Disclaimer: I don't own Glee, nor do I completely own Nick and Jeff (although I'm pretty much creating their personalities myself since we haven't gotten to know them too well on the show).

A/n: So, I'm worried that you all might get sick of me using the same beginning idea for so many of these drabbles, but I'm kind of in love with this idea. It's pretty much my favorite one I've come up with in quite a while. Plus, it makes for a lot of really sweet moments the way I see these characters. Although this chapter is the reason why the rating for the whole story is going to change… but at least that gives me the excuse for taking a certain word I've been toying with in my head to an M-rated place.

Bath

Nick was really sick of being stuck in bed, especially since it wasn't even his own bed. His parents had decided that it would be best if Nick and his mother just rented an apartment near Dalton while his leg healed. It would make it easier for him to do his schoolwork until he was well enough to go back to living in the dorms. It was only for a month or two, and his parents had already arranged for his dad to come to Ohio for Christmas so that Nick wouldn't have to travel.

The one good thing about being stuck in bed was that his mother needed a break from taking care of him all the time, which was the perfect excuse for Jeff to come over to the apartment on Saturdays while she went out for a few hours to herself.

"You need a distraction, don't you?" Jeff asked as he walked into Nick's new bedroom.

"Please… I'm so bored." Nick winced as Jeff sat down on the bed, shifting it in an uncomfortable way. "Okay… pain pill first, please…"

"Are you okay?" Nick couldn't help but laugh slightly.

"Dude… I have plates, screws, and pins holding together two of the three main bones in my leg. It fucking hurts." Nick watched as the boy nodded, reaching over to grab the bottle of water and the orange pill bottle that Nick's mother had been careful to leave in an easily accessible spot. Nick took the bottle and took a couple of sips as he waited for Jeff to open the bottle and pull out one of his pills. Then he swallowed it quickly, closing his eyes.

"So… your mom said she was going to be gone for a while. What do you want to do?" Jeff asked, settling back in next to his boyfriend and running a hand over the boy's stomach where it was exposed just above the waistband of Nick's boxers. Nick moaned slightly, his eyes closing as his hand went to pull Jeff's hand away. "You don't want that?"

"Want, yes. But I can't move that much right now… and I feel disgusting. My mom doesn't think I need a bath every day since I'm not really doing anything other than working on schoolwork, and I can't exactly get in the shower myself." Nick smiled as Jeff moved over and pressed a kiss against his lips.

"I'll be right back." Nick raised an eyebrow as Jeff got up and started out of the room. Nick was surprised when the younger boy came back in with the little blue bucket his mother had been using to give him sponge baths.

"Jeff… that wasn't me asking you to give me a bath… you don't have to do this."

"I want you to be comfortable. So if you need to get a bath in order to be comfortable while we're hanging out, then I'm going to do that." Nick smiled, reaching up and covering his eyes with his hands.

"This is embarrassing…"

"It's not like I haven't seen you naked…" Jeff replied. Nick sighed and chose to relax, letting Jeff help him take his shirt off and watching as the other boy started to get everything ready. Nick bit down on his bottom lip as Jeff started rubbing the damp, slightly soapy washcloth over his chest, hissing as the boy rubbed across his nipples. "Am I seriously turning you on with all of this?"

"I can't help it…" Nick began. "I normally do this part myself…"

"All the more reason I should be doing it now, then. Just relax, okay?" Nick did as Jeff suggested, closing his eyes and just enjoying the feeling of being taken care of. Nick smiled as Jeff leaned in and started kissing down the side of his neck as Jeff's hand reached down and gently stroked Nick's cock. "Tell me if you want me to stop."

"Fuck… I thought you were just going to help me take a bath."
