AN: Hey guys! So, I decided to do what a whole lot of fanfiction writers seem to do, and start a set of drabbles! I've had a bit of writers block with Looking Too Hard, and so I thought I'd just write some random mini one shots to hopefully jog my creativity. So, I went online to a random word generator, and selected some words, which I will use as prompts for drabbles. I make no promises about it. Some will be long, others short. Some will be fluffy, some angsty (Although there will probably be more fluff, angst makes me sad). Some will most likely be crappy. I also don't have any plans to be strict with updates on this; I'll just upload when I've written something. This is more just a creative outlet for me I guess, but if you guys enjoy reading it then it'll be a win-win situation! So yeah, here we go!
WORD: Apology
"Nick I'm sorry okay?" the blonde called after his friend who was walking away from him down the corridor. He had no idea what he'd done wrong, he'd just been sitting in maths, talking to Sebastian who sat next to him, when he realised his best friend was glaring at him across the room. Sure, Jeff knew Seb wasn't a favourite of most of the other students in the school, but he wasn't aware that Nick had any particular problem with him, especially not one that would cause him to brush Jeff off after the lesson and stalk away without an explanation. Sighing lightly, the blonde hitched his bag higher on his shoulder and turned to walk to his next lesson when he saw Sebastian standing over him.
"Awh, what's wrong Jeff? Did I make little Nicky jealous? Well, his fault, he can't expect everyone to keep their hands off you forever" He said with a wink. The blonde's eyes squinted, trying to figure out what Sebastian meant by that. "Oh come on Jeff, are you really that oblivious?" The taller man groaned, giving Jeff a look of disbelief.
"Oblivious to what?" Jeff asked confused
"Nick. Likes. You. Likes youlikes you. Seriously, I can't believe you haven't noticed to be honest"
"Wait, what? Nick… really?" Jeff thought out loud
"Um, yes. And just so you know, If he's too scared to make a move, my door's open anytime you want it" Sebastian gave his trademark smirk before walking off in the opposite direction, leaving Jeff with his thoughts.
"Nick likes me? I didn't even know he was gay. Why hasn't he said anything to me, I mean, we're best friends! We share a room and everything. I didn't know he felt that way…" Jeff thought, frowning as he walked to the other side of the school for his next lesson. During history, he decided he would have to confront Nick about it later in their dorm.
Nick was sat at his desk, tackling the massive English assignment he'd been given earlier that day when Jeff walked through the door. His heart fluttered slightly at the sight of the blonde, and he quickly turned back to his computer before his roommate and best friend of 11 years could see the blush rising on his cheeks at the sight of Jeff with his hair messed up and his arms exposed in a tank top after dance practice. Over the sound of Nick's typing, Jeff gave a sigh before heading to the bathroom to shower. He decided the best way to broach the subject would just to be frank about it. After he'd showered and changed into his pyjamas for the night, he sat on his bed with his legs crossed, looking over at Nick who was still writing his essay.
"Nicky, can I talk to you for a minute?" Jeff asked suddenly
"Sure, what's up?" The brunette said, swivelling round in his chair, fixing his deep brown eyes on Jeff
"What was wrong with you earlier? You saw me talking to Seb in maths," The way Jeff shortened the other boys name made Nick's hands subconsciously clench in anger, "And you just stormed off afterwards… Seb said that you might have been jealous…" Jeff trailed off. Nick felt panic building in his chest before he turned back round to his work
"Jealous? Why would I be jealous? It's none of my business who you talk to; I have no reason to be jealous. None at all. Nope, not jealous" Nick rambled quickly before beginning to type again. Jeff sighed once more and got up from his bed, walking over to Nick and placing a hand over the brunette's to stop him typing.
"Nick… look at me, please?" Jeff whispered. Nick turned his head to look at the blonde slowly, letting out a shaky breath at how close he was. "Nick, I'm gonna be straight with you, and I want you to tell me the truth. Do you like me?"
"Of course I like you; you're my best fri-"
"Stop avoiding the question." Jeff interrupted. He prised one of Nick's hands from the keyboard and held it in his, "Do you like me?"
The silence in the room was deafening, ringing so loudly in the two boy's ears. All that could be heard was the sound of their uneven breathing as they stared eye to eye. Eventually, Nick's face dropped into a sigh of defeat, and he breathed out a quiet "Yes."
He quickly pulled his hand away from Jeff's and dropped his eyes, looking ashamed. Jeff bit his lip and moved one hand to gently lift Nick's chin up to look at him. He then cupped the brunette's cheek lightly, running his thumb across his cheekbone.
"Good thing I like you too then, isn't it?" Jeff smiled breathlessly, feeling a twang in his chest at the complete look of elated surprise on Nick's face. Before, either of them could properly react, Jeff leaned the small distance between them and connected their lips softly. The kiss was gentle and sweet, the way first kisses are meant to be. When they pulled apart, Nick looked up bashfully at Jeff through his eyelashes.
"I'm sorry it took me so long to say it" Nick mumbled
"I'm sorry Seb made you jealous… but you know what?" Jeff asked, seeing Nick shake his head. He leaned his lips close to the brunette's ear and whispered, "I'm all yours. Always have been, always will be"
AN: Was that awful? I really don't know, I've never really written oneshots or drabbles before, so this is all kind of new to me… well, I hope you enjoyed anyway, I don't know when another one will be up, but sometime soon I guess, anything's better than maths homework (Trig. Urg.). So yeah, leave a review if you enjoyed it, and I'll see you all again soon :]
