into his arms, pulling the smaller boy completely into his lap.

"Nicky, baby, everybody has insecuritys. We have to talk about it. Somehow I think we missed that, and just jumped to conclusions. You thought I was leaving you. And as far as I knew you were fine. So really, both of us are to blame I guess. You have to tell me when I'm doing something like that babe. I don't always realize. You know me."

"I know." Nick said, from where his face was buried in the crook of Jeff's neck. "I promise to tell you next time I feel like your ignoring me."

"Good." Jeff said, kissing Nick's cheek. "Now I want to snuggle with my boyfriend and go to sleep." Nick giggled at Jeff's antics, and snuggled into bed next to him.

"Good night, Nicky.", Jeff said.

"Good night, Jeffy." Nick said.

So I just realized that all these chapters end with Nick and Jeff saying good night to each other, and that was totally unplanned 0_0... weird! Anyways hope you like the chapter. ~Blackbird
