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 just another short, sweet one; I keep getting random ideas for these. Which means I need more words! Please help me out!
Elevator
Jeff was not a fan of elevators. He'd never liked them as a child, preferring to climb the stairs whenever possible. And he hadn't outgrown his dislike of the small metal boxes. So the idea of getting into the elevator at the doctor's office with Nick definitely wasn't something that Jeff was looking forward to.
"Really… I can just climb the stairs and meet you up there…" Jeff began, standing back from the doors a few feet as Nick hobbled into the elevator on his crutches. The boy had insisted on getting up and using them instead of the wheelchair, since it was only going to be a short distance and he was sick of sitting all the time.
"Jeff, get onto the fucking elevator or I'm going to be late…" Jeff looked back at the front doors of the building, wondering how long Nick's mother was going to be. "Seriously, if they can't take this thing off because you make me miss my appointment, I'm going to kick your ass with it."
Jeff shoved his hands into his pockets and slowly walked onto the elevator. He hit the button for the fifth floor, where Nick's doctor's office was. Jeff grabbed the railing that wrapped around the elevator, gripping it so tight that his knuckles turned white.
"Dude… what's your problem?"
"I don't like elevators…" Jeff closed his eyes as Nick started laughing.
"Don't like elevators? Seriously? These things are completely safe… they build in all sorts of backups in case the cable fails, and they're inspected ridiculously often to make sure that they won't fail."
"Says the guy who assured me that playing football was perfectly safe…" Jeff muttered.
"I was wrong about one thing… so sue me. Now relax. I'm not exactly in a good position to deal with you when you're having a panic attack." Jeff nodded, taking a few deep breaths and closing his eyes. "Hey… come over here." Jeff did as he was told, moving so that he was standing right in front of Nick. He forced a smile as the boy put his arms around Jeff's waist. "Close your eyes." Again, Jeff did as he was told.
The soft kiss that Nick pressed against Jeff's lips was a welcome surprise. "Better?"
"I would get on any elevator with you, as long as we get to do that on the ride."
