Author: Chipmunki

Rating: T

Summary: Harry is tired. He still loves Jeff and Jeff still loves him. But sometimes relationships just do not work out. Sometimes one of them does not work hard enough to make it and the other has to let go. Jeff/Harry

Warnings: nothing much. Slash, maybe spoilers to those watching the show in Britain or after it's aired in America, but you've probably heard it all before.

Harry sighed as he waited outside Dalton. He had been here for over ten minutes, waiting for his boyfriend to finish his rehearsal. Jeff had said he would be finished at four thirty and Harry had actually arrived ten minutes late because of the traffic. It was now coming up to four fifty five and they had reservations for half past six. If Jeff was any later they might not be able to make it there on time.

Harry checked his phone again. The wide black blackberry was the only phone he could get that did not stop working completely after he had had it for a month or two. He was certain that there was some sort or wizard or squib influence on its design. The screen flickered slightly when Harry caught sight of the time. His emotions still affected his control over his magic.

It was four fifty seven. It had taken him around forty minutes to drive to Dalton and the traffic had only gotten worse since then. Usually he would not be bothered by turning up late. Harry had never been the most punctual of people. But this was the fourth date that had had to be set back or completely missed because of Jeff. It was either the Warblers or Jeff had school work or that one time that Jeff had made them duck out of a restaurant because one of the boys from his school came in and Jeff did not want them to spread his gay date around before Jeff had a chance to tell anyone.

He still had not told anyone and they were four months down the line.

Jeff had said he loved him. There had been affection in his eyes when they had held hands or kissed or watched a film. Harry had laughed at Jeff's love for fantasy films whilst Jeff had called him adorable because of his affection for Gandalf. They had been happy and together and unashamed.

Jeff had said he loved him. And Harry had said he loved him back.

But it was getting harder and harder to believe each time Harry was put second to something else in his life.

When it came up to five twenty three and Jeff still had not arrived Harry crushed the hope inside of his chest and climbed back into his car. Jeff was not going to come running out of the school at any moment to tell Harry he was sorry, nor would he be able to turn back time. Jeff was a muggle and even then the use of time turners was strictly prohibited so there was nothing to be done.

Eyes set fiercely on the road he refused to look at the blackberry sitting on the seat next to his. It was not buzzing or ringing but the possibility it could made Harry stubbornly turn away from his beloved phone.

He would break up with Jeff tomorrow. He was tired of being an afterthought in the blonde's mind. He was tired of being second or third or even fourth best. But most of all he was tired of the lies and the secrecy.

He was nobody's dirty little secret. He was never going to be ashamed of who he was.

okay, so i have no idea where this came from. i set out to write some Jeff/Harry fluff. because when i love a character i ship them with Harry. And i love Jeff. his hair is awesome. so i don't have a clue what is happening here.

but reviews are love love love, love love love, love love love. there's nothing you can do that shouldn't be done nothing you can sing that can't be sung. nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game. it's reviewing! :)
