That Loft in New York

A/N: I'm taking a short leave from my other fic, 'Damages on My Soul', but it'll be short lived don't worry. I just felt like starting this one. It's a one-shot for now because I really enjoy writing Niff, Klaine and Huntbastian so I though why not make them all in one fic? Anyway, reviews and thoughts if I should continue this? Enjoy! -Rach

Living with 5 people, some complete strangers, in a loft in New York always seemed to be a little over crowded. Will they be able to make it through despite their own troubles and differences?

"Alright, this is really weird." Kurt says in the middle of picking up dirty underwear on the floor, nose wrinkling in disgust.

"What's weird?" Blaine frowned, his head popping out his room divider.

"Five single gay guys living in one small loft. Doesn't this thought bother you?" Kurt proceeded to throw the underwear in a hamper next to him.

"If anyone still cares, I'm straight." Jeff sighs, stirring a large bowl of mashed potatoes.

"Keep telling yourself that sweetheart." A lanky brunette boy winks at Jeff, chewing a piece of bubble gum noisily. Jeff shot annoyed look at the boy who continued to smirk at him.

"Is this even normal? It's starting to feel like a tv show, a horrible, horrible drama. Except there's hardly any drama." Sebastian laughs out loud, almost choking on his gum, "Trust me honey, there's much more drama then you'd let on. Like last time! Do you remember that night we both got wasted and then we totally-"

"Shut up!" Kurt blushed furiously throwing a dirty wash cloth on the floor, hissing at Sebastian, "You promised to never speak of that!"

Sebastian simply smirked at Kurt who was ready to strangle him, "Yeah, wouldn't want Blaine to know that his preciou-"

Before Sebastian finished Kurt had pushed Sebastian off his beanbag, making him hit his head with resonating thud. He groaned in pain as he rolled off the beanbag.

"Ouch. God Kurt." Sebastian moaned rubbing the spot where he had hit the floor.

"Next time I'm whacking you with that bowl." Kurt growls, pointing towards Jeff's potato bowl.

"What did Kurt do?" Blaine inquired from his room.

"Oh he did many things." Sebastian managed to smirk, wincing as his head still throbbed.

"It was nothing. Just ignore the slimy excuse of a man," Kurt smiled at Blaine direction, then checking his watch, making his eyes go wide as he grabbed his coat and scarf, "Fuck, I'm late! I'm out of here, Todd will kill me for sure! I think it's gonna be a late one so Jeff, could you leave dinner in the fridge and I'll warm it by myself when I get home?"

"Sure thing." Jeff responded as Kurt shot him a grateful look.

Kurt rushed over to Blaine's room and kissed his cheek and proceeded to run out of the apartment.

Sebastian groggily got up from his defeated position and adjusted his bean bags. He rolled his eyes when he caught Kurt kissing Blaine again. "How long is this going to go on? It's getting really annoying!"

"What?" Blaine shot Sebastian a confused look as he got up from his room to make himself some tea.

"You're pretty clueless this morning aren't you?" Sebastian drawled.

"I'm choosing to ignore that, excuse me." Blaine responded, shuffling past Jeff to heat up some water in a kettle.

"It's pretty obvious," Sebastian managed to grunt out as he reached over the coffee table to get a magazine on interior design, "That Hummel likes you. And you look like you like him too. So why don't you stop the disgusting flirting and just get married or something. Your 'old married couple but not' act is starting to annoy me and Jeff greatly."

Blaine faced Jeff, eyebrows raised in questioning.

"I'm not annoyed with you guys," Jeff says, avoiding eye contact while checking on his soup, "I'm just saying, you and Kurt obviously like each other. And,"

Jeff continued to walk over to cut the carrots, "It's sad for me to see you guys not getting together if it's inevitable."

"Bullshit," Sebastian mumbles from his magazine, "I've heard Jeff complaining why you and Hummel wouldn't get a move on already. And he's getting Klaine sickness. It's not healthy, really, it's not."

"I won't even ask why for the love of God you would even mash our names together, but I'll safely confirm that we both are just really close to each other and have a great deal of respect for each other. Nothing more, nothing less." Blaine explains, pouring the hot water in a mug and placing a tea bag in it.

Jeff chocked on his glass of water as Sebastian let out a snort of disbelief.

"What?" Blaine frowned, glancing at both of his friends, "I don't even know why I bother." He mumbled, cupping his mug and made his way back to his room.

"Hobbit would soon get the hint but sadly I'm worried it'll be too late." Sebastian shook his head, clicking his tongue as he gets back to his magazine.

"Yeah, Kurt's hot. I'm actually quite confident that Kurt could get a lot of guys if he wanted to. And if Kurt thinks that Blaine isn't interested would eventually move on with another guy. Disaster." Jeff nodded in agreement.

Sebastian laughed, muttering, "Straight my ass."

"I heard that." Jeff shook his head as he puts a bowl of soup, mash potatoes, plate of cookies and a glass of water on a tray, heaving it up, "Anyway, I've got to bring this to Nick."

"Why don't you ask that man to get out once in a while? Might do him good." Sebastian says, flipping back through his magazine.

