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 sorry that it's been so long since I've written one of these! I've been busy working on my other Niff story, as well as another idea that I'm taking a lot of time to plot out because it's probably going to be MASSIVE, and it's based on another story that is very well known and popular. But I hope you enjoy this chapter, which is related to Chapter 61 (Engagement) and will be related to the very last chapter of the 100 (Wedding).
Ring
Jeff wasn't sure exactly why they had decided to surprise each other with their rings. He didn't really know what to get, which was part of why he had begged their friend Mark to come with him. Jeff suspected that Nick had done the exact same thing, and he hoped that would help make this easier.
"How am I supposed to pick a ring for Nick? I don't know what he's picked out, and I don't want it to be something that's completely different from what he got for me…" Jeff began.
"Jeff… I've heard the story about the claddagh rings… I don't think you're going to have a problem picking out something appropriate," Mark commented as they walked into the jewelry store.
"But this is so much more important than that ring… this is Nick's wedding ring. It means way too much…" Jeff shot Mark a look as the man started laughing.
"Jeff… calm down. I know this is important, okay? We're going to get something perfect. And you know that whatever you pick, Nick is going to love it because it came from you. So stop freaking out, and let's look at the rings." Jeff bit down on his bottom lip, looking at the various rings in the case as a salesman walked up to them.
"Can I help you gentlemen?"
"My friend here needs to get a ring for his fiancée for their wedding," Mark replied. Jeff watched as the man immediately pulled a very plain looking platinum bad out of the case.
"This one is very popular… it's plain on the outside, but inside there's a small heart that leaves an impression in your skin after the ring is removed if it's worn for a long period of time," the man commented, turning the ring around so that Jeff could see the raised heart on the inside.
"I actually really like that one…" Jeff began, taking the ring and sliding it onto one of his fingers to get a feel for how it would look on Nick's hand. It was plain and simple looking; despite the fact that Jeff hadn't really expected to like this particular ring, he was sort of in love with it. "I think this is perfect…"
"You're in love with the very first ring you looked at?" Mark asked, laughing slightly.
"I want to look at some more, but hold onto that one because I think it might be the one," Jeff replied.
Twenty minutes later, Jeff was walking out of the ring store with an invoice and receipt in his hands, smiling. "So, I'm guessing this whole marriage thing is starting to feel real now, isn't it?" Mark asked.
"I just ordered a wedding band for Nick. For my fiancée. This is definitely real…"
