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: Sooo… I'm hoping to get at least two more of these done before I leave for California on Sunday. Considering that today (Wednesday) and Saturday are my only days off this week and I have a TON of things to do in real life, it may only be this one and my next one which will be a rather OBVIOUS choice. So yeah, more words are still needed in the not-too-distant future, so any ideas you all may come up with will be greatly appreciated. If I don't have more by New Years, I'm just going to start adding my own to fill up the 100 spots and then replace them as I get more.

Loveseat

Jeff curled up on one end of the loveseat, his copy of Catcher in the Rye in his lap as he slowly turned the pages, mesmerized by Salinger's words. Technically it was a school assignment and Jeff was already three chapters ahead of everyone else, but for some reason he couldn't put the book down. Given the fact that Jeff was a slow reader thanks to a mild case of dyslexia, that was quite an accomplishment.

"Are you still working on that assignment?" Jeff didn't even look up at Nick's words, holding up a finger to tell him that it would be just a minute before he looked up.

"I finished the assignment an hour ago. It's just too good a book to put down."

"Jeff Harrison actually likes a book? Someone alert the media, I think pigs have started flying…" Jeff rolled his eyes, lobbing a pillow at the other boy.

"Just because I generally don't like to read doesn't mean that I'm not allowed to like books. The problem is that most books don't keep my attention long enough for me the read beyond the assignment. Or to even read the whole assignment sometimes. This one… this one is different." Jeff smiled as he watched the other boy turn his head to read the title of the book.

"I thought they banned that one from Dalton English classes a few years ago…" Nick replied.

"Dean Miller reinstated it as part of the standard curriculum last year. He's a big Salinger fan."

"Only you would know something like that."

"My parents questioned why it was back on the reading list… well, my step-mom did. My dad thought it was kind of stupid of her to question a reading assignment and told me about it," Jeff replied. He patted the seat next to him on the loveseat. "Why don't you come sit down? I could use someone to quiz me for my test tomorrow." Jeff smiled as Nick sat down, gently prying the book out of Jeff's hands and laying it down on the coffee table so that he wouldn't lose Jeff's page.

"Why don't we take a little study break first? Then we can talk about the book." Jeff closed his eyes as Nick closed the space between the two of them and pressed a kiss against his lips.

"I like the sound of that."
