Jeff had been watching Rory, too, and he had to smile just a little, before shaking his head. "Poor little guy's beat," he observed quietly. "I don't think I've ever seen a kid just kick out like that, though. He really must be a sleepy little one. Teething looks like hard work." He knew Rory was miserable, and he hated it for the little guy. It was an unfamiliar feeling that he wasn't sure he could really put his finger on. He was always concerned with those things when it was one of his patients, and especially if said patient was a child, but this wasn't like a patient. This was Nick's child. The flesh and blood of the best friend Jeff had ever had, barring no one. And that meant something, but Jeff wasn't even sure what yet.
"I didn't really think it would be your thing," Jeff replied. "I mean... You always kinda seemed like you'd want sex to be something special. I don't know, though, you may have been another Brian Kinney before you got with Rory's mom. It's been ages since I've seen you. But that just... doesn't seem like something that's changed with you." Jeff didn't know what was happening, but Nick's eyes were holding his as he spoke, and he just couldn't look away. There was an almost awkward feeling hanging between them, but Jeff wasn't sure it was even that. Awkward didn't seem like the right word. But it was definitely something, and it only increased when Nick reiterated his statement that Jeff was hot. Only it really didn't sound like a joke, and Jeff wasn't sure how to take it. It was just... quiet, and they were both staring at each other, and Jeff wasn't sure why there was an overwhelming urge in him all of a sudden just to kiss Nick... well, maybe not *just* kiss him, but that would definitely be a start and... what the fuck was he thinking? Nick's two year old son was sleeping on the floor right in front of them. It wasn't right to mack on a little kids dad right in front of them, was it? Even if Rory was asleep... Right? He couldn't do that. Could he? Of course... maybe one kiss wouldn't hurt? Maybe? In the midst of all the back and forth in his mind, Nick was still looking at him and Jeff felt like he had to do something. So maybe it was ADHD, and maybe it was just what he needed to do, but he leaned closer to Nick and pressed a kiss to the other man's lips -- soft and questioning, but very much a kiss -- and waited to see what might come next.
