On the train and then bus on the way over, Jeff had spent most of his time thinking. In fact, he'd been thinking so hard that he'd very nearly missed the bus stop closest to Nick's new place, and the bus driver had rolled his eyes at him when he made a wild dash for the exit at the last minute. When he arrived at Nick's door, Jeff had to be impressed with the new apartment. It was gorgeous, and he knew that if he'd been behaving like a boyfriend, he probably would've already been here to see the place, probably even slept over a few nights already, getting to know Harry, and all the other things that a real boyfriend got to do... that you missed out on when you'd been a sorry excuse for a person someone had been on a date with. It had never even gotten close to being a boyfriend.

When he came inside, he gave Nick a small nod of understanding. He knew that Harry wasn't feeling well, and he certainly didn't want to wake Nick's baby brother if he was resting. He quietly followed Nick to the dining area where there was a pot of tea on, and took a seat, looking across the table in wait for Nick to sit down, too. "I'm really glad that we're sitting down together to have this talk," Jeff said, his tone low so as not to disturb Harry. "Although, I kind of hate that it got this far." He paused, giving Nick a brief smile. "The apartment's beautiful."
