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 wrote this in under an hour between 12:30 and 1:15 am… and I have to be ready to leave for class at 9:45 because the shuttle isn't working so my roommate and her fiancée are dropping me off. It's going to be a fun day…
Lollipop
If there was one thing Jeff loved, it was the way Nick always seemed to have a lollipop somewhere on his person. It had started off as a joke when they first started talking about relationships and where they stood as far as sexual orientation. Actually, it had started as a dirty joke that Jeff no longer remembered. But it didn't really matter, because Nick had just started carrying them around – in his pocket, in his backpack, in his car. They were just sort of everywhere. And whenever Jeff seemed the least bit sad, one would magically appear in front of his face as a way to cheer him up. It was one of the sweetest things about Nick, that he cared enough to always have something on hand to make Jeff feel better when he was having a bad day.
So really, when Jeff was stressing out over his chemistry notes during lunch to cram for a test, he wasn't all that surprised that a lollipop was dropped on the table next to him. Jeff couldn't help but smile at the other boy.
"God, I love you," Jeff muttered as Nick sat down across from him at the lunch table.
"You really looked like you could use that."
"Chemistry test. Fifth period. I think I may die."
"You won't."
"I'll probably fail," Jeff replied.
"You won't. You're going to do fine… you always do well in science." Jeff smiled at his boyfriend's reassurance. "And if you don't do that well, then there will be an avalanche of lollipops, okay? You know I always have them."
"And that is one of the reasons I love you."
