"What? Spider I am so lost right now." Nick frowned.
"I'm...I'm in love with you." Spider looked at him uncertainly. Nick's jaw dropped. "And I know that fucking a girl isn't the best way to be sure but I know I had to do it before I give myself over to you. And and and I know I've been a right bastard to you over these last few months but it's just because that first time I met you in the drama hall I could see myself with you in years and that was really unsettling for me and the way I felt and I tried not to get involved with you until I knew how I felt and..."
"Spider." Nick stopped him.
"Yeah?" Spider looked flustered.
"Shut up and kiss me." Nick said softly. Spider sat stunned for a second then went over to Nick wrapping his arms around him and pulling him to him. He then very, very softly kissed Nick's lips. Just once and then looked at him. Nick snuggled closer wanting more. "Well, ask me out. We've got to do this right. Forget the past and start a fresh."
"Nick, I want you to be my boyfriend." Spider said softly following each word with a kiss to the neck. Nick murmured happily and let Spider kiss him more. "I also wouldn't mind having you right here and now." Nick giggled and slid his hands under Spider's shirt pulling it up and off. They were close and vocal throughout their lovemaking, Spider told Nick how beautiful he was and how good he felt he kissed him often and stroked his soft skin. When they were spent they lay on the sofa together, Nick wrapped in Spider's arms. "Mmm come on Twinkle, we better get you back to classes, you've been missed." They walked together slowly, neither really wanting to be in the company of others. Nick did wonder to himself how Spider would react when they were around their friends -- he was also worried about the atmosphere between Claudia and Spider -- would there be one at all? He asked Spider to stay with him for the day, as he still felt a bit fragile. When the two got back to the drama hall most people gushed over Nick being back and how well he looked and how were the parents coping? So Spider just sat on a sofa with Nile and watched the goings on.
Nick came over to sit with Spider as Lion went to pester Nathan.
"Okay?" Spider asked. Nick nodded. "To be honest it's been great without you. Much quieter." Everyone glanced over.
"Fuck you." Nick snapped with a laugh.
"Well, nothings broken since you've been away." Spider teased.
"Well at least I've not had to deal with a boy that acts like a hormonal bloody woman." Nick raised an eyebrow. The atmosphere of the room was tense but the atmosphere between the two was relaxed and playful. Spider laughed and looked away with a smile.
