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 this one took me a while, because I wasn't sure how I wanted to deal with this one. But then I mentioned Nick being a teacher in another chapter on a whim, and decided that it would be perfect for this prompt!

Apple

Nick was nervous. And given the fact that he had been in show choir and was used to performing in front of large crowds, that was unusual. But this… this was different. Because this was his first day as a student teacher, and he honestly had no idea what to expect.

Nick had been in the classroom before, of course; his other internships in the classroom had gone well enough, but in those cases he'd never been required to actually teach more than once or twice. This semester, he was going to be in charge – the one who actually had to keep the class controlled and make sure that the students actually got what he was trying to teach. And given the fact that he was going to be teaching middle school choir was kind of terrifying.

The apple just sort of rolled out of Nick's bag when he set it down on the desk. He didn't remember packing an apple for his lunch – he'd always been more of a citrus person himself, and as far as he knew the only fruit Jeff ever ate was bananas. Nick picked up the apple, smiling as he realized that someone had taped a note to the side of the apple.

Hey Nick,

So apparently it's tradition to give the teacher an apple. Or maybe that's just if you want to be the teacher's pet…

Anyways, I hope you have a great day!

Love you,

Jeff

Nick smiled as he read the note. It was definitely going to be a good day.