"I've tried, but he doesn't want to, so I'm not going to push him to. Don't forget who's providing this loft for us. I don't want to do anything Nick might find uncomfortable with."

"Don't forget to bring me lunch! I'm starving." Sebastian calls out to Jeff.

"5 minutes. I'm going to give Nick his lunch first…" Jeff trails off, using his body to push open Nick's door and smiling slightly as he sees Nick bunched up in his blankets.

"Did you know that Andrew was actually the traitor? He sold off his own sister to the bandits!" Nick shakes his head in disbelief as he heard Jeff come in. Furiously shoving chips into his mouth and pulling his blankets closer.

"Wait? It's Andrew?" Jeff's interest sparked as he set down the tray of food on a small lamp table.

"Yeah, couldn't believe it at first. We both thought it was Jamie because he's the sneaky little shit. But the more you think about it, Andrew makes a lot of sense! He was always being really close to Jane who actually worked with the bandits!" Nick paused as he looked at his lunch, smiling at Jeff again, "Thanks for making lunch, again. I'd probably be dead without you." Nick chuckled.

"No problem dude. Without you I'd probably be homeless." Jeff smiled as he took the tray up and placed it on Nick's lap, "No coughing, sneezing, fever or anything severe today?" Jeff asks, checking Nick's temperature.

"Nah, I feel great today. Thanks for asking." Nick smiles gratefully as he begins to eat the potatoes, "How are the others? That guy, uh, Sebastian? Is he still out to get you?"

"Sadly, no. I have no reasons why I'm still friends with him," Jeff sighs as he pushes Nick's hair back his forehead, "He flirts with everyone though."

"And that Kurt and Blaine fiasco?" Nick continues, drinking some water. "Unfortunately, no move. Kurt obviously likes Blaine and Blaine likes Kurt and such. But, both are too oblivious. Kurt, to admitting to others and Blaine admitting it to himself. I'm worried that Kurt might just give up and move on and we'd have a broken Blaine on our hands. Not a good way to live." Jeff sighs, settling next to Nick to watch the drama in front of them.

"Funny how you don't go out but's so interested in gossip," he teased. Nick blushed, "Well, I like drama. They're interesting." He gestured towards the screen.

They watched in a comfortable silence with Nick quietly finishing off his lunch and Jeff polishing a bag of chips Nick handed him.

"Is it possible that we could go out to the fire escape?" Nick whispers after the commercial break starts.

Jeff raises his eyebrows in surprise, "This is new."

"I, I just felt like fresh air for once. Has been months." Nick smiles over at the blond who nodded slowly, "Sure, Nick. Let's go, come on."

Jeff offered a hand to Nick and helped him up. Nick slowly got up and strapped on a face mask, "Can't get sick though."

Jeff grins at Nick as the two made their way to the window. Nick pushes up the window and helps Jeff over the ledge which was pretty steep and hard to get over without help. How Nick managed to keep his upper body strength while hardly leaving his room always seizes to amazes Jeff.

"Thanks," Jeff nods gratefully.

"Don't mention it."

They continued their way to the top of the fire escape on where the roof was. It was decorated very nicely with a couple of chairs surrounding a medium sized round table with a built-in umbrella. It was very simple yet artistic since Sebastian had designed it.

Nick and Jeff walked over to the table and sat down, doing nothing else than looking into the view. After a while, the two boys started discussing upcoming movies and various new tv shows they should start watching, delighted that they could talk so freely with each other.

Nick finds it sort of awkward and creepy that he likes watching Jeff talk about his passion. His eyes would be wide, full of excitement and his cheeks would flush a beautiful shade of red. And occasionally, when they're watching a particularly adrenaline pumped movie, he always saw Jeff jump up and down spontaneously and damn him if it was the cutest thing he ever saw.

He loved everything Jeff did and this scared him. He never felt attracted to anyone before. Ever. He never got a crush on anyone, doesn't even flinch when he sees a supposedly hot girl or even guy and simply doesn't feel attraction to anyone like a normal guy would. And he was totally fine with this. Without feeling attraction meant no love and that means no heartbreak or longing.

But here comes this boy who offered him a drink after he started having a coughing fit outside a coffee shop. No one had stopped to help him, just pass him, wincing as painful coughs emitted from him. Jeff had been drinking coffee by himself and had gone out when he saw Nick. Helping him up and offering to take him to a doctor and even a drink if needed. They began talking and became very close. Turns out that his office was only a few blocks away from his college and the two became quick friends. They started seeing each other lesser than they liked because Nick mostly works at his loft now, to avoid diseases.

And when Jeff had let slip that him and his two other friends were looking for a place to stay, he thought why not and let them stay with him at his loft. It wasn't like he was running out of money or anything. Plus, Jeff was basically his only friend and something about him made Nick favor him instantly. Ever since they moved in, Jeff had always taken care of Nick and Jeff had no problem with that.

Somewhere in his heart, he knows that he's slowly falling in love with that boy but he knows Jeff is straight. And he knows he should try to forget everything he loves about him because nothing could ever happen, to protect himself with another pain. But for now, he'll watch the orange glow of the sun bring warmth on to Jeff's soft blonde hair

Downstairs, Sebastian wonders about his lunch. Maybe Jeff has forgotten him.
